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.

If you're looking for a place that truly has it all, Zola absolutely delivers. From the moment you…read morewalk in, the energy is unmatched live music, a buzzing crowd, and an atmosphere that just pulls you in. The live performance was incredible and set the tone for the whole night. People were dancing, laughing, and genuinely enjoying themselves. Whether you want a cozy corner upstairs, a lively bar seat, patio vibes, or a big table for a group, they've created a space for every kind of night out. Huge shoutout to Emily, our server, who made the experience even better, and Indy behind the bar WOW. I had the Spicy Jimmy Hendricks and I'm officially obsessed. Hands down one of the best drinks I've had in a long time. Now let's talk food because it deserves its own moment. The Zola mac & cheese? Jamie & Johnii were the cooks that night. Unreal. Rich, cheesy, and completely indulgent. And the burrata appetizer was fresh, flavorful, and the perfect start to the meal. Everything we had was top-notch. What really stood out to me is the crowd such a beautiful mix of people. Couples tucked away having deep conversations, friends celebrating, people dancing... it felt like a place where everyone belongs. It honestly made me wish I could have experienced it with my grandparents it has that timeless, joyful energy. They also offer private events, catering, and even the option to rent out the whole space, which makes it perfect for birthdays, date nights, or celebrations. Just a heads up it's 21+ so leave the kids at home with a sitter, but the vibe is welcoming, vibrant, and full of life. I'm beyond impressed. Zola is more than just a restaurant it's an experience. I'll absolutely be back.

Zola is all about setting the right expectations. If you're going purely for the food, it might…read morefeel a bit average, but as a bar with solid bites, it hits the mark. The smash burger was tasty, not the best I've ever had, but solid for a bar menu. The fish tacos were flavorful, and fresh, and just a little messy, though I wouldn't have minded a bit more fish. Happy hour is where things really shine, with reasonable prices that make it even easier to enjoy. The live music added a fun energy, and our barmaid was incredibly sweet and helpful. She gave couple good recommendations I also noticed the smaller side rooms that still face the stage. Seems like a great setup for after-work gatherings, or a night out with friends. All in all, Zola is best enjoyed as a bar. Good drinks, good vibes, and food that pairs well with the experience.

I've been to the Woodshed a handful of times, and it's always fun. They have two pool tables, free popcorn, strong drinks, and karaoke. Get a group together and catch a ride out or grab a D.D. and go to this bar on Saturday for an evening of singing your favorite old country tunes. They of course have a larger karaoke selection than just country music, but being in this bar will make you want to sing "Friends in Low Places" by Garth Brooks. I know this because my friends and I always sing it when we go. If you're looking for a new bar to check out that's off the beaten path, then look no further. Actually, keep on looking all the way into the Woodshed and on the ceiling where you can find the names of me and my friends. Grab a drink and add yours too.
