Russ's Park Place - Janesville - Cheap beer and wings, Harley parking, Wisconsin-esque tavern
This entry was posted on 3/30/2010 2:12 AM and is filed under Taverns Wisconsin, Cheap beer, Sunday football eats.
Russ' s Park Place has the dubious distinction of being one of a handful of establishments that has made it into a couple of Cool Dadio postings. A couple years ago they made my "Friday Night Fish Fry" Category.
But today we talk beer and wings. Around 7:00 p.m. on Monday nights you can get yourself a 16 ounce class of beer for a Buck. To top off the Monday experience they serve up a basket of wings for a Buck as well. Add some change in for your dressing dip. Of course I opt for my Miller Lite, being cognizant of my girlie figure and all.
I like the little thoughtful nuance of being able to park motorcycles right up by the front door.
As I mentioned in my fish fry critique, one of my favorite things to do is stop in on Sunday mornings from 10:00 a.m. to noon. They offer a basket of fried fish and wings. It is a nice treat before sports time. Another neat feature to add to the timbre of the bar is an upstairs with seating and a balcony to sit around and look down on the big screens and bar area.
Russ's Park Place is cool with Cool Dadio. Find them at 1637 East Racine Street on Janesville's near east side. If you are not familiar with the place, they are right to the south of Graig High School. Phone: (608) 754 - 5600 for more information.
