Anuj GoyalOctober 17, 2010Great food, awesome atmosphere, and most WONDERFUL service. Our server was so attentive and friendly, and manager came by personally after word had passed on that it was our first time.
BravoNovember 12, 2010So cool, so hip, so packed…every night. But the food is good and groovy musical acts make the too-cool-for school service. -Tania Peterson, Top Chef Just Desserts
Amy WelshMarch 24, 2014Cute place, but I personally don't think the food is anything to write home about. To quote my own thoughts about the cod; "the vegetables were fresh". Says it all. Come for the atmosphere and music.
Jason LaFrenaisSeptember 24, 2011Great music, awesome food and service. Had short rib eggs Benedict and a carafe of Malbec for brunch. Great way to start a Saturday!
PUMAMarch 18, 2011If you like live music, this is THE place to be! It's a cool venue with some of the best cocktails in Boston! We tried several :-)
Enrico SMay 16, 2015Nice fancy place with good music. A bit ridiculously strict with international IDs for getting in.
Vanessa RuedaDecember 13, 2014beet salad is from canned beets and the dressing is a greasy mayo that you won't forget the next day.
Jacob SloanSeptember 27, 2013Music. Drinks. Dessert. No matter how you start your evening, Beehive is a great place to finish it.
Kerry SemleMay 3, 2013Get there early to avoid getting a rude waiter/waitress. Tonight the waitstaff was fabulous, but previous encounters have included very rude self-important staff. Worth it for the food and ambiance.
Heather MarsalaOctober 14, 2013This place is so cool and very different. It takes some time to adjust when you first enter, but in an exciting way :)
Akie BermissJuly 22, 2013excellent food. stellar service. classy vibe. and, incidentally, I can personally guarantee that music is awesome from time to time. #Aabaraki
Carolyn BrittonMarch 15, 2016The prime burger was really outstanding. The service was fast and attentive.
Bre MillerApril 8, 2014Cocktails. Downstairs is a better scene, super eclectic, but don’t eat here—the food is too pricey for the quality, but you can head right across the street to The butcher shop or BG Oysters
The queen bee cocktail is the best! It's really strong but you can't taste the alcohol at all.
Jake SmithMarch 23, 2012Get a Honey Highball and some Potato Pierogies to start, and then get lost in the music and atmosphere.
Daniel TewfikOctober 2, 2014The Beehive shares the BCA campus with the Cyclorama, two theaters, and a ballet company.
La WangApril 28, 2012Moroccan cigars are the way to go here... We kept ordering them. The curry sauce is amazing with it.
Steve QuigleyMarch 24, 2010Second time there. First for my birthday and Sunday for brunch with my wife and daughters. Cool vibe. Delicious comfort food....and jazz. I'll be back.
Kitchen open until 1am but if you forget to order dessert before it closes they can usually find you a chocolate pot de creme. And be friendly to the doorman each time to get a VIP card eventually. Read more
Caroline ToffDecember 30, 2012Short rib is amazing. Try the perogies and poutine too if you don't like meat.
Maya Jimenez 😬October 9, 2013Best brunch - love the french toast. Bloody Marys are bloody delicious.
Mike MazzaMay 4, 2012O'frisco martini is the best cocktail. It's light and refreshing, but really strong. An adult orange Gatorade. Watch out!
Gets loud but it's unbelievably cool. Pierogies and a honey beer go great with live jazz.
Derek KanNovember 24, 2010great brunch spot, great drinks spot, great for going out at night - great everything spot - love it here in boston
You really can't go wrong at this place. But if you want a table, make a reservation! It's always packed.
Go to the Beehive for the diversity of music and people. Downstairs bar best to mingle, upstairs to chat and hear music. Get table and dinner to see the band as they play. Read more
Sandra RubinchikJuly 26, 2015Be honest with yourself: you're not here for the food, you're here for the vibe.
