Friendly and chill atmosphere. Great drag shows occassionally and a diverse crowd. Fun atmosphere and well made drinks, too.

Really nice bar physically. Staff is also friendly and efficient. The crowd is rather cliquish and preening. Like to a degree that you don't see in much larger city. Sort of like watching a really absurd characterization of a gay.

Queer friendly safe spaces are definitely needed in small towns like this. But, there is lots to be left to the imagination with Bistro. The space is set up pretty awkwardly and the crowd is a hodgepodge of characters. I was satisfied with my drinks, but not sure how often I'll come back.

Can a 19 year old get in if they just don't get drinks

Nope. 21 and over.

Is this place even open any longer. I was looking for somewhere to meet and possibly date in a comfortable atmosphere. Any suggestions?

They are open, the had a drag show last night and probably couldn't hear the phone ring. Open tonight, 8pm.

The block party starts at 3 and they have live bands and a drag show, as well as different vendors for food and drink. The street party ends at 11 and moves inside the bar with yet another drag show. Sounds like a blast!
