WAUSAU, Wis. (WAOW) -- A new restaurant has opened up in Downtown Wausau, taking over what used to be The Ugly Mug.
Â
Called Honest J's Bistro, the restaurant got its name from Wausau's second mayor Jacob Paff.
Â
Co-owner Arthur Wood explained the reasoning in naming the restaurant after Paff, sharing the story of Paff's immigration to the US from Prussia and working as a construction worker before opening up a shop at 218 Third Street - just a few blocks from where the Bistro stands.
Â
"It's just a really great story to bring back into Wausau that may have been forgotten," said Wood.
Â
Honest J's is open seven days a week from 7:00am-7:00pm Monday through Saturday, and until 4:00pm on Sunday.
