The Beehive Tavern & Grille

Didn’t eat here just went to see a band. The place was packed and they just kept letting people in. Wife said ladies room was dirty. We had to stand the whole time I feel they maybe could have made better arrangements for seating. Couldn’t get to the bar so used a waitress who was absolutely fantastic ran her butt off I wish I would have gotten her name to mention it. All in all an ok time.

Least favorite bar in stc however they do have pool. Which is the only reason I come here.

The Nacho plate I had was better than expected. The staffers are welcoming as well.

Multi generational fun!
I love this place for lunch and early evening. Nice relaxing atmosphere. Good food, non-​rushed yet attentive and friendly service. Have taken my family here. Kids enjoy video golf game and touchtunes juke box.
Late night, walked in with some 40-​something friends and there were panicked looks from members of the capacity crowd, as if someone’s parents just busted a high school kegger. Not insinuating that management serves under 21, just that the average age decreases by 50 pct after 10. Good for them. They have quality taste, which means there is hope for the next generation.
Put this place on your list for a weekend afternoon bar crawl, catch a game on ample TV’s or a great afternoon hideaway for midweek «off site meeting».

My husband and I went in on a Monday night, so it wasn’t terribly busy. There are 2 entrances. One off route 64 and one in the back. There’s tons of public parking in the back, so that’s the way we came in. It has more of a restaurant feel in the back, and more of a bar feel in the front. We were able to get a table right away and the waitress came over within minutes.
I ordered a long island because it was a Monday and it was only $ 3.50! They have some great drink specials (see picture below). We ordered the cheese curds as an appetizer and they don’t skimp on the amount. They were good, but nothing amazing. But, we enjoyed them nonetheless.
I ordered the pork belly tacos and they were amazing. To be honest, I wasn’t expecting super, but I was proven wrong. I basically inhaled my food. The tacos were rich and delicious. Whoever is making them, knows what they are doing. It came with a side of corn which was refreshing.
For what it is, this place ranks pretty high in my books. I would go back, just for the pork belly tacos.
My only complaints: #1 It was dark and I wish there were some more windows or that they would uncover the front windows with all the posters. #2 the place where we were sitting, I think was not level. I tried a couple different chairs and everything was still uneven. #3 When I asked for a beer menu, she said «it changes all the time. we don’t have a menu». Ok. well get a menu and print a new one out all the time, then.

This place has very good sandwiches and a good beer selection. They have outdoor seating during the summer months. They get busy on the weekend evenings so you may have a wait. Also, parking is very difficult to find so you may have to walk a distance.

Giving this three stars for the food. It was simply average. Although the menu was more extensive than expected at a bar, food lacked seasoning balance. Décor was very nice the place has more space than you expect from the outside. Very affordable meal.

Enjoyed a meal at The Beehive for a special event. I’d say my overall experience was 3 stars– however, I really appreciated the fact that they hosted this event for my friend, were willing to donate 15% of proceeds, and seeing the bartenders explain the event to the people that were just there for a Blackhawks game– and talking to them about donating.
Now for my real review. The restaurant/​pub was extremely busy the time we visited. There were definitely not enough servers, but those who were working were doing a great job with how busy it was. It took quite awhile to get our order taken, but from there the process was speedy. Refills came of our sodas without asking, and the food we ordered was good. I couldn’t decide what I wanted so I ordered an appetizer sampler– I love that they do their sampler so you can choose which appetizers you want from a list. I tried the onion rings (absolutely excellent), portobello fries, and chicken fingers. I enjoyed them all. We did feel like the menu was kind of unusual– lots of things that did not really seem to connect to one another– but people seemed to be enjoying their food at all of the other tables. I don’t know that I will be rushing back to the Beehive– but I would not mind going back to try another meal in the future.

I would give it zero stars if i could. Clientele is bad, bad, bad. Stay away from this place.

My wife and stopped in while in town. Staff immediately acknowledged us even though the place was slow at an off hour on a Saturday afternoon. They served us well the whole time we were there
We didn’t order drinks, only interested I food. I ordered a simple cheeseburger and my wife ordered a fish sandwich. Both were good, came with tater tots served promptly. Server made sure we had all we needed several times.
All in all I’d rate the food as average which is the reason for the four star rating. Nothing out of the ordinary here. But we will return. I’d recommend that give it a try.

Went with my boyfried and his friends who are from or used to live a considerable portion of their existance in St. Charles. I really enjoyed the beehive. It gets sooooo packed when the kids come home for Christmas, liiiiike super packed. I met some girls in the bathroom from Texas who were really nice and I always wonder if I’ll run into them next Christmas? Lol, oh gawwwd, I’m a creep. Aha, the Beehive is fun. Go here.

The Beehive has a friendly staff and great service. The Friday fish fry is delicious and the drinks are pretty affordable. I’d also recommend any of the appetizers. Plus, it’s located in the heart of downtown Saint Charles. Great for dinner and drinks after work!

Left the neighboring place to o walk over here. Great food. Outstanding service. Bartender even bought us a beer even tho we ordered the wrong thing as a means to make it right. Might be my new fav spot in St. Charles!

Yummy Yum Yum. Staff is friendly good bar food nice atmosphere. Recommend Portebello fries as an app green pepper soup and tilapia avocado salad.

This place is schizophrenic. During the day — relaxed, easy-​going and quiet so that you can actually get something to eat. During the night — massive high school reunion party. Having said that, the food is of good quality and the service is really good. Drink selection is alright, nothing out of the ordinary. The prices can be a bit steep though. Overall, not a bad place to get some drinks on the weekend.

This is a great community bar with a fun, laid back atmosphere and friendly, attentive staff.
I sat at the bar, watched the Blackhawks game and dined on Beehive’s fish tacos. The tacos were very good — much better than typical bar fare. The fish had great flavor and the rice served with the dish was a tasty, pleasant surprise.
I recommend this place as a casual spot to relax and watch a game over a couple of beers with friends.

This review is based on the bar experience only, as I have not yet tried their food. One of these visits I will, but given that I’ve been here three times to belly up to the bar, I figured I owed them a review.
I’m admittedly a little spoiled when it comes to beer selection, because I have a couple of places nearby that offer quite a spread of taps, but I have to hand it to the Hive, they make good use of a relatively small number of taps. They have had both Revolution’s Anti-​Hero and Goose Island’s Green Line on tap each time I’ve been there. Any place that does that deserves some props.
After I’ve had the chance to try the food, I’ll have to update this review, because if the food’s any good, this is probably a 4 star place. I love the atmosphere, and the bartenders have always been nice.

No complaints about the Beehive. Nothing «rockstar» about this place, but it’s fun, clean and the bartenders are really friendly.
Younger crowd. Standard bar atmosphere. Would definitely head in for a beer again the next time I’m in town.

This is a great place to have drinks and appetizers. The staff is friendly and there is lots of seating. The prices are great. The beer selection is decent. Our appetizer (fried cheese) was good, but the sandwiches were very disappointing. The reuben was tiny and the hamburger came out on a non-​grilled generic bun. I would skip a full meal next time, but still spend time drinking here.

This was either the first or second stop on our St. Charles bar crawl. The night was a blur, so I’m not 100% sure. I know we started here and it all began with a bang.
I’m definitely a big city guy, but there’s a charm about St. Charles that you can’t find anywhere else. I had a great time and the Beehive is in the middle of it all.
I like that there’s a lot of space to spread out. They have food and a huge bar. The bartenders were all really cool and despite not being a shots guy, they seemed to find ones that I enjoyed.
