History

The Tiffany Biergarten began as the Hotel Goetz in 1904, when it was built by Henry Goetz at the time when Frankenmuth was one of the leading lumbering communities in the Saginaw Valley.

Tiffany’s has endeavored to recreate and preserve some of the past history of the building which was begun by Mr. Goetz. In 1926 the Hotel Goetz was sold to Henry Fischer and renamed the Fischer Hotel. In the early 1940’s, the hotel again was sold, this time to the McNiven family who ran the business as the McNiven Hotel. The Zehnder family bought the building in 1963, remodeled it and called the business “the Tiffany Biergarten”. In 1988, Russ Baker purchased the business, installed food service and renamed it Tiffany’s.

The bar, even from its early days, was quite unique with the beautiful woodwork and famous running water floor cuspidor. The original tin ceiling has been painted gold. The walls have been painted a rich red and covered with hand stenciled designs to draw out and accent the fine grains of the polished woodwork. Twenty Tiffany chandeliers decorate the ceiling giving Tiffany’s its name.

Food service, added to the bar service, features homemade pizza, pasta and charbroiled specialties.

Today, Tiffany’s is always a must stop for the thousands of visitors to Frankenmuth as well the favorite watering hole and eatery for the locals.

Each year, spring is offically welcomed in Frankenmuth by the opening of Tiffany’s outdoor patio. Beginning weekends April 1st, then everyday from May 1st through Labor Day weekend, and again weekends through October (weather permitting of course), streetside dining is always a memorable experience on our patio. Either enjoying a meal from our full menu or just people watching with a cocktail from the full outside bar, the “Tiffany’s Terrace” has become a downtown hotspot!

Tiffany’s features weekly seafood specials from the kitchen, as well as the best happy hour in town. Enjoy watching the big games on our big screen TV and gathering with friends and family in a warm, fun atmosphere.

Visit us for a memorable experience that you’ll want to relive again and again.
