The beer will be cold and the brats will be hot! Cool off with a drink while you take in the breathtaking views of the city and have a front row seat to the debut performance of Chicago's newest Alpine Folk Band: The Dirndolls! |

We are so excited to offer an in-person cooking class with Lincoln Square's own Chef Carol Himmel of Himmel's restaurant! She will be teaching students how to make Rahm Schnitzel, a delectable pork tenderloin in a mushroom cream gravy and one of the restaurant's most popular dishes! Have you ever wondered the best way to brown meat or the just the right combination of seasoning to give a meal that authentic Bavarian taste? Pull up a chair, relax and enjoy a drink on us while you watch and learn. |
