Babe's (without the Plum) was a local bar in Havana that began many years back, located on Market Street and was owned and operated by Todd Schaeffer's Mom. She had a strong desire to expand the business and provide a much needed bar and grill in Havana. In 1997, she moved Babe's to Plum Street into a historic building that used to be home to the American Legion Hall and began serving bar food, including burgers, fries and appetizers. Babe's grew in popularity and quickly became a hot spot for drinks and great food! In 2007, Todd and Kelli took over the business and made many changes. They updated the decor and enjoy highlighting Havana history and pictures in the restaurant, they revamped and expanded the menu to include many creative original dishes, which are always made from scratch, and added seating in the back of the restaurant to accommodate the growing number of patrons.
In 2016, Todd and Kelli purchased their banquet location, The Main Room. Kelli had always wanted to expand their space to allow her to grow her catering, and this was the perfect opportunity to acquire a unique space to cater to customers needs for event space and also the growing requests for Babe's on Plum catering. They enjoy serving clients needs at Babe's on Plum and The Main Room. "Food just brings people together" Kelli said, and "we enjoy being able to provide a gathering place with great food at both locations".
