Bohemian bistro w/ live music, eclectic fare, brunch, patio
"The Beehive is an underground Bohemian bistro featuring amazing cuisine, libations, a curated art program, and live music performances 7 nights a week. Some might consider it the closest thing Boston has to an actual speak easy. Nestled below the Boston Center for the Art’s historic Cyclorama, The Beehive serves an eclectic fare of rustic comfort foods infused with American, European, Mediterranean, and Middle Eastern influences. Saturday nights bring a red carpet and glittery mini skirts, but most nights you'll find a diverse crowd of creative types in the mood for good food and happy mingling. They also serve a killer brunch on both Saturday and Sunday, with one of the best outdoor patios in the city." - Adam&Co.
"An icon of Boston’s brunch scene, the Beehive is the place to go for live jazz performances alongside your eggs Benedict. Grab a seat near the stage, start with a thick square of coffee cake with a scoop of honey butter for the table, then dig into hearty brunch plates including shakshuka with polenta, buttermilk biscuits and gravy, and a fried chicken sandwich doused in chipotle aioli. Keep an eye on the weekend music schedule to see what bands are playing during brunch hours." - Erika Adams
"Few better spots for jazz and blues in Boston. The drinks at the Beehive are also exceptional, and the decor conjures jazz clubs from the first half of the 20th century." - Eater Staff
