    Be aware the house lady won't allow you to experience this cute place in any other way than she has decided herself. It's a very cosy place; warm both in atmosphere as in temperature. It feels like a homely place, where you COULD spend a lot of time enjoying some time with friends. On the other hand, the owner of the place seems to be so protective about the atmosphere, that it comes at the cost of being able to simply enjoy this apparently very fragile atmosphere. You're not allowed to come in and go out whenever you want (for the fear it might disturb other people). Also for ordering you need the right amount of patience; this place is supposed to be stress free, and therefore you should have a lot of patience. Towards the end, during the checking out, the lady also tried overcharging us; instead of the already expensive 5,5 Euro for a beer that normally costs 4,5 Euro, she tried to charge 6,5 Euro. As I pointed out she probably had made a mistake, showing her the menu, she insisted this particular menu was wrong. So I showed her 4 randomly selected other menu's lying around, to which she responded she had in fact already changed the prices, but apparently not on the menu's. After being quite irritated by the school behaviour of not being allowed in and out when needed, and the super slow service, this guilt free overcharging - scamming really, made me want to give 1 star only. Still it's a cute place; but be aware the house lady won't allow you to experience this cute place in any other way than she has decided herself.

    Nothing beats a stop at this place in winter time. Candles only. Fireplace on. The Calvados is Pere Magloire and served in a more than decent quantity! Betty is a great host!

    Perfect bar in Ghent! The ladykeeper is top, the bar is authentic, bold and ther service is perfect. They have a little courtyard at the rear with delightful plants, the atmosphere is really special. They offer typical food and drinks :)

    Used to live in Ghent and this is the place my girl and me always have to pass by. This is a nice, quiet, romantic place to go and have a drink so don't come here with large, loud groups or she will guide you to the door.

    Must visit when in Ghent. Warm lady welcomes you with open arms. Cozy place! Something to spend time, not for a quick drink.

    I was brought to the his quaint cafe by a friend. The reason being that is was entirely lit by candlelight only. The ceilings are decorated with beautiful Rococo scroll work, and the windows open onto a little inner garden. You feel like you're halfway in the past, présent and somewhere quite unique. The atmosphere is great too. Oftentimes there is a pianist playing classical melodies or a modern tune, or when not in use, the CDs play much the same. The hostess of the venue is a character and will talk your ear off if she gets a chance. Luckily for me I speak very poor flemish, and even less Dutch, so our Conversation was brief. Her warmth and inviting demeanor certainly put me at ease and ensured I left the venue perhaps tipsily but definitely with a smile.

    Very special place! Warm,cosy atmospheric! without the rush.candles light only. Betty is wonderful! if you didn't see this place-you didn't see Ghent!

    A bar like no others with an atmosphere in an old street of Gent. Light is dim, candles light the place and a kind lady takes care of you. Sometimes, Friday and Saturday there is some music, a piano and she sings.

    Wonderfully romantic for a drink alone or with friends. Welcome to her room & patio; here is what she can offer you as her guest: the menu reflects the ethos of the owner-her passion for a small comfortable venue that attracts those who are not in a rush, who enjoy music that fits the tone of the space at a decible level that more than allows for the genesis of interesting conversation. Highly recommend for those with discerning taste for a unique bar experience.

    Betty's place has a very cosy atmosphere. Candles and generous portions of good wine... What more is there in life?
