Battle brewing over outdoor seating at east side Malt House
When plans were unveiled in 2004, the $100 million Union Corners project was supposed to revitalize Madison's east side with some 450 housing units, a full-service grocery, a pharmacy, a hardware store and a restaurant.But five years later, the 15-acre site at the corner of East Washington Avenue and Milwaukee Street is marked mainly by broken concrete and piles of gravel. It has been one of the most visible victims of the economic downturn in Madison. In fact, the only redevelopment that's actually taken place was the creation of the Malt House at 2609 E. Washington Ave., the former Union House Tavern which has been transformed into a craft beer connoisseur's paradise.

Been here a couple of times - Great place. They are right, that it is low key, and putting chairs and such outside would be cool as well, but they are also right that the parking lot is a mess. Coming from someone who has to drive to get to this location, it would be nice if the parking lot was fixed. They way you have to get there when driving East is a mess too, you have to take a left off 151, then a weird U-turn to get back to the Malt House.
