The BEEch is Open

The Beehive in Boston’s South End Opens New Dining Plaza Using Picnic Concept

(Boston, MA) – Imagine unfolding a picnic basket filled with gourmet items, sipping wine, sangria, and cocktails among warm summer breezes; while people watching in one of Boston’s hottest neighborhoods. Thanks to the Beehive…this will now be a reality.

May 17, 2008 marks both the close of the first year in business for the South End’s uber dining and live music hotspot “The Beehive”, as well as the official opening of “The BEEch” - The Beehive’s unique take on outdoor dining in Boston. “We wanted to do something that was unique, fresh and offered something completely different to the outdoor dining experience in Boston,” said Jack Bardy Co-owner of The Beehive.

When the “BEEch” - the Beehive’s 80 seat out door dining addition officially opens on Saturday May 17 at 10:30AM on the Boston Center for the Arts Plaza - it will focus on an “urban picnic theme” in which diners will be seated and handed a menu of freshly prepared casual gourmet items to choose from. Once customers have selected their items, the wait staff will return with these culinary treasures in packages and jars along with fresh bread tucked in picnic baskets to share.

The BEEch will run this concept seven days a week from 5:00PM to 11:00PM serving items such as Lobster Cocktail ($18), Spiced Hummus with olive oil, lemon and tahini ($9) and Picnic Chicken ($14), as well as a weekend Brunch from 10:30AM – 3:00PM with a decidedly more “brunchy” approach in fare (Menu TBA). A full bar menu will be offered along with pitchers of Sangria, Margaritas and Spiked Ice-T, and no reservations are accepted…so just like the real beach you’ll have to find a spot on your own!

*The BEEch opens officially on May 17, 2008 at 10:30AM and in classic “kitch” - or what has become true Beehive nature, the opening will be co-promoted by the Boston’s Derby Dames in full skate attire skating throughout the South End and signing autographs on site! H-e-l-l-o Summer!!! (Derby Dames on site 12:00AM – 2:00PM, 4:00PM – 7:00PM)
