Beetle House LA

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 :)

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 ~

It's definitely a tourist trap. I'm a CA native and we decided to come for a bday party after a friend had told me how nice it was when they visited last year. Unfortunately my experience was the complete opposite. The food was good and the staff was fine, the issue was the 45 minute wait even with a reservation. A server who appeared to be over worked and did not refill any of our drinks. We saw multiple people leaving their tables and going to the bar to get drinks faster. And of course the lack of entertainment. I was under the impression that the evening was hosted by a beetle juice character, this was not the case. We had a party of 7. Due to slow service we were at the location for nearly 4 hours. The other entertainers were good, not what I expected but I did enjoy them but they repeated their acts in the time we were there. The scenery was nice and the drinks/food were good. I just expected more for a 800 dollar bill. After seeing other peoples photos of their experience I just feel let down. Also , they were out of quite a few menu items. I emailed them informing them of my dissatisfaction after they sent me a link to review them, but I never heard back.

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.

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.

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

Seriously no Beetlejuice performance, why even call it Beetle House!!! Was told by staff Beetlejuice "was busy" with other events. Drinks did take longer than expected and performances were limited. Would not go back especially for the price. Two stars, as the food was decent, wasn't expecting it to be so tasty. Would not return, save your money!

Had one of the worst dining experiences ever at Beetle House. We waited more than 30 minutes just to get our drinks. Only after being an hour in is when we finally received our appetizers that were very bland and greasy. By the time it almost hit the 2 hour mark, we still hadn't received our main food, so we decided to leave. The service was also awful the entire time. When we asked how long our food would take after already waiting more than an hour, our waitress got irritated and acted like we were bothering her. Our waitress completely ignored us, and the other servers who stopped by were rude and dismissive. For the prices they charge, the service and organization were unacceptable. We left hungry, frustrated, and very disappointed. Save your time and money and go somewhere that actually cares about its customers.

The performers and ambience are about the only reason to come down here. The food was abysmal. Wife got the chicken and I got the burger. Her risotto was filled with bones from the chicken and tasted absolutely bland. My burger was dry and flavorless. The wife got a blueberry tart and I got a brownie. Dry So dry. Like...so dry... The performers are amazing and put on great shows. Come for the shows but don't stay for the food. It's meh at best.

DO NOT GO TO THIS PLACE! I'm made a reservation for this place at 9:30 PM and they told me to be there early, I waited over an hour, and they still had people waiting above us. Totally unprofessional for a Hollywood bar to make us wait a whole hour and still have people ahead of us waiting for us. They ran out of beer. I believe they had eight beers and they ran out and only had IPAs left. Therefore they have a very low stock inventory, especially for a Saturday night. My girlfriend and I ended up leaving this place because we were not gonna wait more than an hour if we made reservations at a Hollywood bar. Customers please go somewhere else this place has changed since they moved.

A friend picked this place to celebrate a birthday. When I arrived everyone from the restaurant was super dressed up.. the place decked out in Halloween/beetlejuice theme which was super cool. Actors dressed up came out and greeted and performed. Drinks were strong and interesting. Food was good! It would be better if the meal included a drink. I thought it was going to be an actual show but actors just come out to perform a short show and then you have to wait for the next short show. There is a lot with plenty of spaces and charges about $16. Overall it was a cool experience and glad my friend found this place!

Love every single thing about the theme of this place. The show was amazing, bartenders, host, waitresses, waiters, & entertainers were AMAZING!! I feel like for what we got as far as food and drinks was very over priced. Almost $400 for just two people. The portions were small, the entrees had no flavor at all. The steak was cooked absolutely perfectly! It was just unfortunate that everything tasted so bland. The drinks were also very weak. I got the fishbowl and for as big as it was I didn't even feel a buzz. I know we were paying for the experience, but the food still should have been better for what we paid. I would love to return one day, I'd just be more mindful about what I order.

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.

The only reason it's getting 3 stars is for the ambience.... The DJ killed it!!! Fantastic songs all night! The service was very friendly can't complain there. You order all your food immediately and they check in occasionally and see if we need anything. There is a super cute bar as well! The food was meh... For the price?.... The dessert UBE panna was horrible and the cheesecake is frozen. Mac n Cheese was cold. EXPENSIVE!!!!! Prepare to spend money here and there's signs for tips everywhere........ As for the performances they come roughly every 30 mins for about 2-3 minutes at a time... not impressed. We were really excited and we were pretty disappointed.. but it's super cute inside and picture worthy!!! Come in cute outfits there's plenty of photo opportunities!!!!

Food 2/10 Service 5/10 Entertainment 8/10 Had a reservation for 7:30PM and had to wait about 45 minutes to be seated. The food is horrible. Gave them a 2 out of 10 for the wings which were decent. The only good thing about this place are the entertainers. Would I go back? NO! I would not recommend this place either, not worth the cost. I would have rather had a nice dinner somewhere else.

This place is pretty neat. Didn't know of this til my coworker told me and the girls. Up on the end side of Hollywood blvd, this is really tucked in a dark area. Signs are easy to spot. Upon entering, photo ops in front of a giant skull and one for a mirror. Going upstairs u enter the restaurant and bar. Love the dark decor. There's Oogie Boogie and Jack Skellington along with other wall decor. Lighting is great hidden inside of hanging vines and cherry blossom trees. There are booths, tables, bar seating. DJ booth with a projector screen to watch clips from horror films. Singers come out on the deep floor stage to perform their songs and oh there's a magician too. The singers come around and greet with guests. Last night got to meet Lydia (beetlejuice) and Emily (corpse bride). Wonderful ladies. Food was really good (minus the Ube). Place is pricey but u get dinner and a show. Not just for adults, family friendly and they do have a kids menu. I'll come and take my daughter here. I know she'll love it.

Our bartender Joanne is so sweet and attentive, answered all our questions! We will be back. Such a great spooky vibe all year around. Fast service, and great cocktails!

A time was to be had! My niece loves Halloween and monster stuff so I took her here. Food and drinks were pretty yummy. We sat close to the stage, but I guess that doesn't matter because the show is super interactive. They do pass the hat for performance tips, so bring a few bucks if you enjoyed the show. I was entertained and Im not into scary stuff but my niece who is into monsters and the like was entertained as well. Drinks, dinner, desert and tip was around $200. During the Fall season ARRIVE EARLY! Like Orange County early and not LA early ;)

Such a cute space with good vibes and drinks! lots of fun easter egg for movie lovers too, definitely a must visit in hollywood!

Such a beautiful and fun place. If your a fan of the strange, dark and mysterious or simply a Tim Burton and appreciate all things spooky -- then you've gotta check out the Beetle House in L.A.

We had to wait 1/2 an hour even though we had reservations. The hostess said we could chill at the bar upstairs so we went up the sticky stairs to the area where the tables were wet and littered with leftover drink glasses. Evidently there was no one to bus the tables and if you wanted a drink you had to go downstairs and get it yourself. We were considering leaving when our table was ready so we went down and were escorted to a table where the bench seat was covered in torn vinyl upholstery and a table that was unenthusiastically wiped down. The waitress was confusing as she told us about the "banquet meal" and having to scan the code on our phone everything was less and less appealing, so we left and had a fantastic and much better priced meal at the beautiful Roosevelt Hotel down the street. The Beetle House is fun to look at, but not a place to spend your money.

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!

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!

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.

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.

rude an an horrible service mac an cheese had no flavor taste like water ,ask waitress for the steak an supposedly they ran out so i had to get pork wtf,our drinks have cheap liquor in it ,the fries they gave my daughter are salty asf, 30 an still haven seen my waiteess,25 minutes to get a drink 20 more for her to come an get my order i just told her how everything was an she walked off ill update more after i get my meal but im litteraly writing this as i wait

This places sucks do not go or set up a reservation because they are closed. But they don't tell you they are and they make you put a credit card on file but they are no longer open. They even have a phone service that takes reservations with credit cards but don't tell you that they are no longer opened. They even charge you for not showing up when they are closed.

Finally got to try this place and was disappointed. We stopped in on an early Sunday evening for drinks and appetizers since we were in the area. First impression - ambiance was cool, Interesting. We noticed right away the drinks and appetizers menu did not include/display prices - which is a little concerning. Also, is that legal? You don't know how much you're spending or if you're getting over-charged. We each ordered a cocktail which looked cool, great presentation with dry ice. Taste was okay. After we found somewhere to sit, my bf went to the bar and ordered a couple apps. Nearly an hour later we hadn't received our food and had to ask. The server was very apologetic, told us it was on the house, and finally brought us our Mac and cheese and potato bites. The food was lukewarm at best and tasted like something from the frozen foods aisle. Gal D we didn't have to pay. The place was clearly understaffed for it's size (despite being a fairly quiet Sunday evening there were two large parties in the area designated for the 3-course dinner). More we sat there the more it just felt sad. Seems like they put minimal effort in decor and theming, with, I'm sure, over-priced (don't know for sure since there weren't prices available) meh food and drink options. I'm sure if it were busier the vibe would be different but this place is more of a "checked off the list" place than a "will come back" place. Two stars for the friendly staff.

I love the theme they have going on definitely something different. I wish they had a menu with more variety. However overall a great experience

I would recommend staying away from this place! We waited 30 minutes for our drinks and an extra hour for our appetizers! At the hour thirty mark we decided to leave when we didn't receive our food. The appetizers we did try were very bland and had no flavor. Our server seemed annoyed when we asked why our food was taking so long. Overall would definitely not ever recommend this place to anyone.

I used to come to Beetle House LA a lot back in the day, and it was always one of my favorite spots for special occasions. Unfortunately, it's just not the same anymore. The entertainment really went downhill there were only about three cast members doing short appearances, and honestly, the quality was low. The energy and variety that made this place fun (Beetlejuice, Chucky, and the other great performers) are gone, which made the experience feel flat and kind of boring. The food was still solid, I'd give it an 8/10 but for me, Beetle House was always about the mix of atmosphere, fun, and performance, and that part is missing now. Sadly, I'll be crossing this restaurant off my list of go-to spots for celebrations since it just doesn't deliver the same experience anymore.

Food was good but takes long to come out even though you place your 3 course order in all at once. Some of my party's food was forgotten. Service is ok. We were there for over 2 hours sitting facing an empty stage that got used maybe 4 times for 2-3 minute performances. At least out on a movie we couldn't talk because of the seating but also got little to no performances. Would not recommend nor would I come back & it's sad because the atmosphere & aesthetic is 20/10 definitely has the potential to be great.

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.

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 !

The ambiance and entertainment was worth 5 stars. The service person with the best attitude was the bus boy. First thing you need to know is they won't sit you until your whole group is there. When we were sat they told us we only had a 90 minute windows for our reservation. Mind you 90 minutes later we were still waiting for our desert. There were 11 of us there to celebrate a birthday. As for the food.. First they told us we had to order the 65$ meal options (didn't include beverages) and we couldn't just order a side. The presentation was wonderful however the flavors were lacking. I myself ordered Human Fingerless potatoes, KILLER COQ AU VIN, and UBE PANNA COTTA (V, GF). The potatoes were oily and flavorless. I asked to replace them with the Willy Wings. The wings were fantastic!. Then the main dish KILLER COQ AU VIN, Chicken slow-cooked in wine with lardons, mushrooms, onions, carrots. Served over creamy mushroom risotto with garlic herbed toast for dipping. First, the toast was missing. Second the picture showed a chicken breast, but it's actually served with a leg and thigh. Thirdly the risotto was mostly mush with some crunch. As for the desert (Sweet purple yam, coconut milk, crispy black rice, coconut milk curdsnot) the was the picture better but what I actually received was not close the ube was not sweet couldn't even taste it it was so watered down I could only tase the shredded coconut that was on top. (Which was not even on the description) and there was no crispy rice. When the bill finally came they started rushing us. They had told us they were separating the bill by table. When we got the bill it had all 11 on it so we were not prepared. The waitress kept mentioning that they were not adding the amounts correctly while looming over us. One of us had noticed the waitress was acting like she was panicking. And decided to pay the whole remaining bill. As soon as the bill was paid a lady came over to the table (while we were still trying to figure out the bill) and told us that they needed the table and if we want to talk we had to move somewhere else. She came 2 more times within 5 minutes. I payed my part and left. If it weren't for the entertainment I would have given it a 1 star.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

Where do I start....i took my wife and 10 year old daughter for her bday sat 20th of sept .We were little early so we waited in the holding area next to the bar. I went to the bar to ask for water while we waited and was met with attitude by the bar waitress saying you have to order from him I'm making drinks for the waiters!! But the tone ... really.. wow. We went to the restroom while waiting and the stairs are sticky and so dark that my wife almost fell they also are suppose to be lit up by these white non working strips that are dangling of the steps waiting for someone to face plant. Restrooms are filthy sticky and tagging on the walls. The sinks had no soap and top off the sinks had mold around the faucets . You must do better. Got our table and ordered our food. After about 40 min our daughter finally got "her" food my wife and I sat waiting while watching the singers who go on about every 30 min. And after seeing Mudd the " magician" whom does tricks that a 5 year old can do I started to lose interest. It had been about another 45 minutes. Our daughter was already done with her food and we still have not gotten our food yet.. I asked the waiter what was taking so long and he said that they were low on staff. I decided to go to the restroom while in the restroom. There was a gentleman in the stall. Another gentleman approached and knocked on the stall to in which the other gentleman let him in.. I was a little weirded out as one gentleman said three lines will do ...... as I proceeded to hear someone sniff intensely to my surprise they were literally doing Coke inside the bathroom stall. I walked to the sink to wash my hands with no soap mind you as the two people that were in the stall, came to the sink to wash their hands while both were actually cleaning their noses off from the white dust that was left behind from snorting.. I was appalled, walked back to our table to in which the food was barely arriving. I proceeded to tell the waiter that I would like my check and to go boxes. He asked me if everything was OK. I told him I feel let down the place is rundown. The service took way too long. My food is cold and the entertainment was really not up to par except for the two singers. I quickly paid and left. I will not be returning to the establishment. You guys have really got to do better, especially seeing kids in the restaurant not knowing what kind of riffraff is entering this place while families are trying to be entertained. . I went to the first two establishments that were way better before this was my first time to this new location in LA and I'm sorry to say I will never return ......

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

We had reservations for a Saturday at 4:15 right about the time they open. I know 4:15 is early for a dinner show but we had plans at 6:30 so we went early. Let's be straight this place is surely a tourist trap and the food is more mediocre to good and not good to great but if you love Halloween esthetic and good cocktails paired with great entertainment dont let recent bad reviews stop you! We went on Hocus Pocus night it seems and the Sanderson Sister put on a great show! The one playing Winifred Sanderson belted out a fantastic rendition of I Will Survive that got the crowd going. By 6pm the house was packed and people were really having a good time! When we arrived the service was fantastic but by 6:30 it slowed a little probably due to a large crowd but we never experienced the kind of bad time a few recent reviewers have reported. SO I recommend to go early and hold your expectations for a great meal. It was pricey as well but we all had a really great memorable dinner and we dont regret a minute of it!

Definitely not the place to go!!!! they SCAMMED us. Took away our food when we weren't done with it and said "we will fix it" the meal was 65 plus 15 or something so $80 and they only took 54 off the bill and scammed us on the tip as well. Food was BAD no flavor and someone in our group got food poisoning. We also got bug bites all over our legs from sitting inside. Staff was slow but definitely will not be taking my business back there.
