Like others have said, the bartender was extremely rude. I stepped in for brunch on a Saturday early afternoon. From the beginning, the bartender was behaving as if I’m in his way, even though the place was not half-full. The worst part came when I took out my laptop, as I needed to send a quick email. Immediately, he came and told me to take away my laptop, as it’s not allowed in his place?! I said that it would be quick; and he even had the gut to return five mins later and check if I’m done. He said this is a bar, and that I would affect others having fun by taking out a laptop. I understand that it’s a cocktail bar, but it’s also a brunch place in the afternoons. The food and drinks are mediocre at best. If you go, just make sure that you don’t marginally look/act like a serious person.

Had the most amazing time at Betsy! The bartender, Arlsan , truly made the atmosphere so much fun. I can’t wait to come back and enjoy wonderful cocktails and delicious food.

The drinks here never fail to disappoint. Everything is so meticulously crafted and the menu is thoughtfully put together. A great gin bar and an even batter bartender

Stopped by with some out-of-town friends for a day of drinks, but unfortunately the experience was disappointing. The bartender had a consistently rude attitude, which really dampened the mood. We were hoping for a fun outing, but the service made it hard to enjoy ourselves.

Bartender was rude from the start for no reason. He gave us mean looks the whole time and stopped pouring us water when we asked for the check.

I LOVE this place but unfortunately won’t be back…. This is because I’m tired of trying to come for brunch and it being closed! We check the website and it says open at 9:30 for Brunch… it NEVER has been. I’m done trying. If you happen to get lucky and find it open the food, drinks, and atmosphere are great but minimum they could change the hours on their website to let people know when they are ACTUALLY open.

I’ve been a few times and always wonder why I don’t come more! Cocktail selection is amazing and bartenders know what they are doing. Not a huge food selection but still super good.
What a fun and great discovery. Up the stairs in a back alley is this fun and authentic cocktailbar (and quite extensive bites menu as well. Their selection of gin & tonic is quite impressive. The bar tender Arslan was a gem and made sure everybody in the group what they were expecting. Lovely lovely. I will definitely be back.

The tomato butter with the nori is awesome. That final bite was top notch.
Their cocktails are also good.

Looking to get acquainted with gin? This is the place. Looking for innovative cocktails? This is the place. The vibe is fun, the drinks are really good. So is the food.

Arslan is an artist with cocktails. The atmosphere is amazing. Favorite place in DC.

Some of the worst service ever. Which is a shame because the drinks are good.
