f what you desire is a seemingly
unending selection of local and craft
, beer, One-Eyed Betty's in fabulous
Ferndale is a sure thing.
When entering Betty's, you're
greeted by a row of col-
orful pinball machines
and a jukebox with a
savvy selection of
tunes. Sit at the
bar or at one
of the many
tables or booths
in the expansive
dining area.
Betty's is carving out
a nice little niche for
itself, boasting 47 beers on tap — one
of which is a root beer — and more
than 100 bottled beers. Many of its
great selection of brews come from
Michigan including Bell's, Jolly Pumpkin,
Arcadia and Founders to name a few.
Find Mead from B. Nektar Meadery, also
located in Ferndale, and a nice selection
of whiskey and tequila. The tequila is
listed under the category of"Mexican
Whiskey."
Let's not forget the
food. Betty's features
some seriously good
eats. The menu is only
one page, but there are
a variety of delectable
dishes that will set off
your taste sensors.
Appetizers range in
price from $6 -$16 and
include a vibrant brus-
chetta, carnival pretzels
with three dipping
sauces, scotch eggs
and a couple of differ-
ent oyster dishes.
Next up are the
soups, salads and hand-
wiches — yes, hand-
wiches — you read that
correctly. Prices range from $5 to $10.
They have a great beer cheese soup,
along with spicy gumbo, a grapefruit
and avocado salad that, according to
server Ryan, makes him smile.
Handwiches include the Betty Burger,
a po' boy with your choice of fried
oysters or shrimp, a portabello sand-
wich that has a nice bit of heat to it, a
"Ridiculously Good Grilled Cheese"and
much more.
Dinner selections are $10-$16 and
include a hot N'awlins barbecue shrimp
plate, fish and chips, steak frites, fried
seafood platter and more. For dessert,
try the hand-pulled root beer float with
Treat Dreams butter beer ice cream. It's
heavenly.
At One-Eyed Betty's, there's a beer
for every taste, great food, pinball and
a fun atmosphere. Betty's also features
live music. Past performers include Amy
Gore & Her Valentines, Delilah DeWylde

and the Lost Boys, Dutch Pink and Robin
Horlock.
