About

This is the kind of place that feels easygoing at first and more impressive the longer you stay. Bar Betsie has the warmth of a true neighborhood bar, but the drinks show real craft and attention to detail. That balance is what makes it stand out. You can come in for a casual round, settle into a booth, and still feel like you are somewhere with a strong point of view. In a city full of bars that lean too hard in one direction, this one gets the mix right.
