The Betsy is a restaurant offering a speakeasy experience with a tightly packed, dimly lit space that captures the essence of a 1920s mob era atmosphere. Located near the Metro, it is a great spot for a night of casual drinking with friends. The cocktails, particularly the impressive gin & tonic selection, have received positive reviews. The drinks here are meticulously crafted, and the menu is thoughtfully put together, making it a great gin bar with skilled bartenders. Though the food selection is not very large, many dishes, including the Jerk Turkey Bacon, are enjoyed for their quality and flavor. The restaurant features chicken-themed decor and humor, although some may find the ambiance slightly grimy, and the kitchen closes early, around 10 pm.
In addition to dining, The Betsy also provides lodging with exceptional customer service. Guests have reported warm welcomes with Prosecco and chocolates, and staff members have been praised for their helpfulness and attentiveness. The rooftop bar and beach-inclusive features have also garnered positive feedback. However, the small space may make it challenging for large groups to find seating, especially during peak times. Overall, The Betsy offers a unique dining and lodging experience perfect for date nights or casual gatherings.
