Such a great neighborhood place. They played fun music, there was plenty of space to sit back, relax, and people watch. Drinks were poured strong, but weren't too expensive. Everyone was really...

Genna's can be really hit or miss for me. It seems to depend on the crowd. If it's full of underclassmen, I tend not to enjoy it as much as the nights it's full of Madison's professionals. Regardless,...

In my 5 years in Madison, I just recently tried Genna's for the first time & realized what I'd been missing. It's great for the person who likes Paul's Club, but not how busy it can get. When I went...

I like Genna's because they made a mean Katie Cosmo on the rocks. The owner is also one of my Madison favorites. Her husband lit his hand on fire in front of me. Good times.
