Nattspil
Natt Spil (also written Nattspil) is a late-night restaurant and bar at 211 King St., downtown, called "Madison's favorite Chinese Norwegian pizza disco" by The Capital Times. It is a late-night stop for three cup chicken and thin-crust pizzas[1].
History
By a 2018 brunch feature the cash-only bar had been open 14 years — so from about 2004 — next to the downtown Great Dane. It was co-owned by general manager Matthew Stebbins, chef David Oliver and the brothers Prentice and Christopher Berge. Even the name has more than one spelling: the Facebook page says "Nattspil" and the LLC is Natt Spiel, Inc., which the owners thought fit the place[2]. In 2018 Stebbins and Allysa Sweeney bought the Brothers Three bar[3].
In August 2020 Natt Spil expanded into space on the east side of its building. The formerly cash-only restaurant began taking credit cards and orders online and by phone, and stayed open until 11 p.m. every day[1]. During the pandemic it tried an online soup-and-sandwich brand for two months[4]; its co-owner then was Prentice Berge[4].
Trivia
- The artist Stefan Matioc drew the doodles on Natt Spil's pizza boxes before his murals went up around Madison[5].
