This is the best bar I have ever seen and the outside has graffiti of a hive which makes sense because the name of the place is the hive after all

First time at this establishment just yesterday and we had an amazing time. They were still under light construction, but the ambulance and mood was great. The music was awesome. The bartending staff was outstanding! Very attentive to both me and my husband; as well as all the other guest. I was informed it wasn't even as packed as normal by regulars. I totally recommend this place fantastic! Special shout out to out Bartender, Sebastian. Excellent. Next time we have to try the food

Place itself is a little small but it packs a lot of excitement in the minimal space. We popped in after dinner for a drink and had a great time. Bartenders were attentive for as crowded as it was. Parking isn't great. Love that it reminds me of Meltzerw sporting goods that used to be in the block years ago. Anyway yeah this spot is good. Music was loud crowd was young and vibrant. Would definitely come back.

Taco Tuesday at the Hive is where you want to be! But I'm sure any day will be just as great. They have happy hour specials as well as daily specials. Todays specials were perfect for Taco Tuesday! I highly recommend the crispy chicken tacos, Thai chicken tacos, and filet steak tacos. Aside from the tacos the beef & cheese empanadas were delicious! The vibes are also great and they have DJs on certain nights. I definitely can't wait to come back now that the weather is warmer! Staff is great and super friendly!

I love their shrimp tacos! All the food I've had from their seems to be fresh. We celebrated my friends birthday. Definitely recommend reserving a table if you have a group going. They have one bathroom per gender which was very inconvenient. The line for the ladies room held 10+ people at one point. If you don't care about that, their food and drinks are very good - music was on point too. On the weekend night, their parking lot gets filled so please be sure to get their early. 4 stars because of the bathroom situation.

I always end up at this bar. The drinks are strong, the food is delicious and the music is always on point. It's a party. I got the chicken tacos but with shrimp, soo good! Always hits the spot. I recommend the tequila or vodka lemonade for drinks. It's small but quint, everyone seems to come back. Recommend for a good time with friends.
