🍺 Did you know UW–Madison’s Der Rathskeller space was a major inspiration for Draft & Vessel?

Located in the Wisconsin Union at our owner Nat’s alma mater, the Rathskeller is a German b**r hall style space, and it’s carved tables, handpainted murals, and cozy atmosphere helped inspire what we now know and love in each Draft & Vessel.

Swipe to the end to see a shot of folks carving the original Draft & Vessel bar in Nat’s backyard during the Draft & Vessel Kickstarter event, six months before the bar opened.
