How we know, and what we might be missing

Wisconsin has no tab-licensing program, so no state feed can tell us where tabs are. Each spot above says how we know it: a veterans' post or tavern on our list, where tabs are part of the furniture; a player who added or confirmed it in the app; a pull-tab distributor that named the bar; reviews that mention its pull tabs; or the bar's own posts about them. If we're wrong about one, or missing your bar, the app is where it gets fixed.

A list is honest about its limits: a licensed spot can retire its game, and a bar this page has never heard of can start one tomorrow. If you know a Madison spot that's missing or wrong, add or fix it in the free app — that's how the map stays true.
