"I know the original Beatnik as the constantly busy West Town restaurant and bar that spawned the downtown spin-off Beatnik on the River." - Ashok Selvam

"Made an Eater Award-winning hotspot in 2017, this Bohemian-inspired cocktail bar and eatery exemplifies Bonhomme Hospitality Group’s emphasis on unique, detail-oriented interior design, standout chef-driven food and cocktail programs, and sophisticated lounge aspects, with inspirations drawn from specific moments in time and cultural and artistic movements that are realized with originality rather than becoming caricatures." - Daniel Gerzina

"I also saw that Beatnik was honored in Tales of the Cocktail’s first regional top 10 lists." - Daniel Gerzina

"Lavishly decorated and inspired by global flavors, this spot feels like a party that never ends and drinking is necessary; the refreshing Kenny’s Redemption Sour (a pisco-based cocktail with kaffir lime leaves, lemongrass, and aquafaba) is a great start. Vegetable-focused meze shine, from fried baby eggplant whose chewy skin contrasts a creamy interior to potatoes prepared three ways with smoked trout roe that adds a fun, salty pop. Rabbit arepa is a must-try and the grilled whole branzino from the Fest section also excels; finish with a terrific warm apple cake or a stunning chocolate halva torte with hazelnut gelato." - Jeffy Mai

"A Mediterranean restaurant that opened in September in West Town, this concept is being used as the template for a riverfront spinoff by the group's new acquisition." - Ashok Selvam
