Celebrate Bastille Day at The Beehive

Come and celebrate Bastille Day at The Beehive!

Boston will become Paris for only one day this year and in only one location. On July 14, 2008, from 5:00pm-2:00am, The Beehive will celebrate with their Bee-Musette at St. Germain des près. This will be held ration in cooperation with the French Consulate of Boston, The French Library, TV5 Monde and Les Champagne Mumm.

Saint-Germain-des-Prés is an area of the 6th arrondissement of Paris, France, located around the church of the former Abbey of Saint-Germain-des-Prés. Home to a number of famous cafés, such as Les Deux Magots and Café de Flore, the Saint-Germain-des-Prés area was the center of the existentialist movement (associated with Jean-Paul Sartre and Simone de Beauvoir).

This year’s festivities will be a feast of sights, sounds and taste featuring the live and enchanting sounds of Violette de Bartillat performing her repertoire of French standards as well as current French hits and a Special Guest DJ spinning French Pop. Count on burlesque, dancing, drink specials and surprises galore! Regular dinner service will be accented with specials such as:

Vichyssoise ($7)
Saucisse de Toulouse, frites, Toulouse sausages in a mustard sauce, served with frites ($21)
Île flottante, fluffy soft egg-white 'floating' on a sea of custard ($7)

The French Consulate will also be presenting The Beehive with a special plaque honoring the location for their French contribution to the city of Boston. The French Navy will be in attendance and there will be more berets and scarves than you can shake a stick at! This event is free to the public and is based on capacity.

Dinner reservations are highly recommended which will get you a front row seat to all the action. The Beehive’s live Music performance for the evening will be from 8:00 PM to 10:30PM and the DJ will perform from 10:30 PM to 1:30AM. The BEEch, The Beehive’s outdoor patio will be open during the event serving their regular menu and is on a first come first serve basis.
