The prix fixe menu is 65 dollars. Apps include braised bacon, Mac & cheese, smothered fries, bruschetta, jambalaya, and more. Entrees: burgers, filet mignon, a veggie burger, salmon, meat bolognese, and vegan bolognese, as well as a chicken dish. Dessert: chocolate cake, vanilla cake, flourless chocolate cake, pumpkin cheesecake, and bread pudding. The Mac and cheese was gooey and indeed cheesy. The filet mignon was tender and a huge portion. The pumpkin cheesecake wasn't bad either. You're not going to get a gourmet meal here, but that's not why you're here. They have a few cocktails, nothing fancy or craft. Whatever I had smoked a lot and tasted okay. It was entertaining regardless. You're here for the performers. The actor playing Beetlejuice was phenomenal. Very rambunctious, outgoing. He sang, he told jokes. He addressed every table in the room. He also sat down with each table and had individual interactions. There was also an actor playing Bob. Server was attentive and also played into the show. The 65 bucks is a value for dinner and a show and the restaurant is located in the East Village, so tons of bars, restaurants, and shops to visit before or after. read more

Great atmosphere great characters - high energy! The White staff was very attentive The food was quite pricey as were the drinks, but that's expected. I would highly recommend the place if you were looking to have that Tim Burton/Beetlejuice experience read more

What better way to get into the Halloween season that a visit to beetle house? Themed based on the show Beetle Juice show and also has appearances from Edward Scissorhands! The drinks all have a spooky twist and a great presentation! We went on a weekday, as the weekends are probably super busy this time of year! If you make reservations, you will automatically enroll in their 3 course meal, but if you don't want to go with that option they grabbing a bar seat as it's walk in! . read more

My friends and I are big horror fans and I especially love a good themed bar or restaurant. We made reservations but didn't realize that you could ONLY order the preset menu. We wanted to drink and each order like one entree or an app with the drinks but didn't want the full set menu. We were told we could not do this and they removed us from the table. Luckily people were leaving the bar so we were able to move over there. So weird. We were still going to spend money on drinks and food so I don't understand why we could sit at the table but whatever. Drinks were fine but the best part of this place is the wonderful entertainment. Beetlejuice and Edward Sissorhands were both amazing! They made up for the odd policy, the ok drinks, and small bar area. Go see them!!! read more

Deliciousness - 3.5/5 Happiness - 5/5 This is a must-visit for fans of the macabre in New York. A really memorable dinner experience with great decor, singers/actors, and decent food. We happened to be there on "slasher" night, meaning Ghostface (from Scream), Michael Meyers (from Halloween) and Patrick Bateman (from American Psycho) were there to stalk and sing. They chose appropriate songs (Ghostface doing "Call Me Maybe" was my favorite) and interacted equally well with my kids as me. Hearing Meyers do a muffled through his mask rendition of "When I Come Around" drew legitimate laughter. And I was really impressed that the Bateman actor had printed out business cards for the audience members - I love that commitment to deep cut references (IYKYK). I spent plenty of time wandering the restaurant to look at the decor. And all of us from aged 9-41 had a really good time. The food is beautiful to look at and thoughtfully plated to match the theme (my favorite was gazpacho served in the skull of a baby - real Indiana Jones Temple of Doom vibes!). All of the food was just OK (a bit on the cold side and not much in the flavor department). But we were there more for the vibes and there are plenty of other NY options for foodies. So I don't mind getting some OK food for one meal in exchange for some fantastic vibes and a great time. I will give a shoutout to the drinks. My kids got a literal beetlejuice (juice with what I assume were fake insects inside) and I enjoyed a Frankenstein-themed drink that came with mist pouring out of it and served in a beaker and vial. Be prepared to spend a big chunk of cash between the dinner cost (prix fixe menu and price), extras (drinks and photos), and well earned tips by the performers. But it's NYC so this applies to basically everything in the Big Apple LOL. I would definitely visit this ghoulish haunt again! read more

Restaurant doesn't answer phone and near impossible to speak to an actual person. Do not give credit card to them as it is a scam. The restaurant makes it impossible to change your reservation because there voicemail box is full and they don't respond and than charge your credit card. A word to people making a reservation. Don't do it! As once they have your credit card it will be fraud from them. read more

My friends and I visited Beetle House earlier this year, and absolutely loved it! The decor was awesome, servers were attentive and quick with our orders, the performers entertained wonderfully, and the food was surprisingly delicious. Usually, with themed restaurants I find the food to be average or straight up bad, but Beetle House had truly delicious food. I enjoyed everything we had as part of our 3 course meal, which was such a good deal with nice sized portions. If you love spooky movies, themed restaurants, or Tim Burton, please do yourself a favor and visit Beetle House! read more

Food was good; I haven't had a good chocolate cake in a while. Salmon and mashed potatoes were really good. Out waiter Timmy was excellent, attentive and friendly; provided great service. We really liked that this place offered unlimited soda refills. Ambiance was very chill and loved the costumes (visited close to Halloween). There was a performance every half hour (Edward scissorhands was my fav!) Def worth a visit especially during the holiday. read more

Wow. It's like the minute you walk through the door they steal your money. This places was awful. We thought it would be kitschy and fun, it was not. The food is awful. We didn't think it was going to be amazing, but it was dreadful. However, we would have eaten the food 6 more times if it meant we didnt have to sit through the performance, if that's what you call it. The actor playing Beetlejuice was so bad. And I don't mean in a funny fun character kinda bad, I mean real life just awful and not funny. The waitress was worse. She charged us a set 18% tip but then said "you have to pay more or I don't get any, that 18% goes to them not me". We thought it would be fun for a birthday party we would never forget. I guess it was memorable in that we will always remember that laughably bad place in New York called Beetle House. read more

I loved the food for the most part, service was amazing, ambience was spectacular!! The vegan burger could have been better but still really good. You're mostly going for the vibe and not the food anyways lol. Definitely pricey but only worth it for one of those special occasion "only doing once" type of things. read more

I have quite a few thoughts and opinions about this spot, so let me break it off into some categories. Atmosphere - 3.5/5 - I loved the look of the bar, and I loved the decor. I think the art on the wall and the pieces they added to make it very Halloween-esque were great. However, and it's unfortunately, the way the space is built, but it is extremely narrow at BeetleHouse. Essentially, they have a wall separator that separates the bar from the dining area, and it makes it so very hard for both people and actors alike to walk up and down. There is also a little back room area and when the actors go over there, if you are in the front, you can't see what they're performing. You just hear them singing. And vice versa. I feel like that takes away from the experience because of the way the area is built. They also encourage exploring, but it's kind of hard to when people are eating right in front of the thing you want to see, and it's already narrow as it is. Actors - 4.5/5 - The actors were so exceptional and honestly, they really did work with what they had. The makeup was great, the singing was good, but what really made it where the individual interactions they did with people at the tables. It was my cousin's birthday and Beetlejuice in the most Beetlejuice way took pictures with us. Lydia and Emily from corpse bride was there that day and they were cutting his ass the whole time, which was hilarious honestly, what went against them is the fact that the house is built the way it is. But they did what they could! Food - 4/5 - I read mixed reviews about the food so I didn't have high expectations when I got there. Now, I do think it is quite expensive, but you also need to remember you're paying for dinner and a show essentially, so the prefix menu makes sense. As for the food itself, I had the mac & cheese, the Bolognese, and a chocolate cake. The Bolognese was OK, I could've done for more meat and sauce, but when I ate it the next day for leftovers with grated Parmesan cheese, for some reason, it was so much better! The chocolate cake was a bit too much and too chocolatey for me, but that's just my opinion. The mac & cheese, however, FIRRRRRREEEEEE. That was some of the creamiest mac & cheese I've ever had. I did not expect the mac & cheese to be so damn good, but if I worked there, that would be the only thing I'd ever eat all the time and I'd turn into a mac & cheese ball. Overall -I'd say, if you are curious, totally go at least once. I had a great experience, and I think, though the bar does sound like it plays on a gimmick, they do a really good job of making it a true authentic experience. read more

Hubby & I were celebrating our anniversary & decide to come out & get into the Halloween spirit & u do the minute u walk in, gotta love the atmosphere & decor of the place it's cool & fun. Price fix menu is now $65 pp which is not bad, specialty cocktails are about $16-18 "normal" these days! Drinks we tried The Beetles juice , Oogie boogie nightcap, This is Halloween & Coco Skellngton all decent in taste & not bad on the alcohol. Appetizer Jacks Jambalaya risotto was good w a spicy kick to it , the Cheshire Mac & cheese so good, nice & creamy. Main dishes Edward burger hand , was delicious, very big, messy but good great fries & the Poultrygeist , chicken & Brussels sprouts was very good , the pure was ok for me. On the dessert , Pumpkin king cheese cake & Dread pudding , were both very good I liked the dread pudding the best the combo w the ice cram was just the right amount of sweet & savory. As u dine, characters are going around interacting with everyone, they sing & dance it's fun to watch they seem to put a nice effort into keeping the crowd entertain. Service is very good, they are very attentive. This is obviously not an everyday dinning experience as the price w cocktails can be on the high side but it's doable, enjoyable we enjoyed our drinks, food & the show! read more

Fun horror themed restaurant with performers and fun setting. Food was good too , everything was great

Came back again 2x since the review - Beetlejuice was there each time with Liv and Bob. No fire breathers though. Smells so good! And food/drinks are still great - they keep their menu fresh. Service was excellent! I came with a bigger group including kids and everyone had such an amazing time. read more

Atmosphere was amazing bc I'm a HUGE Tim Burton fan. Waitstaff was ok they seemed rushed even tho it's 65.00 a head for 90 minutes of food and entertainment. The performers were amazing. We saw Sweeny Todd (kept in character the whole time but still talkative) Mrs Lovett spot on (cheeky) Betelgeuse himself hilarious. Food was way overpriced for the quality but the show made up for it. read more

Beetle House - I would go to hang out but not eat really - New American Near Me - New York, New York

They get one star for the decor. Me and my partner ordered the burger and bolognese pasta dish. Appetizers included Mac and cheese and jambalaya. The bolognese dish was so greasy. Went here last night and I am so sick within only a few hrs of eating. Don't recommend unless you want to get sick. Service was quick and the "show" consisted of one performer singing like 1-2 songs followed by another staff member dancing the Wednesday dance from the Netflix series. I don't consider this a show tbh. It was cute but you can probably find better shows elsewhere Their drink was the exception: I ordered a gin drink. Was pretty good. However, again, given that I am sick as I write this...I wouldn't come back. Such a shame. I had high hopes for this place. read more

Beetle house was fantastic. It reminded me of those summer nights in my early 20's ; Where my friends,and I would go into the city for fun dinners on a whim. Beetle house was whimsical ,and fun. My inner child loved the performances.The food was pretty good comfort food. My brother chose this place for a late dinner, and it did not disappoint. I also enjoyed their pop up next door called creep crust. Definitely come here, and have an open mind and enjoy!! read more

I love Halloween and I love Tim Burton so of course I had to come here especially as we were travelling to NYC with my friend's goth teenage daughter and trying to find things she might like. First off, the decor in this place is impeccable. There are so many nods to Tim Burton's movies, it's like a treasure hunt to find all little easter eggs from the movies. The menu is pre-fix so you choose an appetizer, entree and dessert for a flat fee. They had enough to choose from that everyone was able to find something they liked, even my picky child. They serve the drinks with dry ice, so they come to you smoking, but really, really cold. I didn't trust the dry ice so I plucked it out of my drink. It was literally freezing my throat. What I didn't know is that they have entertainers dressed as Beetlejuice and Edward Scissorhands come around to each table which makes me...uncomfortable. I guess I should have read the yelp reviews before we went! All in all food was good but expensive. Atmosphere was incredible, and if you're a theater kid, you will love it. read more

Beetle House - New American Near Me - New York, New York

We came during Christmas Jack show! AMBIANCE: nice photos and other small decor. I would have liked to see way more lighting and the Christmas tree was underwhelming. STAFF: Amazing! From Lydia to Jack they were all engaging and witty! Lydia's singing voice blew me away. They make the price worth it. FOOD: I loved the Mac n cheese, and the meat dishes were yummy. The drinks were strong and tasty. Desert was nothing special. Food came fast hot and ready. CLEANLINESS: Average NOISE: nice low music. They do a great job of turning it up during show time and lowering it during food service. You can have a conversation here and enjoy the show OVERALL: I loved the experience and would definitely come back for Christmas. We did the 3 course meal for 65 PP and all-in spent $102 PP including tax and tip (18% gratuity is included). And it was awkward when the waitress asked for additional tip if we would like to tip only her. Try to grab the seats by the entry or center. read more

I visited Beetle House NYC with my family on 6/20 (during their Haunted Luau night), and the experience itself was honestly incredible. The themed cocktails, food, and live entertainment were all on point, and Beetlejuice that night absolutely was EVERYTHING! However, we paid for three (3) professional photos ($25 each) and never received the digital copies. I've emailed multiple times and left messages, but no one has responded. For an experience that's already on the pricey side, it's really disappointing to be ignored after paying extra for something we never received. I realize this may have been a private photographer and not someone directly employed by the restaurant, but no response from their team when we loved our experience and photos is disappointing. This would've been a glowing 5-star review if not for that (especially with the great vegan and Gluten Free options). I'm still hopeful someone will respond and make this right--and if they do, I'll gladly update my rating. read more

This was a must go to the minute I knew was going to NYC for a convention. Immediately made reservations for a party of five and they accommodated six for a Saturday at 545 pm reservation. The ambiance had me at hello, 100% Halloween and Tim Burton themed. Loved the small bar area with the iconic sand worm! Everything screamed Halloween! The pre booking for dining area is a three course meal and interaction with Tim Burton characters and show. Between the six of our guests appetizers ranged from Chester Mac & Cheese, Frites & Frights Fries and Jack's Jambalaya Risotto. We all loved the apps! Dinners ranged from Edward Burger, Butchers Bolognese, and Sweeney Beef. All delish Sweeney Beef cooked perfectly to order and loved the jambalaya! The drinks were fun, I shared the fish bowl that was predominantly coconut rum flavored which is not my favorite, the server provided extra pineapple juice to balance. The other table favorite was chocolate chocolate martini which was a hit! Great service throughout the meal. The entertainment was provided by three actors which was sporadic at table and circulating throughout restaurant and bar with some small performances for all. Beetlejuice, BoB, and Edward Sciccorhands, for a Saturday I thought maybe another character or two would have been appropriate for a packed house. Desert was also delightful, the majority had Emily's wedding cake which was raspberry tart and a light delight, and death by chocolate which the rich deep chocolate speaks for itself! I think we ended up around $115 per person plus tip. 90 minutes of fabulous fun and Tim Burton Halloween! I will definitely return my daughter is dying to go! Love to visit LA location as well! Beetlejuice was very perturbed I was there to bring his dead skin back to life! Visiting for International Esthetic and Spa Conference! read more

There is a RIDICULOUS $65 dollar fee per-person if you cancel the reservation (which for us added up to $260). My kid got sick with covid the night before and we had to cancel reservation when we realized we all couldn't make it. You can not call them to speak to any real people and they did not give any refund for this situation even though I had explained we might all be sick since we have been so close to each other. Also, they say on the phone that they accept reservations AND walk-ins, which should mean they can give the reservation to someone walking in without a reservation. It looked somewhat decent but that service is not the best. I would say save your $60 per person and go somewhere else. read more

This was my second time coming here. I made a reservation a week before on Yelp but when we arrived at 5:15pm on a Saturday I was told they were switching reservation services and had no record of my reservation. It was okay! They put my name in the new system and we were promptly seated. The bar was quite busy but the dining room wasn't too full when we arrived but filled in as time went on. We were told to scan the QR code to get the menu and everything is pre-fix including 3 courses appetizer, entree and dessert. We ordered drinks which came out quickly and were so fun bubbling from dry ice. I had the pumpkin flavored one which was also delicious. The menu had changed since I came a year ago but I loved the new selections for appetizers. We placed our food order and waited for the performers to start. The food comes out quickly which is great! Beetlejuice, BOB, and Wednesday were performing that night. They were all great and very interactive taking pictures and doing funny scenes with one another. We loved it. I had the jambalaya risotto for an app and my friend had the salad both were delicious! We both ordered the burger as an entree and it was so much bigger than I expected and cooked perfectly. I like that they ask if you want all of the toppings since I am allergic to eggs that is included. The desserts were also delicious I had the pumpkin cheesecake and my friend the vegan tart with sorbet. Definitely worth the cost for the prefix as it is a lot of food. Everything was tasty and the service was great. The performers also fantastic. Will definitely be back! read more

Went to The Beetle Bar to celebrate a friend's engagement and had a great time overall! The $65 pre-fixe included an appetizer, entrée, and dessert, big portions and surprisingly good food for a themed spot. The drinks looked amazing with the dry ice effect, but they were weak and mostly ice. My $16 cocktail barely made it past the appetizer. The entertainers were great Edward Scissorhands had an incredible voice, and Jack Skellington was hilarious and even congratulated my friend on her engagement. Would've loved to see more characters (was hoping for Beetlejuice himself, but I guess he had the night off). We did feel a bit rushed at the 90-minute mark, but at least they let us split the bill across multiple cards. Gratuity is 18% automatically, and they still encourage extra tipping, might as well make it 20% if it's shared among staff. read more

Been wanting to come here for so long. Finally with my girlfriend, which we are huge Tim Burton fans and love Halloween, got to visit this place! Place is small and narrow, gives vibes that it's a dive bar and they said: hey , let's put up some Halloween stuff up. Not complaining, it does look amazing inside. The food is pretty good and came to our table quickly, my burger was huge. My GF had the Sweeney Todd steak. The cool thing was we got to keep the hardware that was on the plates (scissors, barber blade) There is a show going around , we had beetlejuice singing and he does come to every table to joke around, he was very funny. We also had Lydia that night too. They sing several songs during the dinner session. The only issues we've had is that the waitress (she was extremely nice) came to the tables too many times too soon. Asking if everything was ok, it kinda seamed like they were rushing us, but they never really did. Also , the restrooms are a disaster, they should really improve this part of the restaurant. Yikes. Now that's something scary.. Reservations are recommended and the tip is already included in the bill. Come and enjoy! read more
