“The storied Chicago Brauhaus could make a return in Lincoln Square.
“Brauhaus closed its location at 4732 N. Lincoln Ave. in December 2017 — but the DANK Haus German American Cultural Center is now raising $50,000 on GoFundMe for a remodel. If the group meets its goal, it would use remnants of Brauhaus’ interior to recreate the restaurant’s famous red bar on the second floor of its center around the corner from the original spot.
“The room, which would be dubbed the Brauhaus Room, would have the bar and “architectural elements” of the restaurant, including the restaurant’s original front doors and chandeliers, according to a news release. Fans would be able to come in for beer and pretzels at Brauhaus’ bar.” (Bauer, Block Club, 3/6/20)
