July 28, 2023

Rock & Brews, the rock-inspired restaurant group co-founded by Rock & Roll Hall of Famers, Paul Stanley and Gene Simmons from the acclaimed rock band KISS, continues to expand its national restaurant and casino footprint, with no signs of slowing down. On the heels of new restaurant openings this past spring in Plantation, Florida and San Antonio, Texas, Rock & Brews is gearing up for a summer of celebrations and winter of openings.

“We’ve been accelerating our pursuit to partner with leaders in the casino industry looking for a brand to increase traffic and lift to their gaming offerings,” reflects Adam Goldberg, CEO & Partner of Rock & Brews. “We’re excited to see our restaurants and casinos open and being enjoyed by players and also celebrate upcoming growth by introducing Rock & Brews to new cities nationwide.”
