Brewery Profile

Lucky's 1313 Brewpub

In a city with a well-established craft beer circuit, a visitor to this Regent Street brewpub finds a large, repurposed commercial space rather than a small barroom. The 11,000 square foot building at 1313 Regent Street carries visible traces of its past as the Badger Bus Depot and, later, Foreign Car Specialists. Inside, the room is defined by soaring raw wood ceilings, restored original skylights, exposed brick, metal beams, and huge overhead doors that open toward Regent Street. The result is a brewpub setting where the architecture is part of the visit: open, sturdy, and tied to Madison’s older commercial fabric.

Travelers drinking beer in Wisconsin often look for places that combine regional brewing culture with a full meal, especially in cities where brewpubs function as casual gathering spots as much as tasting rooms. Lucky’s 1313 Brewpub fits that pattern by pairing its brewery identity with a broad kitchen menu. Since specific beer styles and current pours are not listed in the available details, the taproom is the place to confirm what is being served that day. The setting also suits visitors who prefer a larger, food-focused stop over a quick tasting flight, with enough space and visual character to make the building itself part of the experience.

For practical planning, expect a full kitchen rather than a limited snack menu. The food program is described as extensive, with signature burgers, sandwiches, entrees, pizzas, flatbreads, and progressive salads. Ingredients are sourced for freshness, and the kitchen can accommodate some dietary requests, including gluten-free buns. Beer selections, hours, reservations, and any event schedule should be checked directly with the brewpub before visiting, since those details are not fixed in the information provided. For visitors mapping out a Madison beer itinerary, this is best understood as a large brewpub stop with a full meal option, historic commercial architecture, and daily beer choices to verify on site.

The 11,000 square foot facility housing Lucky's 1313 Brewpub at 1313 Regent Street reflects a segment of Madison's commercial history, having previously served as the Badger Bus Depot and later Foreign Car Specialists.
