It all begins with an idea.

What began as a challenge turned into a passion project and eventually, a family mission. Over five years, our family has worked to breathe new life into one of DeKalb’s most iconic buildings. From infrastructure upgrades to design touches, we’ve reimagined McCabe’s for the next 125 years.

Our goal: to create a lasting space where the community can gather, celebrate, and make new memories, all while preserving the legacy of one of DeKalb’s great architectural treasures.

Years of Tradition. A lifetime of memories.

We are hoping to help you create memories you won’t forget.
