Hannah - I understand the economy is in a recession; however, if you have "lots of time to read and blog" I hope for your employers sake you are not on the time clock as I'm sure they could find a more productive employee during this time that Rock County has the highest unemployment rate in the state of Wisconsin.

Well, I will say I have gone to that bar a couple times. Most of the crowd that hangs there are looking for a fight and there are many drug dealers and many gang members. Yes, it's the new Spanky's for sure. A friend of mine is quite upset with me because I won't go there. She accused me of being racist. It has nothing to do with skin color, it has to do with the fighting. Apparently "the bottles fly" there often. I am sure it will be shut down sooner or later. The owner better save his money, because being excited about having a bar that attracks trouble is a disaster waiting to happen!

Too bad we can't get our legislators to take advantage of this and raise that beer tax ... I heard it would cost somebody who consumes six beers daily just $1 a week. The money is badly needed to pay for treatment options.

Spongebob...Boom.

gazettefan... I second.

By the way, It's spelled "libel"

You did Yogi Berra proud. *lol*
Gotta love it.

Hannah last week I thought you worked for a car dealer, now I have to wonder if you work at a bar. Actually I have to wonder if you work at all since it seems your on here all day everyday. SpongeBob I loved your last comment, how true it is! Thats not just funny thats LMAO funny!!

Hey I want in, SLOW DOWN!!!

hannah is very knowledgeable about Janesville.

Hannah....sounds like you know everything about the bars in this town. And about everything else.

hannah - your comments are much more tolerable when they simply read:

(This comment was removed by the site staff.)

...now please, just go away.

All bars downtown are crowded at different times. And I love how people are freaking out about people standing/waiting outside creating a scene~ what do you think every bar in town is going to look like when the smoking ban is set in stone?
And is it just me, or does this hannah seem to know everything about everything in this town? I swear she's always complaining..
Ohyah, Have a nice day. :)

Sorry snazzy I don't mean you are. I mean maybe you are.. I was not trying to "LIBAL"

But then again Snazzy you are one of those typical Americans that think everything else makes their children bad, and its not thier own parenting skills that are sub par. Its the video games that do it. Not the fact I don't take my kid out and play ball with them. Its the fact that he hung out with jonny that got him on drugs. Not the fact that you fail to have your child come home at a reasonable time so they don't have the time to get introuble. Everyone is just turning to the gov. to make the choices for themselfs of what is right and wrong. and before you know it we wont have any chance to make your own choice.

Oh and Snazzy your right THC makes you WAY lazy. Thats why Michael Phelps does it and he is real lazy....I mean he is only the best athlete ever.
I think that the kids that are lazy are only following in their parents footsteps. I mean look in the mirror before you start to become the pot thats calling the kettle black.

Snazzy before you get all mad and start calling people names. Why don't you take a minute and get high so you can calm down enough to read what I said.. Ididn't say ANYTHING about smoking anything. I said use THC. IF you can go to google I am sure you can figure out that their is more then one way to use THC. Its called eating it. Or then there are vaporizors too that don't use smoke... But then again I forgot you drunks know it all. Thats why how many of you die each day from drinking to much? ANd how many of us pot heads die from using to much THC???

I really only see a police-created problem. Our right to assemble is increasingly under attack.

CITY OF JANESVILLE

How many people died from Alcohol poisoning/overdose this year alone?

How many people have died from THC overdose in the past 100years...

The Craig school district teachers, tell you THC is illegal because it harms you. Yet where are the deaths? On the other hand of drinking, I bet everyone that is reading this story can think of someoone that past away from drinking to much one night...

So what do EVERYONE of you do...GO RIGHT BACK TO THE BAR where your dad or brother drank him self to death, or maybe the bar right next door to it now.

Don't you love this world?

Have nice day :)

yeah, I know the woman who runs this place...witches and d&d is not my style...she and her kid have snakes in their apt. and she creeps me out. oh well, I won't be patronizing her business...let them stand in a line outside. Doesn't affect me in the least...and keeps the freaks out of my way at the bars where I enjoy "tossing back a few". Bonus!

So this is why the city of Janesville wisconsin wants to start surving alchohol at the Kids ice areana. To releave the stress from all the drinking that is going on down town! Well I know we can say one thing good about GM laying all of you off. It sure did boost the economy of Drinking/Bars.. Keep up the good work Janesville. Cause if it wasn't for you we wouldn't be where we are today... :)

Ah, it's so crowded, nobody goes there anymore.
.
hannah, you have to understand when you accuse someone of a crime, that can be libel. Down the page it says "Do not libel anyone."
.
gwendt, yes, that is a concept frequently known as "downtown". The council has been reluctant to allow new liquor licenses in this area, though.

I can't say i'm surprised. The last time i was in that bar, it was beyond packed. It took over 10 minutes to get a beer.

Also, the place is slowly starting to become the new Spanky's.

Just the type of people that hang there

I'm curious as i dont frequent the bars...
westside, whats scary about it?

Yes Corvinas is on Parker next to Wiggys but there on the corner. In the area is
Wiggy
Corvinas
Time Out
Looking Glass
Legends
Quotes
Main Street
and another one not sure of its name?
plus a few restauraunts than if you cross the bridge you have a few.
Hannah Looking Glass that you refrered to is not like that anymore. All bars on Friday Sat night have crowding issues and they do keep count. And when it comes to problems at bars it just gets passed from one bar to another there will always be problems so why are we commenting on this.

isn't this bar near Wiggy's? holy cow - must be 6-7 bars in a 2 block area? 5? maybe Janesville should be named Alcohol Junction, (joking)

OOPS I should ammend my comment to knowing the woman who owns the name 'Corvina' and runs it~~not the couple who own the physical location (which by a weird twist of fate, I know also1)

Looking Glass is less crowded now and has been great since adding the beer garden outside. Plus looking glass has several exits (front, back, and through the kitche). the time I was in corvinas I only saw one.

Knowing what I do about the woman who owns it~~I won't go near the place!!

Corvinas has a scarey crowd. i will not step foot in there. quotes has a lot better crowd now since corvinas opened IMO. and dancing isnt allowed at LG anymore- hasnt been for a while

As the owner is a woman, but the man is still involved in all processes of this business (LLC). They rent from the landlord which is true, but it is ran primarily by the man and woman.

I don't think the Looking Glass has had an over crowding problem in a while. There are also signs now saying that dancing on the bar is not allowed.

I stand corrected, it was 4 women that opened Karma's.

http://www.gazettextra.com/news/2007/oct...

Yes, it was Kharma's...I couldn't remember the name. Not sure if it was 4 or 2 people involved, but I'm pretty sure that it was only 2.

Wasn't it 4 women friends? Seemed to remember a Gazette article on them when they were renovating it. Kharma-something or whatever. Can't remember the exact name.

spikesmom, yes - it was recently owned by two freinds from GM. They lost the bar in a dispute with the landlord, although I don't know exactly what the dispute was about.

Yes its the old London Pub.

The old London Pub?

Wasn't this bar just recently owned by a couple of friends that had worked at GM? What happened to them?

Why are so many people drawn to this bar? I'm not being negative just wondering... Glad to see local business doing well. Also glad to see that particular location doing well.

It's on the corner of Parker Drive and Milwaukee Street a block up from Timeout.

I know the owner and he just bought and "recreated" the seen for their patrons. He is very excited about its popularity, but he also has concerns about the crowding and is working hard with city officials and the police department to try and solve it. It is a great club and I hope everybody experiences that.

A google search "streetveiw" shows the spot where Time Out is. Did they change their name?

Never heard of this place. A little free advertising will keep people away. I wonder what the big draw is?

Where is this bar?
