Clerk's office staff said the renewal list for the 2025–26 license year has received positive recommendation from the Janesville Police Department and must be approved by City Council before licenses are reissued. Committee members voted unanimously to send the renewals with a positive recommendation to council.

Staff identified three full-liquor licenses that will become available at 12:01 a.m. July 1: the Lark's full-liquor license will expire because the business closed; Sam's Pizza returned its full-liquor license upon moving to a new location and the owner indicated they will not seek a license at the new site; and Bad Brad's license was not transferred after the owner's passing, creating another available license at the start of the renewal year. Staff said there may not be a second committee meeting in June and advised applicants to plan for the July 1 application timing.

The deputy police chief reported no incidents to bring forward. The clerk's office noted one pending application (a Brazilian steakhouse) that remains under review and has not yet been issued.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","City of Janesville, WI - Alcohol License Advisory Committee - Jun 03, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","The committee recommended positive renewals for the 2025–26 license year to City Council and noted three full-liquor licenses will become available at 12:01 a.m. July 1 because of a closure, a relocation and an untransferred estate license.","taxTitle","Janesville, Rock County, Wisconsin","taxId",4654,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6533451,"Committee approves expansion of licensed premises for Jannisa Wine Bar to include Jack and Jenny's on Main Street",344,1050000,1394000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3681982-0164d97922dfde41d12649f49f43f5dc&start=1050&end=1394","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3681982-0164d97922dfde41d12649f49f43f5dc/thumbnail_1050000.jpg","/articles/6533451/Janesville/Rock-County/Wisconsin/Committee-approves-expansion-of-licensed-premises-for-Jannisa-Wine-Bar-to-include-Jack-and-Jennys-on-Main-Street","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6533451-493f28205568454e9fb8f4b98e4e7c62/orig.mp4?Expires=1775861938&Signature=gEMjxXLZmxqJOGy4mgh270SOhbk31AkYwZJSaEKTJfqMS7F~RIE2F20au3IEUCUmmv93U66bjnlHGmyKMJX6GlQUaO3XifBXTpPDIuS9lQ2iYa7EKRawup3v67uGXFWZNMu5YqgtUMNGiuKyhU9yJKQvOg4jGTSqJ68GxhH4NHvjGpdTl74r0A~lT7bUkPtoWOpaYetXhWt2MontTr~s5izxiodaIOM9UH~m6nkW~9mS6RlkDaFCAAJXCxf5FCdzjH6tKSZmuxkCBz69DTZqybN63RIE3At8~mU~HSfcYX-r99QQ9ZlgxhqBnYqtK8bVfVKODP9HFTGX1SpM0q~PqQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Alcohol Licensing Advisory Committee on June 3 approved an amendment and extension of licensed premises for Jannisa LLC, doing business as Jannisa Wine Bar, to include the adjacent property at 15 North Main Street that will operate as Jack and Jenny's.

Joshua Pickering, representing Jannisa LLC, told the committee the owner corporation purchased the adjacent patio and building and is renovating the new space so the three parcels will be contiguous under single ownership and operation. The applicant said the properties will operate as one business under one point-of-sale system with an outdoor patio linking the spaces.

Committee members questioned why a single license would be used for multiple street addresses. Staff explained that contiguous premises under single ownership can be licensed as a single premise when interior and exterior spaces are combined, citing a similar example considered by the committee previously. Committee members also asked whether the patio — formerly city-owned under a 99-year lease — had been purchased; staff confirmed the city sold that parcel and the properties are now under the same ownership.

Pickering said staff and gates will be used to control the outdoor patio and that the business will assume responsibility for activity on the patio while it is operating.

Bruner moved to approve the amendment and extension of premises; Miller seconded. The motion passed with five votes in favor and one abstention (5–0–1). The committee noted the recommendation will go to City Council on the consent agenda; applicants were asked to attend that meeting through consent.","The committee approved amending and extending the licensed premises of Jannisa LLC (Jannisa Wine Bar) at 11 and 13 North Main Street to include 15 North Main Street (Jack and Jenny's).

For the True by Hilton application, Theresa Hartchey, representing Pontiac Place Hotel Associates 2 LLC, described lobbies and shown photos of front-desk areas where alcohol would be stored and monitored by licensed operators at the desk. Committee members and staff discussed cooler placement, staff visibility, locking storage and camera coverage. Staff noted that under state statute hotels with more than 50 rooms may sell unopened packages of beer and wine for in-room consumption; that allowance is separate from the licensed premises reviewed for lobby and lounge sales.

Committee member Knox moved to approve the True by Hilton application; Squire seconded. The motion passed unanimously after the committee opened and closed a public hearing with no speakers.

For the TownePlace Suites application, Amanda Barfinick, representing Pontiac Place Hotel Associates LLC, said the property will follow corporate standards and keep alcohol in lockable storage at the front desk area. Committee members asked about lockable storage and staff oversight; staff confirmed the cooler and locking cabinet arrangement described in the packet. Squires moved to approve and Knox seconded; the committee approved the application unanimously after a public hearing with no speakers.

Both approvals were described as straightforward by committee staff. Staff said the committee’s positive recommendations will be forwarded to City Council on the consent agenda; applicants were advised to attend that meeting.","The committee recommended class C (wine) and class B (beer) licenses for True by Hilton Janesville and TownePlace Suites at Pontiac Place, noting corporate storage standards and staff oversight; both recommendations go to the City Council consent agenda.",{"_33":99,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":100,"_41":101,"_43":102,"_45":103,"_47":104,"_49":105,"_51":106,"_53":107,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":108,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":109,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6533460,"Committee recommends White Oak Pub license to begin July 1 after property sale",408,108000,516000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3681982-0164d97922dfde41d12649f49f43f5dc&start=108&end=516","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3681982-0164d97922dfde41d12649f49f43f5dc/thumbnail_108000.jpg","/articles/6533460/Janesville/Rock-County/Wisconsin/Committee-recommends-White-Oak-Pub-license-to-begin-July-1-after-property-sale","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6533460-124a3b6f7a1cc80e43c36d11536988fc/orig.mp4?Expires=1775861938&Signature=QNXfrX0sFzrfuprnwuOzRUQvDaSWuJCUy-O~5EQGpRkeo1n5njPduJ7k1D6jkOHDDIbXpHZ4n0ct63arLB4lZe84vF~sXmIjbTHE2spOR62Gz2r~QIdmzurDL7Mst~NLL8iHQTROtiuI6xV5KYeOiWwJQndUVC5T973gzGnTGrKa6Ep67CnkzdCRv2FoWCyZMER~5G~MMG8fBs7Pyx~4ixDZz31ytiLl3khNt39FiV9XQn5t18s6ICJOVOoWmcWAw0t-LlGcfJ8UrsXWsnG~UNt-KI7v53Ezh9ztDKsuyMI43stu2QdHXLC1W~N5hrKmlZaQTbS~gSpJdR12T5fe4w__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Janesville Alcohol Licensing Advisory Committee on June 3 recommended approval of an original class B intoxicating liquor and fermented malt beverage license for White Oak Pub LLC, doing business as White Oak Pub at 429 North Parker Drive, with the new license scheduled to begin July 1.

Committee member Bruner moved to approve the application and Sikich seconded; the motion passed unanimously. The committee opened and closed a public hearing with no members of the public speaking.

The application before the committee arises because the property is being sold and the incoming licensees, Theresa Eser and Christopher Eser, asked for approval to begin their license on July 1, when the existing White Oak license will end at midnight June 30. Committee staff told the group that if the Esers wished to operate the business before July 1, the current owner could appoint one of them as an agent and allow them to run the operation through June 30 under a written agreement with the current license holder; that arrangement would be private between the two parties and not part of the committee’s license approval.

Theresa Eser told the committee she did not plan interior changes immediately and would focus on exterior work — a new roof and siding — before later updating the kitchen. Committee staff noted the existing food license is limited to pizza and pre-prepared items because the kitchen is not currently approved for full food-service; any future food-service changes would require separate approvals.

Committee staff and the deputy police chief discussed storage and control of alcohol if the Esers take over. The committee was told the current owner still controls the property until the transfer and that written acknowledgement would be needed if the owner appointed the applicants to operate the business before July 1.

The committee chair told the applicants the committee’s recommendation will go to the City Council consent agenda on Monday the 9th; applicants were advised to attend that meeting.

Action on the application was a motion to approve the original license application for White Oak Pub LLC, moved by Bruner and seconded by Sikich; the committee voted unanimously (6–0).","The Alcohol Licensing Advisory Committee recommended approval of an original class B intoxicating liquor and fermented malt beverage license for White Oak Pub LLC to begin July 1 following a property sale; the current owner may appoint operators to run the business before that date under a private agreement.","actionData","errors"]
