A fifth Sprecher's Restaurant & Pub is on tap, this one planned to open in Sheboygan.

Capitol Cuisine LLC, the Madison firm that operates Sprecher's restaurants at Bayshore Town Center in Glendale and in Madison, Lake Geneva and Wisconsin Dells, is close to completing negotiations for a Sheboygan location, a company executive said Thursday.

The newest edition in the chain would take over the space now occupied by the Highland House restaurant on the Sheboygan River just south of the downtown area.

Two of the current owners of the Highland House would own the new restaurant with additional local investors. Capitol Cuisine would help with management initially, Sue Getgen, operations director for the Madison firm, said.

Getgen said Capitol Cuisine plans to begin franchising the Sprecher's Restaurant & Pub concept. The Sheboygan location eventually would become a franchise, she said.

Sprecher's Restaurant & Pub serves beer and soda from Glendale's Sprecher Brewing Co., but is not owned by the brewery.
