Going to Shinedown and staring down the barrel of a 45-minute wait for a drink? 🍻

Skip the lines and follow the map! The Main Depot is just a short walk from the Kohl Center. We’ll be pouring before the show starting at 1PM and will be waiting ready for your Second Chance at a round after the concert.

At The Depot, we’ve always said we’re more than just a bar—we’re a family. And right now, one of our family members needs us.

If you’ve grabbed a drink here, you likely know Tyler. He’s the guy who remembers your "usual" before you even sit down, has survived more Saturday night rushes than we can count, and has likely listened to your life story without charging a therapy fee. Behind the scenes, he’s been fighting a really difficult battle. Due to ongoing health struggles, Tyler has been in and out of the hospital, leaving him unable to work while medical bills, his mortgage, and daily expenses continue to pile up.

It’s never easy to ask for help, but that’s what family is for. We’re rallying around Tyler to make sure he can focus on healing without the weight of financial stress hanging over him. How you can help:

🍺 Donate: Even the price of one round of drinks makes a massive difference.
🍻 Share: Help us spread the word to the extended Depot family.

Let’s show Tyler he’s not in this fight alone. ❤️

There’s a duo at Depot quite scary,
Of Harvey and Tina, be wary!

So don't look so bored,
Come join us and let’s get quite merry! 🍀
