PROS: Staff is very nice, including the bouncers. Food looked good, people enjoyed the drinks, many places to sit, live music, and a small courtyard CONS: Scarce amount of street parking, takes a long time to close out a bar tab, one person bathrooms which causes a backup. It's also very cramped inside as it's not that big OVERALL: I may come back to this place if others are wanting to come here. I thought the vibe was good read more

Chill atmosphere... love the Caprese salad here! Will visit again soon! - Monica the barber

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. read more

Drinks were good and food was pretty good but our service was just not great. Ordered wings and it came with sour cream instead of ranch. Had to ask her like 3 times for some ranch and all the food came out separately. Ranch came out about 40 minutes later with 1 wing left haha but 20% included tip felt steep especially with the service. read more

Came here with a few friends to celebrate a friend. We had apps and drinks. This is a cute place, great for friends or a simple date night. The later it gets they have a DJ but during the day it's regular music on the speakers. I went in a Thursday at about 6:30pm. Drinks: I had the bay breeze which was pretty good. Not very strong. I had two. Food: we ordered several small plates and shared everything which was just enough food for the four of us. It was a cute spot to meet up for happy hour and the prices are pretty inexpensive. Food was really good. Atmosphere: the music was a mix between hip hop/pop/top hits which was nice. The crowd was diverse- both in ages and in races which was also nice. This seems like a hole in the wall place but definitely a little hidden gem. Customer service: The waitress came over numerous times to clear the empty plates, ask if we needed anything, and to get us more drinks. She was friendly, knowledgeable of the menu, and very attentive. I will definitely be back! read more

Food is amazing and the service is great! I have been there many times and it never disappoints.

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! read more

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 read more

The Hive is definitely one of the bars I like to come to. I first visited them back in the summer of 2020. Even during pandemic this bar has always done very well handling COVID. Their outdoor patio is cozy and relaxing. The indoor is super cute and cozy too. Not too big, which is perfect for a chill vibe. I want to say this is now my 4th or 5th time coming and haven't been disappointed. Cocktails are delicious and strong. Their food is also quite tasty too. If you're looking for a great bar with strong drinks and mouthwatering food? Then you going to the hive is definitely the spot. read more

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. read more

Walking by you might go right passed this place because it is on the corner, go inside you'll be happy you did! I went on a Wednesday night and it was very lively music with the DJ playing. I started out with a lemon drop martini which was delicious and sweet and my friend had the Sebastian's tea which he said was good and strong. Then we started out with the mozzarella which was hot cheesy and delicious, Yum also had the garlic shrimp and the crispy chicken tacos which were definitely homemade and you could tell very full of flavor and then we had the fillet Cristini everything here is made with love if you in the area you should stop by! read more

They have shady billing so make sure to check your bill carefully!! My friend and I ordered sliders which were $10.95, fries $3.95, and 4 Long Island iced teas $11-$12 each. The bill should have been $62.85, and the mandatory 20% added tip $12.57. For a total of $75.42. Yet I was charged $82.26. AND...they still leave the tip line on the receipt so if you are the type of person who just signs the receipt and leaves a tip based on the total, you're tipping over 40%. The OG sliders were just ok, slightly over cooked and they only give you two. The fries were decent. The drinks were the best thing about this place. If you decide to go, just check your receipt! read more

Went for a quick bite for Taco Tuesday! The steak tacos were Juicy and very tasty the place was not packed as I just went right after work. Will have to go back to try the other things on the menu read more

I met up with a friend of mine to get drinks and a little bite. When I arrived I parked in their driveway. I walked into a small, cute bar and grill. I found my friend sitting towards a back table. Jaleen was our server and she was very nice and attentive. They have a good happy hour and I got the red sangria and my friend got a beer and empanadas. The sangria was good and my friend said the empanadas were ok. For my second drink I got the lemon drop martini and it was a bit sour but it wasn't bad. The bill was very reasonable and we did have a good time and will return. read more

Came here for the first time on Friday for happy hour and truly enjoyed myself. Looks older on the outside but completely modern & hip on the inside. My friend and I sat at the bar and took full advantage of their happy hour specials. The Food Here Is Amazing!

We were told Tuesday and Friday nights are their most popular nights when they have a DJ spinning the tunes. I will definitely go back to check it out. read more

So I came here on a Friday night not knowing to expect. A friend of mine heard of this bar and wanted to bring myself and another friend to try it out. I'm happy we went because I'm always open to trying new places. We got there around 8 o'clock and it was busy-not crowded but busy. we were quickly seated and a server came over to us soon after We were able to quickly order drinks as we saw a few things that we were interested in. The food menu itself was fine but their choices seemed limited and it took us a while to decide what to get. In the end we ended up getting the buffalo shrimp , guacamole, tomato and mozzarella salad and Thai chili wings. The Thai chili wings and the buffalo shrimp was definitely my favorite. It was nice that the buffalo shrimp wasn't breaded it made it feel different and special. All in all this bar and restaurant was good I had a good time. It's very small, smaller than I anticipated but seems to have a good crowd. read more

Do not pass up on this spot! It has great vibes, service and most importantly a truly reliable Happy Hour. M-F 4-7 you get $7 deals for drinks and food. The drinks I got today were Bay Breeze and Mango Mojito and while they may seem nice and light they are not to be underestimated. We also got the Mozz Carozza and Hive Tots which were so flavorful! The service is fantastic , you can tell they really care about their clientele. And although we are indoors it is clear their outdoor patio is a blast. The only thing is parking is a little tight but the moment we were concerned one of the employees took care of us right away! Definitely a must visit and surely a favorite that we will be returning to! Love supporting local places like this that do such a fantastic job! read more

First time here, went on a Saturday which we called a head of time because were a group of 8. Place is very small so if your a big group I suggest to call a head of time. Music was good. We were missing a seat on table, took the waitress 15 minutes to get one. I honestly think she forgot. We ordered margarita pizza, Thai chili wings, burgers, hive fries & filet mignon tacos. My friend had the tacos & she said they were really bad - flavorless. Everyone's food came but my sister's burger. mind you the other two people who ordered at the same time as her, got theirs already. Reminded the waitress again. Than a 3rd time. Finally the burger came out & she comp the meal because it took so long. The receipt literally prints out $0 cheese,$0 bacon, $0gravy, etc. makes your receipt look crazy long. ***Apparently they have small or large drinks which the waitress never asked which one we wanted. My friend & I ordered a Mule which is $9. My friend got charged $2 extra for large which she never even asked for. Than two people in our party order a Double of Johnny Walker. 2 x $9 each=$18 ; than added $4 large + $6 rocks. We complained than the manger removed the rocks charges because he said it was a typo. Too many mistakes. DOUBLE CHECK YOUR RECEIPT!!! Food: 4/5 Service: 2/5 Decor: 4/5 read more

I came to meet up with my friend, Val X. and friends, on a Thursday night. The Hive is a surprisingly nice bar for the area, I would have expected something more divey, but I guess the recent renovations did the place well. They have a decent selection of craft beers on tap, and a varied cocktail menu. But the real reason I'm a fan of this place is the Mega Mule, a giant Moscow Mule which contains half a bottle of vodka and a full bottle of mixer. Great deal at $45. I liked it so much, i went back a few days later and got a bunch of food. Good cheese fries, sweet potato fries, guacamole, and wings! Hive Heat is a mix of garlic Parmesan and buffalo sauce. I don't know why i never thought of that. Not only was the food good, it was surprisingly cheap as well. They have a little outdoor area too, with comfy couches, Adirondack chairs, and picnic tables. It would be super awesome if I could bring a hookah. The great prices, great service, and great atmosphere now makes this one of my favorite bars in the area. read more

This is a cool spot to hang out with in a group or a date. The food and drinks are decent. They are very clean compared to most spots I've been to during this time. They take your temperature at the door, disinfect your table, and bring you plastic wear. They have a good amount of outdoor seating. read more

Good for nightlife! It's always packed with a good chill crowd. Drinks are always great! Get there early for seating.

Stopped by The Hive for wings and beer during a football game, and they did not disappoint. The beer selection was great, and the beer cold. Their cocktails aren't sugary sweet, and are well-made. We had the tater tots which are $2.50 for a whole pile (and crispy crunchy) and the mozzarella corozza. The sauce on the mozz was clean and delicious. The wings were some of the best we've had-both crispy and spicy. The atmosphere is fun, bright, and casual. We'd come back here on a Sunday with friends for a football game. COVID review: The Hive is killing the takeout game!! No other restaurant has delivered us crispy fries or tots, and the Hive did it. Loved my chicken Caesar wrap and the steak sandwich. This is going to be in our regular rotation because their delivery seriously impressed us. read more

Great spot for the area. More importantly excellent staff . Ryan and Dan are aces ! Excellent hospitality. Opened up with quarantine drink. A cocktail mix and was extremely good. In additional, deep fried mozz and empanadas. The deep fried mozz is a must. For entree, i had a special burger. The burger came with chips. I was fortunate enough to see the chicken Parm and it looked delicious as well. A lot of good options here. Outdoor dining (COVID-19) read more

Let me start this review by saying I don't think I've ever had such a poor experience at a restaurant in my existence. Since when does any establishment automatically add 20% gratuity to a bill for a party of 3?! To be brief, this establishment offers small portioned low quality over priced items (can't speak for their alcoholic drinks). We ordered a $16 taco bowl which was extremely small and prepared so poorly, with absolutely zero flavor. The salad we received had slimy greens all over the place that clearly should've been thrown out. The only decent item we ate was the garlic shrimp (but they didn't plate the bread separately that came with it so that came soggy and gross). If you're craving tacos or really any food for that matter, Taco Bell is 10x better at a fraction of the price. read more

Food TOO overpriced, small portions, and terrible quality. Half the salad was spoiled. Their Taco Bowl was bland and disappointing. Don't come here for food. Taco Bell tastes better then this. There's a reason this place is called the Hive-the damn place is full gnats and flies. Too many damn bugs. Taco Bell shits on this place tbh. They charged a 20% tip that's not worth it for the quality. read more

I dined here for Taco Tuesday during Happy Hour with some of my coworkers over the summer. One of my coworkers is a regular there and they all had attended for her birthday a few weeks prior. I'm glad I was able to finally try the restaurant. I started with a Vodka Sprite and was a little disappointed that they're a Tito's Vodka establishment. I'm joking of course but, I can't understand why people like Tito's. It tastes like straight acetone. I opted for any other vodka but, Tito's. The drink was tasty but, I think I make a better mix of the two. I started with shrimp tacos. If I have to eat tacos, they will definitely have to be shrimp or pork belly. I wish they served the shrimp tacos as a set of three instead of two but, they were delicious and fresh. The rest of my party thoroughly enjoyed their tacos options as they really stuff them full of meat for the chicken tacos. I've had better and cheaper shrimp tacos in Philadelphia but, I'd enjoy these again. I forgot that they have cocktails when I ordered my first drink. I soon ordered a Sheesh and an order of fries. These two options were the highlight of my night. The Sheesh had mango liqueur and jalapeños. The mango definitely attracted me but, I was disappointed to find it lacking that amazing mango flavor. However, what this drink had a lot of was heat! There were about three slices of jalapeño in the cocktail and boy, it packed a punch. It was spicier than other jalapeño cocktails I've had elsewhere but, was definitely tasty as I let the ice melt a bit. The fries were amazingly crispy. I just wish there was another sauce option for them. Overall, I look forward to come back every once in awhile for Happy Hour. read more

covid review: indoor seating - but few options. they have a tent in the parking on the side. TVS are also set up. They have daily specials and happy hour. The service was good, and the servers suggested some beer. prices are fair, and the dishes are pretty innovative for a small cafe/bar type of place in town. shrimp in garlic sauce is a must get! i wish the serving was bigger, i felt this cant be shared! i easily ate it all up. shrimp were medium sized, and the garlic sauce was just right. the brussel sprouts tacos come in 3s, and i could barely make it past 2. they are so packed! i was so fully after barely touching the 2nd. i honestly think these are the best brussel sprout tacos ive ever had, most places cant seem to nail this veggie down. i love the way theyre cooked and the sauces on the tacos nailed the flavor profile. i highly suggest this option for any of my veggie friendly friends! my date got the cheesesteak and he LOVED it. its big and filling, but also cooked well. read more

The food here is garbage. The people that work here are even more garbage. Don't waste your time at this ghetto establishment. If you are in the area and want to go to a nice bar do yourself the favor and go to Jojos bar and grill. Extremely unprofessional and don't treat their patrons fairly. read more
