My husband and I spent the weekend in Boston and had the most wonderful experience at the Beehive. It was the best and most personal service we have ever experienced and both the food and cocktails were outstanding. I would highly recommend the Beehive to anyone traveling to Boston.

Was seated behind a pillar that blocked the stage so we weren’t allowed to see the show. Steak was over seared. Waitstaff was attentive. A bit of a language barrier though trying to explain how my steak was over cooked. I would like to return in the future and give this place another shot.

We waited for our table for 15 min even though we had a reservation. The food did not meet our expectations. We were there for Father’s Day brunch. Shakshuka was poorly done served with cold polenta. The menu was not versatile at all comparing toothers trips there throughout the years. Although service was good we will not be back as food was disappointing.

Sadly disappointed in the brunch at the Beehive. We have been going to the Beehive for years. First time back since the pandemic. Server was not friendly, a bit snarky. Tried to rush us along while only a few tables had patrons. Food arrived cold, and nothing special. Eggs Benedict had no flavor at all to the sauce. Zucchini was uncooked and diced. Others ordered the American breakfast. $25 per dish is steep for two eggs, sausage and toast. Understand the cost of seated inside with live music but… outside, needs to improve.

We went to Beehive for a return visit on our Anniversary for the Sunday Jazz Brunch. We booked well in advance. When we got there, we were seated behind a brick column which meant we couldn't see the band. When we asked for a table with a better view, the hostess brought us to a table in another room very far away from the music. When I said the first table was better (not great, but better than the second choice), she took us back there, threw the menus on the table without speaking or looking at us, and walked away. The good news is our waitress was excellent and the food was very good. The music and food were worth coming for, but without being able to see the musicians, it was only half an experience.

Every time I go back to the Beehive I remember how much I love it. The food is delicious and interesting, without any pretension. The staff are always so friendly - and it was clear they were understaffed. We sat outside this time and it was roomy and relaxing. Way to go, Beehive ❇️💚❇️

We went for the jazz brunch, which was honestly a bit of a let-down. The food was expensive and portions were small. We paid $25 for one slice of avocado toast with smoked salmon. The music was very off and on with musicians taking very long breaks… we were there for about an hour and a half, with probably 30-45 mins of actual jazz being played. And when it was playing, musicians seemed more into conversing with each other about improvising rather than actually preforming. Very “we’re sitting in on their practice” vibes.

Excelent price for your money. Can't go wrong with the Beehive. One of my favorite places in Boston. Make sure to make your reservations in advance. Slight peeve: the live music starts at 10:00 pm unless announced otherwise and the reservation only lasts for 1 hr 30 min. Your best booking time for dinner would be 9:30-10 pm

My gf and I had reservation for 2. We got the table on the balcony facing the stage and the projector. We were welcomed by a super nice server who gave us food and drink recommendations! We picked ricotta as starter, glaze pork shoulder with mushrooms and polenta, and brisket with potatoes! Highly recommended!

Tries to be both a music venue and a restaurant. Food excellent but in a rowdy bar atmosphere making music inaudible.
