What People Are Saying About Nurse Bettie
The Owner
Nurse Bettie
Owner
Nurse Bettie is a petite space paying big tribute to the 1950's Americana pin up legends including the infamous Bettie Paige. Nurse Bettie is a bar with aspirations of becoming a neighborhood staple and destination for non- LES'ers. The idea is simple: insanely inexpensive drinks, beautifully done decor, welcoming, vibrant ambiance and good ol' rock and roll. Nurse Bettie is a place of inclusion rather than exclusion. They welcome everyone who wants to have a genuinely good time without the frigidity of your average NYC nightclub, while retaining the cool that it takes to pave your own route…

In Short – There's an inkling of an old-time peep show in the tinted windows' cut-out keyholes and portraits of 1950s pin-ups provocatively posed. Filling out the rest of the tiny room is a laid-back neighborhood vibe--the punky bartenders hail mostly from CBGBs and at any given moment at least a handful of the patrons are their friends. Order a vodka tonic, and the bartender may turn it around on you, proposing a dash of blueberry or one of their inventive martinis.

Best Bar in the LES
by lesgirl1
My favorite neighborhood spot. Drinks are always great, music is always on point, bartenders are all awesome and the owner is the nicest guy on the block.

Inviting atmosphere, hot bartenders, great drink prices
by dwntwnmixup
I really want to be selfish and not give Nurse Bettie all the props it deserves (want to keep this gem my own little secret--once you go, you'll know why). I've been to NB a few times now, and it's always goooood times. The atmposhere is hot ala Bettie Page style pin-ups, the bartenders are not only funny but they're also way cool, and the drink prices are right on. I work in an industry that allows me to sample some of the best, new hot spots, and many times I'm left feeling blah about the experience-pretentious doorman, overpriced & watered down drinks, and a space filled with way too many pretty people. Nurse Bettie breaks the mold. It's destined to be the new LES hotspot.

Best Specialty Martinis
by crysclausen
Super cool, trendy, 50s pin-up style bar with excellent specialty martinis. My favorite is the Bazooka Bettie, their bubblegum martini. Service is very attentive & friendly... definitely worth checking out! And don't forget to check out the bathroom! :)
- Pros: cheap drinks, friendly bartenders & easily accessible by train
