It all starts with great food and great service. Add on the very cool vibe and excellent live jazz and you've got a winning formula. Highly recommended.

Go for late night drinks or a fun brunch. Always have a live band - lots of fun! Get the short rib eggs Benedict and French toast at brunch! No questions asked.

Had the Valentino cocktail, Bao tacos, fall off the bone ribs and fries. Great service & food came out super quick. Loved everything ESPECIALLY RIBS. The glaze on it was so good.

This place is got all what I’m looking for ! Good food and live Jazz !😍 give “ pineapple coconut coffee cake” and “bread budding” a try if you’re into sweet things.

St. Cloud or the Queen Bee if you like vodka. Their house brew is also excellent! Jazzy atmosphere, great place for a drink and live music

Great atmosphere and very delicious variety of new American and Italian food. Spring salad and the swordfish were wonderful. Night shift that was on tap was dynamite. Ryan you are a great bartender!

Stellar cocktails and wonderful entrees with great ambiance and live jazz. If you like bourbon, try the Hi Ho signature cocktail - it's a dream!

Went for Jazz brunch on a cold Saturday morning. All tables were taken but there was plenty of room at the downstairs bar for our group of 7. Fun & cozy atmosphere. Try the shakshuka!
Katrina EliseJanuary 15, 2015
Great for dates. On Mondays, the live reggae band is the best! The ambience downstairs is perfect. I'm a sucker for dim lights and funky design aesthetics. The staff are super nice too!

Jazz and craft cocktails take over this French-inspired, speakeasy bistro. Available for brunch, lunch and dinner. Take home a souvenir. All artwork on the walls are available for purchase!

(Best of Boston 2013-DINNER WITH LIVE MUSIC) Improper Bostonian says, "What's special about the Beehive is its level of immersion. Claim a cafe table at the edge of the stage if you want to feel."

Been here 10+ times
Jazz brunch, smoked salmon is best in town, eggs Bennie short rib for the meat and green shakshuka for the greens 👌

There aren't enough things to say about the beehive. Can't go wrong with their house honey brew and famous short rib grilled cheese. Squid ink specials are A+ when they have 'em.

It's fall and I'm FALLING in love with their pumpkin coffee cake and honey butter! Best appetizer on the menu (yes, I ordered all of them).

One of my favorite places in Boston. Great food, cocktails and friendly staff and of course amazing jazz every night 😊
LaurenDecember 10, 2017
Small and crowded, but live music is nice and food is really good! Menu changes periodically. Had tasty French toast.
StacieDecember 30, 2016
Some of the best food and drinks I have ever had! Both brunch and dinner and great, friendly staff, great atmosphere, awesome live music

Live jazz music served with great food and cocktails. Go for Jazz brunch on the weekend or go on a Friday/Saturday night for music and drinks.

If you like your brunch with a jazzy twist, hoof it to this South End hot spot for eats and music. Snack on decadent poutine — cheese fries smothered in gravy and topped with eggs ($14). Read more

Went for the scene & found myself in Hipster Heaven. Band was outfitted in their thrift shop meets 1950 Havana garb. Even they seemed bored with their music (but ironically so). Grab a PBR & enjoy!

Panko crusted tuna dish is out of this world! One of my all time fav seared tuna dishes ever! Perfect blend of flavor representation!
Victoria U.September 6, 2014
Make a reservation as it's difficult to get in for Jazz brunch. Order the shaksuka and try to get one of their flavored butters.
Amy WelshMarch 24, 2014
Cute place, but I personally don't think the food is anything to write home about. To quote my own thoughts about the cod; "the vegetables were fresh". Says it all. Come for the atmosphere and music.
Manny BaezMay 25, 2014
This place is amazing. These Moroccan eggs are delicious. The atmosphere is gorgeous. Can I live here?
Laryssa HNovember 16, 2012
Jazz brunch on Sundays are amazing. This was one of, If not the best, dining experiences I've had since I moved here. The staff/service is exceptional.
Jenn VachonMarch 23, 2013
Everything was amazing! Calamari appetizer is big enough to share. Tokyo Rose cocktail and pots de creme were delicious!
Spencer SchoebenSeptember 6, 2015
very authentic jazz club in a cool area. don't mess with the outdoor seating. go inside. enjoy the music. be free
Laura ArcagniApril 6, 2012
Very cool place, check the time the band starts and get there a bit earlier to be able to have a quiet dinner and enjoy the music with a cocktail afterwards.
Christina VarrassoDecember 1, 2014
Lovely live jazz brunch, cute tables, amazing French toast and Short rib Poutine !
Kenneth TiongOctober 27, 2012
Eggs shakshuka with sausage. Great polenta, mixed well with spicy tomato and crunchy flatbread. Tomatoes could be slightly less chunky, but delicious! 4.75/5

Nice bar to drink and dance on a cool jazz band. One of my favorite when i go to Boston!
KatherineNovember 30, 2014
Great jazz music - try to get a seat farther from the music if you want to talk; also great cocktails!
Bill BOctober 28, 2012
1 of the best places in Boston, my wife & I visited tonight, the sole & lamb sausage truly outstanding. Live band diverse crowd
Kerry SemleMay 3, 2013
Get there early to avoid getting a rude waiter/waitress. Tonight the waitstaff was fabulous, but previous encounters have included very rude self-important staff. Worth it for the food and ambiance.
Jeremy KrantzAugust 19, 2014
Great food, great live music, great drinks and excellent atmosphere as well. Can't go wrong here!
Louis RMarch 17, 2010
Cool place to make new friends also the live music is surprisingly good. Optimal time to arrive is about 9-9:30 you should be able to find a spot at the downstairs bar. By 10:30 the place will be pack
Noah Ford-DunkerFebruary 9, 2016
Super hip place. Live music, great food and fantastic drinks. Try the honey beer.
Anuj GoyalOctober 17, 2010
Great food, awesome atmosphere, and most WONDERFUL service. Our server was so attentive and friendly, and manager came by personally after word had passed on that it was our first time.
David CarrNovember 9, 2018
Great cocktail program and live music downstairs. Very cool, cozy vibe.

Great, simple, satisfying comfort food with great live Jazz music makes The Beehive a place you just have to check out. Bonus, having a great time at very affordable prices.
