In the late afternoon, happy hour prices draw a healthy TGIF crowd that loves cheap pints ($4.80) and bar shots (from $4.60). But the real appeal of the Maddy—a labyrinthine Victorian mansion—becomes clear come sundown: if you’re looking to score, you’re in good company, especially Thursday to Saturday nights, when frisky university students descend. But as meat markets go, it’s a handsome one: etched glass windows, worn red velvet booths, framed portraits of equestrian heroes, and 20 types of beer on tap, served by wisecracking staff. Pool tables and dartboards abound—all the better to entertain the endless stream of frat boys.
