There's a brand new addition to the Boston jazz circuit: the Beehive (pictured), a restaurant, bar, and performance venue on Tremont Street in the Boston Center for the Arts complex. The Beehive team includes local restaurateurs Jack Bardy of Pho Republique and Darryl Settles of Bob’s Southern Bistro. They plan to offer live music seven nights a week, early on Sunday through Tuesday, and late -- until 2 a.m. -- the other nights. The spacious venue -- 6,500 square feet divided into several dining areas, two bars, and an outdoor terrace -- will offer Mediterranean-influenced food by chef Adam Halberg, recently of Via Matta. The motivation to open the Beehive, Settles says, stemmed from the oft-heard complaint that Boston’s nightlife skews heavily toward the collegiate set. “There’s not a lot for professionals to do after 10 p.m.,” Settles says. “People 30 and over complain about having no place to go. But that’s beginning to change now." 541 Tremont St., 617-423-0069; beehiveboston.com.
