Dakota Inn Rathskeller

Dakota Inn Rathskeller Open Wednesday through Saturday. Live music every night. Prost! The Dakota Inn Rathskeller was opened on August 1, 1933 by Karl Kurz, the Grandfather of Karl E.
(1663)

Open since 1933, the Dakota Inn is an authentic German restaurant and beloved Detroit landmark featuring traditional Bavarian recipes, a cozy Rathskeller wine bar, and a giant Biergarten. Kurz, the present owner. 93 years later, Detroit's only authentic German bar is still going strong! Join us for band nights with authentic German bands or the ambience of our classic piano sing-alongs.
