The epitome of the “hole in the wall” neighborhood bar. Betty’s isn’t flashy, isn’t either bright or modern (it doesn’t even have any outside windows) but it excels in what it is, a cheep place to hide, drink and play pool.

A reliable hole-in-the-wall bar for pregame and postgame food and beer. Cans and bottles only, no draft beer, moderate liquor selection as well. Small but reliable food menu. I got the Betty’s burger and was very pleased.

Perfect Pre-Game Stop to Save Your Wallet – Classic Dive Bar Done Right
What a pleasant surprise! If you’re tired of paying $13-15 for drinks at Lower.com Field, Betty’s Bar is an absolute must-stop on your walk from parking to the stadium.
Why Betty’s is Game Day Gold:
Wallet-Friendly Pricing:
– $5 average for local beers and other cans – nearly 3x cheaper than stadium prices
– Cash only for outside service (keeps things moving fast)
– Perfect way to pregame without breaking the bank
Efficient, Friendly Service:
– Staff moves quickly but stays personable
– Met a fantastic bartender on Saturday (wish I remembered her name!) who left a great impression
– Pro tip: Order from the middle of the bar, not the ends – they prefer this for efficiency
Atmosphere & Expectations:
Classic Dive Bar Vibes:
– Don’t expect fancy lighting or upscale ambiance
– College dive bar feel but with standards and cleanliness
– Less of the typical dive bar smells you might expect elsewhere
Standard Bar Amenities:
– Restrooms, darts, high tables
– All the basics you need for a good time
Game Day Experience:
Special Game Day Setup:
– Food truck parked outside
– Promotional tents and vendors
– Becomes a real pre-game hub for Crew fans
The Quirky Reality:
Hours Are… Flexible:
– Love their front sign: “Opens when I get here”
– Multiple attempts to visit on non-game days = closed
– Hours seem “optional” but makes sense – they know their clientele and peak times
– Definitely a game day/event-driven establishment
Bottom Line:
Betty’s Bar perfectly serves its purpose – a no-frills, affordable spot to grab drinks before paying stadium prices. The dive bar aesthetic and flexible hours are part of the charm, not drawbacks.
Perfect for: Pre-game drinks, budget-conscious sports fans, anyone wanting authentic local bar experience
Best times: Game days, major events (call ahead for other times)
Bring: Cash for fastest service, realistic expectations about ambiance
Would I return? Absolutely! This is exactly what you want in a pre-game spot – cheap drinks, friendly service, and local character.

Why in the world would they charge $25 for a double shot of Buffalo Trace?? (We were dumb enough to pay it) You can buy the whole damn bottle for $27. Not stopping there anymore

Betty’s Bar is strictly open for Arena District events only such as Soccer, Baseball and Hockey Games. This bar has no beers on tap and only serves canned or bottled beer, the prices are much cheaper than buying beer at the events.

Great drive bar with good drink prices. We go here before clipper baseball games. Thursday they may have thong Thursday so beware if with kids and that is not your thing.

I know most people hit up R Bar before a Jackets game, but for me, Betty’s is THE spot to pre game and post game. Hell, even during the game if you don’t have tickets! We need more places like this in the world. Found myself here many, many times and have always had an absolute blast!

Some of the bartenders were chill but one of them and the manage, shorty targeted my friends and I and were extremely rude to us ending in us being forced to leave. Would not recommend for a good time for sure

Review update: Betty’s is still the best bar in Columbus.
You really can’t ask for a better bar. Great place to stop in before/after a hockey or baseball game, or whenever they are open. The hours sign says “open when i get here, closed when i leave” and it is true. The hours end up being a little wonky because of this. Alcohol is very reasonably priced. The food is reasonably priced and phenomenal. Mostly bar bites, such as burgers and fries.
