Genna's Cocktail & Lounge, established by Frank Genna in 1964, has been a beloved fixture in downtown Madison for decades. Since its relocation to 105 W Main Street in 1993, this family-owned and operated business has continued to attract patrons through its unique charm and inviting atmosphere.
Housed in a distinctive polychromatic brick flatiron building, Genna's stands out as the city's only known commercial structure built in the Gothic Revival Style, as recognized by the Madison Landmarks Commission. Whether you choose to cozy up upstairs on a snowy evening or relax on the outdoor patio during warmer seasons, Genna's offers a versatile experience for all occasions.
From post-work happy hour cocktails to leisurely visits to the Bloody Mary bar after a Saturday morning farmers’ market outing, Genna's prides itself on being an integral part of Madison's vibrant Capitol Square. Come and immerse yourself in the rich history and inviting ambiance that have made Genna's a cherished destination for locals and visitors alike.
