Chicago Brauhaus

Food + DrinkLincoln Square · German Beer Hall Community-sourced, unverified
📍 4740 N Western Ave (DANK Haus, 2nd Floor), Chicago, IL 60625

Chicago Brauhaus spent 52 years as Lincoln Square's nightly oompah-band beer hall before closing for good in December 2017 — but it didn't disappear so much as move.

$$

Former owners Harry and Guenther Kempf partnered with the DANK Haus German-American Cultural Center to relocate much of the original bar's interior into a dedicated 'Brauhaus Room' on DANK Haus's second floor, reopening in September 2020.

The current version runs more on scheduled events and Stammtisch gatherings (German-style regulars' nights, often tied to specific beer styles like Starkbier) than on nightly full dinner service, so it's worth checking DANK Haus's own event calendar before planning a visit rather than assuming old-school daily hours still apply.
