Beehive Augusta Tavern

Make a reservation beforehand. We did not and had to wait 45 minutes for a table for 2. This gave time to stroll around the quaint town of Augusta on a beautiful sunny fall like afternoon. The place is historic. It's near the Rosemary Clooney (George's aunt) house. The Beehive overlooks the Ohio river which can be traversed to Ohio on the Augusta ferry.The interior is historic looking but yet clean and inviting. We were there for lunch. I had the Kentucky Hot Brown. Hearty and savory are words to describe this stack of turkey, ham, bacon and cheese smothered in gravy, baked in the oven and served in a small skillet. My wife had the Hot Honey Chicken Wrap that features thinly sliced fried chicken drizzled with hot honey and lettuce in a flour tortilla. It came with fries seasoned with sea salt. Russ our server was attentive and friendly.

I had a wonderful meal here on a Friday evening with my partner. I had reserved a table on the second floor balcony, which faces the river. It had a great view, and there were fans above us that kept us comfortable the whole evening and the bugs away!My partner ordered a steak with a side of mushroom risotto and garlic mashed potatoes. He raved about his steak and potatoes, but the risotto had too much mushroom flavor for his tastes.I personally got the berry salad with blackened chicken, as I wasn't that hungry. It was delicious, albeit very small for an "entree" salad. Definitely a good dish if you're looking for something light. The blackened chicken was very tasty and went great with the meal. I also ordered their Parmesan roasted potatoes, which were flavorful but liked the crispy texture i was expecting. Over all it was a lovely evening with good food and better company. If we're back in the area we will for sure be returning! The service is great, the location is beautiful, and the atmosphere is pleasant.

We took a nice scenic drive along the Ohio river, and found the Beehive in Augusta. We had made reservations in advance, and I am glad that we did. The people behind us trying to get in were rejected due to the fact that they had an overwhelming crowd and some of the items on the menu they were out of, so they were only serving the ones with reservations.

This place has to be one of the vibiest places on the Ohio River. Every detail looks carefully curated. Dark & moody with velvet lined bench seats. Live music when we were there but it was in the downstairs bar area. So, after dining we went downstairs and had another drink at the bar and enjoyed the music. I believe this place is on the KY Bourbon Trail and their crafted cocktails were beyond my expectations!Definitely don't sleep on this one.

We sat out on the back patio & the a great river view. Staff was very friendly & the food was amazing!! We will be back

My parents and I went here for a Thursday evening dinner and we had a great experience. We got the OPP as an appetizer. It was good but all fried. I think we will try something else next time. The rolls were warm and amazing and came with a trio of butter, honey and jam. My father got a Caesar salad and it was some of the best Caesar dressing I have ever tasted!I got the chicken pesto pasta, my mom got the entrée Caesar salad with grilled chicken and my father got the shrimp scampi. All were very well plated, seasoned perfectly and delicious! We all liked what we got and were happy. We got coffee and honey pie for dessert and those were good as well. The service was great and the place was beautiful. We sat on the upper level deck and got to look over the River! We were very pleased with our experience and will absolutely return.

Very disappointing experience; we drove 45 minutes to see Ricky Nye, only to be told that we could not eat in the bar area on Sat even though there were 3 open tables and we were offering to double or triple the revenue on one of those tables! Instead we were seated in the first floor dining next to a loud group of 7. We waited over 20 minutes for a burger that was overcooked, the risotto was tasteless; $100 including generous tips. Then we had to drive over an hour to get home because the ferry was closed; if we'd been allowed to eat in the bar we probably would've made it. Thanks for ruining the first night out a disabled Vietnam vet and his wife had in a long time (he shattered his humerus a year ago, necessitating four orthopedic surgeries). TBH, it was all my fault for not pulling the plug when they said: you can't eat here...

The Beehive is a regular Date Night place for us.The last 2 visits have not been good at all.The vegan choices have been terrible. Everything is loaded down with pepper, and is almost inedible. I can hardly eat any of the meal. It is always boxed up for me, but as soon as I get home, it gets thrown away.Not sure what is going on, but the old chef definitely knew how to cater to vegans.

The initial wait time was pleasantly brief, surpassing expectations and certainly shorter than what one might typically encounter at establishments such as Olive Garden. My boyfriend and I were visiting to celebrate his recent work promotion, and to our delight, we were seated on the top floor, which provided a lovely view of the restaurant's elegant design. The manager, quite possibly the kindest woman on the planet, greeted us with a warmth that felt like being back in my mother's kitchen. Her genuine concern for how everything was going made me feel as though I was cared for by a million.During a visit to the restroom, my boyfriend was struck by its impressive design and remarked on the overall sophistication of the space. The rooms and seating arrangements exuded a refined charm, setting the tone for a truly memorable evening. For my meal, I opted for a salad, which was presented in a sophisticated manner. The freshness of the ingredients was immediately apparent, and the flavors were nothing short of exquisite. My boyfriend chose the grilled chicken accompanied by Brussels sprouts, which he described as having a delightful smokiness with just the right amount of spice. The glaze on the sprouts was particularly noteworthy, and he enjoyed the dish so much that he brought some home for lunch the next day.To conclude the meal, he indulged in a slice of chocolate pie, which he devoured with enthusiasm. He expressed how the dessert, along with the entire dining experience, made him feel remarkably at ease, as if he were truly at home. The entire experience was extraordinary, and I wholeheartedly recommend this establishment. Without a doubt, we will be returning in the near future.

Quaint spot with outdoor balcony seating on the Ohio River. Excellent food! I recommend the pork chop highly. They have a great cocktail menu and of course tons of unique bourbon. The waitstaff was only OK. Definitely not getting really well trained waitstaff in this locale. Our waitress really didn't know much about the menu or preparation of the dishes. A few other spots around here to stop in for a drink as well.
