About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Charming
  • Good for groups
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.

    The service was great. The place is beautiful and the vibes were nice. The drinks were perfectly crafted and the food was amazing. Would recommend the lamb feast and the mango dessert!

    Food and service were great. But the music was too loud. We had to scream at each other to have a conversation. I understand the vibe and love the type of music and energy but the volume was too much.

    Drinks came after the food and the food came out one by one. When I walked in no one was there to take me to my reservation. Highly unorganized.

    This is not the pre-covid place. Too much tequila in a bad way, and the food is in that same direction. Not enough variety. Where is the rum? We couldn't taste any rum in our rum drinks. Won't be back.

    Loved the vibe and had good service. Food was average for the price. Bummed they didn’t have non alcoholic drinks on happy hour, only alcoholic cocktails.

    Great food and ambiance, once the DJ started up, brunch got a little odd.

    I was there 2019 and now 2025 and it’s not the same lower I felt like the amazing experience has gone low lower then it should for a place for the kind of prices and fame.
