Locals let us know the best places to go people-watching in Madison

We recently

rounded up

some places and activities around Madison that are good for people who prefer to spend time alone,

because nothing beats scoring a prime seat at a busy bar to people-watch the night away

.

We asked our readers and Instagram followers to fill us in on their favorite people-watching spots around town:

  • “Plain Spoke! [The] bar above Young Blood.” Snagging a window seat at this bar on a Friday night offers an entertaining birds-eye view of King Street.

  • “Concerts on the Square (fun to see what food they bring and their setup).”

  • “Garver is one of my faves for people-watching.” Pro tip : Escape to the second-floor balcony on busy nights.

  • “Any brewery will do.”

  • “Morning: Wonderstate; Evening: Heritage Tavern; Summer: Union Terrace.”

  • “Collectivo coffee shops or Lakeshore Path.” Getting your caffeine, steps, and eavesdropping in? Efficiency at its finest .”
