Madison-based lifestyle brand Intellectual Ratchet (IR) will host “A Holiday Brunch” at The Tip Top Tavern on Saturday, Dec. 12, 9 a.m.-noon. What better way for IR to thank its family of supporters for “embracing the contradiction” than breaking bread together over a festive holiday meal?

Intellectual Ratchet is a lifestyle group with a mission to connect young, urban, professionals who seek an alternative to Madison’s typical nightlife experience. Intellectual Ratchet aims to build authentic connections with its supporters as well as partner with Madison-based businesses. The recently expanded Tip Top Tavern, with its soft antique chandelier lighting and textured tray ceilings, offers an ambiance that promotes intimate conversations and fellowship among its patrons.

Tickets are currently available by clicking here. A brunch entree and cocktail is included with purchase. There will also be a special surprise gift for “A Holiday Brunch” attendees from internationally-acclaimed artist and University of Wisconsin-Madison Professor Faisal Abdu’Allah as a thank you for being a part of the IR family. Abdu’Allah is an Afro-British artist, whose work prioritizes a critical examination of race and identity through the lens of multiculturalism. One lucky guest will receive two of Abdu’Allah’s pieces.
