The iconic German pub is back in business after closing suddenly last month.

JACKSON TWP. The Geisen Haus is back.

The popular German pub at 6955 Promway Ave. NW reopened at 11 a.m. Thursday after shutting its doors Oct. 17.

"We got our miracle," said Gloria Cavalier, one of the owners of the family business.

The restaurant received an infusion of capital and investors to "get us up and going," she said. The business has done some restructuring and is forging ahead, she added.

"It's going to be wonderful moving forward. We're looking forward to what's going to happen," Cavalier said.

The Geisen Haus first opened in 1968. The Cavalier family took over the iconic pub in 1983.

The restaurant first announced it was closing on Facebook barring a miracle. It invited customers to visit for what could be their final night. News quickly spread and customers came in droves.

A GoFundMe campaign to save the restaurant was established. That campaign has been closed and those donations refunded, Cavalier said, adding that they appreciated those who stepped up to help.

Cavalier had cited lack of business, including a particularly slow summer, as the reason for closing.

The Canton Repository reported Oct. 19 that the business had faced tax troubles, including more than $1 million in federal tax liens over several years.

Cavalier said that report wasn't accurate. The restaurant has been on payment plans for its taxes for a long time and is on track, she said.

Around 1:30 p.m. Thursday, Geisen Haus was doing steady business. Many regulars had already returned and placed their mugs at the bar, Cavalier said.

"We're looking forward to tonight. We know a lot of people are coming in after work," she said.

Cavlier hopes that others will bring their mugs back.
