After 22 memorable years, Dieter and Nancy Rebitzer, owners of the Bierstube Bar and Grill, are retiring! While we are very happy and excited for their next adventure, we will greatly miss all of our loyal employees, guests, and friends we have made. The community has been amazing and we are very grateful for each and every year. Ein Prosit to the Rebitzers and the legacy known to us as the Bierstube.
The next few weeks we will be throwing quite the party as we get ready to say our goodbye. We hope to see you all one last time for lots of great food, beer and laughter.
The German restaurant has two locations in the Quad Cities area, including Moline and LeClaire. The Moline location has closed and the LeClaire restaurant will follow suit, according to Mike Rebitzer, the son of the owners. He said there isn't a set date on when the LeClaire location will close, but the restaurant will continue to operate until inventory is used up.
