The Beacon Restaurant And Bar

This place keeps getting better and better.. the food is amazing, and the bands are so much fun. I’m there pretty much weekly and believe me when I say this is becoming the best place in Marblehead on a Friday or Saturday evening. Perfect place for young adults and up. 10/10

Went for Sunday brunch. GREAT food FRESH seafood! I had the calamari (which comes with fried banana peppers-and they were AWESOME), and clams. The clams were HUGE and DELICIOUS! Ordered a drink (the kraken)-also good. I don't drink **** Mary's BUT (if u do) this is the place to be. People went nuts for the build your own **** Mary bar. My husband ordered fish tacos-must have been good because I didn't get a bite! Also, there was LIVE JAZZ. Great outdoor seating as well-would make for a good date night spot.Parking: Parking lot

Dined there this past Saturday evening with friends. Reservations for 6:30pm, ordered our food at 7:15pm and it arrived at 8:40pm. Ordered 2 burgers, a salad with chicken and swordfish dinner. Nothing extraordinary about that! Food was just okay....nothing special. David our server kept checking in with us, telling us the food would be out in one minute. The GM Amanda is absolutely useless. She told us that no one wants to work therefore that's why our meals were so late. No excuse whatsoever! She kept apologizing and comped us desserts which we had already ordered. She in my opinion isn't really veesed on what a good GM does! Folks, this isn't really a dining establishment but rather a drinking place with great music. We are doubtful that we will be back which is sad because we enjoyed Johnny singing!

After ordering the food it took around 45-50 minutes to arrive to the table, and was prepared not to the specifications give, and all around did not taste good, they graciously did not charge us, the bartender was very nice

The donuts here used to be good. Best around. Now they're pretty much inedible. Totally soggy and grease-soaked and they taste like old fryer oil. Look in the picture how far the oil has soaked into the donut. Even my kids wouldn't eat them. Total waste of money and a half dozen donuts straight into the garbage.
