Unique place. Good drinks and small bites. Very small space, so getting seats for large parties (4+) or at peak times will be difficult or impossible. Perfect for date night or a pregame/post-meal cocktail. Service varies by visit.

Mixologist was fantastic. We accidentally broke a glass and they were very nice about it. Cant wait to go back to try more of the menu. Food and drinks were 10/10.

This place is super cute! The way it’s decorated and their music made it a great vibe for a Friday. I see this being perfect for a date night. Came with a group of friends and they were very accommodating. Their bartender and serve were friendly. We only got drinks for happy hour, we ended up trying more than their hh drinks and everything was delicious!

The staff was welcoming and friendly, we never had an empty glass. The drinks were superb and absolutely gorgeous. Such a neat place with a unique vibe. A must for drinks before dinner.

This place is so hidden! After you find it, you'll enjoy a great, quiet patio with excellent gin drinks- and they're large too! The place is named after Chef Bart's favorite chicken which is hilarious. The vibe fits exactly with that chicken premise.

Delightful bar/restaurant with a “secret bar” vibe because it’s behind the Belga and you have to enter from the alleyway. Great food and drinks, would highly recommend!
Vegetarian options: Yes!

Very cute rooftop bar. Nice menu and great drink selection
Good food and great atmosphere. It is a cute rooftop Bar. It has space for about 40 people. You really have to walk down the alley and behind the building to find The Betsy. The Betsy shares the kitchen with the restaurant on the main street (with the same address).

Small rooftop spot that specializes in gin cocktails. I arrived just before 5pm and there was only myself and two others there. But Hunny, by the time 6:00 rolled around, it was jammed packed with a line to get in! The cocktails and food are pretty good, but a little overpriced for the portions. Happy hour is only from 4:30-5:30, so get there when the doors open and take advantage of that hour!!

I've been visiting Betsy off and on for about 7 years, waiting to see how the restaurant and bar develop.
Pre-covid, it was just a little Rooftop resort above Belga. Good beers, craft cocktails, nice staff. Sometime during Covid, they added a covering. Staff stayed, drinks got better, and place became just a hint more intimate.
Post Covid, it hasn't really changed a bunch in the past 4 years, but why change when you e found the sweet spot? Throughout it all, the staff has maintained their dedicated charm and attentiveness.
Part of me doesn't want to write this review, because I selfishly don't want others to overtake this gem. However, I definitely want you all to enjoy what I have. Happy hour, date night, brunch, or just a place to breath amidst the bustle of DC... I highly recommend you give Betsy a try. It's like a speakeasy that's just trying to speak easy. Let yourself breath, and come enjoy this great spot.
