Pat and I were introduced to the Bean Depot by my cousin Joyce and her husband gart this past Wednesday evening. If you are ever in Port Charlotte FL look up this local icon.
If you're looking for character the Bean Depot is the place, it isn't white tablecloth, fine dining, large venue, gourmet or on any star rating. Located in a historic old post office building near the Myakka River/Charlotte Harbor it is home to the local residents and showcases local bluegrass talent on Wednesday nights as well as presenting a variety of music on weekends.
When we were there there was a group of players with banjo's, fiddles guitars, steel guitars and mouth organs jamming on the lawn while inside there was another group which included a base fiddle and piano inside the Café. Folks were singing and some were stomping, it was fun and a marvelous experience.
Make sure you get there early as parking is crowded and the hours are short, the café is open from 12 PM to 9 PM.
