I had the pleasure to chat all things tailgate on City Cast Madison this week ahead of Saturday's big Wisconsin Badgers game against Alabama Football.
We'll be opening Fabiola's Spaghetti House & Deli 's Fabulous Football Tailgate bar up at 6:30am!! Food starts at 7:30am (including breakfast sandwiches) & I'll kick the music videos off at 10am (no amplified music is allowed before then). We'll have the game on at 11am and I'll be dj'ng at halftime & post game (or earlier if it's the blowout we all expect it to be).

It should be a beautiful day to stop down and party with us!
Go Badgers!

It’s football season, which means on select Saturdays (and a couple Fridays) during the fall and winter, seas of red-and...

It's going to be perfect football weather on Saturday! We'll be kicking things off at 11:30am. Outdoor grill & bar...and of course I'll be playing music videos until the 2:30pm kickoff & then at halftime & postgame til 8pm.
We're the only tailgate that plays Serge Gainsbourg as well as Eurotrash favorites, as the entire Fabiola's Spaghetti House & Deli staff are big fans. And those videos are best enjoyed in our unique tailgate environment.
Stop down on Saturday! It was great to see so many friends roll through last week.

🎉 It’s that time of year... the Fabiola’s Football Tailgate is BACK! 🏈 Get ready for another thrilling season of Badger football with the tradition that’s been alive since 1998, thanks to Rocky Rococo founder Roger Brown. While Rocky’s may no longer be here, the spirit of tailgating on Regent Street is alive and well at Fabiola’s & Leopold’s!

Join us on home game days as we keep the legacy alive with 20 craft beers on draft, refreshing cocktails, and award-winning brats and sausages. This Friday, the tailgate kicks off at 4 PM in our parking lot. And with DJ Nick Nice spinning tunes all day, it’s the perfect way to fuel up before the big game.

Plus, Fabiola’s will be open inside for our usual dinner service, and Leopold's Books Bar Caffè will be open till 4 PM. Whether you’re a long-time fan or new to the tradition, Fabiola’s promises serious food and drink for the serious tailgater. Seriously. 🎶🍻

Hopeful this 'corn sweat' will be done with by Friday because it's the first Fabiola's Spaghetti House & Deli football tailgate!
We'll be up and running by 4pm for the 8pm kickoff (which is the latest it's ever been since I've been doing the tailagtes).
I'll be playing music videos and of course lot's of the Leopold's Books Bar Caffè Eurotrash Night fan favorites.
Stop down on Friday!

WHAT'S ON THE MENU? Get ready for another exciting season of Badger football with the tradition of tailgating at Fabiola’s Spaghetti House & Deli! Building on the legacy started by Rocky Rococo founder Roger Brown in 1998, our tailgate continues to be the go-to spot for pre-game festivities on Reg...

Stop down to visit during the off season and you won’t be disappointed!

Fabiola’s Spaghetti House and Deli is an ode to Josie's and the other Italian restaurants that used to populate Madison’s Greenbush neighborhood.

While the Badgers have been bringing up hazy memories of the Don Morton era, we've been enjoying a truly fantastic year of tailgating. Win or lose we always have a good party and the forecast looks fantastic for Saturday for the last home game of the year, so it'll be a perfect day to have fun with us!
The Nebraska game is always a great atmosphere no matter how good or bad the teams are doing. 🌽 🍻

Fabiola's Football Tailgate opens up at 1pm. Full bar, inside grill & music videos by dj Nick Nice up until 6:30 kickoff.

We're already excited for next year's home schedule (Alabama on Sep 14th!) but in the meantime...Go Badgers!
