The Beehive is a vibrant underground bistro in Boston's South End, serving eclectic international dishes, creative cocktails, and live jazz in a lively, bohemian atmosphere.
"Few better spots for jazz and blues in Boston. The drinks at the Beehive are also exceptional, and the decor conjures jazz clubs from the first half of the 20th century." - Erika Adams, Eater Staff
"The Beehive is an underground Bohemian bistro featuring amazing cuisine, libations, a curated art program, and live music performances 7 nights a week. Some might consider it the closest thing Boston has to an actual speak easy. Nestled below the Boston Center for the Art’s historic Cyclorama, The Beehive serves an eclectic fare of rustic comfort foods infused with American, European, Mediterranean, and Middle Eastern influences. Saturday nights bring a red carpet and glittery mini skirts, but most nights you'll find a diverse crowd of creative types in the mood for good food and happy mingling. They also serve a killer brunch on both Saturday and Sunday, with one of the best outdoor patios in the city." - Adam&Co.
"For the most part, the Southern-ish food at Beehive is just OK. And yet, we love coming here and frequently recommend it to people looking for a cool spot to take out-of-towners. That’s because going to an underground music venue, splitting several bottles of wine, and ordering just enough food so that the server doesn’t get pissed at you while a Latin jazz-funk band plays is always a good way to spend an evening. There aren’t a lot of big places where you can party in the South End, but this is one." - dan secatore
"Mariana Zapata noted the high cost of brunch for two at Beehive, approximately $58 per person without any meat." - Erika Adams
"Just because you don’t want to go clubbing anymore doesn’t mean you don’t want to hear some music. It just means you’d prefer to hear it sitting down, with a glass of Malbec, and maybe truffled fried cauliflower. Beehive in the South End is bumping every Friday and Saturday night with live music (usually Latin or Jazz), along with a really fun, though really crowded bar. If you’re not in the mood to yell across the room at a bartender, though, just get a table, because it’s also a full-service restaurant with a broad American menu." - dan secatore
