We recently rounded up some places and activities around Madison that are good for people who prefer to spend time alone, because nothing beats scoring a prime seat at a busy bar to people-watch the night away.

We asked our readers and Instagram followers to fill us in on their favorite people-watching spots around town:

"Plain Spoke! [The] bar above Young Blood." Snagging a window seat at this bar on a Friday night offers an entertaining birds-eye view of King Street.

"Concerts on the Square (fun to see what food they bring and their setup)."

"Garver is one of my faves for people-watching." Pro tip: Escape to the second-floor balcony on busy nights.

"Any brewery will do."

"Morning: Wonderstate; Evening: Heritage Tavern; Summer: Union Terrace."

"Collectivo coffee shops or Lakeshore Path." Getting your caffeine, steps, and eavesdropping in? Efficiency at its finest."
