    Betty blue eyes
    Michelle V.

    The happy hour is incredible! 4-7 during the week when they are open Tuesday-Friday! Half off cocktails!! It is honestly one of the best cocktail bars we have been to. The bartender working tonight was amazing - so helpful and friendly! We ordered a couple of different drinks - I got the raspberry beret - I could have 6 of these - truly so light and delicious and sweet! An absolute classic My fiancée got the Betty blue eyes which is like a whiskey smash - he loved it - smashed blueberries and whiskey is a classic He also ordered the old fashioned and it was the best old fashioned he's had - he could have multiple of these too lol I also ordered the mariposa - a grapefruit Moscow mule - so flavorful and so smooth - a great cocktail honestly The indoor is beautiful - the decor is old fashioned and stunning. We will return for happy hour forever honestly - we loved this place

    We visited on a Saturday evening during a UT game and had the entire bar to ourselves! This cocktail bar exudes elegance and sophistication. While the cocktails are on the pricier side, they are well worth it for the quality. If you're looking for a perfectly crafted drink, this is the place to be! The bartender has years of experience in mixology, and no matter what you choose, you can't go wrong with any of their creations.

    The Betty is a new vinyl cocktail bar in Austin. It's between 5th and 6th. It's very LA. There are multiple bouncers and celebrates at the entrance. There is a dress code that must be met before being allowed in. Seems every night has a life DJ. The VIP section roped off with bottle service from the "bottle girls" seemed a bit ridiculous given that there were four people inside. The outdoor patio looked really nice and relaxing. And the design on the interior is pretty unforgettable. The Betty also offers steak dinners. This is the perfect place to take your 25 year old CEO boss who just moved here from LA.

    We went for happy hour on a Friday and got the best service. They were very attentive and the vibe was excellent. On or two drinks weren't made to our satisfaction and they made it right. I'm not a fan of cool places and poor service but this place was a+ Very nice place to have a romantic date or a live congratulatory drink. Each spot felt like VIP

    The ambiance was beautiful, 10/10. Much like a few of the new glam places that have popped up, we didn't feel like the cocktails were up to par, especially at the prices. Beautiful per the pictures, but taste-wise it was just okay. It definitely has potential. They only have food on Thursdays (unless you count popcorn) and it sounds like they have dress code, but only enforce later in the night when it gets busy.

    No matter the craving, The Betty has a delightful libation to satisfy it. Every bartender, cocktail waitress, and even the DJ exudes a palpable passion for their respective craft. Nothing comes even close to The Betty. The vibe is sexy. This is excellence.

    Thursday night steak night is a must!

    Steak night Thursdays is a MUST! Double win if you go during their HH which is 4-7 pm You can choose between 3 or 4 kinds of steaks and it comes with two sides. The rubicon cocktail was super good! I really enjoyed this cocktail bar that's right off W 6th street. Great service, good drinks though a bit pricey, very intimate, classy vibes! I will be coming back on another Thursday night

    The interior design is beautiful!

    A very trendy spot with great design. The drinks are a bit overpriced, however. Our server was very friendly

    Recently visited the Betty for cocktails this past weekend in Austin. Originally we were told that there was only bar seating but we ended up getting a table up a couple stairs and it was like the best seat in the house! Although our server was super friendly it took a while for anyone to come to our table to greet us and even longer for us to get our drinks (about 30 min total). The martinis weren't our favorite and cost about $60 for two of them. We ended up leaving after just because we didn't want to wait longer and pay that much, but the inside is really beautiful and it's a very intimate candle lit spot.

But it was more important to the Powder Room that the next group got their table on time, apparently. The drinks took soooo long, we got ONE round in, and were asked to leave the table before our second round arrived. They had no issues when taking our second round order while we were seated, but we were asked to leave the table immediately after. This round also took forever and we drank it standing, crowded, in everyone's way. I was embarrassed as it was my birthday, and I was taking a group of 7 other people - new to Austin - here to check out what was one of my favorite spots. I was bragging about it and chose it over other spots on their list. They hated it. I'm disappointed. Our server was great to us and apologetic about the service bar.

There is a parking lot that you can get validation for 2 hrs free, but after that you will be charged. Overall though, it's totally worth a visit! The bartenders are really friendly, the bathrooms are immaculate, and the inside of the place is really cute -- think kinda pink vintage? There are some tables, and big comfy couches around a coffee table in the middle of the bar which is where we sat. I had one of their happy hour cocktails that was similar to a creamy espresso martini, and they are 50% off on happy hour days/times! My friend got one of their floral cocktails which wasn't discounted but I LOVED it personally. I also got a strawberry matcha drink (non alcoholic) that was a little too sweet in my opinion; I finished it but wouldn't get it again. Overall though the cocktails and vibe in there are worth a visit alone! When it's not too hot, the area outside has little mini-chandeliers and is also very vibey.

They have premium prices still. They sell pastries and they have a taco food truck connected to it. Both are still very much overpriced.

We weren't looking for much by way of menu just a few snacks or small bites for Girl Dinner. We found just that here. The Sumac and pepper popcorn was to die for!

I can't remember whether it was described as dramatic as it showed up, but let me tell you there was drama! It was served in a flaming skull, garnished with beautiful flowers and fresh fruit, and filled to the brim with God knows how much alcohol and juice, but it was a time! To heighten the experience, he sprinkled something in a shaker and the flames just erupted! The whole restaurant stopped and I cackled! To put out the flame, Noah gave one dramatic clap, and the flame disappear disappeared! I want to thank Noah and the team for encouraging my ridiculousness and delivering me an excellent craft drink with all the drama I deserved and could ever ask for! 10/10!

The bartender claimed I was drunk and cut me off anyway. I was at the bar talking to a girl while waiting to get a drink (the wait was long because the service is very slow, despite the bar not being very busy at all). She was clearly into me, and the bartender kept jumping in trying to talk to her too (instead of doing his job making drinks). He was doing all sorts of things to try and flirt with her and make her laugh: pulling out and showing her buckets of pre mixed cocktails, running and sliding under the bar, etc. She was engaging with both of us , and right in the middle of that, I get cut off out of nowhere. No explanation other than claiming I looked drunk, which I very clearly wasn't. It felt very clear what was going on--he wanted me out of the way. I left and asked the bouncer on my way out if I seemed drunk. This was literally two minutes later. He said no, not at all, and asked me why I would even ask that. I then told him exactly what happened and asked him to let the owner or whoever was in charge know about this extremely unprofessional conduct so they can discipline the bartender. His response was that the bartender has discretion to cut anyone off, and let me know the bartender is supposedly married so he couldn't have been flirting with any of the customers. Well, sounds like his logic is flawed--not only COULD he flirt with his customers, he WAS, and was therefore cheating. I hope his wife finds out. This is perfectly representative of Austin customer service lately and not normal in other places. I was in Tampa for an entire month earlier this year and this would've been unthinkable there. I'm not coming back.
