Brickhouse BBQ will be opening on Gorham Street. Scheduled to Open mid-2009, this restaurant will feature a full menu featuring different types of meats, barbeques, and side dishes.

The Wisconsin State Journal reports today that Erin’s Snug Irish Pub has given up their liquor license.  As this is an Irish Pub, this seems to insinuate that Erin’s is no longer planning on being in business.
We haven’t heard that Erin’s was closing - Anyone out there have any info on this?  If so, add [...]

The Angelic Brewing Company (which hasn’t been a brewery for years) closed their doors abruptly last week. No word on a replacement establishment as of yet!

As previously reported, Angelo’s in McFarland has closed.  The good news is that the restaurant will not stay empty for long.  Picasso’s [...]

Angelo’s, on Farwell in McFarland, shut their doors recently.  At first, this was somewhat disappointing, because Angelo’s was one of the few, albeit not very bright, rays of hope in the dining wasteland which is McFarland.  Having dined at Angelo’s on a semi-regular basis, we knew that it was on the ropes, as the menu kept becoming [...]
