The troops are still waiting on that final signature, which could come as early as tomorrow morning -- whiskey willing -- but after four days of restlessness, the Bean is opening tonight at 5:30, and while there's no liquor license, MacKissock and his kitchen crew are rolling out the full menu, says Gallic. "It's kind of a bummer, and we're trying to be patient with the liquor license, but in the meantime, Max and the kitchen staff are doing the full Squeaky Bean menu, and the dining room, bar seats, patio and chef's counter are all open," he notes, adding that even without bar manager Sean Kenyon's ingenuous cocktails, "it should be a really fun night."
We'll drink to that...even if it's just H20.
