What is the meaning of the word "Rathskeller" - Webster's International Dictionary says: "Town-hall cellar. Origin in Germany. The cellar of basement of the city hall, usually rented for use as a restaurant where beer is served at tables only, and food may also be had." Funk & Wanall's new dictionary says: "Lierally, cellar of council-house or city hall; often used in Germany as a beer-hall or restaurant, and sometimes developed into a pretentious establishment appealing to the patrons of the fashionable world such as the Bremen Rathskeller (est. in 1405). Natives of Germany, who have patronized rathskeller's abroad, tell us that Rockford's Rathskeller is one of the few representative Rathskellers in the country, having a distinctive atmosphere so typical of and identical with German Rathskellers abroad. The food served in our Rathskeller is also very typical of German cuisine. We are very fortunate in the respect, being able to obtain Usinger's Sausages and being able to manufature our own bratwurst. Draught and bottle beers served in our Rathskeller are the finest obtainable - Warsteiner, and Warsteiner Dunkle are just a few of the finest brews served at Der Rathskeller. Service is at tables only, there being no bar in any true Rathskeller. Approval by thousands of patrons has indicated that this Rathskelleris filling a real need, offering fine German foods and cool draught beer in an old world atmosphere that is 17-20 degrees cooler in the summer and snug and warm in the winter. A rendezvous for you, your wife, family, guests or out of town visitors. Located on one of the principle thorough-fares of the city, just one block east of the North Main and Auburn intersection, our Rathskeller is easily reached by auto and municipal parking is available.
