‘Roll-A-Cover Uncovered’: Sauf Haus Retractable Roof

Every Wednesday, ‘Roll-A-Cover Uncovered’ spotlights a favorite Roll-A-Cover project.

“Roll-A-Cover made our seasonal outdoor patio a 365 days a year venue. We have had 37% growth this year, which is our best year to date, partly because of Roll-A-Cover.” – John, Owner, Sauf Haus

Washington, DC.- Sauf Haus Bier Hall & Garten is a fantastic beer garden right in the heart of our nation’s capital off of the famous Dupont Circle. If you are looking for a lively and authentic German beer garden and some imported brews, Sauf Haus is your place. According to a Yelp review, “Great beer selection and rooftop spot (in the warmer weather & still awesome in the winter because they put a glass roof on).” 

This retractable skylight enclosure that encloses the large patio space is a favorite of the Roll-A-Cover staff. Roll-A-Cover teamed up with Winmar Construction to bring a motorized retractable skylight to the biergarten. Nobody wants inclement weather to ruin their ale! Thanks to Roll-A-Cover, the patrons of Sauf Haus don’t have to worry about that. Sauf Haus is able to serve its guests year-round, rain or shine. The Yelp reviewers are grateful for that, as one in particular stated, “Since they have a retractable roof, luckily the garden is open year-round.” Another mentioned this, too, and said, “The roof is open, but there’s a retractable glass ceiling when the weather is bad, which is a nice touch and rarely seen in DC.” 

Not only can you enjoy their world-class German beers here, but you can also come to watch your choice of sporting events on their TVs. The ceiling is beautifully adorned with string lights to make the evenings even more spectacular on this roof. While you are here admiring the space, feast on a pretzel! When you visit Sauf Haus, you’ll know exactly why this restaurant is featured in this week’s “Roll-A-Cover Uncovered.”
