The Glockenspiel bar and restaurant on West Seventh Street announced on its Facebook page Sunday night that their lease will not be renewed and they are closing immediately.

Sunday was their last full day of business, but they open one last time from 3 p.m. to 10 p.m. Wednesday.

The restaurant’s catering and concessions will continue to operate out of the Meat Market-Deutschland Meats in Lindstrom. The Glock’s owner, German native Martin Ziegler, is a master butcher who also owns that meat market.

The historic building, built in 1887 as a home for the Czech-Slovak Protective Society, and the traditional German decor made the restaurant, which opened in 2000, look like it has been around forever, Pioneer Press food writer Jess Fleming wrote in 2014.

At the time, Fleming also raved about the sausages, German beer, “fresh, homemade soft pretzels,” warm German potato salad and the Gulaschsuppe, “a comforting beef stew spiced heavily with earthy paprika.”

“It’s just the thing for a winter lunch,” she said.
