I have to say after reading the three reviews on the Bistro that I agree with two of them. I urge…read moreanyone reading these reviews to disregard John's comments as much as possible. I think that Jan is one hell of a business woman. She offers great drink specials and seems to be constantly striving to make her customers happy. She does not have to offer drink specials every night. She does not have to have Bingo Night every Thursday night and give out free shots to the winners. I am more of a person that sits back and watches how people behave in order to make my first impressions. As the matter of a fact I can be a shy person unless I get to know someone pretty well. I have only spoken to Jan on a few occasions, and therefore, I can provide an unbiased opinion about the Bistro. From what I have seen, Jan makes the enviornment comfortable and accepting, and she does not have a greedy bone in her body, unlike most business owners. In addition, she has made my drinks before and she puts just as much alcohol in the drinks if not more than the bartenders do. Most business owners would be stingy with the alcohol and try to get a bigger return on his or her investment. In addition, she had the ingenious idea to have karaoke on Thursday after bingo, and I swear the bar is more crowded on Thursday nights than it is on the weekend. In addition, the bartenders are very nice there, especially Tiffany and Selena (sorry if i misspelled your name). The bartenders and Jan always make you feel like you are welcome. It does not matter if you are a regular, rich, poor, middle of the road, straight, gay, lesbian, bisexual, or transexual. They will treat you like you are the only customer in the bar irregardless of the size of your usual tip. They all practice respect for the individual, which is an important component in maintaining and securing future loyal clientele. So if you are debating on whether or not to come into the Bistro, I am telling you that if you do, you will not regret it. Please remember to tip your bartenders becuase they deserve it and it's the right thing to do. They are trying to make a living just like everyone else!!! Signed, Chuck, a happy customer

lol no. No Ma'am. This is not it. This bar is the WORST gay bar in Illinois. Not a friendly person…read morein sight. Not One. Well, the door chick was ok. Anyway, the music is terrible. It's just noise. Reminds me of a techno club circa early 2000s. Bartenders (there were two) umm yeah. You can keep them. I could only stand about an hour and a half of this place. I feel sad for the LGBT community here. Saturday night and the best you have to offer is this group of unfriendly people. From the bartenders to the "DJ" upstairs. I ll never go back. No reason to. Just stay home. Seriously. I can see why it's dead on a Saturday night.

This is not a gay bar. There are no gay bars in Decatur. Ken's a frame is somewhat a gay bar.read more

I…read morewas in Terre Haute for the night and wanted something to do, so a friend and I popped over about a half hour before the 10:30pm show on a Saturday evening. $5 to get in but the drinks were strong and very affordable. No complaints at all. They also have a kitchen. I didn't eat while I was here, but they were advertising a stuffed pork chop with a side and a roll that seemed very reasonable. Drag show started on time.. which is really strange (and very much appreciated). There were 4 entertainers who came out and did a couple of numbers each for their first set and did a great job interacting with the audience. The second set began at midnight and I was fast asleep back at my hotel, so I didn't see it. A fun evening with strong drinks and a show.. what more could you ask for?!

No "for a small town" qualifier necessary-- their drag shows are dazzling & fabulous, full stop. Smoke machines, bright colorful lights, a proper stage, and plenty of comfortable seats-- not to mention excellent drag talent even on an "open stage" mostly-amateur night. We saw 6 different drag performers on Friday, including a very funny drag king, who really kept the momentum going with fun cat-calls sitting out in the audience. The whole show was exciting, well-run & memorable. The passion & unbridled joy of these talented, gorgeous performers was absolutely contagious. I am no night-owl, but it was midnight in a heartbeat & I wanted to stay for the 2nd set. Nothing like a good drag show to make you feel alive. I wish I'd come sooner, I fell hard for this place. Can't wait to return for a Saturday showcase when next I visit Terre Haute!

Apparently also has food but nothing was going on in the kitchen. The place is known for the big patio and gameday parties. Basic big time crowded hangout. It's especially crazy when school is in session. This place gets pretty quiet when it's not and is usually closed on breaks or whatever. Getting your drink on is the main thing about it. It's about $5 to get the cheapest mixers like whiskey mixed with whatever. Apparently has food. Fried appetizers like mozzarella sticks. Basic fried items. There's also a few burgers and chicken sandwiches. Of course they have to be open first. The last few times here there was nothing on the menu worth getting to be honest. Great place to get wasted to be certain. It's located on 5th Street at Green. The place gets pretty quiet in summer.
