मधुशाला में एक सौ पैंतीस रूबाइयाँ (यानी चार पंक्तियों वाली कविताएँ) हैं।
मधुशाला की हर रूबाई मधुशाला शब्द से समाप्त होती है। हरिवंश राय बच्चन ने मधु, मदिरा, हाला (शराब), साकी (शराब पड़ोसने वाली), प्याला (कप या ग्लास), मधुशाला और मदिरालय की मदद से जीवन की जटिलताओं के विश्लेषण का प्रयास किया है। मधुशाला जब पहली बार 1935 में प्रकाशित हुई तो शराब की प्रशंसा के लिए कई लोगों ने उनकी आलोचना की। लेकिन गांधी जी ने इसकी प्रशंसा की।
बाद के दिनों में मधुशाला इतनी मशहूर हो गई कि जगह-जगह इसे नृत्य-नाटिका के रूप में प्रस्तुत किया। मधुशाला की चुनिंदा रूबाइयों को मन्ना डे ने एल्बम के रूप में प्रस्तुत किया। इस एल्बम की पहली कविता स्वयं बच्चन ने गाई। हरिवंश राय बच्चन के पुत्र अमिताभ बच्चन ने न्यू यॉर्क के लिंकन सेंटर सहित कई जगहों पर मधुशाला की रूबाइयों का पाठ किया।

There are 135 rubaiyat (i.e., four-line verses) in Madhushala.

Each rubai in Madhushala ends with the word Madhushala (The Tavern).

Harivansh Rai Bachchan has tried to analyze the complexities of life using metaphors like madhu (nectar), madira/hala (alcohol), saaki (the one who serves wine), pyaala (cup or glass), madhushala, and madiralaya (bar or tavern).

When Madhushala was first published in 1935, many people criticized him for praising alcohol.

However, Mahatma Gandhi appreciated it.

In the later years, Madhushala became so popular that it was presented as a dance-drama at various places.

Selected rubaiyat of Madhushala were presented in an album by Manna Dey, with the first verse sung by Harivansh Rai Bachchan himself.

His son, Amitabh Bachchan, recited verses from Madhushala at several venues, including the Lincoln Center in New York.
