History

Beastro opened in 2021. [2]

Marshawn Lynch, Jun Park, and Kevin Yamada originally planned to open a Hawaiian restaurant at Hotel Vance called Beast, with recipes by Lynch's Filipino grandmother. However, the proposed name conflicted with Naomi Pomeroy's restaurant of the same name. [3] [4] The name 'Beast by Marshawn Lynch & Kama’aina' was changed to 'Beastro'. [5]

The restaurant closed permanently in July 2025. [2]
