Meet the Mayor: The Beehive

Published Nov 11 2010, 07:59 AM by Barry Thompson

Welcome to "Meet the Mayor," a segment in which we interview local Foursquare Mayors in their natural habitats.

I've never actually been to the Beehive before. What's it like?
Man, I can't believe you haven't been here. It's been here for three years. It's the who's who of the what's what of the South End, and everywhere else. Where have you been?

. . . I don't know!
Well, you've got to get out more. In there, you've got a nice bar scene, live music seven nights a week, and a great brunch on Saturdays and Sundays. What more can you ask for?

Are there any actual bees involved?
No actual bees, but we could work up some B's. May not be the B's you're thinking. But there's beer, bacon, and burgers. Those kinds of B's.

None of those things stings you.
No, not to sting you - although, if you walk in, you might not walk out the same way. You may get stung by something, but it won't be a bee.

Ever been stung by a non-metaphorical or letter bee?
I can't say that I have. Although, speaking of stinging and all that other good stuff, we did have Sting in here a couple of years ago. He came in with his wife, and they had a lovely time, from what I hear.
