i've heard great things about their food and arcade games combo sounds like an absolute blast 
they're really committing to making it inclusive which is so awesome 
megan shaw's vision is super inspiring, love that she's putting corktown back on the map 
also gotta say the grand opening event is gonna be lit 
who's with me in celebrating their soft opening? 
their menu is so fire 
and the arcade games? that's just genius 
also love that they're making an effort to be inclusive 
gotta check this place out ASAP 
. I mean, come on, who thought that was a good idea? It's like they're trying to appeal to the 15-year-old in all of us. Street Beet is great and all, but let's not get carried away with the nostalgia factor. The real magic happens when you actually try their food - have you had their meatless coney dogs?! 
Anyway, I guess it's nice that they're trying to create an inclusive atmosphere, but can we please focus on the actual food and not just the gimmicks? And by the way, 4 pm to 11 pm is a bit late for a brunch spot... shouldn't it be more like 8 am to 2 pm or something? Just saying 
It's like the ultimate combo of food and fun. And can we talk about how cool it is that they're trying to make this place inclusive for everyone? 
finally a place that doesn't totally suck in Corktown and it's a restaurant... how exciting for all you plant-based enthusiasts out there 
I mean, who needs the real deal when you can have a vegan "coney dog" 
I've been following Street Beet's journey online and it's amazing to see them finally settling into a permanent home. Their menu is, like, totally on point - who wouldn't want meatless coney dogs and vegan nachos?! 
. I've been hearing great things about their pop-up events, but it's awesome to see them finally having a permanent home where they can share their creativity with the community 
I mean, who wouldn't want to hang out with arcade games and plant-based eats? It's like a mashup of The Matrix and The Great British Baking Show 
? And I'm so down for an all-inclusive atmosphere where everyone feels welcome. It's like, the more diverse the menu and vibes, the better, right?
