The editorial take
Betty is a wine bar with a multi-region list that runs from Cava and Lambrusco to Grüner Veltliner, Mosel Riesling, Morgon Gamay, and Saumur-Champigny Cabernet Franc. Sparkling, white, red, and rosé are poured by the glass and bottle, and a rotating chilled red keeps the by-the-glass options moving. The non-alcoholic side is more considered than most: a dedicated spritz built on NA aperitivo and NA sparkling wine, plus a coffee and tea menu that includes panela latte, cafe de olla, and a salted dark chocolate mocha.
- What should I order?
- Start with the Cavas Bolet Cava Brut Nature Classic, then move to the Marcel Lapierre Gamay from Morgon if you want a red with structure. For a non-alcoholic option, the Just a Spritz with NA aperitivo, NA sparkling wine, and amarena cherry is the clear signature.
- Who will enjoy this place?
- Anyone building a glass or bottle around sparkling, white, red, or rosé will find a workable range, and the Wine Club and suggested food and wine pairings give regulars a reason to return. The non-alcoholic spritz and coffee drinks make it a practical stop for someone skipping alcohol.
- When should I go?
- A glass or bottle from the by-the-glass list works for an early evening stop or a low-key catch-up; the coffee and tea menu also makes it a reasonable daytime choice.
- What should I expect to spend?
- Glass prices run 15 to 27 and bottles 34 to 52. Two glasses can approach the cost of a bottle, so the bottle is often the better value. Non-alcoholic specialty drinks are 6 to 6.5, and teas are 5 to 10.
- What makes the beverage program distinctive?
- A wine bar that treats non-alcoholic drinking with the same menu space as wine: a dedicated spritz using NA aperitivo and NA sparkling wine, plus a full coffee and tea list. The rotating chilled red and the multi-region by-the-glass program keep the wine side from feeling static.
Beverage categories
We only score what a venue sets out to do. Categories a venue doesn't attempt are left unscored rather than penalized.
Wine
A multi-region list with sparkling, white, red, and rosé by the glass and bottle, including a rotating chilled red. Named producers span Catalonia, Lambrusco, Austria, Mosel, Santa Barbara, Beaujolais, Saumur-Champigny, and France. A Wine Club and suggested food and wine pairings round out the program.
Menu strengths
- — Sparkling, white, red, and rosé are all available by the glass and bottle, so the list works for both a single pour and a full bottle.
- — The rotating chilled red keeps the by-the-glass selection from going stale.
- — A Wine Club and suggested food and wine pairings give the list a practical, repeat-visit structure.
Standout selections
- — Cavas Bolet, Cava Brut Nature Classic, Catalonia, NV — a sparkling option on the by-the-glass and bottle list.
- — Marcel Lapierre, Gamay, Morgon, Beaujolais, 2024 — a red with producer recognition on the list.
- — Grunhasuer, 'Maximin', Riesling, Mosel, 2024 — a white that adds a German benchmark to the range.
Pricing: Glass prices 15 to 27; bottle prices 34 to 52. Two glasses can cost nearly as much as a bottle.
Nonalcoholic
A dedicated non-alcoholic spritz made with free spirit NA aperitivo, NA sparkling wine, and amarena cherry anchors the list. Coffee and tea drinks include panela latte, cafe de olla, salted dark chocolate mocha, and carrot tea latte, giving the non-alcoholic side real range rather than a token option.
Menu strengths
- — A dedicated non-alcoholic spritz shows the program treats NA drinks as a category, not an afterthought.

- — Prices are modest, with specialty drinks at 6 to 6.5 and teas at 5 to 10.

- — Salted Dark Chocolate Mocha — Tcho hella dark, piloncillo, vanilla, and maldon.
