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

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.

I for real didn't mind bc I also work in food service but when I went to tell my server because I didn't want to get charged if I wasn't going to eat it, the chick I talked to was beyond rude and unprofessional. If I was a manager I'd fire her because she's a terrible representation of that place. She never apologized, or took accountability, instead she made excuse after excuse on why it was late, cold, and wrong. Claiming when they're busy it's a mandatory 45-1 hour wait on food, 1.) that was never told to us 2.) IT WASNT BUSY. 3.) people who arrived after us who also ordered a burger baskets, received theirs before us. I told her they weren't busy, she handle the situation wrong and I apologized when she blamed it on her small kitchen, so I guess get a bigger kitchen?? Our server was a dude, he was very sweet I had no issue with him. I also wasn't angry the food was late,wrong, or cold, I was disappointed. I became angry when the bartender raised her voice at me and didn't take accountability. I will never go back *** I also work in a restaurant in uptown, they weren't busy. On top of, yes our food was made wrong but we didn't complain. My friend and I fixed the issue ourselves and went, it's not that big of a deal! How it was handled bothered me.

Speaking of drinks, it was happy hour, so I enjoyed a top shelf vodka drink for only $4! It was the same price for pints of beer! There was a large afterwork crowd when I was there... and only one bartender... but she was able to keep up with demand and kept the drinks flowing! Inside it was pretty spacious and they could have fit a few more tables, but I imagine in the evenings it allows for more people to stand and walk around.
