Do Good by Dining Out For Life at Rhein Haus and Wally's Wisconsin Tavern

Dining Out For Life is an annual restaurant-based event with a truly fulfilling call to action: Dine at one of the 3,000 participating restaurants in more than 60 cities across North America on Thursday, April 26, 2018 and that restaurant will donate a generous portion of the day's proceeds to fund HIV/AIDS care, prevention, education, testing, counseling and other essential services in their city.

And no city raises more than Denver! Project Angel Heart’s event in the Denver/Boulder metro area is the largest in the nation, with more participating restaurants and more funds raised than any other market. In 2017, Denver/Boulder-area restaurants, breweries, and community members helped Project Angel Heart raise more than $330,000.

One Denver restaurant taking part is Rhein Haus, gay owned and part of an ever-increasing family of German inspired beirgartens and bocce halls with locations in Tacoma and Seattle, I had a chance to speak with owner Matt Fundingsland about their participation, pretzels, and their plans for Denver PrideFest!

How long has Rhein Haus been participating in Dining Out For Life? 
This will be our second year participating in Project Angel Heart. We are also happy to announce that our sister restaurant, Wally's Wisconsin Tavern, is participating for the first time this year. 

And why do you participate in Dining Out For Life? 
Project Angel Heart has been delivering meals to patients with HIV/AIDS and other serious illnesses since the early 90's. We feel it's a wonderful cause to contribute to and we plan on participating every year.

What message do you have for readers of MileHighGayGuy and why should they come to Rhein Haus?  
We take pride in our service, food, and drinks at both Rhein Haus and Wallys Wisconsin Tavern. We can cater in-house events of any size with our 14k square foot, two level facility. Whether our guests are here to kick back with a stein of beer on one of our four indoor bocce ball courts, or have a nice seated dinner with friends and family, we will make it happen! Plus, who doesn't love bottomless mimosas and french toast on weekends? We feel we have something to offer for everybody!

And once they get there, what should they order?
Some of our guest's favorites are pork schnitzel, our house-made sausages, and fresh baked pretzels.

All proceeds from Dining Out for Life in the Denver/Boulder area directly support Project Angel Heart, a nonprofit organization that prepares and delivers medically tailored meals for people living with cancer, HIV/AIDS, kidney disease, and other serious illnesses. Funds raised through this event specifically benefit those clients living with HIV/AIDS.
