“Beat Kitchen is the kind of venue that makes you proud to live in a city. Just an old school rock venue that feels clean and well cared for, while also having the dark, dirty dive bar vibe. Exactly what you want out of a rock venue. The staff are awesome from top to bottom, and their food is way better than you might expect. I’ve gone to shows here, played shows here, and hung out for no reason here…and it’s always a good time.”
“Went for the dark wave 80s night. Thought it might have been a cover band but it was just a dj playing songs and videos. Glad the tickets were free”
“Listening to bike thief at beaf kitchen transcends the chicago bar experience”
“I've been going to Beat Kitchen for shows for over a decade now, and it has always been a good time. This time was for empire! empire!(I was a lonely estate) and Joie De Vivre. It was a sold out show, packed place, but I was still able to get drinks quickly and had a great time, as usual.”
“Fun punk rock venue. Feels classic. Hope places like this never close”
“Got to see cheerleader Roadkill for the first time it was great food was good”
“Fun spot to attend band and comedy gigs. We attended the Chicago Underground Comedy Show and had a blast. Upstairs area has its' own bar but it was not open tonight. The drinks were great, and atmosphere was great! Definitely would return!”
“I’ve been here before but never had the food (we got a burger and salad) and it was dope! Heard mid things about the brunch but never tried it. Went to see my girl Ryann play in her band Weekend Run Club for a Monday show but it was still litty!!!!🤘🤪and the staff is nice. Lovely little neighborhood bar and venue!😄”
