Near West Side

A neighborhood in Madison

The Near West Side's live-music presence centers on one address: The Red Zone Madison at 1212 Regent St, steps from Camp Randall and the UW-Madison campus. The building doubles as a sports bar and a dedicated concert room. A separate but connected entertainment venue contains its own stage with a full sound system and lights, as well as a full-service bar. That room goes by The Annex. Built on the site of the former Annex, the Red Zone aims to honor Madison's live-music tradition and is open to hosting all genres, from music and comedy to DJ nights. The room's compact footprint, low stage, and club-caliber sound keep concerts feeling up close. The room draws students, alumni, and locals for late-night sets and pregame celebrations. For a neighborhood otherwise defined by residential streets and the Monroe Street retail corridor, The Red Zone/Annex is the single, reliable spot for live music on the Near West Side.
