Madison News: Brothers Bar totally suing UW-Madison
WQOW.com tells us the ugly story of a Madison turf war betwixt the University of Wisconsin at Madison and a lil’ watering hole known as Brothers. They say ...
- Brothers Bar and Grill has been on the corner of University Ave. and Lake St. since 1967. 2 years ago, the University voted to use its powers of eminent domain to condemn the bar to make way for an expansion of the School of Music.
- Brothers owner Marc Fortney says the use of eminent domain is unfair. He says he doesn't want to move and doesn't care that the University has offered $2.1 million.
Eminent domain’s a bee-otch, brah. On their website, Brothers says they "paid $2 million for the building three years ago, so the UW-offered price is whack, dude." [or something along those lines]
