About

Beat Kitchen pairs an American bar menu with a back-room stage for rock shows and underground comedy; a recent visitor specifically praised the vegan nachos. The front bar has booths and a separate, more relaxed feel, while sold-out shows can get packed, and reviewers report quick drink service even on busy nights.
