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.

  • Wedding Planner & Bonhomme Group Bride Review

    •Ashley Best•May 15, 2024

    Beatnik West Town is one of my favorite venues in Chicago -- and that says a lot as I am a Wedding Planner! The decor is jaw droppingly stunning, the food & drinks are of the best quality and taste unreal, and the Bonhomme Group team makes the planning/wedding day a breeze. It's the best spot to get married if you're looking to host a unique, beautifully designed wedding and/or if you're a foodie. I personally love the Bonhomme Group experience so much that I had my own micro wedding at Celeste, a sister venue to Beatnik West Town.

  • Dreamy Venue!

    This venue is one of the top venues in Chicago and I absolutely love working with them. It is a one stop shop with stunning decor and lush foliage that make every picture magical. The events team is a dream to work with. They anticipate every need and the ease of service is perfection. On top of this, the food is insanely delicious! The vendor meal is the best I have ever had! All of the couples I have worked with at Beatnik always end their night in such happiness. Highly recommend!
