| - Okay, i understand why there are really good reviews and why there are really bad reviews... but for anyone who has never been to Bistro 422, there are some things you should know.
- you have to go down some steep stairs to get in the bar... i'm surprised there hasn't been any accidents with drunk people on those stairs...
- its a small bar, dimly lit, crowded and very loud. i've heard there is a patio in the back, but i've never been.
- if you think the server will be nice to you, you're going to think he's an asshole. However, if you expect this man to be an asshole, then you'll be okay... Someone told me this the first time i went and i'm glad. often people get offended when he's short or impatient with them.
- you'll get ID'd. This is probably for the best, seeing as one of my friends told me she celebrated her 16th birthday party here years and years ago ...
- although the "house laager" is cheaper at 10$ a pitcher, you can get a pitcher of Steamwhistle for a dollar more, and it is much much better beer.
- Whenever i go in, i'm hesitant to order food, because of the questionable cleanliness of the place, but i will say that once i did order a plate of perogies, and didn't get food poisoning. i'm not sure if i was just lucky...? They were actually pretty tasty, and i know food is often cheap here too.
- the bathrooms are gross. mens or women's it doesn't matter which one you're in... be prepared to be grossed out, expect that, and maybe you'll be pleasantly surprised.
Personally, i love this place, its usually a good time, usually because everyone's drunk. I hope these tips help you!
