Beatnik West Town Chicago Reviews from The Last Year
Booked a resy for 7:30 for our anniversary.
Came early to have a glass of wine at good funk (which was awesome). But then headed over to beatnik for our dinner. Got seated at the bar next to the dj (instead of actual restaurant) and waited over an hour and still no one took our order. We ended up calling another restaurant while we were there that was able to seat us right away so left at 8:30 without ever even getting a chance to order food,
worst service ever. Can't comment on the food since we never got any.
We had dinner reservations for two at 7:30. We were sat at the bar right next to the DJ. Had to wait around 20 min to even get water and put in our drink orders. After a full hour we still hadn't put in our food order. We ended up calling another restaurant while we waited and left at 8;30 without getting a chance to even order food.
Everything was bursting with flavor.
We also got the ribs & the chicken. Soooooo flavorful. Drinks made well too.
A nice return visit
We ate here a couple of times back when it first opened and enjoyed ourselves and just returned after a couple of year absence. The layout had changed (some of the old space is now occupied by "Good Funk" a wine bar) but the feeling and ambiance are the same. We thoroughly enjoyed the Baba Ganoush and the Hummus, both were different than the usual/traditional preparation but were very tasty. Next we tried the Halloumi and the oyster mushroom kebab. The kebab was excellent, the Halloumi was good by my least favorite course. We were planning on ordering some fish dishes next but we were too full to eat any more. The tamarind margarita was excellent. All in all a good return visit to Beatnik.
I've been here a couple times now, both with groups larger
I've been here a couple times now, both with groups larger than 6. The first time we received better service than the second time. The second to me was 6 days ago and the server was friendly, he just didn't come by nearly as often as he should've. The food is always pretty great. This time, I got the double cheeseburger and it was so juicy and delicious! The fries were good too. I also had a Saturn, which was their cocktail with gin, so refreshing! Parking is easy to find around this location.
The vibe was right especially dining in the sun room.
If you're having brunch it's a must to request to be seated in the front sun room. It doesn't seem right eating in the back dark dark room during the day. The food was delicious! I would pass one their side of fries though. It lacked flavor and was the soggy type. Everyone enjoyed their entrees- avocado toast added bacon, granola and yogurt, the winter squash breakfast bowl, mezze board, tuna crudo, and falafel. We enjoyed the ahi tuna and falafel as an appetizer. The server could have visited our table more often to check in on us. Our main brunch entrees came out oddly one at a time so we didn't quite get to enjoy our meals all at once without starting ahead and/or wait. I had iced tea and wasn't offered a refill. Their coconut speciality cocktail was a let down, they ran out of the fresh coconut by noon. We were done with our meal for a bit waiting for our check. Service was the only thinking lacking especially while giving a 20% tip + the 3% surcharge. I would come back with less expectations if it was just me and one person but this time I had out of town guests I was treating out to enjoy one last brunch in Chicago.
It's hard not to notice the bohemian ambiance when you
It's hard not to notice the bohemian ambiance when you first walk in and then seeing all the plants. It was really cool. We were sat in the back so we had a chance to walk through it all and then while seated it was nice to take it all in all the while immersed in conversation with great friends. They recommended family style so we were with it. The standouts were the short rib tagine (by far for me) followed by the yellowtail tiradito. The server was on top of things but the staff was overzealous trying to clear our table before we were done eating. Without exaggeration, we had to shoo them away at least 5 times. It started to become annoying. Otherwise, it was a lovely evening.
We've always liked this place - great service and a
We've always liked this place - great service and a beautiful bohemian ambiance, especially for fellow plant lovers! - but have only been for dinner, so we finally stopped in for brunch recently and absolutely devoured everything we ordered. If you haven't been for brunch, do yourself a favor and correct that! The GM, Evan is awesome - he came and introduced himself, walked us through the recently updated brunch menu, and showed us the new Good Funk natural wine bar space adjacent to the restaurant. For brunch we split the smoked salmon dip, mezze platter, avocado toast, chicken and waffles, and shakshuka (my personal favorite. get this with the sausage!!) The bread pudding as the brunch "dessert" was also melt-in-your-mouth good. Thanks Evan and team - my husband and I are already planning our next brunch date here!
came for a birthday party of 6 and brought a birthday cake.
Food was just ok appetizers were good but very small and there was a long period of time as each was being served. Ordered 4 entrée and all over salted and very small for the dollar amount so with the tip we spent 450.00 and by the way they wouldn't let us cut the cake, they needed to do it for 30.00 extra.As for the ambiance , beautiful restaurant and service was fine but for all 6 people very disappointed in the food .
Welcome to your next vacation! From the moment you walk
Welcome to your next vacation! From the moment you walk through the door at beatnik, you immediately feel like you've stepped into a Mediterranean escape. The eclectic decor transports you to an adventurous foodie experience. With a creative cocktail list and delicious dinner menu, your taste buds will most definitely not be disappointed. I'm doing a dry January so for this visit, I opted for one of there several non-alcoholic options. (But I'll be back to taste their other cocktails which I watched them make several and they look beautiful in creation and sound fantastic). I tried the snooze button which was a coffee lovers dream! For our meal we kicked off with the baba ganoush which was amazing! Beautifully plated but tasted even better than it looks. I love a dish that includes pomegranate seeds and pine nuts. To compliment our spread, we also ordered the ceviche which might be the best ceviche I've had anywhere in chicago. If you love tuna ceviche, this is a must try! For our main, we went with the steak kebab. Perfectly cooked and paired with walnut muhammara and chemen chimichurri. It's sure to satisfy your appetite. I'm already looking forward to my next visit!
While overpriced, the food was decent.
What wasn't acceptable was the aftermath. I was getting up from the table after the meal and hit my head on a large, sharp, wood overhang. Right by the table. It shouldn't have been so low and I can't imagine I was the first to hit it. It wasn't a graze. It knocked me back. Sharply. I was stunned and later called the restaurant to let them know. Nobody answered. They were open. Nobody picked up. Left a message. No response. Nothing. Tried multiple times so that others don't concuss the way I did. While I didn't need stitches, it bled and left a welt that is still prominent two days later. Headache lingers. Poor form and frankly, not not only poor service, but a safety risk.
I'd read good things about Beatnik West Town, so was eager
I'd read good things about Beatnik West Town, so was eager to visit on a recent weekday evening.The food was good, but the ambiance, yikes -- not my scene! VIBE: 1*. Dimly lit would be an understatement. Way too dark for me. I don't get why restaurants with good food don't turn the lights up so diners can appreciate it. Then there was the pounding beat of the dance music. Unpleasant. SERVICE: 3*. Staff were courteous and helpful (though I occasionally had trouble understanding them over the music and noise from other diners). There were a couple of delays in getting drinks and food, but overall it was OK. FOOD: 3.5*. Baby Gem salad had an interesting mix of ingredients and good flavor, though it was creamier than I prefer. Feta stuffed dates were a winner, nicely balanced and delicious. Chicken Musakhan was nice, with excellent flavors. Broccolini tasted fine, but was undercooked, with tough stems. There was a good selection of wines, including a few by the glass. Dark, noisy restaurants are not my thing. I won't be back, good food not withstanding. My dining companion summed it up succinctly as we departed: "I couldn't wait to get out of there!"
Food: 8/10 Full flavors and seasoned well.
The menu is very typical Mediterranean and not anything too out of the ordinary. The summer squash was delicious but made with a lot of oil. The drinks were refreshing but made with lots of ice. Service: 9/10 Service is very standard. Our waitress was full of personality and easy to talk to. She did not mention that the pita bread refill was extra but it was only $3 so not a big deal. Ambiance: 10/10 Darkly lit with yellow light from chandeliers and candles. The music was at a nice level and there was a DJ but I think he was there just for show. Overall a great ambiance and would be a great date night spot. I would recommend coming here for big groups. This restaurant is also super causal.
Interesting ethic cuisine
The food and service was very good. The interior of the restaurant was very interesting and was expecting belly dancers to perform (there were none). Despite being on a quiet weekday the place was no very busy, but the music was far to loud for the few dining patrons.
Meh and ouch on the pocketbook
The evening started out a little frustrating - we had reserved a table, received multiple messages asking us to confirm, only to wait a half hour past our table time at a crowded bar where it was hard to get a beverage. Then they proceeded to rush us throughout our meal because they wanted to turn the table again. The food was good, not great; interesting-ish menu but you'd probably get better food at an actual Middle Eastern restaurant; heavy on carbs and fat. Ambiance felt a bit theme-park-y, with loud music more suited to a club. Expensive for what it was. If you are looking for Mediterranean food in West Town, go to Marrakech on W. Chicago Ave. instead.

Agreed. Ultimately not addressing this month after month is clearly resulting in a drop in certain venue’s rankings & sales.

Working on your bid? |
Your bid has been “matched” with a reservation. From the time a reservation has been located, the seller of the reservation must connect with moderator to give transfer information for reservation. If the seller;however, does NOT respond to reservation transfer, then your bid is reprocessed and returns to the first step, which is connecting your request to a reservation.
Process after bid is accepted. |
Hey @EvocativeFold67, welcome to appointmenttrader! Once the reservation is in your portfolio, you definitely own the timeslot, the review team would not have approved the trade if the reservation wasn't confirmed - so you are going :-) Judging from your post you bid today and are going tomorrow - don't worry as long as you initiated the name transfer, you are good - the transfer service has to work with the opening hours of the reservation team of the respective venue. You will likely see the transfer confirmation a couple hours before your reservation time.
Where do the Reservations on AppointmentTrader come from? |
Mostly from people who don't need their reservations or appointments any longer. AT has no relationship with places listed and acts as a platform connecting buyers and sellers making sure that listed reservations are real and that privacy is not compromised when transacting.
What happens if my bid expires unanswered? |
Hey @FluffyStar64, thanks for the question! When you place your bid the amount gets transferred in a deposit account, the second you either cancel your bid or a few minutes after the bid expires the funds are moved back into your main account from where you can refund it to your payment method or use for other transactions.

This app is a catfish and overrun by people programming “bots” and algorithms. It makes it frustrating for someone not well versed in this to have any movement. I thought this would be a fun side hustle, but unfortunately it’s become like any other “side hustle”. Don’t waste your time with this crap. Not a question, just a suggestion. Also don’t pay these fake “gurus” hundreds of dollars to teach you. Might as well sign up for a software class. 😕
