New brewpub coming to Regent Street

By Negassi Tesfamichael and Daily Cardinal Staff | Oct. 19, 2015

The Regent Street Brewpub, pegged for the 1300 block of Regent Street, will have a 58-person outdoor seating area, though the city’s current zoning code will not allow for alcohol in the outdoor dining area on football Saturdays. The restaurant also includes a reception hall for special events during football Saturdays, the Wisconsin Interscholastic Athletic Association high school football tournament and the Crazylegs Classic race.
