“Love this place! Great atmosphere, nice people, excellent live music!“

“This place is more of a ode to the Korean war heroes and a museum than it is a bar. However, it has the feel of both. Not sure what's going to happen to the place as the owner has aged with the Rolex that surround the bar. But it is an experience that if you have time, you should definitely consider having. Time is limited, but then it always is.“

It has the usual selection of beers and liquors along with a smatterings of new offering by local distributors. We have always been treated well here even though we are not "regulars". Great spot to grab a cocktail!“

“Fun place. I haven't been in "Bad Brads" for many years. It's a fun atmosphere. The music is a variety of rock and roll and new generation genre. The only problem I had was I couldn't purchase the remote control from Becky.Becky was tonight's hostess, and server. She made the right decision with the remote however. If I would have gained control of the volume then it could've become too loud. Lol. Becky is an energetic server and a gracious, friendly person. I'd recommend anyone looking for a fun evening to visit Bad Brads and Becky.“

“I stopped in here on a late Monday evening. My first time in Janesville and it was for work, flight was late, nothing was open. SO happy I did! It’s a fun spot, very chill inside. I didn’t get to see the rooftop, which was a bummer (guess I have to go back!). Bartender was amazing, she cooked and served. Gave an excellent recommendation - their Buffalo chicken wrap and tots. It was heaven! They had a pool table, a dart board, and slots ? Hoghly recommend!“

“great burgers. The fried portobella mushrooms were really good. very reasonable prices, and excellent service. Highly recommend. Rate it at 4.9“

“We had the honey fig goat cheese and the field salad for starters then the sea bass and scallops with roasted asparagus as our main course. It was absolutely delicious!! The honey fig goat cheese was so decadent it would have been a great dessert. The salad was extremely fresh and light so amazing. Then there is the sea bass... Just wow! Perfectly seared and seasoned.. The best I've had in years and better than anywhere in this area!! Now for what brought it all together.. The service.. James was impeccable in his service.. We didn't have a single want that wasn't fulfilled before we knew we needed it. We have been to Wissota on several occasions and this is the first time we had great service and felt the visit was worth going back!! Thank you James for making our date night so special!! In all the times we have been to Wissota this is the first time we had a good review to leave.. we only returned the other 2 times for the carrot cake. However, whoever is now running the kitchen and staff should be proud. The chefs skills and James service was top notch! Thank you again James you made Wissota our new fav!“
