Fyfe's Corner Bistro at 1344 E. Washington Avenue is
celebrating its tenth anniversary in November with four nights of music, topped
with a benefit in concert with WORT on Sunday, November 9 featuring Madison's
Jazz Divas. Jazz "Dudes" and "Duos" will also appear during
the anniversary week, so watch (or listen) for more information as the schedule
is filled in.
Fyfe's is our friendly neighborhood bistro on the corner of
Dickinson and East Washington, only two blocks from the bike path and
convenient to the entire Tenney-Lapham neighborhood. Their dining features
certified Angus beef, fresh seafood, and pasta, and the bar menu offers an
extensive list of cocktails, mixed drinks, and specialties.
The attractive bar area has windows on three sides and a sociable
round bar conducive to talk and conviviality. Groups may rent the upstairs
private banquet facility, which seats up to 120 for dining and has its own bar,
small stage, and kitchen. CD release parties, weddings, and political events
are often held in this airy and pleasant space, which like the bar is lined
with large windows.
Fyfe's spacious cream brick building is a Madison landmark
dating before the turn of the last century. The building has seen many uses but
is perfectly suited to hospitality. Convenient by foot or bike, it also has a
generous parking area and guests may enter at the front or back of the building
as convenient. Visitors who use wheelchairs have a ramp to the back entrance,
and may reach the second floor via an open elevator.
A variety of daily specials is available, and Thursday,
Friday and Saturday usually feature live music with no cover charge from 7-10
pm. In addition, art and photography is on rotating display. If you haven't
visited Fyfe's Corner Bistro you're missing one of Tenney-Lapham's most unique
and pleasing establishments.
Reservations are accepted at 251-8700.
