Slainte Irish Pub

This place has had a lot of change over the past couple of months, and it's good change! This is where you go to dance on the weekends in FoPo, and where you can get something better than bar quality to eat during the week. I know they have a DJ a couple nights a week, but I'm not much of a weeknight bar dancer. They have free pool one night a week, pretty good specials, and some very knowledgeable bartenders (Arielle in particular). Come for a good beer, great food, and excellent conversation. Stay for the dance floor. Or at least to people watch. very worth it. This is also a pretty good place to go just to watch the game. Football, Hockey, Baseball, Soccer, it will be on.

definitely a solid 2 star place!  hahah yup. This place tries, but falls very short of a good time.

their juke box sucks
there is like 1 cool bartender.
menu is generic and barely palatable.
the pool tables are ok.
they have $5 pitchers most nights
they have a $3 shelf of liquor that is only in service 1/2 the time.

they have the worst dj set up located on the first floor, and the dance floor is on the 2nd floor. awkward. this lace has been pretty dead most nights for the last year and 1/2. It seem like young Guitos don't even go there to bang skanks anymore. "fucking skanks". also they put up some lame signs by the front door about there being a dress code.

i'm 27 years old and the bartender carded me so fucking hard i had to tell her my address. this same bartender we used to socialize and watch Sunday football with. i have literally been coming to this bar since i moved to forest park 4 years ago. it took me this long to realize my time and money is better spend at any other place on Madison.

one visit to Slainte, there was literally a poop on the floor of the men's room. This place is literally shitty.

Just moved here! Had an AMAZING time! The staff was fun and very entertaining. Katie made our drinking experience very special! Would come here again for sure!
