A staple of the Madison campus party scene is in threat of being knocked out for the count. The University of Wisconsin System wants to condemn Brothers Bar & Grill as part of a plan to build a $43 million music performance hall. If you thought you could kick this old dog and get away with it think again (University of Wisconsin System). The owners of Brothers Bar & Grill replied to the University of Wisconsin System’s plans on Tuesday by suing the UW System Board of Regents, seeking to stop the condemnation and keep the bar they’ve operated (for 15 years) alive and kicking.
Brothers Bar & Grill claim the regents are “prematurely exercising their eminent domain powers because they have not established the public purpose for the move. Their lawsuit says plans for the music building are incomplete and likely years away.
UW System spokesman David Giroux said the building is part of a long-term UW-Madison campus plan and was authorized by lawmakers in 2007. He noted the bar accepted the university’s $2.1 million offer for the property before filing suit.”
What the future holds for Brothers Bar & Grill, we’ll just have to wait and see…
