Java's was first seen in advertising in 1994 as 'Green Bay's Newest place to cocktail'. The ad goes on to read 'Java's features a relaxing atmosphere in a Victorian Era bar setting. Pool table, dart machine and jukebox available for your enoyment.' The address reads '1106 Main Street (Upstairs) Green Bay', which is coincidentally upstairs from the popular Za's bar.

Future ads include those for a Argonauts club night, and another annoucing a cabaret night which reads 'our more intimate Java's lounge' and specifies it as being 'inside ZA's'.

We will be researching the dates this bar was listed in the media bar Guides to try to narrow the timeline.

Any additional information is available from anyone willing to contribute it.
