From 5pm to 2am on Monday, March 17, the deservedly popular venue will present a unique blend of live entertainment and authentic Irish comfort food. The last comes courtesy of in-house chef Rebecca Newell, who will use her culinary talent to whip up such savory à la carte treats as House-made Bangers with Bubble & Squeak ($11), Irish Pub Salad ($11), Lamb, Barley & Parsnip Stew ($22), Wild Irish Salmon Shepard’s Pie ($22), and — my personal favorite since I was born with an unshakeable sweet tooth — Apple-Oatmeal Crisp with Irish Whiskey Cream ($7.50). Yummm! And, no, the bar will not forget the Guinness on the side.

As for the live entertainment, Boston’s own resident DJ and keyboardist Brother Cleve will take the stage from 6pm–8pm, while Robert Emmet Dunlap and Hogan’s Goat will assume musical duties from 8pm–12:30am. All of this and more is available free of cover charge, although attendees do have to pay for the drinks and food (of course!). To show appreciation, The Beehive is even throwing in a few “mini surprises,” the exact nature of which I know not. Still, I’ll go ahead and guess a little green will be involved.

The Beehive’s Bee Irish event is co-sponsored by the Boston Irish Tourism Association, so you pretty much know beforehand that the celebration’s going to be nothing but good times.

Are you in the Boston area and still looking for somewhere to go with your special someone tonight? Or are you still looking for someone to go somewhere with tonight? Either way, the South End’s Beehive is at your service.

From 10pm EST tonight until 2am tomorrow morning, the Tremont Street club (541 Tremont Street, Boston, 617-423-0069) is holding an oh-so-special Love Ball. Better yet, admission to the first annual event is free, a detail we thrifty folks always love to hear, although you will need money to imbibe alcoholic beverages from the bar.

If you’re game to stop by, you’ll have the opportunity to participate in all sorts of holiday-appropriate activities, such as ogle a few fetching attendees here and partake of a little matchmaking there, all under the watchful, amorous eye of entertainer Ryan Landry and with the one and only Barry White crooning in the background.

The highlight comes at midnight, at which time two lucky people will make nightlife history when they’re crowned the King and Queen of the First Annual Love Ball. How exciting is that? Surf over to the Beehive website to learn more about the club and tonight’s Valentine’s Day festivities.
