“We are ecstatic to bring these rock ‘n’ roll legends, and their outstanding dining concept, to Wisconsin,” says Dominic Ortiz, CEO of Potawatomi Casinos and Hotels. Later that evening, the duo will join their bandmates to perform at Crandon International Raceway as part of KISS’ End of the Road Tour. Paul Stanley and Gene Simmons will participate in the inaugural demolition of the 5,280 square foot restaurant. On September 1, the Forrest County Potawatomi and Rock & Brews teams will further their partnership with a full day of programming that will have Wisconsinites feeling the ‘rock and roll all night,’ beginning with the groundbreaking for their restaurant within Potawatomi Casino Hotel Carter.

Following the opening, the celebrations traveled to Carter, where the Potawatomi Casino Hotel Carter and Rock & Brews hosted an outdoor concert series and pop-up beer garden featuring artists such as Gary LeVox of Rascal Flatts and Jefferson Starship.

The 250-seat restaurant was an integral aspect of the property’s extensive $190 million renovation. The first Rock & Brews Restaurant in Wisconsin opened on August 1 at the Potawatomi Casino Hotel in Milwaukee. The tribe last year announced plans for a $100 million renovation that includes adding 1,800 slot machines, a new bar and a new restaurant and room for high-limit gamblers with a craft bar, a kitchen featuring a brick oven, and a stage for live performances.The Forrest County Potawatomi Community has partnered with Rock & Roll Hall of Famers Paul Stanley and Gene Simmons of KISS and their rock-inspired restaurant group, Rock & Brews, to bring their nationally recognized restaurant concept and live music to the state of Wisconsin. The Potawatomi are preparing to deal with competing casinos opening in downtown Chicago Waukegan, Illinois and Beloit. The tribe also is required to pay the state $20 million as part of its gaming compact. The net win doesn’t include revenue generated by the casino’s restaurants, concerts and hotel. That compares with $4.4 million to each entity in 2021. The tribe paid about $5.9 million to each government entity for the year that ended June 30. Wisconsin tribes' casino revenue is confidential, but the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel was able to calculate the figures, since the Potawatomi pay the city and county of Milwaukee 1.5% of its net win.
