Potawatomi Casino Hotel is excited to announce the opening of Rock & Brews restaurant with Rock & Roll Hall of Famers Paul Stanley and Gene Simmons of KISS. The 6,000 square-foot restaurant seats up to 200 guests with private dining capabilities, offers 48 taps pouring the best domestic and import beers, as well as Sprecher Root Beer, and a stage for live entertainment. Executive Chef Ben Jones predicts Rock’n Hot Chick Wings, Alice Cooper Poison Burger and Demon Chicken Sandwich (an homage to Gene Simmons) will quickly become favorites from the American cuisine menu.
“Potawatomi Tribe has been a proud part of bringing entertainment to the Milwaukee community for 32 years. Together, we look forward to continuing to be a part of this unique entertainment destination in Milwaukee,” stated Forest County Potawatomi Community Chairman James A. Crawford. “We look forward to building and growing our business and entertainment relationship with Paul and Gene and look forward to their End of Tour concert in Crandon, WI on Sept. 1, 2023.”
“We’re excited about our new partnership with the Potawatomi team to open a Rock & Brews restaurant in their Milwaukee Casino Hotel,” said Paul Stanley and Gene Simmons in a joint statement. “We’ve all worked hard together to create a Rock & Brews destination we could be proud to share with the community, and that is without a doubt what we’ve done.”
The grand opening featured performances by cover band PRISS, delicious food, and ticket giveaways for KISS’ upcoming End of Tour concert coming to Crandon in September 1, 2023.
“There’s much more coming, as part of a $190-million renovation we will add four additional gaming areas and a $15-million VIP room that’s designed with our diamond players in mind, including a show kitchen, entertainment stage and high-limit gaming tables,” said Potawatomi CEO Dominic Ortiz. “You think 2023 looks great, wait until you see what Potawatomi has in store for Milwaukee in 2024.”
