It’s with a heavy heart that The Great Dane Pub & Brewing Company will be ending operations at our Wausau location. The financial challenges have become too burdensome to continue the business, as food costs continue to rise and consumer dining and drinking habits change.
We’re so thankful to all of our staff and to our management team, vendors, and partners for all the hard work, effort and support they’ve given over the last 15 years, and it hurts to say goodbye. Also, and we can’t say this enough: A huge shout of gratitude to our guests and to the community of Wausau for their patronage and for fully embracing the Great Dane.
Our final day of business in Wausau will be April 19. Until that time, we’ll maintain our standard hours and welcome you in for lunch or dinner. As a note, our team will be contacting everyone who had a contracted event scheduled with us, to issue a full refund. We’ll continue to offer our full menu of food and beer, so there’s still time to get your favorites. Additionally, our Madison-area pubs will continue to operate as normal.
Again, thank you to everyone who has given us so much support in the Wausau area. We’re incredibly grateful.
- Eliot Butler, President and co-founder, Great Dane Pub & Brewing Co.
