Each drink had its own distinct flavor profile, and every cocktail we ordered was delicious. We also grabbed some mixed nuts to munch on alongside our drinks--perfect bar snack territory. Service was quick, and our bartender was incredibly knowledgeable. You could tell they really understood the cocktails and knew exactly how to make the flavors shine. Once you walk through the door, the whole vibe changes. The intimate, speakeasy-style space is cute, moody, and has that "you've discovered a hidden spot" feeling. If you love creative cocktails and intimate speakeasy vibes, definitely add Cease & Desist Book Club to your list!

I've given Bistango multiple chances over the years because I enjoy the atmosphere and want to…read moresupport local Spokane businesses, but unfortunately the customer service has been consistently disappointing. Most recently, on a Friday evening around 7 PM, my party was seated near the end of the bar by the restroom area. A server approached me in a confrontational manner and told me to move my chair because it was blocking the walkway. I immediately complied and moved it where he directed. Despite that, he repeatedly pushed and squeezed past the chair in an aggressive way several times afterward and then returned to confront me about it again. The interaction felt hostile, unnecessary, and unprofessional. Unfortunately, this wasn't an isolated incident. On a previous visit, a female server was rude and controlling toward our table, and on another occasion when we were unhappy with a menu item, the response was essentially, "You ordered it, you pay for it," with no attempt to address the concern professionally. The atmosphere is great, which is why we've continued to come back. However, after several visits involving rude and confrontational interactions with staff, it feels more like an ongoing culture issue than a one-time bad experience. I don't expect special treatment, but I do expect basic courtesy and respect. Hopefully management takes these concerns seriously and works to improve the customer experience.

Kudos to the crew keeping up with the rush before reinforcements arrived.

This time we stopped in before walking to the comedy club down the street. He had the nYne Burger with cheese, mushrooms, onions and the fixings, with tomato cucumber salad on the side. He forgot to ask if he could have his burger cooked to his preference, so it was a bit too done for his liking but he said it was still very good. I had the Crispy Chicken Salad served with bacon bits, cheese, romaine lettuce with ranch and garlic bread. It was so much that I could barely finish it. One of these days we hope to stay later to see a show here or play some trivia.

I will say, there are some issues with parking and in order to provide enough FREE parking spaces for low income residents living above the bar and the buildings associated. There is paid parking to the left of the building just make sure you pay for enough hours or you most likely will come out with a $40something ticket. There also is a bit more houseless individuals around this area. I personally dont mind and I've never seen an incident but just so you are aware. Now back to the bar, super great vibes and welcoming queer environment. We went in on a Wednesday night and there were some individuals playing covers on the stage and anyone was welcome to join which was great. It felt like true community lives in that place. I actually dont think this bar has a unisex bathroom which would be the only reason I would personally take off a star but I won't because there's still so much positive about this bar.
