A Janesville couple plan to open a new tavern, microbrewery, and restaurant downton.
Industry Gastropub will be located in two buildings at 22-24 S. River St. at the corner of River and Dodge streets just west of the Rock River.
The properties are across South River Street from the vacant lot where the former Plaza Furniture store once stood.
Owners Travis and Jennifer O'Connell say the bar will have an industrial-modern look, relaxed and casual atmosphere, and it would separate dining areas for families and a restaurant and lunch diner side that would prepare local, fresh food ingredients out of an open-air kitchen.
The property would house a small-batch microbrewery in the back and would serve house-brewed beers along with local and domestic beers on tap.
