The Great Dane Pub & Brewing Co.

One of Madison's favorite brewpubs, the Great Dane has been in this 140-year-old former Fess Hotel since 1994 — though some people think a few older guests never checked out.

A storage room in the basement known as the spooky room is constantly cold and evokes a feeling of dread so intense that few staff can stand to be in its presence. Employees avoid the basement alone at night. Upstairs, glasses have been known to slide across the bar and doors swing open in the former hotel rooms above the pub.
