What is the best way to book Betsy?
- Check what is open at Betsy right now. Start from the live calendar on this page rather than from Resy. It shows every date in the 30-day window with its current status, so you can see at a glance whether anything is bookable before you spend time on the platform.
- Widen your time to include 8:30 PM. 8:30 PM is the slot that opens most often at Betsy. The full range we see open runs 5:00 PM to 9:45 PM.
- Set an alert instead of refreshing. Resy restaurants usually work on a rolling window: one new day appears at the far edge of the calendar each night, and cancellations return tables at no fixed time. Cancellations arrive on no schedule at all, which is why refreshing by hand does not work. Star Betsy on SnagRes and you get an email the moment a table appears, with a link straight to Resy.

- What time can you actually get a table at Betsy?
- The open times recorded at Betsy run from 5:00 PM to 9:45 PM, and 8:30 PM is the slot that comes open most often. These are the times left available, not the restaurant's full service hours.
- What is the best party size to book Betsy?
- Two and four sit close together at Betsy in our data, 43% of the window open for two against 40% for four, a gap too small to plan around, so party size is not the lever here. Shifting the night or the seating time moves availability more.
- What time do Betsy reservations open?
- Betsy releases reservations 14 days ahead. We have not yet pinned the exact hour. Resy restaurants usually work on a rolling window: one new day appears at the far edge of the calendar each night, and cancellations return tables at no fixed time. SnagRes rechecks throughout the day rather than relying on one fixed hour.
- How far ahead does Betsy release tables?
- Betsy releases reservations 14 days ahead. A new date appears at the far edge of that window each cycle, and cancellations can surface at any point in between.
- Which booking platform does Betsy use?
- Betsy takes reservations on Resy. Resy restaurants usually work on a rolling window: one new day appears at the far edge of the calendar each night, and cancellations return tables at no fixed time. SnagRes rechecks Resy for Betsy throughout the day and alerts you when a table opens.
- Can you walk in at Betsy?
- SnagRes tracks reservations rather than walk-ins, so we cannot see a live bar or counter count at Betsy. Many rooms do hold a few seats for walk-ins, often early or at the bar, so it is worth calling ahead. If you would rather lock in a table, star Betsy and we will email you the moment a reservation opens.
- Is using a reservation alert legal?
- Yes. SnagRes only notifies you when a table opens; the booking itself is an ordinary reservation you make yourself on Resy, under your own name. It does not resell tables, run bots to hold them, or automate the booking, so it does not cross the lines a resale or auto-booking service does.
- Does SnagRes book Betsy for me?
- No. SnagRes tells you the moment a table opens at Betsy and links you straight to Resy with the date prefilled, then you complete the reservation yourself. It never logs into your account and never books on your behalf, which is what keeps your account in good standing.
