An exotic neighborhood escape with globetrotting cuisine, tropical cocktails, bohemian interiors, and a great place to watch sports in Chicago’s West Town.

Named after the Bohemian freethinkers of the 1950s and ’60s, Beatnik West Town channels the Beatnik generation’s sense of style, aspiration, and rebellion to create an exotic escape with maximalist interiors and lush gardens.

Mirroring our design-through-storytelling whimsy, Beatnik’s culinary team takes guests on a globetrotting journey that starts in the Eastern Mediterranean, moves westward across Northern Africa and finishes across the Atlantic with the flavors of Mexico.

Beatnik’s beverage team makes tropical cocktails that are savory and fresh, with inventive recipes that follow a no-waste sensibility. Our wine list is a compact attaché that contains the story of winemakers who make wine in lesser-known regions of the Mediterranean and the Americas.

    We dined as a group of 14 people and the whole team was so accommodating and attentive to us despite how large we were! It was very spacious and we were not rushed or crowded in at all. I had to give a 3 overall because of the food and value. I thought the food was extremely overpriced and for most of the dishes a small amount of food given the price. I would highly recommend all of the spreads, and most everything I tasted was tasty, but given the price I did not think it was worth it. I feel like this place is made for being a corporate expensed meal

    Food and drinks were incredible. Service was slow, but it may be because of staff shortages.

    This was the first time at this location and really enjoyed it, liked it even more than the one on Wacker. The food was really delicious I especially enjoyed the cinnamon roll. $7 for a cup of coffee is excessive and as my friend said charging cappuccino prices for black coffee is too much. Please get a cappuccino maker.

    Poor service. And the server we had doesn’t acknowledge even the basic concepts of what woild be good service— of how to approach, engage and address the table, what advice might be given about the menu and specifically whether entrees will come out together or 20 minutes apart, how to proceed courteously with ordering, what is and is not a professional or courteous and appropriate tone and manner, etc. — so it’s really not even worth talking with the server about what would improve their service, you will only precipitate an aggressive confrontation. Just don’t expect to be treated in a well-mannered fashion, and heads up that entrees will not come out together nor will you be informed of this at any point. Ambience is pleasant. Food itself is fine, still a bit inflated relative to value, but I don’t mean to quibble too much there. Two modest brunch entrees (waffle and shakshuka/eggs poached in spicy tomato sauce), one side of falafel, a coffee and a bloody mary come out to $100 before tip.
