Last summer I reported that Long Wong's, 5239 W. Bluemound Rd., was "closed for maintenance" after owner Paul Wong suffered a stroke and was having other health issues.
Now, former Long Wong's manager Jon Bliesner and former bartender Bob Schindel remodeled the space and opened J&B's Blue Ribbon Bar.
The Story Hill bar offers nine tap beers, including Miller products, Lakefront products, Pabst and Guinness. It also has a large selection of bottled and canned beer. The new owners plan to add a food menu before the Brewers' Opening Day on Friday, April 6.
