Scenery is good. Service was subpar. However the food was overrated. the shakshuka I ordered was half cold and the corned beef hash was not made fresh. The food was also sent to our tables in less than 3 minutes of ordering the food,which makes me even more suspicious if the food was made fresh. It's a shame that they charge 20$ price tag on subpar food is something I really hate to see in Boston. Subpar food and service for absurd prices. read more

The beehive is a great place for a date or to have brunch with friends! In my experience, the food is delicious (little pricey!), the location is convenient and fun being right in the south end, the ambiance is casual and funky, and the service is prompt and pleasant. Definitely make a reservation if you can. read more

Great cocktails, atmosphere and music. The food is never amazing...a solid 3.5/5 stars, however the overall place makes it a 4 stars venue to enjoy a great nigh out. read more

I got the equivalent of a happy ending after dinner here. The server comes up to us, looks at my barren, licked-clean plate, looks up at me with a little smirk, and goes, "Want a box for that?" I doubled over with laughter because it was a legitimate joke and it was delivered perfectly. I left the dude a 30% tip. I should establish that while this was not the greatest gourmet food I've ever eaten in my life, it was very good. What impressed me most was how the chef put a great deal of thought into every element of the dish. I got the chicken roulade on cauliflower mashed potatoes, green beans, and spiced pistachio. This was one of the few occasions on which I've liked the sides more than the main element of the dish. The green beans were lightly dressed in something citrusy and creamy at the same time. But they were dressed ever so lightly. I couldn't even see the tangy veil that the chef had draped over them. All I need to make vegetables more fun is a dash of Tabasco but this dressing actually made it fun to eat the greens. A good dressing is like beer goggles for fugly veggies. The Beehive's chef should patent whatever was on those beans because it could help countless overlooked greens get laid for eternity. But what put this dish well over the top was the pistachios. In the words of the late George Michael, "Those nuts were delicious." The menu said they were "spiced," which is an offensive understatement. That's like saying the Carolina Reaper has a bite. The pistachios tasted like they had been carefully toasted and then tossed in a thick, soy-based sauce that gave them a sweet-and-tangy essence. And crunchy is always a fun counter to tender chicken. When you can convert simple pistachios to a type of candied, savory treat, you know your shit. Next up: The cauliflower mashed potatoes. Whoever invented this essentially came up with the adult version of "Here comes the airplane!!" because it's the only form in which I'll touch cauliflower. I normally hate cauliflower so much, I get nauseous. My main problem is the texture. It reminds me of my high school biology class. When we were learning about the kidneys, I remember thinking how cool the cross-section of a kidney looked. The nephrons looked like a flash of lightning opportunistically captured in a still photo. But the knowledge that pre-piss flowed through that grainy structure made it gross to think about. That was when I knew I would never follow in my parents' footsteps and become a doctor. If the sight of a kidney grossed me out, how the fuck would I handle sticking my finger up an old man's ass? Playing proctologist is a mandatory hazing tradition in medical schools. Kind of like getting paddled in a frat. I admit that the precursor to golden showers doesn't flow through cauliflower, but it looks enough like nephrons that I can't eat it. The few times I tried it, it was how I imagined a kidney would feel like in my mouth. It wasn't crunchy like broccoli. But it wasn't soft like a tomato. It was like someone had already started digesting it, like Brundlefly had used some of his caustic saliva to soften it for the human race. So whoever decided to make it like mashed potatoes managed to pull off a 'Fat Chance'-style miracle. The mash was delicious and even had an earthiness that made it a tad better than traditional mashed potatoes. I scooped the mash onto each slice of the roulade to add flavor. The roulade was made of chicken breast but it was still soft. The flavoring was simple: Garlic and a few other flavors that complemented the lightness of the chicken breast. My only complaint was that the roulade was supposed to have sausage rolled up in it but I didn't taste anything remotely like sausage in the middle. In fact, if I didn't know better, I'd say I was served just a rolled up chicken breast lightly seasoned. Still, there was enough variety within each bite that I was pretty happy with it. I would tweak the dish in one of two ways: 1. Pick a contrasting meat like hot Italian sausage or compact ground beef meatball mixture for the center of the roulade. A great roulade is like a Kinder Surprise egg: The outside is delicious with something unexpected in the middle. The center of Beehive's roulade was more of the same. 2. Keep the current filling but use chicken thigh for the outer layer. Finally, the dessert . . . Oh, Jesus, the dessert. Dude, it would be impossible for me to express how incredible the flourless chocolate cake was. Fuck the entrées. If you're in the South End, just go for the flourless chocolate cake. In fact, if you go there to socialize, buy this for a girl instead of a drink. Eating it will keep her from talking too much but it's so good, she won't care. Everybody wins. Even if I have kids, I will never cry with joy like I did eating that cake. Talk about putting a bow on the evening. read more

Very rude security person who basically told me that he was entitled to removing my friend's seat from the bar while she was at the restroom because he was "security" and told me to speak with his manager if I did not like it. He kept arguing with a very aggressive, uncalled for tone. Food and drinks were great however the experience was ruined by this unprofessional security staff. I hope management is taking note of this review. I would be glad to provide a description of this person. PS: I noticed a similar review from Pablo on 4/28/2022 so there is a pattern with security. read more

What a cool vibe! Enjoyed the jazz brunch. Although it was a little loud, you could still hold conversations. Food was really good. All around great experience. The lamb and egg shakshuka was fiyah (as the kids say)! French toast was awesome and the eggs bennie looked perfect. Thank you all at the Beehive! I'll be back for blues night!!! read more

I came here for brunch today with two friends and we had a great time. The food was really good and the atmosphere was really nice. We had made a reservation on a third-party app (called Vocolife, y'all should look into it: you make $$ for making reservations, super cool) BUT the reservation wasn't listed in their system (which sucked :/ ). The host and the general manager were really nice about the situation though, they made sure we still had a table in the really nice basement area, which has live music. The dining area is nice and open, but it's loud. There are a lot of tables down there and it seems like the restaurant is ALWAYS packed. Our waitress was nice; however, at one point, she actually shushed us, which was quite shocking, as we weren't being that loud. Whatever. The food was really good. I had the waffles with chocolate sauce and marscapone. I would most definitely recommend. The quiche and shakshuka also looked amazing so if I go back, I will be getting one of those. Takeaways: MAKE RESERVATIONS NO MATTER WHAT, this restaurant is expensive so plan accordingly, don't go here if you'd like a nice quiet brunch Also note that I heard the host say that the maximum number of people accepted for a reservation is 6. read more

2nd time here and it was as good as I remembered. This time was just for drinks and some appetizers before dinner at another nearby place. Their drink called the Clockwork is one of the best mescal drinks I've had. Complete with Szechuan Peppercorns (ground on top as a floating garnish), Aperol, Passionfruit and Bitters. Smokey and spicy. Ended up coming back later in the night for another round. A colleague had the Queen Bee and loved it. For food, we had the calamari and sashito peppers. I'm not normally a big fan of fried calamari, but here is was done quite well. Nice and tender and not overcooked. The sashito peppers were excellent. We also had the Beehive frites with sage and sea salt. Flash fried sage? Yes, please. Wow, it was good. Frites were super crispy and tasty as well. As mentioned, we came back here for a nightcap after dinner. The Clockwork drinks weren't quite as stellar as earlier in the night. Not sure why--one thing noticeable was they didn't have the peppercorn garnish. Had the 2nd round been as consistent, I'd have gone full 5-star on this fantastic place. They also had some great live jazz happening during our second visit. Always a great touch. Service by the hostess and the bartenders was great. Very friendly, lots of smiles. read more

Make sure to have reservations! Otherwise, you'll have to try to find a seat at the bar upstairs or downstairs. Downstairs is actually really cool because they have live jazz playing on a mini stage. The atmosphere is very lively. I ordered the shashuka of poached eggs with North African style tomato sauce and polenta. I highly recommend this dish. It's not too heavy but a savory dish. If you like grits, you'll love this dish. Our bartender also looked like a doppelgänger of Channing Tatum make sure to tell him, you'll make his day my bf ordered the burger with homemade chips. The chips are interesting because they are actual potatoes and just slightly fried and baked. Very good! I'm pescatarian but from what I heard, the burger was just mediocre and nothing special. read more

For anyone looking to work here BEWARE: Today was my first day of training after being hired last week. I was not alerted of any stipulations or requirements pertaining to my employment and today was literally THROWN OUT of the establishment and had an office door slammed in my face because I said I had obligations on Sundays and would not be able to work. I had a completely open schedule to work any/all other 6 days of the week and was told I needed to leave by the manger Jodi. I immediately returned my paperwork, apron, and entry card. Horribly unprofessional and uncalled for. read more

Nice venue, good service, great music.

Came here on my birthday on Aug. 4th, and it was beyond incredible. Fastest service, food was delicious and atmosphere was fun. I ordered the Lobster and Shrimp Pasta and it was full with flavors. My husband ordered the Braised Brisket. Also, he requested a cocktail from the bar that was not on the menu and they were so accommodating. The drink is called Pimm's Cup, highly recommend. read more

Never have I resonated with a place in Boston so much. It is essentially Bohemian in aesthetics, embracing the warm tone of exposed brick, richness in color palette, combines the kitsch and unique elegantly. Spacious, spanning two stories with a bar on each floor, a velvet curtained stage which hosts jazz of an excellent caliber, and a landscape of various tables, the diversity of patrons have a choice of activity. I was pleased to see three varieties of Brooklyn beer on draught, and a small but well thought out drink list. However, of the several I sipped, none were executed to the justice of the surroundings. The server was relaxed and friendly, but knew very little about the offerings of the bar. Viewings of the food seemed promising, but I didn't partake. There will be next time though, happily. Update: Drinks = YES, Food = NO. read more

If you're coming for food, don't. If you're coming for good customer service... definitely don't come here. Our server was rude, rude, RUDE and rushing us out the door. We spent hundreds of dollars on drinks and it wasn't good enough since we didn't each order an entree. I do not recommend this place; there are so many better places than this one, with better food and much better service. Not worth the hype. read more

Went to dinner at The Beehive with family. Our whole dinner experience seemed extremely rushed. We ordered the fried oyster appetizer and decided to order an additional appetizer, the tuna tartar. He immediately indicated to us that we had to order entrees as well, which was obvious that we were going to do, but he said it with such attitude that was uncalled for. The whole time this waiter hovered over us, immediately told us the deserts when some of my family members were not even done with dinner yet. The whole experience was uncomfortable. Did not like it. read more

4-star ambiance, 3-star food/drink. Sunday Jazz Brunch was super fun but didn't care for the shakshuka (hardly authentic) which was served lukewarm and the egg scramble, which literally had 2 pieces of kale. Mimosa tasted of a harsh, cheap sparkling wine. Enjoyed excellent service and loved the jazz quintet, but sadly underwhelmed by the kitchen. Protip: Upstairs balcony seating is where it's at. Unobstructed view of the stage downstairs, enough privacy, without needing to yell over the live music as with downstairs seating. read more

Food was great - but keep an eye on your bill and the server, Without going into detail along with having been in the industry for a long time something seemed very odd and our bill was higher (a lot) than what we actually ordered but with a lot of the same items - just really weird ? Again , the food was great but make sure you double check everything you ordered against your check. read more

I really love the bands that play. It's a really great touch to the fun-laid-back atmosphere the restaurant has. The service is pretty good and the menu items are as uniquely designed as the restaurant. We ordered the coffee cake with honey butter (which is always my favorite), the Big Bowl with salmon, and a smoked salmon dish. Overall the food is really good, but the greens in the bowl were pretty acidic. I would definitely come back for a date or with friends. read more

Jazz Brunch. This is a great place for Jazz Brunch. My date didn't know that Jazz Brunch existed before today, but this was a great induction to the Jazz Brunch world. We had very good coffee, a couple of mimosa's to start. The band played down stairs while we sat at the bar. ***hot tip*** if you want seats in front of the band while you eat, make sure to book downstairs in advance. If you want to experience the music and food in a conversational tone, make reservations upstairs in advance. You'll still be able to see the band. There are seats available at the bar first come first serve both upstairs and down. (but if you are reading this you are a planner - call ahead!). We had the African Tomatoes, polenta and Lamb dish - which was excellent. Also the Poutine with Brisket and poached eggs was about the best Jazz Brunch meal on a brisk fall morning I could have asked for. Really great experience if you like Jazz, and eggs. read more

Last time for the beehive!!! Our waiter seemed like he wanted to kill us the entire time. He was not happy at all. Do not order shots here. They're $15 each. Waste of money. The drinks are subpar at best. The smash burger was not good at all either. A smash burger should be thin and filled with juices and flavor. This burger was just a thick well done patty. This advertising seems like just a way to get around asking, "how do you like your burger done"... I was not impressed. Especially when the bill was nearly $700. read more

Love this place, especially for brunch! I made a reservation here but for some reason, it did not go through. Nonetheless, they seated us right away. The decor of the restaurant is extremely cute: it is really suitable to "The Beehive" actually, as there are a ton of flowers and actually bees, but it really provides a nature and picnic-esque vibe that you can't get elsewhere. I ordered the salmon cake benedict, which was absolutely delicious. The salmon cake was crisp on the outside, yet soft and tender on the inside. The salad that came with it made it actually a flavorful, yet light meal. My friend also got the shakshuka, which was phenomenal as well. The flavors were definitely on point! And the food came out extremely quickly and the servers were pretty prompt. Overall, great experience and I'd say I'd definitely be back. read more

Make a reservation for Sunday brunch and prepare to be a little behind schedule. The place is busy for a reason but it's worth the wait. I'd like to think I'm an eggs benedict enthusiast/know-it-all and I'll say that the Beehive's plate makes the list of Top 5 I've ever had. And that's mostly because their version was presented to me slathered with short rib. Also, their french fries are essentially the love child of potato chips and potato wedges. Regardless, makes for an interesting spin. I think a lot of people will get up in arms about having to dish out some dough for brunch, but it's all about the experience. The Beehive's layout is perfect and you get wonderful live jazz music. If you want a cheap brunch, go to Dunkin Donuts downtown, plop down on a bench and listen to all the drunk college kids who are "calling dinosaurs" after last nights terrible mistakes. read more

Just OK. Had brunch at the restaurant and found it ample. Yes the jazz was nice but place is a bit run down and the food was terribly over priced. Eggs shouldn't cost $24 plus another $8 for egg whites. Could have eaten at Contessa practically for that much money. read more

So the decor is pretty cool. Downstairs felt like I was on the set of Moulin Rouge... High ceilings and red curtains and industrial meets 18th century-looking candelabra-style chandeliers. Bartender was wonderful. Very understanding of my desire for a DIRTY martini, with lots of olives. Gave me six on a stick at one point (see photo). What I didn't like so much was the trend factor. It was too buzzy in there for me. The hostesses looked at me like I was insane for even asking for a table. Reservations for dinner were "a MUST" (even though there were several empty tables when my friends and I arrived just after 7pm) and the bar was super crowded. I like to be where it's hip and happening, but not if it means waiting 10 minutes to get a drink. Did not hear the live music, perhaps because I was out of there by 10pm, whoops! I should have listented to the wise words of my friend Mona... "WE DON'T CROSS THE RIVER." read more

Was staying by Chinatown with a friend. Looked at Yelp for a good place for Breakfast/Brunch on a Saturday morning. Yelp did not disappoint! We had a 10 am reservation and requested an outside table upon arrival, got seated right away. The rest of the outside seating filled up within minutes. Did not step inside so I cannot comment on the atmosphere inside but the outdoors seating. Beautiful weather. Busy neighborhood that was preparing for the pride parade to pass through. Definitely enjoyed people watching with our brunch. My friend and I both ordered an entree each and got the calamari to share. I am not a big eater yet I was still able to finish my share of the calamari and my entree. The portions are bit on the smaller side. The calamari pieces were really good but there were only two pieces of the advertised jalapenos. In an already small plate there was a lot of fried veggie fillers. Although most of the veggies were good I did not care for the celery. My shakshuka was really good, eggs were cooked to perfection. Again the portion was a little on the smaller side compared to other places where I've had shakshuka. Never had shakshuka with polenta, I instantaneously became a huge fan! Service was good. Although portions were small the food was delicious. Will definitely return to The Beehive next time I am in Boston. read more

What a swanky place. I love this place's atmosphere. I came here for dinner with a friend after work and was totally under dressed with scrubs on. But i really appreciated that none of the staff members treated me differently. There were tons of people there for dinner and drinks. I ordered the steak & frites and my friend ordered uni sole and we shared the shortrib baos. I really enjoyed my dish and LOVED that they were able to get my medium rare steak just right! Aside from being a little on the salty side, i enjoyed it very much. My friend was gravitating towards the sole bc it said it was Uni crusted. Although good, the uni flavor was very light and almost undetectable. The short rib baos were good but not mind blowing and I would probably skipped that next time. Overall, I had a fabulous experience and would love to come back for drinks and dinner again. read more

We used to love this place but alas this last visit really has ruined my good memory of it... We made reservations weeks ago to head here to celebrate my brother's birthday during Sunday brunch. The one comment that I had mentioned when I made my reservations was to have a table with a nice view of the band. We arrived on time and mentioned this to the host as well. We're celebrating a birthday made a reservation weeks ago and would like a nice table with a view. They ended up seating at this crappy table behind a pillar...the guest of honor couldn't see anything. The irony is the place was half empty downstairs, music didn't start playing until thirty minutes after we were seated and most of the tables on the main floor with good seats were still empty even after we got up to leave an hour later. The sad part is my brother is wondering why the devil we thought this place was so special... read more

This review is more like 3.5 stars, but I'm bumping it up a bit due to its uniqueness. My friend and I came here Monday night around 9pm. We got in without a reservation, and it wasn't crowded. We sat downstairs, at a 2-person table with a great view of the stage. On Sundays & Mondays they have a special burger menu, which was amazing and moderately priced. There was a female singer that night, who was a great singer. I also liked the decor- exposed brick, interesting artwork and lots of little mirrors in the bathroom. The ambiance was very relaxing, a bit quirky, and a bit romantic. To drink, I started out with the Honey Lavender Whiskey Fizz ($10.50) and then later had the Lulu ($10.50). My friend ordered a beer and then the Cranberry Winter Mojito ($10.50). I loved my whiskey fizz drink, but it didn't taste that strong to me, so I switched to the Lulu. I think the Lulu was made wrong, or I just didn't like one of the ingredients- it was very sour and I couldn't drink it. The waitress didn't ask me if it tasted okay, despite the fact that it was sitting on the table for an hour or so, and I hate complaining at restaurants so I just let it go. However, my friend's cranberry winter mojito was yummy. For our meals, my friend got the roast cod with broccoli rabe and pasta ($22). I tasted the pasta (I don't like fish) and it was really good. Their burger menu isn't online, but I believe the burgers were about $14-16. I had the hamburgeois, and it was amazing. It came on a baguette with a lot of different things- pickles, mustard, brie, aioli sauce, etc. It was really delicious, I ate it all, and I was stuffed afterward. I also ordered a side of broccoli rabe ($5), which was good, but it was so garlicky I didn't eat it all. I was neutral about the regular menu, and I thought the entrees were a bit pricey. However, I'd definitely come back for: the burger menu on Sundays & Mondays, the drink menu, and the ambiance/entertainment! read more

Easily my new favorite place in Boston. I never found a vibe quite like this in this city. The live jazz was just the beginning. We were taken care of by an incredibly charismatic and accommodating server and the food was all cooked to perfection. The calamari was the best I've ever had in my life (and that's saying a lot). The steak frites was amazing: the haricot verts were perfectly blanched and the steak was cooked just right. I haven't had a meal this consistently great in a long time, even in New York. The cocktails were unique and delish, too. I would definitely recommend coming here! read more

Beware that The Beehive may charge a No Show fee even if you show up for your reservation. We booked through OpenTable, which asks for a credit card to hold the reservation. We checked in at the host stand when we arrived for our reservation and had a nice dinner. OpenTable later sent an email stating that we did not show for our reservation. I clicked the button in the email to indicate that we were, indeed, there and promptly received another email from OpenTable stating that they contacted The Beehive and everything was resolved. A day later, I noticed a No Show fee from The Beehive on my credit card statement. After numerous attempts to contact The Beehive via phone (no one ever picks up) and via email requesting to refund the No Show fee (and offering receipt proof), two weeks later I am now resorting to disputing the charge through the credit card company. Very disappointing. read more

This one's for the ladies; allow me to explain.... The Beehive is a social scene, a place where the city's young professionals go to see and be seen, while getting some consistently good music. The decor is pleasant, dark and minimal with exposed brick throughout, yet the layout could use some revamping. The bar is lined with seating, making it very difficult to order drinks. Often, you have to wait three bodies deep while two bartenders struggle to keep up the pace with patrons. This adds to the aggravation without question. Get there early or rarely you will find seating, unless you get a table and dine on some of their less than savory dishes. The food quality is mediocre at best. That's all I can really say; it's not awful but in the times that I have come back after the first occasion, I have not eaten here, and dishes look to have declined in both quality and appeal. Sometimes there's a cover, which doesn't seem all that bad, but when you hear that there's a $20 admission tacked on to your night, it's enough to make me want to turn around and head elsewhere. Despite the attractive crowd and relative abundance of singles, it's an unfortunate reality that the Beehive is all buzz and no honey! read more

This is one of the most charming places in Boston. We came in for brunch on a Saturday morning and this place was already popping with live music. You definitely need a reservation if you want a table. Since we didn't have one we opted to sit at the bar. Full menu available at the bar as well. I ordered the salmon Benedict and hubby ordered short rib Benedict. My salmon was good. But the short ribs were out of this world. The meat was smothered in gravy on top of a bed of crispy potatoes, topped with poached egg. The flavors in that dish really brought the meal to life. The ribs itself made to melt-in-your-mouth perfection! Their iced coffee is a must try as well. If you want to enjoy the band you have to go downstairs. But you will hear the music and you can still enjoy it upstairs by the bar. We loved this place, can't wait to go back. Their dinner menu is suppose to off the hook as well. So we have this placed bookmarked for our next Boston trip. Will be back for sure. read more

We coordinated a birthday celebration for a 1:00 Saturday Brunch. Throughout the process the team was less than accommodating with seating together (with 1+week notice). After being seating, a celebratory round of tequila was ordered (it took 25 minutes), we ordered our first round of drinks 10 minutes after riding shots. (20+ minutes). Throughout all of this we were unable to order any food. We were at the table for over 45 minutes and then decided to pull the plug and had to leave. A faulty bottle of wine that we had to argue to remove from bill and we left. Luckily, Barcelona is next door. They accommodated ya and the service was phenomenal. read more

I've been to this place multiple times for brunch and dinner and have never had a bad experience. This past Saturday I took my family here for jazz brunch and they loved it! The inside is a mix between classy and hip. I believe the interior used to be a theatre so they've done a lot to maintain that vibe. There are bars on both floors and the band performs on the bottom floor. The music is always great (as long as you're not sitting too close (request not to!). The menu is always changing so it's hard to give specific recommendations but I'll say that everything I've had there has been unique and boasting with flavor. This past Saturday I got the Sakshuka (not even sure what it was ... still don't know haha. But I liked it and provided a picture!) You can get more generic things as well as my mom ordered scrambled eggs with apples and cheddar and my dad got a quiche. Both enjoyed their meals! The raw bar is also great and I have had the tuna tartare before and found it quite delicious. I have not had the cocktails here but have heard mixed reviews from my friends. One of my buddies got a Bloody there once and didn't like it. So maybe avoid that one! Also, the service this past time was great. Everyone is very professional and treat even Sunday brunch as a fine dining experience. The only negatives of this place for me are the prices (Especially for dinner!) and it can be crowded/noisy. It really depends on where you are seated and if the band is playing. Overall this place is 100% worth going to at least once and will please any out-of-Towner. Make a reservation on Open Table - really easy. Check it out! read more
