The Bavarian Lodge

Started as a tiny ethnic eatery called "Chef Paul" in the summer of 1986 in a rented strip mall space on Ogden Avenue in Naperville. The restaurant moved to its current location in early 1994 and changed it's name to "Chef Paul's Bavarian Lodge" in 2001, which was then shortened to just "The Bavarian Lodge" in 2007. The restaurant has been extensively remodeled and renovated in recent years. Throughout all of these changes the restaurant has remained owned and operated by the same family that started it all back in 1986. The traditional food remains, with a renewed, relaxed, cozy and comfortable atmosphere and has become of of the premiere destinations for beer lovers in the Chicagoland area.
