About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Good for groups
  • Great for creative cocktails
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.

    Beatnik’s vibe is always on point. The room is filled with color and texture. It’s perfect to showcase the creative cuisine. We loved our cocktails and mocktails. It was a great way to begin our meal. Appetizers, salads and entrees were all fantastic. Service seemed a little off. Our server offered no personality and disappeared quite often. We had to have other staff go look for him for us. Ugh… Overall, it was a very nice evening.

    Food was good. Service was not good. Our server stopped checking on us after entrees were served. The food runners were yelling at us when the food arrived and told us to put our hands up for each item delivered. Took forever for the bill to come out and I had to ask after not being helped. And no one thanked us on our way out. The whole service was a let down.

    The ambiance COULD HAVE BEEN A FIVE. The restaurant is gorgeous…except for the 3 MASSIVE TVS. What is this supposed to be? The Draft Kings of Morocco? Everything was so well decorated and well thought out and then BAM. March Madness while you are enjoying a $75 lamb feast. Pick a lane.

    Music was a little too loud to have group conversations. But the venue and food were amazing.
