    Went here for brunch on a Sunday. Arrived a little early for our 11:15am reservation but were able to be seated quickly. First time at the Beatnik West Town location and the atmosphere is amazing! It does feel smaller than Beatnik on the River and slightly more casual, but the vibe is very similar. The drinks were fantastic! I had the Mamu Vida (which was perfect for brunch!) and my husband had a Pina Colada served in a coconut, which was a fun surprise. For food, I had the Shakshuka (very flavorful and tasty!) and my husband had the Egg Sandwich, which he enjoyed but said he'd definitely try something different next time. Service was excellent, staff was very friendly and accommodating, and they even had a live DJ. Would highly recommend!

    This has a very cool atmosphere. Leans toward Indian flavors. Not my partners favorite but I loved the skirt steak. Flourless chocolate cake was so good!
