FASHIONABLY EARLY HAS ITS PERKS. 🍸

An excellent cocktail. Your favorite company. Four dollars off for having impeccable timing.
We’ve extended our Happy Hour cocktail pricing at Yahara Bay, giving you another very good reason to turn “just heading home” into “meet me at the lounge.”

Enjoy $4 OFF COCKTAILS:
🍸 Thursday • 4–8 PM
🍸 Friday • 5–6 PM
🍸 Saturday • 5–6 PM
Yes, that’s four full hours on Thursday. We’ve taken certain liberties with the word “hour.”

Make it an after-work catch-up. Start date night a little earlier. Meet the friend whose “we should get together” deserves an actual date on the calendar.
Settle in, order something interesting, and give the evening a chance to become the best part of your day.
The cocktails are worth making plans for. The savings are a nice reward for actually making them.

Send this to your favorite cocktail companion: “Let’s get there early.”

MUSIC THIS GOOD. NO COVER. YES, REALLY. 🎷🍸

DANNY MARKOVITCH • NOVEMBER 7 • 7:30 PM
Some nights deserve a place on your calendar before the group chat has finished discussing the options.
This is one of them.

Saxophonist Danny Markovitch, cofounder of jazz-fusion band Marbin, is coming to Yahara Bay Distillers Cocktail Lounge. His recording credits include work with Grammy-winning drummer Antonio Sánchez—serious musical credentials for an evening right here in our lounge.
And we’re presenting this show with absolutely no cover charge.
Not because it’s an ordinary night. Because we’d love for you to experience an extraordinary one.

Bring the friend who really listens to music. Bring the date who appreciates a good discovery. Or come for yourself, order something worth sipping, and give a remarkable musician your undivided attention.

There is one thing we can’t offer in unlimited supply: seats.
Seating will be limited, so arrive early, find your spot, and settle in before the first note. This is an evening worth planning—not leaving to “we’ll see how we feel.”

🎷 Danny Markovitch • Live at Yahara Bay
📅 Saturday, November 7 • Music at 7:30 PM
🎟 NO COVER
🪑 Limited seating • Arrive early
📍 Yahara Bay Distillers Cocktail Lounge • Fitchburg

Send this to someone with excellent taste. Tell them you’ve found your next night out.
The music starts at 7:30. Your evening should start a little sooner.

Monkey Business Improv Comedy comes to Yahara Bay on Thursday, October 29 at 7 PM.

No script. No rehearsed punchlines. No particularly good way of knowing where any of this is going.

Which is exactly why you should be there.

Come early, find a comfortable spot and get a cocktail in front of you.

Then feel free to make their jobs difficult.

Sound on. Give Dylan Doyle a few seconds.
That’s your introduction. This is your invitation.

There’s hearing a musician through your phone. Then there’s being in the room—cocktail in hand, good company beside you, and a guitar giving you a very good reason to put that phone away.

Join us for a Happy Hour Rarity Session with Dylan Doyle at Yahara Bay Distillers Cocktail Lounge.
We’re giving Thursday something better than its usual assignment of waiting for Friday.

Doors open at 6 PM. Come settle in, order your cocktail, and let the workday become somebody else’s problem. Dylan takes the stage at 7 PM.

LAST WEEKEND WAS A GOOD IDEA. LET’S HAVE ANOTHER. 🎶🍸
COLD FUSION • SATURDAY, OCTOBER 3 • 7–10 PM

To everyone who joined us last weekend: you brought the lounge to life. To everyone who missed it: we’ve got your next night out.

This Saturday, Cold Fusion, led by guitarist Bruce Wasserstrom, brings its blend of jazz, fusion, and funk to Yahara Bay Distillers Cocktail Lounge. Original music, creatively reworked covers, and grooves worth giving your Saturday night to.

Bring the friend who always finds the good music. Bring the date you’d like to impress without looking like you’re trying too hard. Or come on your own and let the evening introduce itself.

The first 40 tickets purchased on Eventbrite are 25% off. Hurry to get yours!
https://www.eventbrite.com/e/2002486671540?aff=oddtdtcreator

One small piece of insider advice: arrive for the show early.
Early arrivals get first pick of the seating—including those extra-comfy lounge spots that make settling in an excellent decision.
Fashionably late has its place. That place might not be the chair you wanted.
Find your spot. Choose your cocktail. Be there for the first note.

🎶 Cold Fusion • Live Jazz Fusion & Funk
📅 Saturday, October 3 • 7:00–10:00 PM
📍 Yahara Bay Distillers Cocktail Lounge
6250 Nesbitt Road, Fitchburg

Send this to your Saturday-night person: “Let’s get there early.”

What’s happening at Yahara Bay this weekend? Something worth being in the room for.

THE BEST SEAT IN THE HOUSE ISN’T ALWAYS IN YOUR HOUSE. 🎸🍸

Sometimes it’s in a cocktail lounge, with someone you’re glad you invited, listening to music you’re glad you didn’t miss.

ADEM TESFAYE. UP CLOSE. OCTOBER 8.
Adem brings a rich, soulful voice and a sound rooted in funk, reggae, blues, and hip-hop—music with stories to tell and a groove running through it.

On Thursday, we’re inviting you to experience it in our cocktail lounge, with Adem’s voice and guitar at the center of the evening.

Never seen Adem live? Come curious.
Already a fan? Bring the friend who hasn’t.
Make it a date night. Make it a long-overdue catch-up. There doesn’t have to be an occasion. The music is the occasion.

YOU DON’T NEED A SPECIAL OCCASION. YOU NEED A GOOD NIGHT OUT. 🎸🍸

The birthday can wait. The anniversary isn’t for months. And “we really should get together” has been sitting in your messages long enough.

An award-winning Madison guitarist with a background spanning jazz, funk, and soul, Bruce has the musical résumé. You just need to bring your favorite company.

YOUR “WE SHOULD GO OUT SOMETIME” JUST GOT A DATE. 🎸

Don't miss this one!
Dylan Doyle.
October 15.
Yahara Bay Distillers.

Soul in the vocals. Fire in the guitar. Roots, rock, funk, and R&B woven into a sound that refuses to stay politely in the background. Dylan Doyle brings all of it—and we’re giving you a very good reason to leave the house on a Thursday. https://www.dylandoyleband.com/music

How good? Bill Payne of Little Feat put it this way:
“His playing was flawless and inventive.”

Bring your favorite live-music person. Spend an evening discovering why some music needs to be experienced in the room—not through somebody else’s phone.
