Events at the Bean

 

    • Currently The Bean is only booking after-hours events that include local talent and community events.

    • There is an hourly staffing fee, and we take a housekeeping deposit to confirm your event date that is returned after clean-up.

    • We do not provide equipment except access to our house speakers.

    • All booking inquires are handled via email, please do not call or mail any unsolicited materials.

    • The Sentient Bean is a small space with bouncy acoustics. The room lends itself to acoustic music, but we are open to other genres of music, poetry, comedy, burlesque, small scale theater, drag, film showings and more.

  • FEATURES

    Great acoustics | vaulted 22 ft wood ceiling | modest 5x7 ft stage | seats up to 50/standing room 70 | seating can be arranged with tables or in rows | smoke free

    Used as seating during the day, it is easily transformed into a comfortable DIY performance space. We have a stage and large open floor space that works well for standing room as well as seating. During shows, the coffee house offers baked goods, a limited food menu, beer and wine, as well as drip coffee and tea.

  • The Bean is not a promotor. We include event information on our website, and are happy to accept invites as collaborators on Instagram posts. In large part, however, the promotion is up to you! Feel free to drop off up to three posters, and a stack of quarter sized flyers if you have them. Be sure to send your information to the local media!

  • Just to clarify, we are not a club, we are a coffee shop (and a little more). We do not pay guarantees, and generally performers accept donations or run their own door fee. Currently, as our café closes at 7PM, a staffing fee is required to book an event, and we take a deposit to confirm event bookings. The details of payment will be handled during the scheduling process.
