Editor’s Note: The Blind Madison has unfortunately closed since this article was originally written. It was replaced with another restaurant that’s just as unique and you can see more of it here.
We get so few warm months here in Wisconsin that when the weather finally starts to heat up, we love to spend as much time outside as possible. There’s something so refreshing and relaxing about having a great meal outside.
The Madison Blind is named after the duck hunting structure and sits atop The Graduate Hotel. With views of Lake Mendota and the Capitol Building, it’s hard not to imagine yourself sipping a drink and enjoying summer in Wisconsin up on their roof.
Perched above Madison, the Duck Blind offers a chance to get out in the fresh air and have some delicious food and drinks.
Since our warm weather can be fickle at best, they've got outdoor heaters and an indoor dining room with so many windows you'll feel like you're outside.
