Rhein Haus

Seattle import Rhein Haus took over the former Old Chicago space in LoDo in late 2015, adding a second floor, beautiful Teutonic bars in dark, ornate woods and indoor bocce for those who can’t sit down with their stein of German lager. But you should sit down, whether at the bar or a booth, for a full-on meal of northern European specialties, including a handful of housemade sausages, cheesy spaetzle or the intimidating Schweinschaxe. No, that’s not the name of your towering, blond-braided waitress; it’s an oven-roasted pork shank the size of your head that even the most robust Gunters and Gretels will have a tough time finishing.
