The Octopi Taproom has been a gathering space to the community of Waunakee for 10+ years.  From humble beginnings we have blossomed into a full-service restaurant that seats up to 100 people indoors.  With the main focus on serving beers that we brew on site as well as consistently great food, you can feel the sense of pride right when you walk through the doors.  From Asahi Super Dry now brewed right here in Waunakee to unique IPAs, fruited sours, Belgians, Pilsners, sweet stouts, and seltzers there is something for everyone to enjoy!

On any given day you will find Octopi’s own staff & brewers, local families, business people and community representatives feeling welcome and enjoying our inviting atmosphere.  With our at the counter-style ordering you can be as leisurely as you care to be, without sacrificing incredibly fast service.  You’ll have your drink in-hand by the time you are done ordering.

Throughout the year we host a range of private parties, events, and social functions ranging from baby showers, wedding receptions to corporate outings.

Our outdoor space can easily seat up to 200+ people during the warmer months, and from May – September we feature Live Music 3 days a week on our vibrant patio that makes for an unforgettable experience.  Don’t worry! There is plenty of yard space for the kids to run around while the adults kick back and relax!

Our ever popular To-Go cooler is always fully stocked with Octopi & Asahi Beer as well as some of the Madison area’s most popular, unique breweries to celebrate true craft beverages.
