Beauty & Essex, which features a speakeasy influenced hidden entrance through a pawn shop in Mohegan Sun’s Casino of the Sky, is a vibrant restaurant and lounge that opened in early 2025. The venue is also home to the Peacock Dining Room and the Locket Private Dining Room, separated by a screen wall of antique frames. Each of these rooms are inspired by the delicate yet glamorous details of jewelry.

The cuisine, much like the design, is intended to set a new course with unique shareable dishes and twists on classic cocktails. Acclaimed chef and co-creator Chris Santos was one of the pioneers of the small, share plate dining trend that has swept the nation, and with the Beauty & Essex menu, he once again has created waves on the food scene.

Beauty & Essex at Mohegan Sun also offers the Beauty for Two menu on Sunday, Monday & Thursday, where couples can enjoy a special menu and drinks for $99, including dishes like the Gochujang Salmon, Wagyu Steak Tartare, Garganelli and more.
