Since 1953

Tradition
starts here

Since 1953, State Street Brats has held court at 603 State St. in the heart of downtown Madison.

What started as Shorty and Lammy's BratHaus became a true UW–Madison staple.

Year after year, students, alumni, and locals come together for big games, cold beer, and the kind of nights that turn into stories.
