It pays to be outside on a sunny day. I entered on the side of this establishment ( great for takeout). There is off street parking in the historic Jackpot Ward. I choose a strawbaby & banana smoothie. I tasted every strawberry & banana with oat milk. I wasn't hungry but I'm southern and can't pass up peach cobbler. This was a great dessert choice and my big mama would be proud. It is a great place for lunch or dinner. The atmosphere is friendly and customers smiles is perfect representation of excellence. Ms Brandy was a joy to talk to and her service was top shelf like the liquor at the bar.

My friends and I stopped for lunch. Everything was great. I really enjoyed the shrimp & grit cakes. The grit cakes were crispy and cooked just right with a creamy cajun sauce. I've never had a grit cake so I was pleasantly surprised. The burger had a nice jam on it. The atmosphere was kind & welcoming.

The food is delicious, the drinks are strong, and the energy and vibes are amazing! The staff is wonderful, and the manager is very personable and welcoming. I always enjoy coming here!

The ambiance is very nice I love the theme of the restaurant down to the food names and how your food is presented. The service was good when we went, I have seen a lot of people had a long wait time. I rated it 3 starts because the food was mediocre and lacked flavor, we had to add seasoning in order for it to taste good. Overall, I don't think I would go back but give it a try!

Man these people act like you got no place to be and have an attitude while doing it. I came here cause I wanted a quick smoothie at 4:36pm. It is now 4:51pm and I have YET to get my smoothie. I ended up getting my smoothie at 4:55pm. Madness. Additionally after I ordered the person making the smoothie slowly got up with no sense or urgency. I figured I could come in for a quick healthy snack and they dragged it out as if I got a MEAL. furthermore they falsely advertise this place as a juice bar I arrive and it's a restaurant and bar. I called ahead with confusion as the juice bar is in the back but it's not even staffed. I was met rudely by the person on the phone but when you call the juice bar off the number on Google it redirects you to the bar. I got the green goddess smoothie and when I finally got my smoothie it was delicious. I will also be attaching a photo of the menu. They listed at almond milk would be an upcharge of $1 not not oat milk. I was then charged for oat milk as well. I didn't even care for the milk I would have opted for the spring water option. The lady ended up giving me my $1 back but to me it's really principle. I won't be coming back here again as the experience was awful. Makes sense why the spot was empty when I arrived.

I went here for birthday brunch. We were able to sit right away but service was slowww and took forever. They were very understaffed. I ordered a smoothie and never got it. I ordered the Belgian waffle and they forgot half the toppings I asked for. The food was decent but not worth the wait. They comped the Bloody Mary but that was it.

I was very disappointed that this establishment was not staffed well on a Saturday at 5:30. The welcoming was exciting however quickly turns sour due to the lack of staff one bartender /waiter/ slow moving man behind the bar, however I give him credit. He handled it well because it was fairly crowded in there and the young lady who came into the restaurant to work with a straight attitude, face balled up, changing shoes inside the restaurant instead of going into the bathroom worried about music instead of waiting on customers‍now let's get to the food my friends food french fries was soggy. She did not complain about the shrimp. My vegan chili taco nachos were OK but the catfish nuggets and french fries I ordered after I asked the bartender to not make my fries like my friends They were good. I'm upset because I support black businesses no matter what town part of town they're in and no matter who is sitting in there however I would not be coming back to the HIVE BAR because the manager should've came in and helped the one waiter/bartender/greeter until her staff arrived and got the bar back to clean and orderly not to mention a broken ATM machine in there. HIRE MORE PEOPLE bc you about lose more staff!! Not only that why is your cooks coming out and asking us how the food is and making out one bartender to bring out all the food for all the customers instead of helping them out please enforce a team environment!!! To think I drove from Maryland too..

I am so happy to see this beautiful space brought back to life! The Hive Bar & Grill (and The Hive Market) is something you don't want to miss. Brandi Battle-Brown, the owner, had the grand opening yesterday on her birthday! What better way to celebrate. Both spaces have cozy twinkle lights. Inside the market is a gorgeous painting of their name. Outside both spaces is a beautiful mural by Jowarnise. Inside the bar and grill are lovely gold accents and Donna Summers records hang on the wall. We went on their grand opening night. It was fun to see and feel how new the space was because even our server had to review some things. Our server was great and attentive. He asked for our opinions and feedback. As a Yelper, I know you're here to read about the food. Here is what we tried: Kinky Kougar: I'm not one to blush while ordering drinks, but this was a fun name. The cocktail was nice too! I'm the type of person who doesn't want to taste alcohol in her drink, so was very happy that the pineapple juice was strong here. I loved the touch of lavender. Bee's Sting: My partner said this felt like drinking an amazing hot honey cocktail. It had a very nice kick and it smelled incredible. Fried Green Tomatoes: These were divine. I loved that it was the perfect amount of fried. The crunch was excellent and it wasn't too greasy. Crab Mac&Cheese: Old bay heaven meets your favorite family's barbeque mac and cheese. This dish is HUGE. Imagine your classic mac and cheese side x 4. It's a generous portion with delicious cheese, crab, macaroni, and a lovely touch of old bay. The cheese pull is gonna look amazing in your Yelp photos. The Big Brie Burger: MUST GET. This was divine. They cooked it exactly how I asked/liked it. The bacon, garlic butter brioche, and arugula really elevated this burger. I'm so grateful that The Hive Bar & Grill is finally open. I'm excited to come back to try the breakfast and wine at The Hive Market.

Wings with honey bourbon

It was a great experience. It's their only 2nd night opened. Wait staff were very friendly and helpful sharing their recommendations and seemed excited by the new restaurant. The food was delicious. The wings were crispy and nice. They were small but served many with tasty sweet sauce. We ordered Brussel sprouts as a 2nd appetizer, which was nice. They were simple and very good. I ordered the Shrimp and Grit. I thought the presentation was only average but the taste was awesome!! I loved them. My buddy had the Brie burger and loved it. I'm Excited to return and try other dishes.

I've been here a couple of times now. In general I love the whole vibe of the bar. First visit -- 5 stars no questions. This latest visit was not quite as fabulous. They do make some delicious signature cocktails. And the wings are to die for. Service was hit or miss -- first bartender was pretty attentive. The second one struggled (I got the sense she was newer.) We were trying to wrap up to be ready for our rideshare. I had to walk up to the counter to pay (as she had not been by the table and had her back to us) There was an issue separating the tab (again - I think she was newer) given the rush no time to review the bill in detail or separate so I just paid everything. After reviewing it today I discovered a cocktail we didn't order and an automatic 20% gratuity was be included. Never mentioned and I did not see it printed anywhere (it may have been -- no one in our group saw it. With that said we ended paying $69 on a $195. Unfortunately, not a 35% service experience. I understand why restaurant owners are including gratuity in the bill automatically--while I have opinions on that topic--what's productive in this forum is being aware it's being done there and it is a full 20%. Despite it not being a 5 star experience this weekend, I will be back. I'll just read my tab carefully before paying.

Chicken and busicuit, delicious, please add that pickle
Noe C.

Nice staff, superb chicken and waffles and toasts, worth the wait. Only setback was music was too loud. Loud enough not to hear your nearby guest in a conversation. Get that chicken biscuit, mimosa, French toast. Cute and cozy; bar felt more comfortable than outdoor area

Crab Mac and cheese
Tarissa W.

My husband and I love the Hive! We come here somewhat frequently since it's so close to where we live, and the bartenders are always super kind & personable to the customers, and make it a great experience. I tried the crab Mac and cheese, and it was the best I've ever had. I was a little hesitant to order it because it was kind of expensive, but I unexpectedly had leftovers & would definitely get it again! It's a super small little corner bar, but don't judge a book by its cover. This place is a fan favorite!

My son took me to lunch at The Hive Bar & Grill to celebrate my Birthday. I just recently became aware of The Hive's existence thru a post I saw on Instagram. I knew I definitely wanted to visit this establishment as it is a Black family owned business & I am always excited to support businesses such as this one. I sincerely enjoyed my meal at The Hive. I had their Honey & Bourbon Shrimp, Macaroni & Cheese & the Kinky Cougar Cocktail. The food was delicious. The shrimp was spicy but not too spicy and the shrimp was not over cooked. The Mac & Cheese was my favorite sampling of M & C thus far in the area. I am not a Mac & Cheese fan so the fact that I ate my entire serving speaks to how yummy this dish was. From the seasoning to the tenderness of the pasta. I would definitely order the Mac & Cheese on a return visit. The cocktail was fun & flirty. Just as the name suggests. The ambience & the service were top notch. I loved that the wall decor was classic record album covers. The service was welcoming, courteous & attentive. This is definitely a business I would frequent. And I look forward to returning to try more menu options.

Great food! Great Service and an even better atmosphere. The wait was minimal and karaoke Sunday is an epic event.
