Millbend Coffeehouse Information & History

The Millbend Coffeehouse is a non-profit enterprise hosted by the Northwoods Unitarian Universalist Society.  Open the 2nd Saturday of every month, we are dedicated to bringing the finest in national and local musical talent to perform in our informal and intimate setting.  We are a smoke free and family friendly environment. In our intimate venue you can meet the entertainers and obtain copies of the hard to find CD's and cassettes of these fine performers.

Suggested donations vary.  A percentage of the gate goes to a local charity/cause -- which is determined by audience vote and announced at the Intermission.  Several gourmet flavors of coffee and a variety of scrumptious pastries are available, as well as juices and soft drinks, .

The Millbend Coffeehouse began in December of 1992, with a show by The Banded Gekkos.  Since then, we have had numerous Kerrville regulars, as well as musicians who have appeared on Austin City Limits and other national broadcasts.  We have presented musicians on tour from across the US and foreign countries.  During this period the Millbend Coffeehouse has donated over $11,000 to local charities.  Originally, the shows were opened by local poets and occasionally they still are.  It is not unusual to find displays of local painting, sculpture, or crafts in the lobby before and after the performances.

The Millbend Coffeehouse is Produced by Teresa Allen and Pat Hanna.
