Banquet Room for up to 50 people!
Let us take you back in time.......
The year was 1929, Prohibition was strong but those who
controlled the booze were stronger. Speakeasies, safehouses, and
underground taverns were popping up allover the country. Even right here
in Madison at Capone' s Bar Next Door. The front was known as "The
Wonder Bar". But what happened behind the scenes was a different story.
The Wonder Bar was built by a gang from Chicago's
northwest side. They controlled all of the unions , and had a lucrative
booze distribution business. They transported their beer from place to
place undercover in large oil tanker trucks, even supplying Al Capone with
the much-needed beer he couldn't find elsewhere. When the building was
constructed it was built bullet proof, bomb proof, and even had a tunnel
that led to a nearby lake for a quick getaway. Time still stands still
here at Capone's Bar Next Door, with the original back bar,
fireplace, and the entrance to the old tunnel still in tact. Along with
the "Cheers" like atmosphere, pool, darts, great sandwiches and a fun
selection of music, you're bound to have a great time at Capone's Bar
Next Door.
Hope to see you soon!
