What reviewers say

Visitors praise Betty & Joan's for its lively atmosphere, good music, and entertainment options like comedy shows and karaoke. However, some lesbian visitors reported feeling unwelcome and receiving judgmental looks, contradicting the venue's description as an inclusive LGBTQ+ space. Another common observation is that the venue tends to empty out early on Saturdays.

Great LGBTQ bar. In a lovely spot, in the daytime the big doors open onto the lovely outdoor space. Come night, it transfers into more of a party spot. Inside there's a comedy club and karaoke booths and two DJ spots on the dancefloor.

My first time visiting Betty & Joan's for a friend’s birthday, and it was a blast! They had a Latino-themed night, and the atmosphere was incredible. Both the staff and customers were so friendly. ​The venue is much bigger than I expected, with reasonable prices. A shoutout to the team as well for really clean, spacious toilets! We also had a great time in the karaoke booths, and I’m already planning to come back for the comedy club. If you’re looking for a welcoming LGBTQ+ spot with a great vibe, this is it. I will consider having my birthday here in the future as well.
