I would have thought that a place called "Beer Bistro" would be right up in my wheelhouse. I enjoy varied types of beer and love eating bistro-style food. What's not to love? And truly enough, the place has grown from fairly humble beginnings. Rot iron and contemporary stools and tables await. The staff are friendly and attentive, wheeling around the space armed with an understanding of the newly created gastro-pub menu (Did we really let the word "gastro-pub" sneak into our vocabulary? Seriously? Huh. I don't like it.). They are well aware of the pairings of food and beer that will make a good meal, and will also allow you to get a sampler of beers without resorting heavily on one pint. Good points all around.
That's the good stuff. The sense though is that this is a place to boast about the girth of your expense account. As varied and numerous as the beers are, they are not cheap. Mostly this is due to them maintaining the ability to provide a range of offerings. But you can also add on an extra 10-15% onto the bottle and tap price based on the number of credit cards with company names punched into them that come forth for payments. The food is tasty but can sometimes come off a bit pretentious for a place that has something as fun as beer as one of the ingredients. All in all it's a fine place to go, but make sure someone else is paying for it.
