Are you looking for a local pub or restaurant, filled with history and charm, to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day in style? Well, look no further than The Bean Depot Café & Museum.
When Englewood REVIEW caught up with the ever-busy Erin McCormack, she was preparing for the St. Patrick’s Day celebrations. “Every year, we make our own homemade corned beef and cabbage. Don, bless him, gets things rolling at 5 a.m. We’re cooking up ten cows just for that day.”
The place is alive with music from start to finish. They’ve got two stages spread out over five acres. Inside the restaurant, they kick things off on the small stage with Jimmy Bishop and Lance the Hurricane. “Those two are incredible,” explains Erin. “Lance tears it up on harmonica, and Jimmy’s a solid guitarist. They’ll play from 11 to 2. Right after, from 2 to 3, Mike Jager and his band Vinyl Revival take over.”
Erin says that out back there’s a bigger rented stage. From 3 to 6 p.m., the Champ Jackson band plays. “Champ’s just 15,” Erin says, “but he’s already been on Ellen DeGeneres and absolutely shreds the guitar—you have to see him perform. Everybody around here knows his name. And then, from 7 to 9 p.m., Maiden Cane, a local favorite rock band, closes out the night.”…
