Madigan's sur Besancon

Excellent service. Thank you to Eloise and her colleague for the warm welcome. Top-notch professionalism.

Perfect bar for watching football matches. Good selection of beers and very friendly staff.

Unfortunately, the Caesar salad, like all the fast food, was of poor quality. The toilet was a disaster. I think a hygiene service should come and clean it. The outdoor terrace is pleasant. It wouldn't take much to improve things, but as it is now, it remains a tourist trap for a one-time visit.

A really good experience - a restaurant with very good staff and good fish & chips, good beer and fine Irish coffee 🤗

Absolutely fantastic, thank you to the waiter Robin and also Guillaume for their exceptional and genuinely exciting service.

A quality "canteen" for lunch and a pleasant atmosphere in the evening. The terrace on Place du 8 Septembre is a big plus when the weather's nice. Extensive selection of hoppy drinks to enjoy while watching a biathlon race or a rugby match. In short, highly recommended, and it's kid-friendly too.

The waitress is hot (I think her name is Masha 😏)

Wow! The only place to have a drink in Besançon on January 1st! Thank you so much... I haven't forgotten you...

A place with a cool and friendly atmosphere, even comforting in winter, especially since it's open on Sundays (a rarity in B.). There are enough seats that even a single person can find one. A wide selection of drinks at still reasonable prices. Some are served in particularly pretty glasses or cups... The only downside is the restrooms: accessible in the basement by a steep and narrow staircase whose walls bear suspicious marks and cobwebs. Leaning on them is out of the question... For Halloween it might be acceptable, but otherwise... Once downstairs, you have to contort yourself to get into one of the cramped cubicles AND close the door (it's best to be as slim as possible). Overweight people, or those with arthritis, should turn back or better yet, not even go down, as the climb back up is almost as difficult as the descent (in fact, passing other people is impossible). Lanyards would be useful for hauling oneself up step by step... For this reason, I would avoid going back, as visiting the restrooms is one of the main reasons that motivates and justifies going to a bar or other appropriate establishment and having a drink there.
