Beetle House LA

The atmosphere was perfect, but the overall experience fell short in several key areas. 1. Food Quality: The steaks were excellent, and the shrimp cocktail was spot on. However, the rest of the appetizers were disappointing. The mac and cheese and fingerling potatoes arrived lukewarm, and the wings were underwhelming in both flavor and texture. 2. Dessert Selection: Nearly all of the advertised desserts were unavailable. We were limited to just cookies with ice cream and cheesecake. For the price point, this felt like a major letdown — especially since dessert is often the finishing touch that ties the meal together. 3. Entertainment: While the acts that performed were talented, there were only three performers total — one of whom repeated with a different song. I understand it may be off-season, but given how full the venue was, it would have been nice to see a more robust lineup. 4. Service Gaps: After finishing our meal, we waited over 25 minutes without any staff checking in. Despite multiple attempts to flag someone down, we were ignored until the photographer happened to help us get the waiter’s attention. We finally received our desserts and an additional drink order, but just as we finished, the hostess came over to inform us we needed to leave due to exceeding the 90-minute table limit. This felt frustrating — had we not been ignored for such a long period, we would have been well within the time limit. ⸻ Final Thoughts: It wasn’t a terrible night, and there were definitely highlights, but for a $500+ bill for a party of four, I expected a more polished and consistent experience. A few small adjustments could have made this evening feel far more worthwhile.

Truly spooky and beautiful vibe, we had a reservation that we were late too so we had to wait just a bit to get seated once we got there but we got the best table in the front to witness the performers! FYI leave super early to find parking! Overall the comedic magician was our favorite performer! So interactive with guests and a kind soul <3 truly made our experience so fun. A photographer came around and took several photos of us and we ended up purchasing one of them, they framed it and everything! The food was average but presentation was beautiful , I didn’t enjoy my mash potatoes from the miso salmon waaay too spicy (and trust I love spicy food) and not the good kind of spicy, it tasted almost chemical with how hot it burned on my tongue so not my favorite but everything else was good. I had the Bio-Exorcism which was a cool drink, overall you’re paying for the experience and the vibes ~

Such an amazing experience! The atmosphere is perfect for anyone that loves Halloween allll year round! The food was delicious and flavorful! The drinks were also balanced and delicious. If you’re a gin person , I definitely recommend the bio exorcism! Lastly, all the entertainment they had was amazing! I was able to experience some magic , juggling, comedy and singing by good ole uncle fester . I highly enjoyed my time here ! If you’re into the area come support them and enjoy yourself as much as I did :)

Overall a fun experience for the most part. Food was subpar, cold, and under-seasoned. Website and pictures of the menu were deceiving. After attending and posting pictures, heard reviews from friends who have been here that they had a similar experience with the food. Way overpriced for the quality. I would have rather spent that extra money tipping the waitress and performers. Our server was wonderful and attentive with a positive attitude and witty/comedic responses. The performers were great and entertaining. Giving three stars for atmosphere and service. Definitely recommend eating else where before heading here.

Spooky fan in LA? Be sure to swing in to Beetle House. Enjoy a three course meal and a fantastic dinner show (singing, fire eating and sword swallowing!). Menu pictures can be a bit deceiving but overall I enjoyed all the food and drinks our party ordered. The performers and servers were top notch and the ambience was *chefs kiss*

We recently checked out Beetle House LA, and I have to say it’s definitely worth visiting at least once! For $65 a person, you get dinner and a show, making it a unique dining experience that’s great for fans of dark, Tim Burton-esque movies. The atmosphere is completely themed out with nods to classics like Beetlejuice, The Nightmare Before Christmas, and Edward Scissorhands. The staff does a great job of creating that moody, immersive vibe. The entertainment was the highlight of the night. We got to see live performances by characters like Beetlejuice, Sally, and Edward Scissorhands. They weren’t just lip-synching they sang live, and they were genuinely talented with amazing voices. Edward was actually our favorite entertainer of the night, he even gave my wife a “haircut,” which had us cracking up! One downside, though, was the timing of the performances. Each act was spaced out by about 40 to 50 minutes, so there was a lot of downtime in between. It would have been even more entertaining if the shows were a little more frequent to keep the excitement going. As for the food, it wasn’t really my favorite. It felt more like a backdrop to the show than the main attraction. The drinks, on the other hand, were extra but worth it if you’re into creative, themed cocktails they really went all out with the presentation. Overall, I’d say Beetle House LA is a cool spot to experience at least once for the unique atmosphere and live entertainment. If you’re a fan of Tim Burton’s movies or just looking for something different, it’s worth checking out!

Halloween every day. Delicious food, great drinks, fun entertainment. Some service quirks and lack of desert options as most menu selections ran out. When paying the bill there was a 20% gratuity on it, then when paying with credit card the machine then asked for a tip. Could be my mistake understanding the difference, or could be a double tip attempt. You can decide for yourself. Just felt bad hitting no tip.

Me and my friends had an AMAZING EXPERIENCE. We loved the staff, the performances, and the food. Our desert cake was too dry but we were so full from the app and dinner by then. Drinks were so delicious and on theme! I can’t wait to be back!

A very fun experience--I'm glad I ignored the negative reviews. My date and I were welcomed with open arms by the friendly staff. The Halloween and Tim Burton theme was absolutely charming, and we were seated almost immediately upon arrival. Not long after being seated, a staff member took our picture, and another returned later with the framed photos available for purchase ($25 each). It made for a great souvenir, and we were happy to get one. For food, my date ordered the California Cheshire Mac & Cheese, the Edward Burger Hands (with purple buns), and the Truffle Brownie Bars. I chose The Rougarou, Sweeney Beef, and Ube Panna Cotta. All the dishes were part of a three-course meal, and everything we tried was delicious. The performers made the evening even more special--we got to interact and take photos with Beetlejuice and Lydia, which added a fun, immersive touch. The cocktails were both visually impressive and tasty--we ordered two Big Fish Bowls and loved them. Overall, it is on the pricey side, but for an experience like this, it's well worth it. We had a memorable and entertaining evening at Beetle House.

Beetle House Review - A Ghoulishly Good Time! If you're looking for a dining experience that's straight out of a Tim Burton fever dream, Beetle House is where you want to be. From the moment we stepped in, it felt like we had entered a haunted, twisted wonderland--and we loved everyeerie second of it. Let's talk food (and fear):We ordered the SWEENEY BEEF, and wow--absolutely killer. They don't just serve it; they stage it. With little plants arranged like you're eating bones from a graveyard, it's both morbid and mouthwatering. The creativity here is off the charts. You almost feel bad digging in... almost. Then there's the legendary Edward Burger Hands. Just imagine Edward himself assembling your burger with scissors-for-hands precision. It's monstrous, messy, and magnificently delicious. The kind of burger that requires both hands--and maybe a napkin or twelve. Food presentation? 10/10.They go full-on horror show here, with gory blood splatters and grotesquely gorgeous plating that makes you feel like a villain in a haunted five-star kitchen. It's theatrical dining at its finest. Atmosphere?Every spooky corner is packed with creepy decor, vintage horror vibes, and enough skeletons to host a graveyard gala. Walking in is a spine-tingling spook--and somehow, still cozy and welcoming. It's like being hugged by Halloween itself. Service?Top-notch. Everyone stays in character, from the haunted hosts to the mischievous monsters wandering around. Our service dog even got the star treatment and had a howling good time with Chucky. (Yes, you read that right--our pup had playtime with Chucky. It was horrifyingly adorable.) Final Verdict:Whether you're a horror fanatic, Tim Burton devotee, or just love your dinner with a side of creepy fun, Beetle House delivers in every deliciously disturbing way. Come hungry, come brave, and prepare to leave with full bellies and haunted hearts. A frightfully fantastic 10/10

Here's a short review you can use: --- The food was great and the drinks were strong--definitely worth trying. The show was intermittent and doesn't repeat, so keep that in mind if you're expecting something continuous. Unfortunately, the experience was tainted by the long wait. Even with a reservation, we had to wait over an hour to be seated. The waiting area was small, crowded, and had no seating, so we were left standing the whole time. Great atmosphere once inside, but the check-in process really needs improvement.

The setup here is awesome, they certainly lived up to the year-round halloween vibe and atmosphere we've heard so much about. We stopped by for a couple drinks on a Sunday afternoon around opening time. There was a live performance going on with a guy in costume who actually sounded like Beetlejuice. We sat at the bar, and enjoyed the Chocolage Chocolate Martini which was sweet and strong with cute presentation, and Edward's Lemonade, a whiskey forward drink, served with a smoky dry ice effect. Service was quick and attentive with no one else sitting at the bar while we were there. We were mesmerized by the decor all over the walls and ceiling, the many options for dining and lounge seating, and the TV's on the wall showing clips of various films and characters including The Shining, It, Mars Attack, Jack Skellington and The Nightmare Before Christmas, Edward Scissorhands, and plenty of other Tim Burton creations. We were also startled by costumed killers like Ghostface and Chucky roaming around the place and creeping up on guests. Cool spot for sure, adding to our fun horror-filled weekend in SoCal.

This was such a fun concept! Every day is Halloween here. We took our teenage niece and had a fun dinner. The food and service is good, but the performers are what make it special. We went at 8:00, but I wish we'd gone a little earlier so that maybe more people would've been there. Unfortunately the earlier reservations were full. Great place for pictures and I loved seeing the outfits other guests were wearing. The music and ambiance reminded me of a club I used to frequent.

Such a fun spot for any Tim Burton and/or spooky fan. The themed food and drinks are what really gets me excited to try new things. The Food was delicious and the drinks were great but what really gives the experience five stars is the service. The service was so kind. They really took the time to get to know us and ask us questions. Love this place! Although it is on the pricey side, it's definitely worth every penny!

Presentation wise the food looked so creatively put together! It tasted okay, wasn't bad. The entertainment is the main reason you come here. Beetlejuice and Tim Burton characters singing classic songs. Make sure you tip them since it is a service. Atmosphere wise the decor is the best I've seen. I'm a spooky lover and this place was the best I've ever been in!

I was hesitant to go due to so many poor reviews recently but we have wanted to go for a couple years now. We decided to go for my daughter's 15th birthday. We made our reservations online in advance. We kept it small since it is a bit pricey. We had no trouble finding the building or parking. The building was open and there was staff that greeted us at the entrance. The inside of the building is cute and appropriately kitschy. Just an fyi it is VERY dark in there. Our waitress was super friendly and helpful when selecting our food orders. I wish I remembered her name to give her a shout out. The food was interesting. We tried quite a few of the menu items. Our two kids, age 15 and 13 ordered off the kids menu. They both ordered the monster burgers with Mac and cheese which were both okay. The presentation was the best part. They looked like pretty parties from SpongeBob. Across the table we also tried the poutine, the kebab, the Sweeney beef, the miso sea monster, the garlic mashed potatoes, the death by chocolate cake (SOO Chocolatey), and the just like heaven cake (really delicious). We also tried a few drinks, none of them super great but they were fun and themed. The performers were really fun and funny. We came on a night where there was a Beetlejuice, Lydia Deetz, Edward Scissorhands, and little Sam. Beetlejuice was the star of the show hands down. He was so funny and interactive and made the night a showstopper. I think it was worth the price to go and experience once but because it was pricey I wouldn't go back "just because" or if I was responsible for paying for an entire party again. They are very up front about cost and meal options etc. on their website so none of it was a surprise which is nice. I would definitely recommend this spot!

Over all was a cool experience. It was beautifully dark upon entering. It's $65 per person for a three course meal, not including drinks. The portions weren't bad, but the food was super greasy and my noodles for my bolognese weren't all the way cooked. Dessert was blah and the drinks were ok. We tried the fishbowl and Edward's lemonade. The staff was friendly and service was pretty good/fast, The performers were the best part but they only come out every 45 mins or so. Wish they would have been more frequent, because that's pretty much what you're paying for. (It's definitely not the food quality.) The performers walk around talking to everyone in between. It's cool to check out once.

I've been dying to come here since I first heard about this place but am never in the area. I finally was this past Friday and decided to make a last minute journey to Beetle House. We saw online there were reservations available, so we made one for 8:45. We get there and the place looks closed. The main entrance is closed / locked, there's no one outside. We walked around to Hollywood blvd only to realize this may be the only entrance. My husband did see a door on the alley side of the building with a man standing outside so we ask, and he tells us he isn't affiliated with the bar. So we try calling, no answer. Luckily someone came out and got us. The place was low key dead for a Friday night which I kind of thought was odd. We got a table right in front of the main floor. There were characters coming around to our table such as Wednesday and Uncle Fester, and a voodoo priest. The Corpse Bride came out and sang then made her rounds to the tables. The Voodoo priest did some voodoo. The Chucky came and did a number, he scared the crap out of me but it was fun. That was the highlight of my friend's visit. Now we ordered one round of drinks. I got the Beetle's juice. Oh my god was it refreshing. So, so good. My friend got a chocolate martini and it was not so good. She took a sip or two and couldn't finish it. I can't remember what my other friend got, but it was pretty good too. Our waitress didn't really check up on us and by the time she did, it was just to close us out. We tried ordering the poison shots but she said they were shutting down to turn into a club. So our experience was rushed to say the least. I will visit this place again. The food looked interesting and there were so many other characters that I've seen and heard about that I'd like to see.

Entertainment and the vibes were literally a 10/10! The food unfortunately didn't deliver though. It kinda came out lukewarm ish. I got the Mac and cheese, shrimp and grits, and the Ube dessert. Overpriced for what it was, but I still had a great time with my friends on a Friday night.

First time came in to celebrate my friends bday Halloween theme They have entertainment every 15min The characters are very attentive and they engage with you The whole atmosphere was really nice The drinks weee good The food ehh not too bad ! I believe we pay 65 for a full corse meal You get a drink appetizer entree and desert ! The experience was good !

Awesome experience staff was on point great service The performers were amazing.The Corpse Bride had an amazing voice and she stayed in character even as she mingled with the audience. The food was very good. The feel in the place was excellent. I really enjoyed the whole experience and would definitely recommend it if you're looking for something totally different and new to try.

Fun, thematic, EXCELLENT PERFORMANCES, well done to the whole cast, seriously it was so great to finally see a fun show, with pretty awesome food! I legit asked if there was a real chef in the back, because dang I was not expecting the food to be this good. This place can be pricey, but it is worth it for the performers And the food! (Honestly not something I'd ever think I'd see in Hollywood). Beetle juice- first of all, INCREDIBLE performer. His improv was legendary, and on brand as hell.... Not to mention his great singing! Sally - the sweetest performer with a power house singing voice! Jack Sellington! My god, give this man a friggin award and a better stinking head piece because that poor boy deserves a better designed head, but Mr Skellington, you with the high kicks and high range, SERVED US! Friggin excellent work. I don't know who does casting but everyone was friggin well cast and extremely talented, even our server was great at playing up the Halloween bit with the poison shot for our birthday gal, and seriously, it's nice to see natural great acting alongside solid impressions, incredible singing, and amazing food in the same place, which is what you'd hope for, but well done y'all! This was fun, wild, and a Lovely night! Special shout out to Jordan P on that Guinness, my man, you made a random cold night in April amazing. Thank you all!

We were looking for a unique experience for our niece's birthday. She's been to all of the local theme parks and has engaged in a lot of fun activities. This time, we wanted to bring her somewhere that had a bit of a theme park vibe to it but yet, providing more of a memorable experience. We had heard about Beetle House LA through social media. We knew that there is another location in NY as well. Since we didn't have a chance to visit their NY location earlier this year, we opted to check out their Los Angeles/Hollywood location. Beetle House is located on Hollywood Blvd on the west side of the building. It's a shared building, so you'll enter from the side of this location. Follow the signage on the wall and you'll end up at the entrance. I had very little knowledge about this place so everything that we knew came from word of mouth. Therefore, it was going to be a one of a kind experience for us. Check in with the receptionist and work your way up the stairs. Once you enter the doorway, the experience has begun! You'll notice that the tables are set up around a small dance floor, giving everyone a clear view of the performances. It's dark inside and has decor from Nightmare Before Christmas. You have to climb stairs to get to the restroom if you're seated on the lower level. The menu is goth-themed so you'll have to read the descriptions to figure out what comes with your meal. It is a 3 course meal beginning with appetizers, the main dish, and dessert. The food was ok, not bad but not over the top. The presentation was great though as it stuck with the theme. The performances were short but sweet. Each character came out and performed a cover song dressed in full costume. Beetle Juice was our emcee for the night and he interacted with the audience often. After each performance, they took the time to visit each table, interacting with guests and taking photos. Beetle Juice was over the top the entire time and quickly became a favorite among guests. They had a magician who performed a magic trick with some cards at our table and we still can't figure out how he pulled it off! It was great! Our experience was great because we didn't have any expectations for this place. My 14 year old niece absolutely loved this place as she's always looking for new opportunities to visit places that provide fun experiences. I know that after 8pm, this place turns into a nightclub. But during the day, kids of all ages are welcome for a fun experience. Beetle House is perfect for tourists and locals who want to have a good time. It is a little pricey, but I felt that it was worth it. I want to visit their NY location as well when we return to the east coast, just to compare the two locations. I recommend checking out Beetle House if you want to have a fun experience while touring/visiting Hollywood.

I am so sad writing this review. Beetle House has gone to rock bottom. Performances were subpar and the customers weren't entertained. The food wasn't good either. Ordered the chicken with beignets and the chicken was very dry. The beignets were cold. I ordered a salmon with mashed potatoes and I got to know that it had a wasabi mashed potatoes and it was trash. Our server was awesome but everything else was trash. We got charged for a high gratuity despite online stating of 5 guests or more or $300 or more quotes... please avoid. The manager wouldn't even come to our table. Everything was being relayed through the waiter. There was literally nobody in sight after 9:40 pm. My lady and I left at 10:05 pm after clearing up the issues with the charges. This please has gone downhill so much it's sad.

The food was actually pretty good, especially the beet salad but not worth the price. What you're paying for is the entertainment and atmosphere which for me was seriously lacking. There only 4 characters in the place the whole time we were there. I lady eating fire, Uncle Fester, Edward Scissorhands and Chucky. Only one of them came to our table briefly. There not much to this place.

Loved everything about this place. From the food, to the drinks, to the service and entertainment. It was such a fun experience and food was soooooooo good. Plus the fish bowl drink I shared with my boyfriend was so tasty. Planning on coming back with a big group for my birthday and dressing up again.

Came for a birthday celebration of 8ppl on a Saturday night. You tell your server which selections of food you want; then they all come out when they need too. Not pictured but the poutine was the best tasting app and the largest sized app, we got. The burgers also not pictured were also the best entree and the chocolate cake was the best dessert. As you eat songs are being sung by various themed movies, Mary Sanderson had her own song, Sanderson sisters sang 3 songs and Winnie was AMAZING. We also had sally come out to sing as well. Then they also make the rounds and talk to the guests during times they aren't singing. We did get charged for a few soft drinks we never got, and depending on what entree you got, it was more than $65 pp. the drinks were fun and creative. We didn't feel rushed while dinning and then leaving and the 1.5 hours seemed an appropriate amount of time. Recommend parking in the parking structure near the Hard Rock Cafe, it's a short 5 minute walk to beetlehouse.

It's clear this place won't be around much longer. From what I experienced, it feels like they're doing just the bare minimum to get by until their lease runs out. As a business owner myself, if I were facing closure, I'd still do everything in my power to maintain the highest possible standards, especially if I were launching a GoFundMe to try and stay afloat. If you're already operating at a loss, why not go all out and leave a lasting impression? Delivering a half-hearted experience only pushes loyal customers further away. I live over an hour away, and I try making the trip to Beetle House LA 4-6 times a year because it used to be a unique and fun venue. Unfortunately, my most recent visit was a massive letdown. We were there for two hours and saw just three performances, each lasting no more than a couple of minutes. The rest of the evening was painfully quiet, with no interaction or entertainment. In the past, multiple characters would visit your table and keep things lively. This time, we only had one and it was Uncle Fester, who was awkward and unengaging. Again, as a business owner, if I were truly trying to save my company, I'd do whatever it took to keep the magic alive. If you're already heading toward bankruptcy, why go out quietly and poorly? Cutting corners now just guarantees people won't come back or offer support. It sends the message that nobody involved cares anymore. The service was another huge issue. It felt like we were being served by a team of busboys rather than trained staff. No enthusiasm, no attention to detail. We didn't even have utensils at our table and had to repeatedly ask for them only to be laughed at. I almost ended up eating with my hands. The whole atmosphere is gone. The owner clearly seems checked out, the staff is disengaged, and the entertainment is practically nonexistent. You're left with either Mudd (performing little 5-year-old party magic tricks) or Uncle Fester, neither of whom bring any energy or character. There's no host, no pacing, no ambiance. Just silence and disappointment. This used to be a great, entertaining spot. Now? I'd honestly rather grab a hot dog from a street vendor outside and watch the people pass by, at least that offers more personality and fun than what's left inside.

I went to one of the previous Beetle House locations on a weeknight. It seemed like a fun, spooky theme bar - at the time, I thought it was just a temporary pop-up. Got a drink; took some pics. Pretty dope. We made reservations this past weekend for dinner after our showing of "Beetlejuice Beetlejuice" at Grauman's. I had checked out the website and was looking forward to the Tim Burton-themed menu. In my earlier visit to the erstwhile location and my scanning the website, I completely missed that Beetle House is a dinner theatre, so I was gobsmacked when actors, singers, and dancers came out to reimagine scenes from the original "Beetlejuice" film. What a pleasant surprise! The performers and acts we saw were excellent. It's a prix-fixe menu - appetizer, entrée, and dessert for $65 per person. They have several themed cocktails, as well as beer and wine, for additional prices. We tried the Fishbowl and This Is Halloween drinks - a blue coconut rum concoction for 2, and a cinnamony, appley confection with a smoke effect, respectively. Both were tasty and strong. For starters, we chose the Deetz shrimp cocktail (kinda had to for our Beetlejuice day) and the roasted fingerling potatoes. Though they were pretty simple apps, they were delicious - crispy, perfectly seasoned potatoes and an interesting warm-spiced cocktail sauce for the shrimp. I ordered the Sweeney Beef entrée - filet mignon with balsamic mushrooms and mashed potatoes, served with a straight razor (and a $12 surcharge) - and my boyfriend chose the Butchers' Bolognese, meaty tomato sauce with thick pasta and two hunks of garlic bread. The bolognese was delicious, and the filet was perfectly cooked with top-notch accoutrements. (And you get to keep the straight razor!) While we were too stuffed to enjoy more than a bite of our desserts, our selections - the death by chocolate cake and lemon bars - were scrumptious. They provided a box for us to take them home. While it was an expensive outing, it was a spectacular experience with quality food, drinks, and entertainment. I'm not sure if Beetle House is a place one can just "pop into" anymore like I did at their first location, but it's worth making reservations for a special occasion or just to treat yourself to a whimsical, memorable evening.

The Ambiance of the location was absolutely incredible per usual. If you're a kitschy Halloween fan - this place is for you. My prior experiences have all been at the bar side of the bar/restaurant where the drinks are averagely overpriced for the area and creative and tasty. The restaurant was a different experience, however. The food was a bit cold, the portions were small, and though they tried to be unique with what they offer vs. the typical burger and fries, they absolutely fall short in the flavor department. The performers are definitely into their roles and the service was quick and great. Though I wish we had more performances from the movies themselves, I understand this is a Tim Burton "inspired" restaurant and not meant to be the real deal. All in all would love to go back to the bar, but don't plan on spending the money for the dinner again.

Day-o, day-o, Daylight come and you wanna go here. Day, me say day, me say day, me say day, Me say day, me say day-o Daylight come and me dont wan' go home. The worker's definitely work all night on a drink of rum. They are such a hoot! They have live performances and the actors come by each table to interact with you. It's Halloween town and it's on fire! I had such a fun time here celebrating my friend's birthday. If you are a Tim Burton fan, Beetle House is the experience for you! Once you step in, you are immediately in deep Halloween experience from check in to dessert. Our server was amazing, fun and I don't think we could have had an amazing experience without her. The food is unexpectedly good, like fine dining good. Their menu has curated dishes that is not only delicious, but creatively Tim Burton themed. It was so difficult to choose what to get. Luckily, as a group of four, we were able to try out most of their selections. They have a pre-fix Poltergeist feast so come hungry. APPETIZERS "DEETZ" COCKTAIL- A super creative shrimp cocktail. It was delicious and I thought the raspberry would be strange, but actually was quite delicious. THE ROUGAROU - fried chicken and beignets were yummy. The chicken had some good heat and the beignets were fluffy. For the entrees..... there's TWO that comes with a souvenior: THE EDWARD BURGER HANDS (burger with real scissors) and SWEENEY BEEF (filet mignon with a bladeless razor). Both were so good. The wine balsamic sauce on the filet mignon was savory, delicious and sweet. PÉTONCLES ET PORC POUR LESTAT - the scallops and pork was delicious. Scallops were cooked well and the saltiness of the pork paired well. On to dessert! POISON BERRY LEMON BARS - tasty dense lemon bars with powdered sugar - yum! JUST LIKE HEAVEN - very light and refreshing cake. DEATH BY CHOCOLATE - decadent chocolate cake that will be the end of you. UBE PANNA COTTA - very good for a vegan panna cotta. The ube flavor was light and the texture of the dessert was creamy. Let's not forget about the instagramable and yummy drinks. COCO SKELLINGTON - light and refreshing pina colada kind of drink. ALCOHOLIC POISON SHOT - fun and tasty shot BIG FISH BOWL - definitely a big bowl and I didn't need to share lol. Overall, this is a fantastic time with friends if you are looking for Halloween themed fun, food and entertainment. I think you get such a good value for the price point.

Be advised staff informed us that Beetle House is under new management and can confirm much has gone downhill as a result. We were ABSOLUTELY DISSATISFIED & DISAPPOINTED. This was our 4th time visiting and we were underwhelmed with the "show" and the overall experience BE ADVISED Beetle Juice; the star is no longer there! The "show"consists of 3 acts that loops over and over all due to the new talent manager. We understand the old one left and the new one fired all the original performers and brought in their new crew. Ordering from the provided menu is a pain given that some of the items listed are actually NO longer available--never have I been advised by a staff member to make sure and give a bad review to the very restaurant they work at-goes to show the staff is clearly unhappy with the changes! It was obvious many visitors have had the same experience given that the restaurant was completely empty on a Saturday night! So sorry this once awesome restaurant experience is no longer what it once was.

We just went back to celebrate a friends birthday. There were 6 of us and not one of us enjoyed our meal. The first time I went we saw so many performers and Bettlejuice was narrating and joking literally through our whole dinner. This time he barely did that & we only saw a couple performances, it was a lot of just sitting and waiting for performers. Our waitress also had somewhat of an attitude at times which was off putting. The burger was just a frozen patty with that fast food style flimsy bacon. The potato's it came with were cold and undercooked. The shrimp was chewy and overcooked and the two Chicken appetizers were so tough you couldn't chew or cut through. Mac and cheese had little flavor and was really runny. I don't think any of us would come back again Which sucks because the concept Is so good & our first visit years ago Was 10xs better!

I wanted to give this place a 5 star sooooooo bad!!! 5 stars for the decor, characters, staff, environment (especially beetle juice) . BUT the food was so incredibly disappointing so please don't go here for the food but worth the show. My filet was cold, chewy and fatty (I didn't know this was possible with this cut of steak) My husband's hamburger literally fell apart and was mushy because of all the sauces. The fries tasted like I took a bite of an actual potato since they weren't cooked. Drink your soda slow----they charge for each one. The alcoholic drinks are amazing and so fun! The best thing I ate was the shrimp! Huge and delicious! Worth going once but unless they improve on the food I can't see people spending $65-80 pp just for food if the food is mid.

I'm so glad I didn't listen to the bad reviews on here. I almost didn't come based on some reviews. But here's my honest review. This place is amazing!!! I drove out here with my wife and 2 young kids. The place is priced appropriately based on what it offers. There's a great vibe in the place, ALL the employees were super nice. Does it cost a bit more than a typical restaurant? Maybe, but if you want to be entertained, if you want Halloween theme year around, this is the price to pay! I will definitely come back! My kids got in the car and said "best dinner ever".

I feel like people have been too harsh on this place. The performances were very entertaining and the food was good. Personally I couldn't finish everything because was too much food for me. Yes it's $65 for a 3 course meal but remember it's dinner theatre. I hope they get to open longer so others can experience this place.

came here on a whim on a Sunday after wanting to check this place out for a few years. Lucky enough we got a table even though online it said no reservations available. Surprising considering the place felt pretty dead inside... Sat at the bar and got some fun cocktails before our table was ready, we had great seats and there is a small show every 40 minutes or so. Food was actually really good! In my opinion the poutine appetizer stole the show. Mac and cheese was very small but awesome. Chicken and steak cooked deliciously, and the least favorite was the ube dessert that lacked in flavor slightly. The dinner is pre priced for each person to get an appetizer, main, and dessert, Honestly it would have been nice to not have to commit to 3 courses, considering I left feeling unnaturally full, but other than that it was a great experience overall. For 2 people with 2 cocktails and tip our bill was 230$ . Fun night, slightly pricey, would be a nice place to just hang out at the bar and enjoy the show without having to order a full dinner. I think I will be back to do just that.

Went last year, the night before Halloween. (I know, I know, super late on my reviews here. (I just spent the last hour going through old photos on my phone, so I figured what the hey) Anyway, the point is, we had a blast. The food was fantastic and the performances were fun. Definitely something to check out in Hollywood if you're in the mood for a dinner and a show.

Like many others, they canceled our reservation. Our large party was very much looking forward to this, as Beetlejuice is a fandom we're all a part of (I even have a sandworm tattoo), and I doubt we'll be back in LA any time soon.

We had a fun time at Beetle House and it's great to have new, quirky places to try that aren't in the LA "scene." The service was great, but it would have been nice to be checked on in between courses. We were a party of 5 and all of us had different opinions on the food. Drinks were good and cute. It was great getting to interact with the characters and wished there were more!

Went back. The shows were not as good this time but the food was better. We did have to wait around quite a while to be seated. I think it was at least 45 minutes after our reservation time before we were seated. I do like that the menu was themed. Drinks: The Beetle's Juice was delicious. This is Halloween was not good- it was very bitter and none of the flavors described came through. Food- mac & cheese was bland but decent, beet le juice salad was really good, Miso Sea Monster Noir had good flavor but the fish was a little undercooked and cold, Killer Coq Au Vin was pretty basic and a little cold, Death by Chocolate cake is very decadent but great if you like chocolate! We had to wait a long time for our entrees and they came out cold so we suspect that they forgot about us.

I very rarely leave Yelp reviews for anything, but I want to make sure anyone else who is gluten free and goes to this place is properly warned. Most of the menu (appetizers & desserts) have their gf items marked, but none of the entrees do. I asked the waitress if I could do a gluten free bun for the burger, and was told I could. When the burger was brought out, it had a regular bun that looked the same as the rest of the people in my party who had ordered the burger. I asked the waitress if she was sure the bun was gf, and she said yes and that she had double checked. I took one bite and knew immediately that it was not. I ended up just removing the bun and trying to eat the burger bun-less, but considering the food is already pretty mediocre, it wasn't a great experience. On top of that, no one really came to check in, so I wasn't able to ask for something else. But considering the kitchen doesn't know (or doesn't care about) the difference between a regular and gluten free bun, I'm not sure I would trust them to recommend another gf alternative instead anyway. If you're going to offer allergen friendly options, I would really hope that you would train your kitchen a bit better on those options so the people being charged $65+ can actually eat their meal. Like I said, I don't normally leave long-winded reviews like this, but as someone who is gluten free out of medical necessity and will now be sick tomorrow because of my experience, I wanted to make sure anyone else who is in my position is properly informed.

I wanted to give it 5 because the staff and performers are amazing but the food is a no. However the appetizers are solid and staff goes above and beyond from bartenders to servers especially if you have allergies. You do not want to miss this place as the performance element is amazing and they come and interact with you. The whole venue is giving Halloween year round. So many photo ops make sure you come camera ready!!!

I decided to go visit tonight with my partner since I recently heard the place might be closing and this might be our last chance checking it out. The last time I was there was many years ago when there first location opened up. This was my first time going to this one. TBH I had no idea till we got there that the location was different. This location is nice and definitely way bigger. But I honestly enjoyed my first time so much more. I think this place is better just to go for drinks and to watch the show. The food is definitely not with the price. I was upset that I didn't notice my entree wasn't part of the special. So I ended up paying for the $65 instead of $40 that they offered for Thursdays. I enjoyed my drink and dessert was good, but everything else was not very good. It took so long too for everything to come out. The place was so hot too that I honestly couldn't wait to get out of there. Not sure if their ac is busted, but that really just made it feel so uncomfortable. Sucks that my last time wasn't what I hoped for.

Here's what they don't tell you... the check includes an 18% gratuity tip. Which resulted in 32$ added to my bill which was a party of 2. Even with the forced tips this business is shutting down and I can see why. The food was good but not the best. What I disliked is that not all the characters show everyday. There are different characters throughout the week. I work weekdays and can only attend weekends, so I only got to see doctor fester, a burlesque dancer, and a magician, but not beetlejuice, jack the skeleton, or chucky which we're the ones I was the most excited to see. This wasn't worth the money and I'm really disappointed.

I have seen so many videos of beetle house LA and I was super excited to finally go in person, just to be super disappointed. Also keep in mind that I can from SF (7-hour drive) and made sure I added this to my list of activities I was doing while visiting LA. Ambiance: Outside was not inviting, it looked all boxed up and I only figured out where the entrance was by people standing nearby also waiting. Also, you have to park in a parking lot because street parking was 8am-6pm and doors do not open until 5pm. I ended up paying $15 dollars for parking. Inside was beautiful and spooky had great music. The seats were booths, and they had lots of small rips and were a little awkward to get in and out of. The bathrooms were DISGUSTING! Our reservations was at 5pm which is when it opened so I don't understand why the bathrooms were so gross. The floors were sticky, the toilet's had pee on them, and most of the soap dispensers were empty. It was also really hot in there and was making me feel a little nauseous. Food: I ordered the mac and cheese, a burger, and a cookie with ice cream. My partner ordered the mac also, the salmon, and the cookie as well. the mac was good; noodles were a little over cooked over all yummy, the burger was dry and had so much stuff on it I ended up basically only eating the patty. (I am a picky eater so this could just be a me thing so that's totally fair). The cookie was hard as a rock, ice cream 10/10. The desserts offered on the menu you could only order 2 of them and the rest she told us, so that's why we got the cookie. My partner said his salmon was good, but the mashed potatoes were spicy, and it was very off putting. The drink menu was mostly alcohol which makes since it's a bar. They also said some drinks could be made into nonalcoholic ones, but they did not have like regular sodas. My partner and I don't drink so we just had water. Service: We arrive at 5pm when it opened. They greeted us kindly got us to a table quickly. After a few minutes someone was coming around to take our photos which I did not know about pervious, I had assumed at the moment it was part of the cost of everything. Later to find out she comes up with 3 photos asking if we wanted to purchase one of them for $25 dollars. It was a little awkward of an interaction and we felt like we had to buy it. There were at least 3 people behind the bar, 1 server, 1 bouncer, 2 hosts, and 3 performers. The server did her job well for doing it all on her own, she did forget to bring us water, so I asked her nicely (other people had received water, a refill pitcher, drinks, while we had nothing). Keep in mind it was so hot in there from the get-go, so water was needed. The whole experience was super slow. The 1st act came on about 30 minutes into dining. After that was done we got our mac, about 10 minutes go by and another act came on, and then about 30-40 minutes later the 3rd act goes on and after she was done, we got our entree. It was about another 30 minutes before they took our plates, and the 1st person did another act. And then we got our dessert shortly after that. More variety of acts would have made the gaps not feel so long perhaps. We ended up leaving around 7:30pm so 2.5 hours there in a hot room with medium acts (the fire lady was awesome), medium food, medium service. Overall, we ended up spending $200's for the food, a picture, and tip. I was really bummed out and I probably never come back. I almost never leave reviews, but I felt that if it was this bad, other people should know too. I really hope you take this to heart to help improve and make it magically spooky as I have seen it online.

Everything about this place is amazing!! $65 sounds a little steep at first but when you go you are getting more than your money's worth! The performances are stellar and the food and drinks are terrific! Definitely going back!!

HORRIBLE FOOD & house of beetle ? Went to go see Beetlejuice DUDE DOESNT COME OUT ON A WEEKEND TOO ? Upsetting whole reason why I went. But back to the food honestly I'd rather starve than eat that horrible food. Chicks had talent singing and dancing but not satisfied with food or not seeing beet

The concept and presentation are cool but everything was just a bit off. Drinks were straight sugar, food was cold, our waitress was non-existent for the first hour we were there and then after she dropped our food she didn't come back to check on us for another 45 minutes. The place was pretty empty for a Saturday night it was a bummer. The performers were good, I felt bad for them that it was so empty.. most likely will not be returning :/

What a fun experience! Was taken here for my birthday, as I like musicals and theater. So throw in drink and dinner into the mix and it sounds like a great time. It's located on the corner of N La Brea Ave and Hollywood Blvd, so you can imagine traffic can get pretty bad. There is paid parking along N La Brea Ave, however you can chance it and try to find street parking. Note there are 1-hour and 2-hour limits so be careful as you may need to move your car. The pictures on Google Maps don't show it but the walls have the Beetle House logo on them now. The hostess at the stand had fabulous makeup and costume on (I wish I took a picture of how fantastic she looked). I could tell I was in for a good time. The decorations were so good. From the Nightmare Before Christmas' Oogie Boogie in the corner to oranges and purples, and black of various Halloween decor. Plants hanging from the ceiling lights it was great. Now I'm not super into spooky season but I appreciated how amazing the vibes were in the venue. We got to sit near the center stage at the booths and continued to take everything in. The server that helped us was great, from the beginning to giving us ample time to look over the menu and throughout the night checking up on us. Speaking of menu, it's digital (like many places nowadays) scan the QR code and choose what item for each of the 3 courses you want. My bf initial chose the poutine and I the wings, mains were the pork and scallops and miso salmon, for desert we got the death by chocolate cake and ube panna cotta. The food was solid, while the poutines tasted great they were swimming in a pool of grease that made it hard to eat. Luckily our server let us change items which was so nice. Scallops were seasoned nicely the pork was nice but there were quite a few large fat chunks on some pieces. The salmon was delicious in its miso sauce. Chocolate cake was delicious and the ube panna cotta was nice and refreshing. Now to the entertainment. I had such a fun time with all the performers throughout the night. You do have a table time limit, but throughout the night performers dressed as various movie characters sing songs from said movies and also sing different current songs like Bad Romance, or I Will Survive. This is reminiscent of like a Disney character brunch, where after the song, the performers walk around to each table and interact with guests. This experience is definitely what you make of it, so if you aren't so into this part it no worries, they don't pressure you and are very respective. I absolutely loved talking to the performers, especially the Sanderson Sisters (Hocus Pocus). They were spot on and such a fun set of characters. Jack and Sally also performed and were fantastic as well. They also let you take photos with them too. I absolutely would go again as I hear that the performances differ. If you're any sort of spooky season fan this is a must to check out. You'll have a great time and you get what you put into it as far as character interactions go.

I enjoyed the place where everyday is Halloween. You get an appetizer, entree, and dessert for $65 I found that to be more than worth it! Shoutout to Maddie she was a fantastic waiter if you go ask for her! The vibe and decor was spot on Tim Burton inspired paintings and characters. The live performances were wonderful the characters were amazing they greeted guests and stayed in character while offering a great experience and plenty of photo ops. We received a wonderful table right in front of stage. The drinks were ok not consistent in the flavor and alcohol content! The food was pretty good chicken wings were great. Some of the food lacked in flavor like my steak. Overall if you like Tim Burton and Halloween I highly recommend it's a great place! 10 out of 10! *****DOWNSIDE Beetlejuice character was to much in character he was not approachable and stand offish with me and my friend but friendly to everyone else that was weird and unpleasant.******* ****Make a reservation is a busy place*****

Cheezy but a good time!! Amazing costumes and makeup. Actors performed scenes from the movie and circus tricks. When we went it was a three-course set meal for $65. My husband had fun even though he had never seen the movie. I imagine that kids would love it. Don't even think about going without a reservation. We had to wait an hour even with one, but I didn't mind soaking in the atmosphere.

9/10 experience. Me and my husband were given this as a wedding gift and it really blew any expectations I had out of the water. The food was phenomenal and cooked excellently. The performers were amazing and interacted with the crowd. We had a reservation for 6 and arrived an hour early and they were kind enough to move our reservation up. The only thing that was an inconvenience was the check, which had another tables orders on it. So we had to wait an extra 30 mins to get that sorted. I want to mention because parking wasn't mentioned on the sit or was hard to find here. There are a lot of parking garages around this location that range from $10-30. The parking garage behind Beetlehouse was only $15 for the 2 hours we were parked for.

Great place. Atmosphere was very goth vibe and the actors were all amazing. Food was good too!

Made Sunday dinner Reservations, the hostess was very sweet and seated us even though we arrived a little early. Perfect seating location in front-center of the dance floor, one level up. Entertainment was enjoyable and the atmosphere was great! Aside from the steak which was flavorful and tender, the chicken was not very tasteful. Dessert was not as good as I would like, chocolate cake was a bit dry. I Parked on, Hollywood & Highland parking lot, about a 5-8 minute walk.

The atmosphere and performances were really fun and spooky. The food was solid. I enjoyed the poutine the most out of everything we had. Also the chicken with mushrooms and carrots was delicious.

Had a reservation at 6:45, didn't get seated until 7:30. Took forever to get our drinks, appetizers were all cold and none of us liked our food tonight. Almost $400 and it was awful. So sad because we loved this place SO MYCH the first time we came but tonight was awful and I'm not sure I'll ever come back
