Wisconsin’s first rock and brew restaurant opened at the Potawatomi Hotel & Casino in Milwaukee on Aug. 1. The 250-seat restaurant was an essential aspect of the $190 million renovation. After opening, the celebrations moved to the Potawatomi Carter Casino Hotel and Carter, where Rock & Brew hosted an outdoor concert series and pop-up beer garden featuring artists such as Rascal Platts and Jefferson Starship’s Gary LeVox.
“We are thrilled to bring these rock and roll legends and their outstanding meal concept to Wisconsin,” said Dominic Ortiz, CEO of Potawatomi Casino & Hotel. “Their presence at our casino in Milwaukee has been extremely exciting and we know they will bring the same energy to Carter.”
On Sept. 1, Forest County’s Potawatomi and rock’n’brew team will further strengthen their partnership with a full-day program to help Wisconsinites feel “rock’n’roll all night,” starting with a groundbreaking ceremony for their restaurant inside the Potawatomi Carter Casino Hotel. At 11:30 a.m., Paul Stanley and Jean Simmons will take part in the first event to demolish the 5,280-square-foot restaurant. Later that evening, the duo will be joined by their bandmates to perform at Crandon International Raceway as part of KISS’s End of the Road Tour.
“We are proud to continue to partner with the Forta and Tommie communities of Forest County, which has its second Rock & Brew location in Wisconsin,” said Adam Goldberg, CEO and partner of Rock & Brew. “We’ve enjoyed getting to know the Carter community through the summer event and can’t wait to welcome them into our restaurant for the full Rock & Brews experience early next year.” 슬롯
