What People Are Saying About Bettie Ford Rstrnt & Nightclub

In Short
The sign reads: "Cocktail Therapy and Food Late", and this place delivers on both. Delish libations are expertly poured and served up by eye-candy hotties from three different bars. Lackluster menu items are best imbibed late--ideally after several cocktails. Then join the fashionista-set flitting around to the thumping sounds of hip-hop and up-tempo DJs.

A group of 12 happy hour seekers showed up at Bettie Ford's a little before 5:00pm on 7/2/08. We would've had a reservation but they're mailbox was full the entire week and a half prior to our arrival date, and after several attempted phone calls no one answered. We waited outside for 25 minutes before someone actually came to the door to let us know what was going on. His excuse for not opening the door was that they were waiting for their food order to show up! Are you kidding me? Mind you it was over 90 degrees outside and he didn't even offer to let us in for a cold beverage. When we asked him for an update on when they thought they would open he said "Dude, don't get mad at me. I just work here." Seriously, it's going to take an act of God for any one of us to go back there, let alone recommend this place to any one we know. We walked around the corner to Aura and had AWESOME service and enjoyed killer drinks and food on their happy hour menu. Go there instead!

We were expecting to see 80's-type Hollywood has-beens sucking away at their rehab-forbidden cocktails and laughing as though they were being naughty and getting away with something. Too painful to enjoy.

What a boring place to go. Drinks are plain, service is plain, wow talk about hype! This place is so lame.
