Babes Grill & Bar will reopen this month as Babes at Vitense, following its November 2019 closure after 30 years of business, according to Madison Magazine. The business at 5614 Schroeder Road may have been Madison’s first sports bar upon its opening in 1988.
Babes closed to make room on the site for a large, mixed-use project. It was initially planned to reopen one year later in a smaller space within the new development but faced delays due to the COVID-19 pandemic. It will now reopen at Vitense Golfland.
The menu will include some food offerings from the original Babes establishment. Babes at Vitense will occupy the rear space of the main building on the property and include a bar, booths and tables, an outdoor patio, a number of TVs, and more.
