Raucous San Francisco restaurant nears reopening after hiatus
There’s finally a reopening date set for German restaurant Leopold’s.
The San Francisco business, which has remained closed since the start of the pandemic, is slated to reopen on April 26, as first reported by TableHopper. The restaurant will open under new owners Michael Lamina and Carla Anne Suntjens.
The reopening is a bit of a homecoming for Lamina, who had a previous stint as the chef at Leopold’s when the restaurant first opened in 2011. Lamina hopes to keep the German restaurant’s charm and concept mostly unchanged. “It’s really heartening to know folks are missing us and are looking forward to a good schnitzel and beer,” Lamina told SFGATE last fall.
SFGATE found that Leopold’s liquor license had been revoked last May, but the restaurant now holds a license to sell beer and wine on-site. TableHopper reports that Leopold’s will offer about eight beers on tap, 20 canned beers and a selection of German, Austrian and Eastern European wines. Lamina also anticipates adding daily food specials that may include an Austrian fried chicken, TableHopper reports.
Leopold’s first opened in 2011 under the wing of brothers Albert and Rainer Klaus. Since its opening, Leopold’s has been known to draw rowdy crowds eyeing beer served in a bierstiefel. In a 2012 interview with Eater SF, Albert shared that weeknights were typically made up of two groups: local families looking for an early bite and the livelier guests.
German restaurant Leopold’s is expected to reopen at the end of April.

The forthcoming opening should be no different.
