Rhein Haus Seattle, or simply Rhein Haus, is a restaurant in Seattle, in the U.S. state of Washington. Previously, the business operated as Von Trapp's.
Description
[edit]Rhein Haus Seattle is a German-style beer hall and restaurant in Seattle. The restaurant has a large dining area, a long bar, and mezzanines.[1] The interior features chandeliers and reclaimed wood paneling. As of 2018 the space features 20 televisions screens, a heated patio, and bocce courts. Thrillist says:
Once-dubbed Von Trapp's, Rhein Haus is a bustling bocce ball-themed, German-style biergarten [sic] in Squire Park. There are multiple bocce courts, a full menu of German favorites (think bratwursts, pretzels, schnitzels, and spätzle) and a large draft and bottled beer list featuring Eastern European and Pacific Northwestern beers and ciders. Grab your bier, give the bocce rules of play and code of conduct a quick once-over, and hit the courts until 2am, every day of the week.[2]
The menu has also included sausages such as cheddarwurst, kielbasa, and Nürnberger Rostbratwurst, as well as fried potato on a stick.[3] The restaurant has offered free pretzels to patrons wearing lederhosen or dirndl.[4] Rhein Haus Seattle is popular among students at nearby Seattle University,[5] and has "sibling"[6] restaurants in Denver (2015),[7] Tacoma (2017),[8][9][10] and Leavenworth.[11][12]
History
[edit]Previously known as Von Trapp's, the business was renamed in 2014.[13][14] In 2022, Rhein Haus Seattle joined the Mariners Bar League.[15] The LGBT-owned[16] business also hosted an LGBT pride celebration with singer Keri Hilson and drag performers Symone, Tatianna, Thorgy Thor, and Trinity K. Bonet.[17][18]
Reception
[edit]Mark Van Streefkerk included the restaurant in Eater Seattle's 2022 list of "12 Seattle Bars with Fun Activities", noting the six bocce courts.[19]
