A vegan spot in Boston that rebranded a few years ago has shut down.
According to a poster within the Friends of Boston's Hidden Restaurants Facebook group page, Beatnic in the Back Bay is no longer in business, with a check on the website for the business seeming to indicate that all locations--including in New York City--have apparently shuttered (the website is now down). Beatnic had originally been by CHLOE, but in 2021 the group of fast-casual vegan spots emerged from bankruptcy under new ownership and had to change its name.
A couple of other Beatnics had been in the Fenway and Seaport District as well, but they shut down sometime after the bankruptcy filing, which was announced in 2020.
The address for the now-closed location of Beatnic in the Back Bay was 399 Boylston Street, Boston, MA, 02116.
