In November 2012, Turner Hall Restaurant reopened after a major remodel. On June 4, the restaurant posted on Facebook that it would no longer have regular hours of operation over the summer season, but was available for private events and catering.
The post also expressed thanks to customers and said "we hope to see you again in the fall."
But the restaurant apparently remains closed and calls to Turner Hall Restaurant were directed to a voicemail with a full mailbox.
The BMO Harris Bradley Center was the entity that reopened the restaurant in 2012, but today, The Pabst Theater Foundation applied for a Class B Tavern and Food Dealer License. The Pabst Theater Foundation hosts concerts and events on the second floor of the building, and owns and operates the Pabst Theater and Riverside Theater as well as booking concerts at other area venues like the BMO Harris Pavilion at Summerfest.
So, what’s in the cards for this iconic Downtown Milwaukee dining, drinking and fish fry space? At this point, Pabst officials are not revealing any plans, so stay tuned for more info when it becomes available.
