Awesome spot for both happy hour and late night. Bartenders are always friendly and helpful. The by-the-pound crab claws are great to pick while listening to the great live music. Outdoor play area for the kids makes it perfect for everyone!

After decades of visiting Bethany we finally went to Patsy's for the first time - and immediately regretted not getting there sooner! The food is AMAZING and the service was impeccable. Perfect for an intimate night out, it's small and you might have to wait a little - but it's worth it!

The Bethany town beaches are beautiful, there are entrances at the end of each street and parking is through the ParkMobile app. It's quieter on the streets to the far north and south and busier the closer you get to the boardwalk at the town's center.

Medical Care
We highly recommend this urgent care, we have tried this and the Beebe Healthcare for walk-in care, and Atracare was a much better experience.

Consejos sobre la ciudad
Cómo moverse
Download the ParkMobile App Before You Arrive.
Having the ParkMobile app downloaded and ready to go with all your information will make parking at a meter in Bethany and other surrounding areas quick, easy and stress-free. It's easy to use, but setup (adding license plate and credit card info) can take a few minutes, so having it ready ahead of time is nice. CHECK and then DOUBLE CHECK that you have correctly entered your license plate to avoid the hassle of a parking ticket! The app allows you to add time to your meter remotely, so if you decide you want an extra hour on the beach you don't have to return to feed the meter!
