Brewers' Ryan Braun to open restaurant in Lake Geneva

LAKE GENEVA — Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Ryan Braun is part of an ownership group that is opening a fine-dining restaurant in Lake Geneva, according to the Business Journal of Milwaukee.

The Ryan Braun Tavern and Grill will be open in late November or early 2010 in an existing restaurant space that is being extensively renovated, said Nez Balelo, Braun’s Los Angeles-based agent.

Balelo declined to disclose how much Braun is investing in the project, saying he is part of a group that includes several business executives from Chicago and Lake Geneva.

“Ryan has an appreciation for fine food and fine dining and has always talked about getting involved in a restaurant,” Balelo told the Business Journal. “This just seemed like the right opportunity.”
