Cheesy, crispy ironclad pizzas and inventive cocktails
"A small, immersive tiki concept opening behind Betelgeuse that aims to evoke the ‘‘space between death and vacation’’ with hyper-stylized, Tim Burton–adjacent decor and a strictly limited capacity (about 50). Creators Chris Cusack and Brian Dibala program theatrical tiki cocktails such as a Brown Butter Rum Old Fashioned (brown-butter fat-washed rums, rich paradise syrup, blended bitters), This Sunset Should Be Illegal (mezcal, acid-adjusted orange juice, orange liqueur, lime punch syrup, fassionola) and a Pistachio Mai Tai (multiple rums, house pistachio orgeat, orange liqueurs, lime, and flambéed finish); reservations are expected to be released on Resy." - Courtney E. Smith
"Present your “I Voted” sticker and you can get happy hour prices any time of day at this intergalactic pizzeria and cocktail bar, with deals like $8 select cocktails, $7 32-ounce draft beers, and $6 wines by the glass." - Brittany Britto Garley
"I found that Betelgeuse will debut extra-scary cocktails throughout October including a frozen Gravedigger (mezcal, amaretto, lemon, mint, and scotch spritz), the Purple People Eater (clarified bourbon pina colada with purple ube-taro foam), and a This is Halloween cocktail (Maker’s Mark, peach nectar, spiced pear, and lemon)." - Brittany Britto Garley
"This eclectic bar’s Sixth Ward location faces Washington Avenue, making it hard to miss. Explore the cocktail menu, which showcases out-of-the-box choices like Pickletinis and a black Lemon Drop martini made with charcoal, and stay for pizza. Betelgeuse Betelgeuse slings iron-clad pizzas with cheesy crusts, plus pizzeria essentials like salads, buffalo wings, and hot Italian sandwiches." - Brittany Britto Garley
"The second outpost of Betelgeuse Betelgeuse in Montrose promises a new, intergalactic atmosphere for its expertly made ironclad pizza and cocktails. Venture out of the ordinary with a parmesan espresso martini or the Mommy, What’s a Funkadelic?, a combination of tepache, Ilegal Mezcal, lime, pineapple, and vanilla. Or opt for An Appletini to End All Appletinis, a vodka martini made with pear vodka, Calvados, Granny Smith puree, and lemon." - Brittany Britto Garley, Kayla Stewart
