Sure, you can hold a b**r.

But can you HOLD a b**r? 🍺💪

Time to find out.

Join us this Saturday at The Glunz Tavern for our Stein Holding Competitions at 3 PM & 5 PM. Bragging rights are very much on the line.

And if spectating is more your sport, we’ve got traditional German b**rs on draft all month long.

Come for the b**r. Stay to watch someone’s arm start shaking.

Prost! 🍻

We take Oktoberfest very seriously at The Glunz Tavern.

The b**r. The pretzels. The completely unnecessary competition over who can hold a very heavy stein the longest. 🍺

Traditional German b**rs are on tap all month at The Glunz Tavern, and this Saturday we’re testing arm strength (and questionable decision-making) with Stein Holding Competitions at 3 PM & 5 PM.

For generations, Schlitz was woven into Chicago’s b**r story—and now it’s time to raise one final glass.

The Last Barrel. One Last Pour.

For well over a century, Schlitz has been part of Chicago’s tavern history—and Glunz has been part of that story from the very beginning. As the first bottler of Schlitz outside the Milwaukee brewery, it’s only fitting that the final barrel in Chicago is poured here.

Join us on Wednesday, August 12 as we tap the last barrel of Schlitz in the city. Raise a glass, share a story, and help us give a proper farewell to a true American classic.

Here’s to history, great b**r, and the place where it all began.
