STILTHOUSE GASTROPUB, INC.

What STILTHOUSE GASTROPUB, INC. does

STILTHOUSE GASTROPUB, INC. (operating as Stilt House Gastro Bar) is a single-location American gastro pub located at W62 N630 Washington Avenue in Cedarburg, Wisconsin, founded in 2013 by Gordon Goggin and Keith Reid, and currently co-owned by Gordon Goggin and Tricia Dooley. The restaurant serves a primarily local Cedarburg and southeastern Wisconsin customer base across four customer segments: neighborhood diners, families with children, craft beverage enthusiasts, and private-event groups, supported by a kids' menu, a 30-tap rotating craft beer program (including a partnership with Sprecher Brewery), a 30-plus wine list, a craft cocktail menu, and daily specials such as Wine Lovers Monday and a recurring fish fry.

The business runs a direct-to-consumer model across dine-in, online pickup ordering, gift card sales, and a private event/catering program for parties of up to 40. Revenue is generated through a mix of per-transaction food and beverage sales, annual subscription memberships (Mug Club and Wine Club), gift card purchases through Toasttab, and professional-services catering fees. Underlying technology is intentionally light: Toasttab handles online ordering, gift cards, and catering leads, Constant Contact powers email marketing, and the company relies on Facebook for organic social engagement and on third-party press (Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, Edible Milwaukee, Sheboygan Press, Fox6) for earned media.

The restaurant is a closely-held, independently-financed small business with approximately 5 employees on the disclosed headcount, no venture or private-equity backing, no subsidiaries, and no documented M&A activity. Differentiators center on the historic early-1900s stilted building, a rotating small-plate menu updated roughly every three months, a local-supplier partnership with Delicately Delicious for desserts, and a small set of recurring recognition (2014 Cedarburg Chamber Sparkplug Award, 2015 Sheboygan Press Top Five Restaurants, #1 Best Burgers in Cedarburg).

Direct peers

• Café Hollander: Belgian-inspired gastropub in the Milwaukee area offering craft beer, European-style small plates, and full-service dining. Highly comparable as a Wisconsin gastropub concept with overlapping craft beer and small plate format; Stilt House owner Gordon Goggin was previously Director of Operations for its parent group.
• Water Street Brewery: Milwaukee brewpub combining on-site brewing with full food service and a strong craft beer program. Comparable as a Wisconsin gastropub/brewpub pairing rotating draft beer with a full kitchen menu similar to Stilt House's 30-tap craft focus.
• The Wicked Hop: Historic Milwaukee gastropub offering American comfort fare, craft beer, and weekend brunch. Comparable as a Wisconsin gastropub combining a rotating draft list with a full kitchen and bar-focused small-plate menu similar to Stilt House's concept.
• Café Benelux: Third Milwaukee-area Lowlands Group gastropub with European beer list and shared-plate menu. Comparable in concept mix (craft beer + small plates + dinner) and customer demographic to Stilt House, again linked through the owner's former employer.
• Café Centraal: Grand Avenue (Milwaukee) gastropub serving Belgian and American fare with extensive beer list. Same Lowlands Restaurant Group banner as Café Hollander, sharing gastropub format, small plates, and craft beverage emphasis that mirrors Stilt House's positioning.
• Delafield Brewhaus: Suburban Milwaukee brewpub with German-American menu and house-brewed beers, located in the greater Waukesha County area that Stilt House also draws from. Comparable as a craft-beer-forward, full-service suburban gastropub serving southeastern Wisconsin diners.
• Dooley's (Cedarburg): Cedarburg pub sharing common ownership with Stilt House (Gordon Goggin and Tricia Dooley) and accepting Mug Club benefits across both locations. Most directly comparable peer because it operates in the same town, same ownership group, and overlapping beverage-loyalty program.

Regional players

• Lake Park Bistro: Milwaukee-area upscale-casual bistro offering seasonal menu, curated wine list, and craft cocktails. Comparable as a regional, chef-driven small-plate and wine-focused concept in the same southeastern Wisconsin dining market Stilt House serves.

Others

• Sprecher Brewery: Glendale, Wisconsin craft brewery with a taproom and restaurant that partners with Stilt House on events and co-marketing. Comparable as a supplier/partner rather than direct competitor — it feeds Stilt House's craft beer program and co-promotes via WKLH radio.

Broad incumbents

• Bartolotta Restaurants (Lake Park Bistro, Harbor House, etc.): Established Milwaukee restaurant group operating multiple upscale-casual concepts across the metro area. Comparable as a broader, more established hospitality operator serving overlapping southeastern Wisconsin diners with full-service dining and curated beverage programs.
