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 this industry. Nurse Bettie is a sexy, legit dive with an organic feel and a melting pot crowd. You will find everyone from your local celebrity musicians to the Upper East Side banking girl who wants to let her hair down. Nurse Bettie will be nursing all her patrons one drink at a time.

Best Bar in the LES
Reviewed by lesgirl1 on 2009-09-14T10:25:10Z

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

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

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! :)

Bartender, bouncer and owners have been friendly both times my friends and i have gone here. The decor and entire feel of this small bar is sultry. drinks are on key. the dirty martini and specialty drinks are tasteful. I like this place because it doesnt get too packed to the point where it is elbow to elbow. The burlesque show was very entertaining. must go again!

Great new place in the LES
Reviewed by shoe27 on 2007-03-08T11:39:08Z

I accidentaly came across Nurse Bettie and have to say what a find. From the laid-back attitude of the staff to the great drink prices, NB hits the bulleyes as a new fresh place to frequent. The pin-up art and the ladies behind the bar are easy-on-the-eyes. Ask for a naughty nurse shooter! I'll definitely come back.

Pros: Drink prices, staff, decors

Cons: its on the cozy side.
