About the Shed

Open since 1969, the Red Shed is one of the oldest and best bars in Madison, faithfully serving as the go-to establishment for Badger fans, students 21 and older, and the greater Madison area.

Known for the amazing service, the cozy atmosphere and the best Long Island Iced Tea ever, the Red Shed is a must stop when in Madison!

Our Specialties

Long Island Iced Tea

"The real thing", a massive 32 oz. mix of heaven, served in the iconic Ball mason jar and topped with a lemon slice, all for the cheap price of $11.

The coziest bar in Madison

Great location,
inviting atmosphere

Located at 508 State Street, it's a short distance from the University Campus and within walking distance of Camp Randall Stadium, making it perfect for a celebration drink or an exciting weekend with your friends.

The Shed's busiest hours are at the end of the week leading into the weekend when classes are over and the badgers are playing. Apart from the usual crowd, Red Shed continues to be a popular destination for sports fans during the state tournaments, due to its close proximity to the Kohl center.
