About this venue

Beatnik is an exotic neighborhood escape. Named after the bohemian freethinkers of the 1950s and ’60s, Beatnik channels the beatnik generation’s sense of style, aspiration and rebellion to create an exotic escape with maximalist interiors, lush gardens, tropical cocktails & Mediterranean cuisine. Mirroring our design-through-storytelling whimsy, our culinary team takes guests on a globetrotting journey through the Middle East with the exciting spices of Lebanon, Jordan, & Israel; moving westward across Northern Africa & finishing across the Atlantic with the flavors of Mexico. Our beverage program features savory & fresh cocktails via inventive recipes that follow a no-waste sensibility. Our wine list is an artful amalgamation of wines that are progressive, fun & urge your sense of adventure with every sip. The contrasting styles & textures of Beatnik West Town feature antique pieces from around the world & more than hundreds of living plants throughout the 6,000 square ft space.
