History Maker Space

From Our Founders to Modern Madison: Rich History Awaits 
Discover the rich history and untold stories of Wisconsin’s capital city as you journey through the streets of downtown Madison. Explore the historic Capitol Square and visit the former site of the American House, a modest hotel where state officials stayed during Madison’s earliest legislative sessions. Stop by the Argus Bar, a modern establishment housed in one of Madison’s oldest surviving commercial buildings—a building that was once home to the Argus newspaper. 
Throughout the tour, your guide will discuss the various ways that generations of residents have viewed and shaped the landscape, revealing the many layers of our capital’s past—from its earliest inhabitants to its emergence and establishment as a thriving, modern city. 
This beloved annual walking tour runs from spring through early fall, with scheduled dates on select Thursdays and Saturdays. Reserve your spot today.

We couldn’t be more excited to host our friends from Sardine for day two of our Oyster Stout weekend party.
We collaborated on brewing an Oyster Stout. Sardine provided the oysters, we worked together on a recipe, and then we all got together and brewed a great beer.
But we’re not just tapping a delicious beer. Sardine is also popping up and shucking oysters right here at WDBC 🦪
We’ll be giving away some merch from WDBC and Sardine (that’s right, Sardine has merch now!).
And a bonus (if you needed one): If you attend both Friday and Saturday events, you get two free oysters here at WDBC on Saturday.
Like I said, we couldn’t be more excited. See you Saturday 8/15 here at Working Draft. And hopefully Friday 8/14 at Sardine as well :)<a href="https://eventvesta.com/events/156507/t/tickets" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">View Tickets &amp; More Info</a>
