the beehive

The beehive is a neat little spot in the South End, serving up moderately-priced fare in a sexy dimly-lit area coated in velvet and damask with live jazz pumping away on a daily basis. On weekend nights, be sure to get there early, as there is always a looong line out the door for entrance.

We headed in from the windy & chilly wet night and were greeted with a not-too-crowded festively-lit seating area so we could order nibbles as well as delicious drinks. 

The ladies began with Queen Bees: vodka, super fresh grapefruit juice, St. Germaine, and a splash of champagne...
 

While the gents went with the Beehive honey brew served in these cute little honeycomb/root beer barrel mugs!
 

As we sipped our drinks & nibbled on our calamari, poutine, bluefish dip which was like a pâté , and burger, the band began to play down below.
 

Downstairs is definitely where to go if you are looking for the live music with a livelier crowd. With more chandeliers and even less windows, the basement is perfect for a night out.

The beehive is one of the few places in the city that always promises a successful night. With tasty, but strong, cocktails in a laid-back mood-lit space, the lines are worth the wait.

bully boy speakeasy

On Friday, Bully Boy Distillers threw a secret 1-year birthday speakeasy party. Being registered on the list with a prohibition-style password got you through the doors at the Waterworks Museum. The venue was incredible, usually the museum closes at 4pm but they re-opened from 7pm-11pm for the party. There was a DJ that played swing and mixed the music to make you feel like you were back in the prohibition era. Some bites were passed around, but the main reason why everyone was there...an unlimited open bar with 5 choices including their organic vodka, organic whiskey, and white rum.

Unfortunately we had to leave early to be reunited with Erin, but the event was fantastic, and we can't wait for the next one!!

We headed home to Erin and my visiting parents. A rainy Saturday revolved around drinks and apps of sliders and escargot at Marliave with friends, dinner at Mamma Maria, and an assortment of desserts to go from Mike's Pastry.
