One thing that many people like to do when they travel is find restaurants and bars with rooftop seating. These kinds of places often have great views of the city, plus the crisp and refreshing air of the night sky. It’s hard to resist, especially since it’s only 3 blocks from YAPC.

Johnny O’s Sports Lounge is one such place in Madison, and they also have the distinction of being the closest restaurant/pub to YAPC to offer rooftop seating. An interesting feature of Johnny O’s is that they also offer basketball on the rooftop, as well as the a band on some nights.
