Excellent place to unwind, have a drink before shopping - or anytime. There is a daily happy hour with $3 pulls. Youre overlooking Festival Foods, so this isnt a place that you seek out for the views. But its comfortable, the restrooms are modern and clean, and the tables are spread out. Theres a small pub bar in one corner. The wifi is fast and free. Theres no purchase required to sit in the Mezz. Every supermarket should have one of these. Great idea.

Beautiful store. Brought my grand daughter for the Easter event. They did a great job with treat stations surrounding the perimeter of the store. Pictures with the easter bunny were also available.Parking structure was a huge bonus and easily accessed the store. I recommend you check it out!

I love the Mezz. I’ve never gotten alcohol up there, but my husband, kids and I have eaten dinner both inside and on the outside seated area (just for something fun to do with the kids and a change of scenery), and we were pleased with both. There are plates, cups, silverware and condiments available to use for free, and even some games to play and a microwave and sink. We usually just buy some frozen dinners or snacks from the store and then go upstairs to eat. Kids love it :-)

Great happy hour BOGO 3-6 p.m. Monday through Friday. We really like coming here before grocery shopping for a quick drink. Andrew the bartender is super fun and helpful. If you feel like socializing and sitting at the bar, there are plenty of interesting people to talk to. Additionally, they have a huge porch, TVs to watch, outlets and if you want to people watch, (like we do) while people grocery shop, you can. You have a view of the entire grocery store.

Its always a great time at the Mezz! Andrew is a classy guy and takes care of his customers like no other bartender in town. $3 taps and wine 3PM to 7PM daily. Good wifi and TVs, too. Need I say more?Although the deli downstairs has good food, I wish theyd add a basic hot food menu at the bar. Theres something I dont like about heating up deli items in plastic containers. Nonetheless, I will always be one of many returning regulars at this place

One of Madisons best kept secrets! Great Happy Hour (M - F, 3 - 7, $3 taps/wine/rail) and Friday Trivia. Who knew a grocery store could be the source of so much fun??!!!

I love the Mezz! You can buy food from the grocery store and bring it upstairs to eat. There’s a microwave, utensils, etc. Lots of great beers and wine available. Good place to watch a game, study, or eat. I often take my young children here for a meal out. Board games available along with shuffleboard.

Nice little space if you want a quick beer, cocktail or coffee while waiting for someone and you are not in the shopping mood but somehow got dragged along for the ride. This makes it okay. Friendly staff and easy on the pocket book. The only reason I give it a 3 star is I dont really recommend going to a bar in a grocery store. Theres a lot of other actual bars all over the neighborhood, that you can feel very comfortable getting in a few more drinkk.With out the threat of maybe security coming or a soccer mom walking by with the little ones and you just decided to curse out the government or a new bill that went to law. ..

Awesome happy hour beer prices and good tap rotations. Good place to bring a board game and hangout with friends.

It was crazy busy and the bartenders were not prepared. They attached handwritten signs to the bar instructing patrons to order from those areas of the bar. The signs could not be viewed until you were up to the bar. Advertised beers were not available because the bartenders did not have the time to change barrels.

Nice little place in the grocery stores second floor loft, with snack/charcuterie boards and good microbrew craft taps, and cocktails. Best part... If they are missing a mixer for a cocktail you request, just ask them if they can get it from downstairs in the grocery store!
