EGG HARBOR, WI (WTAQ-WLUK) – The new Shipwrecked Brew Pub building is taking shape.
The rebuild comes after a fire tore through the historic Egg Harbor landmark last summer.
“Yeah I watched it, it was sad,” said Robert Mueller of Egg Harbor.
Following the fire, the restaurant’s owners promised to restore the long-time tourist attraction.
Mueller tells FOX 11 watching it return from rubble has brought back a staple of the community.
“I’m glad it’s being rebuilt. Because it’s going to bring a lot more people to Egg Harbor.”
Construction on the building began last October.
Beth Levendusky, Marketing Director for Shipwrecked, tells FOX 11 it’s been a busy 7-months.
“We’re concentrating on getting our brew house finished. So, we can follow with the rest of our equipment. We already have some of our tanks in already.”
Levendusky says the upgrade includes new additions both inside and outside of the building.
“We will have second story dining. We’ve never had that before. We’re going to have some large garage door style windows that can open.”
While there will be plenty of new features for people to enjoy, she says there will still be some things will be staying the same.
“Our captain and our rowboat that we have hanging that we were able to pull out of the original shipwrecked. All those items we were able to save are going to be going back in.”
The restaurant is scheduled to reopen at the end of June.
