Popular restaurant brand Beatnik is getting a new addition to the family with a recently announced upcoming location in Lincoln Park set to open its doors this month. The new restaurant will join sister sites Beatnik West Town and Beatnik on the River, which opened in 2017 and 2018, respectively.
The brand has made a name for itself in recent years thanks in large part to its distinctive lush ambiances and international flair. Both spaces come complete with colorful rugs and tapestries, imposing chandeliers and flowy vegetation. The zen accommodations paired expertly with a globally inspired menu and playful cocktails have allowed Beatnik to become one of the most unique and fun dining experiences in the city.
Now, the group behind the restaurants, Bonhomme Hospitality, has announced they are opening a new third location located in the Lincoln Park neighborhood. The new site will sit on prime real estate at 2576 N. Lincoln Ave. near the busy intersection of Sheffield, Wrightwood, and Lincoln. The area is a well-established commercial and dining district along the Lincoln corridor with buzzy spots such as Parlay Pizza, Prost, and Kingston Mines all steps away.

According to Crain's Chicago Business, the new Beatnik restaurant will feature much of the same style and creativity that has allowed its predecessors to flourish. However, new installations and custom pieces are being fabricated to give the Lincoln Park location its own endearing identity.
The menu will follow a similar globetrotting appeal, mixing flavors from the Mediterranean, Middle East and South America, all with an emphasis on freshly sourced and housemade ingredients per a report from Newcity. The drink selection will also follow in its older siblings' footsteps by leaning heavily on tropically inspired creations and playful spins on classic libations.
