Stepping into the place it feels like you are walking into an 80's record store with old posters of Michael Jackson and records of different artists. You then, step into the restaurant with chandeliers and large hip hop murals and lighting which give it a club type of feel. The back wall had a wall of speakers. The bathroom has a large mural of Lisa left eye Lopez. My son loved the music which was great but a bit loud. There was hip hop in addition to R and B when we went for brunch Sunday. The food was good. We liked the taste of the Mofongo cups we had as an appetizer with its stewed chicken, pickled onions in a plantain cup. My parents and sister had the lobster roll which they ate. My son loved his burger and my churrasco and eggs were tasty. Drink wise, I had the blackout. I choose it because it was unusual in the it had charcoal, but it was a bit unbalanced more on the too sweet side. The waitstaff were helpful. One thing I did feel that needs to be updated is the AC as it got warmer as we were sitting eating our meal.

I've heard so much about this restaurant. I dined here on a weekday after 8pm. It wasn't crowded. The ambiance was chill, other than the boisterous lady at the bar who appeared to be in intoxicated. Upon entering the waitress gave us the option of a bar seat or table. We selected a table, but it was too cold where the tables are (in the back of the restaurant). So we elected to sit at the bar. The decor very impressive!! Service was great. The bartender was very attentive. She also was great when ordering, she was able to give us a few good selections on the menu. The food wasn't as impressive as the decor. The food was OK. I would definitely dine here again to try other selections on the menu. Give them a try!

We had a birthday brunch for my friend T, the food was amazing, service was great. They had a live DJ but we asked to play some Spanish "Dembow" music. Everyone was dancing. Was a Little busy but the food came out hot and fresh plus the chef was right there the whole time. We loved the lobster cheese balls I will be coming back for my graduation party.

Beatstro was a great find, bottomless sangria and mimosas were good and they keep the cups filled to the top especially after the food comes. The decor was really nice, the Dj kept the atmosphere jumping at all times. The service was great, the waitress was very attentive to our needs. The chicken and waffles were pretty good and the shrimp n grits had great flavor. The brunch is very busy you need reservations for sure. The 99 minute limit is strictly enforced but there's enough time to eat and enjoy some music.

Brunched with friends for the holidays! 90 minute bottomless mimosas or sangria. The sangria was delicious and strong. Decor and ambiance were chill and highlighted hip hop and r&b. The music was great as well. Our waitress was very attentive and very frequently refilling our drinks which I appreciated. The rum cake French toast was delicious and I loved the fresh fruit. My other friends ordered the boogie down burger which they said was pretty good. Finding parking was fairly easy and definitely recommend making a reservation.

Came to Beatstro on a Sunday during lunch and I gotta say this place does not disappoint! My friend had previously been to Beatstro and suggested we went. The moment we walked past the big black curtains, I knew I was going to love the vibe! The place was empty for a Sunday brunch, but the music and the ambience set the tone! I wanted to order a heavy plate (not brunch), but was told that they were only serving brunch... thankfully they were very accommodating so I still basically got what I wanted! I got the "steak and eggs" from the brunch menu, but I do not eat eggs so they asked me if I wanted to substitute that for extra home fries... I wanted regular French fries, and I asked if I could substitute my home fries for French fries, and they did... the steak was cooked nicely! And the "brunch" plate was a nice size! The server was extremely attentive and nice, which added to the experience! She made sure that if you got bottomless, your cup was never empty! She even suggested different items on the menu... I really wish I got her name because she needs a shout out and a promotion! :) The only downside is that they do not sell bottled water... but honestly, everything else was on point, so I am still giving Beatstro five stars... but please get bottled waters.

It's spring cleaning during the summer for my bookmark list! Beatstro has been on my mind since I saw it made the Bib Gourmand list on the Michelin site. I finally got to experience it last night. When you walk in and pass through the curtains, you're greeted by beautiful street art of some of the hip hop greats. Towards the back, they have an illuminated wall filled with speakers. In the bathrooms, there's more art on the backs of the doors. It's quite pleasing to the eye. Pleasing to the ear is every song they churn out on their speakers! They play the old school stuff here, such as 2pac, Biggie, OutKast, and Puff Daddy. They've got everyone singing and rapping in between bites and sips. Puerto Rican and southern food are their specialties here. To eat, I went with the Pernil and threw in a side of lemon smashed potatoes. The pernil was so tender and basically falling apart, and they seasoned it so well! It went perfectly with the salsa verde and moro. The lemon smashed potatoes were delicious as well! My partner got the churrasco which also came tender and flavorful. The yuca fries were crispy and went well with the garlic aioli sauce. I didn't get our waitress' name but she was great. Checked in on us constantly. To top off I had a Nutcracker drink and it almost knocked me on my ass. Sip with caution! I would for sure return to Beatstro! Great food, drinks, music, service, and art!

We went to Beatstro for Sunday Brunch to celebrate a birthday. They have brunch on Saturday and Sunday. The Saturday brunch is a Chill brunch without the DJ but the Sunday brunch is a party brunch with a DJ. When they say Party brunch thats exactly what it was. The music was LOUD we were shouting across the table just to have a conversation. I chose the unlimited Sangria. The Sangria was really good, not too sweet and they use a good quality wine. Since it was a large group the waitress put pitchers on the table. Some of the items we ordered was the devil eggs, chicken and waffles and a burger. The devil eggs was a little salty but had a nice firm texture. Chicken and waffles was well seasoned, crispy and they gave you a lot of chicken which was a plus. The burger was definitely fresh seasoned ground beef and the fries was a bit on the salty side but I like salt so I was okay with it. The waitress did an excellent job keeping up with the entire group of 12. She was attentive, she kept the drinks coming and our entrees came out within a reasonable time. The DJ was jamming with classic R&B and Hip Hop the crowd was moving and grooving to the beat.

An ode to all things hip hop and r&b, Beatstro is a vibe and party as soon as you walk in. You first walk into what feels like a record shop, where old-school vinyls are on display. You enter the restaurant through curtains, where the music is on FULL blast. If you aren't sitting next to your date/spouse, etc, be prepared to not hear each other speak. For drinks, I ordered the Method Man-Hattan, which gave me an Old Fashioned feel. My girlfriend enjoyed her Unbelievable, which was their equivalent to a Moscow Mule. The Thick Thighs and Waffles might have been one of best chicken and waffles I've tasted. The chicken was crispy on the outside and tender inside, well-seasoned, and paired well with the strawberries and waffles. She enjoyed the Man Good Tres Golpes, which came with eggs, avocado, mangu, and amazing sausage. We ordered a side of bacon that was sweet from honey. We weren't impressed with the banana pudding, as it had way too much going on. The dulce de leche and sorbet ice cream overpowered the lone banana, so it wasn't a true pudding at all. For a Saturday brunch, it was busy but our server was on top of orders and always checked in with us throughout our stay.
