2011 Mill City Flashback - The Depot Hosts Bar & Patio Party for Neighbors and Guests

We met The Depot's Restaurant Manager, Randee Douglas, when our group stopped at the Stone Arch Bar for a drink during Mill City Museum's Minneapolis History Pub Crawl in August.  While chatting with Randee, we learned about the monthly Bar & Patio Party The Deport started hosting this summer after the completion of their beautiful new patio, situated just off of the Stone Arch Bar.  

The latest party was September 28, and featured Flat Earth Brewing Company of St. Paul, whose staff was on hand to pour samples and answer questions about their micro-brews.  DJ Adrian Perryman of Events by MV was spinning tunes, and juicy sliders were being devoured as fast as the chef could plate 'em up at the grill.  Servers treated guests to martinis and specialty shots, and fruits and cheeses were available for the non-carnivores in the crowd.  It all added up to a relaxing, enjoyable evening - a neat gift from The Depot to it's neighbors and guests.

A sizable fire pit is the focal point of the patio, and will come in handy for October's party (what are the odds of it being this gorgeous a month from now?).  You can stay informed on what's happening at The Depot through Facebook and Twitter.
