The Patties at Roger's Park Social
8-10PM
Starting April 20th, The Peppermint Patties will perform at Roger’s Park Social every third Thursday of the month from 8:00 to 10:00 PM.
The Patties are thrilled to return to Roger’s Park for a monthly show after performing a Valentine’s program there in February.
Patties member Anna Caldwell explains how the bar is a key part of the group’s origin story:
“In 2018, we walked into Roger’s Park Social as three friends, and walked out as The Peppermint Patties! Over drinks that night we talked about our singing careers and it seemed that each of us was yearning for a little something extra in our artistic lives that season. The idea to put on a concert together came first, and the next thing I knew we had a name and a brand and we’ve never looked back! I’m not sure if it was the cocktails or good vibes but Roger’s Park Social will always be a very special place for us.” - Anna Caldwell
Roger’s Park Social is a unique and inviting neighborhood bar that reflects the soul of the community. The bar offers a unique and inviting atmosphere featuring craft beers and freshly prepared cocktails. Founded and operated by neighborhood residents, they strive to “mindfully infuse the spirit of community, diversity, and service in all that we offer.”
Roger’s Park Social is located at 6920 N Glenwood Ave, Chicago, IL 60626. There is no cover but cash tips for the artist are always appreciated. Seating is first come first serve.
