Amazing drinks. Amazing atmosphere. So happy for this team (Jane Jane) for expanding across the city! 12/10 for sure.
Drinks pictured are the Devil in a Red Dress( rocks glass) and Midnight Bloom (coupe). I didn’t get to partake in the cheese puffs but I’m very sure it was an honest mistake. So next time! While I don’t normally like tequila based drinks, the Devil in a Red Dress was a hit! Highly recommend!

The drinks were really good and our waitress was so kind and had really good recommendations. am deducting the stars from the rating because the bar smelled pretty weird when we walked in and the hostess was rude and truly seemed like she did not want to be there when she greeted us.

I just discovered Bar Betsie, and it was great! It's a great atmosphere and their cocktail menu is a standout. The real highlight is the exceptional service, and the staff are genuinely warm and passionate. It’s the perfect spot for any occasion, including a date night, drinks with friends, and more. I'd put Bar Bestie on your list of places to check out!

The little bar is so cool! I love the vibe in here. My friends and I were visiting DC for the weekend and made a point to take the subway over here. The drinks were so good. We even got the buffalo chicken dip and it was so tasty!

We came in from out of town and had a wonderful experience at this bar! It was perfect for a conversation and catch up with friends, the music was fun, and the cocktails were delicious. I liked that I could actually spend time with my friends where other bars can feel icky or jam packed.
This place is amazing but the MUSIC IS TOO LOUD. when I asked if it could be turned down, I was told the point of loud music was so that people couldn’t hear others conversation.
While I understand this, I wasn’t asking for it to be turned to volume 2, just turned down two notches, I was literally screaming at my friend next to me—that was a bit much.

Stopped by Bar Betsie for some before-dinner drinks last night… and ended up going back for after-dinner drinks too. It’s hands-down the best new cocktail bar in DC — especially in the Union Market area. Moody lighting, dark red neon glow, warm vintage vibes — the whole setup just hits.
Started with a Devil in a Red Dress (yes, it’s as good as it sounds) — perfect balance of spice, fruit, and kick. After dinner, I went back for the Silent Star and some cheeseballs before heading home. Unreal.
10/10. Great people, amazing service, and the owner was even there checking on tables. You can tell this place is obsessed with every little detail. Ideal for a cool work drinks thing, a date, or a chill night out with friends. You gotta try it. The vibe is unmatched.

Moody and sultry vibes paired with an A-list drink selection made for an excellent post dinner choice in Union Market. Perfect for a date but also would be good for a small group as it offers booth seating. Will be coming back here!

Went with friends to Bar Betsie and it is such a cool space and a perfect cocktail bar in Union Market. The interior is so cozy and electric, our server was so friendly and attentive, the cocktails were absolutely amazing and the food was all so tasty. Its a perfect spot to get a cocktail before enjoying dinner in Union Market and we will definitely be back soon!
