The atmosphere is really neat; its fairly limited seating, but they make the best use out of the space. We came on Saturday afternoon and did happy hour drinks. No food served here, but great for a quick drink on your way to dinner or a night cap.

Nice spot for a date, hang, or solo trip. The bar has a cozy atmosphere, great staff, and delicious drinks. Cocktails are great (the evil one!) but there’s also a sweet beer and shot special! Can’t go wrong with the daily happy hour either.The live burlesque shows (every weds & thurs) are produced by the most entertaining hosts, always guaranteed a good time.

We ironically came here just a few hours after our friend sprained her knee, since it’s called Nurse Bettie, for sh**s and giggles. Ended up being such a great choice! Small, intimate, but fun place to hangout and grab a drink with friends, or maybe go on a date for a more quiet experience. Great music the entire time. Drinks were good and strong. We’d definitely come back and do recommend others try it!

We had a Feeld day chatting with Jaster and listening to his music. He’s a great bartender, but when he gets too confident (and he will) you can take him down a notch simply by pretending his drinks are bad. Pro tip: he’s especially proud of his espresso martinis.

Loved this place close to our hotel- hotel indigo. Stopped in for a drink

Great little neighborhood bar with a fun pin-up theme. The happy hour (including weekends) was great, the bartender was fantastic, and the music was on point!Seating is limited so it’s best for smaller groups.

Excellent cocktails and the guys working there are very good in his job went on thursday for burlesque and was an amazing night

An undeniably wonderful place to support on a Wednesday night and stay. The staff is inviting, and the music 🎶 was absolutely incredibly diverse. Its a fun, smart place to mingle with the mosaic that is New York. Cabaret on certain nights.

Review 12 (2024-12-10 - Rating: 5)
Went there with low expectations and turned out to be one of the best bars we have ever been too. The owner/ bar tender really cares to make you feel at home. Honestly of the 6 bars we tried on our trip this is one of two we will definitely return to next time. Thank you so much for our time with you!!!’

Love this bar. Relaxed atmosphere, wonderfully made cocktails. Almost don’t want to post this as it’s one of my favorite bars in the city and I don’t want everyone knowing about it! But it deserves to be known for it’s fantastic staff and a non pretentious, down to earth vibe. You can get food from the Mexican next door if you’re hungry, which is a personal fav thing of mine to do while drinking margaritas.

Industry spot. A classic with great performers (burlesque is great) and staff. The cocktails hit and the music is great. www

Review 19 (2017-10-10 - Rating: 5)
I came on a Sunday to meet a blind date. The place is super small but it works. So much pinup art but not tacky. The bartender is super friendly and the music was great 80s rock. The drinks were amazingly cheap. I had 6 or 7 Guinness and my date had a few speciality drinks. The bill was about 40 or 50 bucks which is a great price especially in this area.

Come on a Wednesday or Thursday for the burlesque show. I havent been on a Thursday but the show on Wednesday is usually hilarious and a lot of fun. Drinks arent too pricey at $6 for a beer and they usually have a couple decent ones on tap. They also usually do a late night happy hour during/after the show. Bartenders arent very friendly but theyre pretty quick with getting drinks. Its a small but fun place.

Review 21 (2018-06-07 - Rating: 4)
A friend and I went to see their burlesque show. The MC was very entertaining and the performers were gorgeous. Bartenders got through the patrons in a timely manner. Limited seating. I am looking forward to my next visit.

Review 22 (2019-08-22 - Rating: 5)
I stopped in here last Saturday when visiting the city to catch up with some friends around midnight. There was still room to grab a seat and people watch. Alot of fun and a great DJ with the music just at the right volume to catch up with friends and still bust a move. I recommend this over most places in the East Village when it starts to get just a little too busy, this is where you want to be.

Review 23 (2013-05-18 - Rating: 5)
I came to this small quaint bar with a group of people. I did not pay the check, so I did not see the menu or the prices. There is living room furniture and soda shop stools at the bar. We had a drink similar to a mojito with a cucumber in it. It was very refreshing and unique. The bar puts on burlesque shows on Wednesday and Thursday nights. Very unique. I would come here with friends. The service is excellent.

Review 24 (2013-05-17 - Rating: 5)
Small, chill, old school, and cozy place with plenty of burlesque paintings hanging on the wall. They have burlesque dancers here performing here free on Wednesday and Thursday nights. The bartender here was pretty cool, he was telling us about the history of the neighborhood and the prohibition gangsters that use to run it.

Review 25 (2017-01-25 - Rating: 5)
I almost dont want to review this to give up the goods. This place is one of the best hole-in-the-wall bars in NYC. A nearly everlasting happy hour, cozy interior, and weekly burlesque shows make this a truly one-of-a-kind spot. Highly recommended.

Review 26 (2020-12-07 - Rating: 5)
What a great bar. The decor was great. The Saturday night happy hour was great. $5 tap bear and one free drink from yelp. The bar is small and cozy. The bar tender was very nice. I highly recommend it.

Cute spot! Went here for burlesque (we went on the wrong night for that) and ended up staying and being charmed by the space. Attentive staff and at least on Monday night, a killer DJ mixing 80s oldies with more modern fare.

Review 28 (2021-10-07 - Rating: 5)
Nurse Bettie is a tiny bar with a tiny stage but with so much energy its explosive. Ive gone here for years and can never say Ive ever had a bad time. The drinks will take care of you and cure what ails you treating boredom, dullness. Side effects include good memories and fun times along with burlesque and other great shows.

Review 29 (2013-04-10 - Rating: 4)
I often go here on Wednesdays for the free late-night burlesque shows with Shelly the Singing Siren. The drinks are pretty great and the decor is lovely. Get there early if youre there to see a show, though, because the space is small and there are only a handful of good seats from which you can see the stage. (Theres standing room too, though.)

Review 30 (2019-11-11 - Rating: 5)
Craft cocktails, personable and friendly bartenders that treat you like a local even when you arent and burlesque! How could it be any better than this? If were in NYC, we always plan on a visit and you should too.

Review 31 (2013-05-17 - Rating: 5)
This is a great speakeasy that has a burlesque show in the evenings. This speakeasy bar offers creative drinks and a cozy atmosphere. Make sure to get there early if you want to grab a table for your group, as the bar is on the smaller side. Then, once youve settled in, order a Moscow Mule or a Aperol Negroni and take in the decor of the place while enjoying a drink with a friend. Burlesque shows run on Wednesdays and Thursdays, but be sure to check the schedule of shows and events online ahead of time just in case.

Review 32 (2024-06-28 - Rating: 5)
Chill place for a date or a quick drink. couches were comfy. service was good. not good for large groups due to the small space but great otherwise

Review 33 (2018-01-09 - Rating: 4)
Love this spot and the only reason Im digging it is because the DJ kills me. The playlists are 2 steps forward and 1 step back, its almost like they are trying to jar you into buying another drink out of confusion. Otherwise, quaint little spot with a pin-up vibe and good drinks. A but small so not really good for big groups.

We had a fabulous time at Thursday night burlesque at Nurse Bettie. It was one of the smallest shows Ive ever seen with only three performers including the host, and they killed it! Very intimate space, we all got to know each other quite well. I would absolutely come back here in a heartbeat for another show. We loved it!

My go to for night caps and long nights! Everyone who works here is incredible and makes the bar the reason I go. Burlesque shows on Wednesday & Thursday are a great time and fun experience! Drinks are great with a fantastic selection of whiskeys and bourbon. Never a dull moment here.Its small is not a reason to leave a negative review- go to some massive bar then & deal with that mess. It being small is what makes it so unique and reminds me of the old LES.

Cute little bar with burlesque shows on Wednesday and Thursdays. Its worth stopping... probably on the earlier end because the place does get crowded. The drinks were good. The service was excellent I must say that the security staff, the bartenders, and the performers all made the wonderful atmosphere that the patrons experience here.I will definitely back and probably with a lot more of my friends.

Nurse Bettie brings to my mind how a small place can be so optimally utilized. Trust me this place was a complete surprise to me when I visited it first time. Located on a tiny by lane of LES, this place lives up to all the hype and excitement around it.The first time I went here was with a group of friends during our bar crawl session in LES. This was our last spot of the day, by that time many people had dropped out of our group. We walked in here expecting nothing on a Wednesday night but were surprised to see a live burlesque show going on. The performers were sweet, naughty, humorous and made sure everybody out in the audience had a nice time.Second time I went here on a Thursday evening but we reached very late but still didnt pay cover to get in. I guess they dont have any cover on Burlesque show nights. The place was buzzing with people, mostly were LES regulars. The presenter for the night gave a really nice performance. My drink, Moscow mule was really awesome.It is now one of my favorite bars nestled in the Lower East Side. They have somegreat specialty cocktails and fun music.

Intimate bar in LES on several levels. I have Google to thank for discovering this gem. The bartender made me a Hopscotch, which was absolutely incredible. Great drinks, great staff, and excellent entertainment. The shows are really something. Trust me, you want to go.

Review 88 (2018-04-05 - Rating: 5)
Love this place! Out on the city with friends looking for some of my old haunts which are all closed now. Waiter from Beauty and Essex recommended Nurse Betty it was a Tuesday night so our expectations were not so high but we ended up having an amazing night and closed the place down at 4! Bar tender friendly and easy going. DJ played cracking tunes. And quick on playing requests. Will definitely go there again. Made me know that there is still true soul in LES!

Nurse Bettie was the second stop of my Bachelorette party night and it was amazing. We reserved a table which was right there when we walked in the bartenders introduced themselves and were absolutely amazing we loved them so much. They were really attentive made sure we always got our drinks. It was amazing. Sure the space is on the smaller side but we never felt crowded. It was clean and bright and well organized.Nurse Bettie will now and forever always be a stop when ever I’m in that part of the city

Review 91 (2019-02-22 - Rating: 5)
Cool spot. If you are going for the burlesque show make sure to get there between 9-930pm on Wed/Thu. By 1015 there is barely any room, the place is jam packed. The bartenders are super cool to out-of-towners. The iced whiskey coffee was good and different for sure.

Nurse Bettie is an adorable little place tucked along Suffolk Street. Themed after Bettie Paige, large throwback pin-ups adorn the walls. Bartenders are friendly and accommodating and know how to make a mean cocktail. The large windows in the front open, making it a great place to visit when the weather is nice. A charming find in the LES. Cant wait to come back for a burlesque show.

Review 98 (2013-05-06 - Rating: 4)
I came here the first time for drinks and the second time for their weekly show. The place is small, but the happy hour is pretty good and the drinks are made well. As for the show itself, it gets pretty crowded fairly quickly, so I would probably get there at least a half hour before the show starts. The show itself is great but remember since its a free show, expect to see more amateurs than professionals.

Review 101 (2018-09-08 - Rating: 4)
Honestly. The cocktails are ok. Not really worth the price. But at $14 that’s not bad for the area. You want to come here because they do happy hour till ten and it’s $5 wells and drafts.

Nurse Bettie is a cute little bar that one would think is just a quaint, shiny and well decorated bar. This is true and most nights its pretty quiet. Tuesdays and Thursdays however the place is packed and the atmosphere excited for their burlesque shows. The performers are always talented and the crowd high energy but not rowdy. They also have a drink special if you check in on Foursquare so you can keep your drink cost low! Pretty (almost) naked ladies and a nice atmosphere. Couldnt ask for much more.

Review 107 (2013-05-17 - Rating: 4)
Came here as part of a cocktail tour event. Fitting to the name, the decor here is largely a cross between burlesque and pin-up girls. The bar itself isnt very big, but its quite cozy. The bartender was friendly, attentive, efficient, and was more than happy to fill you in on the history of the area and the bar itself if you are interested in learning about them. The drink here was quite good. The music was a bit loud on a no-show night, which can make conversation a little bit difficult. From what I heard they also have burlesque shows regularly.

I live in Manhattan and Nurse Bettie is my favorite bar in NYC. It has by far the best vibe in the LES. It always draws a friendly, interesting and eclectic crowd of people. Ive met so many entertaining characters at Nurse Bettie. Something about a small, simi-crowded, yet intimate venue that makes people more outgoing. Good drink specials and a diverse drink menu also helps! There really isnt a dance floor at NB but there are always people dancing late night at NB. It is the good music and comfortable atmosphere - anything goes really. Be yourself, relax and tip well. Youll definitely enjoy your night and most likely meet some new peeps.

Last thursday me and my husband went to this place.This was my first burlesque show.Its a small cozy place with two tables and couple of couches. Its really a small place and was fully packed.I couldnt not see the stage, so the bouncer told me i could stand on the couch and see the show. That was really nice of him, i could see the whole show.The staff is nice and friendly, the girls who were performing were amazing. Awsome dance moves!Bar is very reasonable as compared to other bars in same neighbourhood.The best thing about this place is there is no cover charge. Tips are appreciated and they deserve too.Definitely will be going there soon.

Although small, its a really fun spot. Good drinks and fun shows. Most people coming yo this spot are very polite. The age range is around 25-45 ish. Drinks arent cheap zbut happy hour is really good.

Only been once coz a Slipper Room regular was there, but it seems like a great little place for drinks and sexy shows. I really should go there more.
