Bistro on Bridge

From the jump everyone was super kind. The ambiance was amazing, and very much a Friday night bar. Upstairs was really cool, there was plenty of room for groups of people. They had games like connect four and ring toss. The upstairs bouncer was very chill and accommodating, he was awesome to talk to! The food was really good, and surprisingly tasteful for a bar!

We ate our late lunch on Saturday around two. We had a very cheerful server (but not over the top), and she was very pleasant and efficient. I had Cubano sandwich. It was not the best I had, but it was very tasty. It was somewhat loud in the restaurant with a large crowd, and I had some hard times carrying a conversation even with my hearing aids. I thought prices were moderately higher compared to similar eateries. Enjoy!!

The watermelon arugula feta salad with salmon was perfect for a hot day. They served a great prosciutto flatbread as well. They have a nice set of hard-to-find beers on tap. Nice atmosphere and comfortable areas to sit.

We hosted our family reunion at Bistro on Bridge and couldn’t be happier with the experience! From start to finish, the team made everything easy and enjoyable. Kevin, our event coordinator, was an incredible host—friendly, attentive, and even captured a fantastic group photo of our entire family! Nanette set up the party beautifully and was so helpful throughout the event. The food was delicious, the setup was seamless, and the atmosphere was perfect for celebrating. We highly recommend Bistro on Bridge for any gathering or special occasion. They truly rocked it for our reunion!

This was our first visit here. Our waiter was kind enough to give us a sample for different beers upon request appreciate it. We ordered a big bottle of sparking wine but they served us the smallest one and then accepted that they goofed up. We ordered for Mexican fries which was on their today’s specials but as you can see the picture the cheese was already melted and the fries were cold didn’t really like the taste of it. Later we ordered regular fries too and it was almost burnt and very oily couldn’t take a picture but it tasted really bad. We ordered chicken wings and it tasted awful too wasn’t fresh enough and the chicken tasted stale. The only ok starter was the General Tso’s Cauliflower. In the end we were billed for 7 people while we were 4 and an item that we never ordered for. So folks do check your bills before you pay and always ask for a receipt. After two days of escalation the hotel responded and refunded the wrongly charged amount. Definitely not going back here again!!!

Great place that is huge and has a rooftop bar and music on the weekend. Drinks were cold and really good. More craft beer choices than I can name, and the pomegranate mule with titos was refreshing and tasted great. Happy hour 4-6 pm Monday through Friday, which also included shuck for a buck oysters,very good as well. Jenny, our bartender, was friendly, helpful, and another reason to come back. Give them a try, you won't be disappointed. Update:Came back again on our trip to PA in 2025. Great again! Tanya was great behind the bar, friendly, informative, and great service. She's a gem for sure. All the drinks, pomegranate mule, apple pie sangria were outstanding. The oysters were good as always, and for a buck each, outstanding. Philly cheesesteak egg rolls weren't good, but after we switched out the Chipotle for marinara.

Super cute and chic interior and exterior. Perfect location on Bridge Street. Our server Abby had great recommendations. The food was phenomenal, as was the atmosphere.

First time at the Bistro on the Bridge, ordered blackened salmon BLT. Salmon was a little dry, the blackened topping tasted like burnt Old Bay seasoning. A tiny piece of shriveled avocado and the remnants of a piece of lettuce and half slice of tomato in between toasted (hard as a rock) bread. I opted out of the chipotle aioli and asked for a side of mayo (and was charged charged .75) but they did bring a bottle of ketchup (for free) The Applewood smoked bacon was hard to even chew. I drank it down with a can of cider (I had to go to the bar to ask for a glass) The Vietnamese Pho bowl was good but very hot from the chile peppers. The Espresso old-fashioned was good. We sat in the front window on metal chairs (on a very cold, windy day) the wind was blowing through the wall so bad I had to put my coat against it to stop the cold.

Bistro is always poppin'. Their draft beer list is one of the best in town, and their happy hour specials are great. I mean, I can't think of a single other place that does $1 oysters every day of the week - and they're good oysters! The rotating tap list always has interesting options from far and wide, and their cocktails are delicious too. Bistro has something for everyone, food wise, and seems to be accommodating to different dietary needs and/or restrictions. They have indoor, outdoor, and roof top seating options, with prime real estate on Bridge street - can make for some great people-watching! Bistro is almost never *not* busy, especially during summer and peak days and times. They take reservations; better safe than sorry! The bar may be busy - so be patient and don't be afraid to flag someone down. They offer lunch, dinner, happy hour, and brunch. It's accessible and casual, making for a great spot to gather with friends and family. Staff has always been great, if not a little overwhelmed, but they handle the chaos that comes with a bumpin' spot like Bistro. If you're lucky, you'll find street parking on Main or Bridge St. Otherwise, your best options will be a town lot.

Trendy looking pub in a very cute little town. Lots of stores and shops all around. The service was good. We had the Spicy Tuna Poke bowl, which was just okay. The tuna was fresh but it was missing seaweed salad and edamame. Also it was made with basmati rice, which was weird. Normally poke bowls are made with sushi rice. My fiance had the Blackened Chicken Burrito bowl. That was very good! My fiance's daughter had the Vietnamese Pho. She loved it. I had the Mimosa Flight. My favorites were the Apple Cider Mimosa and the Peach Bellini.

I've been here a bunch of times since the pandemic. BoB is always hosting something around holidays or made up holidays. I like sitting at the bar as a solo, or grabbing a table with a friend or a group. It's a welcoming environment and if it isn't a night that'd understandably be packed (Wed before Thanksgiving, Superbowl, festival days, etc), my experience has been it's easy to grab a table without a reservation. They have a huge beer tap list and it's always rotating. They offer cocktails and some wines, but more of a beer place. Their food menu is vast and a bit of American with Asian fusion and some other international/Americanized inspired faves. They do have a pass-able pho on deck for example. If you're looking for a guilty pleasure, their cast iron brownie ala mode is solid...coming from someone who only eats desserts worth eating. Last time I visited I had their fresh cut fries and wonton tuna bites. The time before that I had their beef pho. The time before that time their Bavarian pretzel. The service has consistently been friendly, pleasant and very attentive whether at the bar, or at the tables. Hope that the service, inventiveness of the menu, drinks, community and events at BoB continues!

Everything here was good - service was also good - everyone is polite - we were seated at a table - which the televisions all had some sort of sports playing - thanks again

Bistro is one of our favorite spots to meet friends for a drink, grab a nice brunch, a yummy dinner, or stop in during weekend festivities. The staff are always welcoming and friendly, and the food and drinks never disappoint. Great spot any time of day for any occasion. The live music on weekends is a fun addition too, and the upstairs is a versatile space with outdoor and indoor options, games, music, and another bar. I've also seen lots of successful private parties upstairs as well. Overall one of my favorite spots in town!

This spot knows its whiskey cocktails - the drinks were creative, expertly crafted, and absolutely delicious. However, the food was just okay for the price. While it was tasty, it didn't quite live up to the hype (or the bill). If you're a whiskey lover, definitely give their cocktails a try. Just maybe manage your expectations for the food.

Went in on a busy Saturday night and we had a great time! There was one-man band and Richard Thomas is so talented. Upstairs you have to order from the bar & our bartender was great. Even came to check that are food was good. And it was great! And those Mango "margaritas" --yummy!

I've been to Bistro a few times now and it always delivers on quality service and good food. I loveee the upstairs area so definitely check that out if it's open!

Been here a number of times both for lunch and dinner. Food is pretty good. We almost always start with their Philly Cheesesteak Egg Rolls and Crispy Mozzarella. You only get 3 of the round mozzarella medallions. You get two egg rolls, cut in half for four pieces. On our most recent visit, I had the Smash Burger with a side of fries. These are fresh-cut fries and tend to be a little floppy, so I'm not really a fan, but the burger was good. I've had the Blackened Chicken Burrito Bowl previously, which I liked a bit better. Place tends to be pretty loud when it's busy and there are TV's around the place showing various sporting events going on at the time. During nicer weather, they do offer some outdoor seating; otherwise, the place is pretty big inside with two floors. That said, I would recommend making a reservation, especially during dinner hours. Service tends to be hit or miss and on our most recent visit, it was pretty much a miss. We were left with empty glasses through most of our meal, and despite even asking for refills, it took our server quite a bit of time before he actually got them.

Tried this place for the first time and really enjoyed it! We had a large group and while it was a long wait they were able to provide us with two large tables next to each other to accommodate. It was perfect for large groups because everyone could create their own tab and close out separate without having to put orders on one bill. We went at dinner time but later on starting at around 9 PM, it is 21 only to enter and they have two levels with music and drinks. I tried the Philly cheesesteak eggrolls, and they were pretty good. They came with a chipotle dip that was a good balance. They also had fries that reminded me of five guys. They were fresh and pretty good as well. They had a couple of mocktails on the menu and the bartender attempted to make me NA version of an espresso martini. It didn't taste like a traditional espresso martini, of course, but I appreciated the fact that they were willing to accommodate and try to make a mocktail version for me. For the most part the service was decent. But at the bar, the service was a little bit hit or miss depending on who was serving you. Overall, we still did have a good experience though and I would return again.

Pros: Friendly staff. Clean bathrooms. Delicious Honey cornbread and Brownie skillet - literally one of the best I have had. Cons: Drinks were ok. Asian lettuce wraps were bland. Cauliflower wings with the Caribbean jerk rub was extremely salty and unpalatable.

The location is ideal for a night out! Whether grabbing a small bite or a drink the TVs and open atmosphere make this place a great Friday night option. You can not go wrong with a burger or salad!

Very cool spot with a rooftop beer garden - this is where we sat. Quite busy for a Saturday morning, but they handled all the tables well. Ordered a beer (Orange Creamsicle Wandering Into the Fog by Abomination Brewing), a pretzel with beer cheese, and some chicken wings. All came out pretty well, and quick thanks to QR code ordering. Very unique spot and Wild come back again for some of their dinner offerings.

Bistro on Bridge is one of our favorites and they really delivered when we threw a 75-person event for our son in their upstairs rooms. We worked closely with Nanette, who went above and beyond. She decorated the space, made sure there was always enough food and made sure the guests were satisfied. We received tons of compliments and this is even before we start talking about the food. The guests loved the crab cake sliders, the pesto chicken sandwiches, the pizza, the boneless wings and hamburger sliders. It was a hit. We'd definitely dine there again and don't forget about their rewards program. Thanks Nanette and Bistro on Bridge!!

Not only is Bistro so fun on a Saturday night, they offer amazing lunch deals! I've never had a bad meal there. Quick service too!

Great spot for a mid-week change. Diverse and large menu (just like the inside...it's massive!). The Poke Wonton Crisps were fantastic and the General Tso's Cauliflower was very cutely presented with a take out box on the plate. Decent drinks. Good food. Service was alright - there but could have been more attentive.

My favorite bar on bridge street and second favorite place to grab food. Great and extensive menu! Most recently ordered the spicy tuna poke bowl and double onion cheddar burger. The poke bowl was delicious and very spicy! Great portion size and a dish I would reorder. I really enjoyed the double onion cheddar burger. Paid an extra $1 for the fries, which were addicting. Loved it and would recommend!

Came with a group, six people will lead to a group fee. Plenty of seating. Limit to the maximum number of cards they can split on (I think three). Supports mobile pay. Employees are very friendly. My short rib sandwich was absolutely delicious and better than others I've had especially because of the bread. One down side is that the sauce made the paper soggy. Most people seemed to like the things they ordered too, both in terms of meal and drink. The venue is LGBT+ friendly which makes it a safe place.

First time trying this place. Lots of options for food and drinks. Place is big with an upper level but seems like it turned into a club at night. So if that's your vibe, check it out!

Cute date spot ir to watch a game. The house chips are really good. Burgers were tasty but a bit more like a meatloaf flavor & texture than a typical charbroiled one.

The food was good, and it had an okay selection of beers. The reason for the 3 stars is about the prices and the way the costs nickel and dime you. My daughter had a burger that was supposed to have gouda, and she wanted American cheese. The added cost for the American cheese because it was a change. I would imagine the gouda cost twice what American does. With all the restaurants in Phoenixville, I doubt I will go back here any time soon.

I visited Phoenixville for the first time today and so bummed I waited so long. My pal and I popped into Bistro on Bridge and enjoyed a delicious lunch special of a half sandwich and salad and started off with the Brussel sprouts app. I had the strawberry mojito and she had a beer. Lively atmosphere and I look forward to returning during cooler weather to enjoy rooftop dining!

Not the place it used to be. Quality of food has gone way down hill. Prices have gone, but quantity and quality has gone down. Has become quite the punk hangout as well. Wouldn't recommend.... I assume someone greedy took over and instead of quality they only care about quantity anymore. Sad to see, bistro used to be such a great spot. Overpriced for sub par food anymore. I mean hey drink selection is great, but you'll pay for that too....

We went to BoB for First Friday and boy, it was chaotic. Even with the extra busy night, Colin at the host stand was kind and organized. Our wait was long (large party) and he was apologetic. Our server, Sophie was the sweetest. She checked on us constantly and was great with our kids. Cheers to a great staff when under pressure.

Fun atmosphere pleasant staff. Wayyyy too much bbq sauce on the bowl I got. Terrible.

The store called me up and informed me that the Vegan pho would just be dry noodles and instead of canceling the order on DoorDash they waited for me to cancel it so that I could not get a refund, terrible, out $30 for no reason.

Used to only come for the night scene but we tried it once for dinner and were very impressed. My favorite spot in Phoenixville for drinks/apps and dinner would be great too. Shoutout to our waitress Alex!

We love the atmosphere at Bistro! Absolutely packed on a Saturday night. They don't have the best food in town, but make up for it with fast service and vibes. Nachos & pizza were enjoyable. Don't sleep on the cornbread either!

The food was nothing spectacular; the menu had comfort food with some variety. I loved the vibe though. Snuck in during a rainy Saturday evening and it was the perfect place to have a dinner date. The service was fair too!

This is a very modern comfy place to meet up and hang out with friends. There is a decent menu for sharables or to have an entree. The Bavarian pretzel is huge and freshly baked. The sweet potato fries were nicely done and paired with a sweet dipping sauce. The French onion soup is nice on a cool day. The brussel sprouts was probably my favorite due to the mix of acidity from the vinegar and saltiness. Definitely would love to return to hang out again.

Great place to stop in. Everything I've had from there has been good. I usually take clients or colleagues to eat here during the week to meet and discuss business. The food has never let me down. Sometimes the service is iffy. Not because anybody is rude, They just really give you your space to hang out and chat. Which is nice, but sometimes we are hanging around a bit waiting on the check overall great place.

PHOENIXVILLE, PA: to close out our trip to this lovely town, we had lunch at Bistro on Bridge and enjoyed a delicious vegan beyond burger sandwich, avocado toast with an added sunny side up egg, and a huge pretzel!!! Their whiskey selection is really nice and happy hour is Monday-Friday 4-6pm! They even have a doggie menu that supports Phoenixville Animal Rescue. This place is really lively in the evenings and their outdoor tables are dog friendly! They are also the sister restaurant to Bistro Dos! A couple of great restaurants right in town!

Absolutely love this place. Mal is for sure the greatest staple of Bistro and Phoenixville as a whole. They have the best cheesesteak eggrolls around and the short rib nachos are not to be missed

Went out to the bars on bridge street Friday night and stoped here first to get a bite to eat and then hit the upstairs bar. I ordered the short rib nachos because they sounded intriguing from the menu description. They did not disappoint, they were flavorful and filling. This was great for a light mean and the wasabi sour cream was perfect, all the flavor of wasabi but the texture of sour cream. The bar upstairs was great too with shuffleboard, arcade machines, and live music. The heaters on the one area were quite hot but other than that it was a great time.

I come to this place a lot. The food is great depending on who's cooking and whet time you come. The employees are disrespectful and some are racist. I've came multiple occasions with friends to eat and drink. There this one manger who seem to always iD me and not my friends and I think that's racist because all my friends are white and I'm the only black one. So I say something to the manager about the situation and she says I have a black boyfriend so I workout.

Came here for the Phillies world series game (sad) but was surprisingly pleased. I got wings with bbq Asian sauce. They were the best but they were good. I enjoyed the fries (except the fact that a side of fries costs $7 before tax and tip like sorry but no). My friend got a burger and said it was fantastic! She really liked it. We enjoyed some drinks and had a good time. Service was good until our servers shift ended and like we never got picked up by anyone? A little outrageous. We sat there for ages and eventually flagged someone down to order more. He was really nice. Then he kind of dissapeared too lol. Then we watched our two servers sit at a table across the room with other staff drinking and having a good time haha. We were like uhhh is anyone gonna serve us? Whatever. It ended up being okay but a little off putting for sure. Don't order a side of fries for yourself. It cost me like $8 at the end of the day. Really annoying. I am so sick of this kind of tactic. Idk why fries aren't free on the side of a dish anymore.

Great spot for brews and great pub food. Large selection of brews and cocktails. The place is huge and has outdoor seating. The short rib nachos are delicious. The French dip with the horseradish was also awesome. Super service as well.

My wife and I had a delightful lunch here. She had the Bistro Dip Sandwich and I had the Tuscan Chicken Sandwich. Both were very good and worth the price. We kidded that her sandwich was so big that she could barely get in the small-mouthed cup that held the red wine a jus. The homemade chips included with my sandwich were seasoned with Old Bay (or something similar) and were quite flavorful. My only complaint was that french fries, which are usually included in the price when a menu reads "choice of sides" were an upcharge of $2. I understand the upcharge for onion rings and truffle fries, but french fries? Businesses talk a lot about the "customer experience". Personally, I think that's just a lot of biz-speak but maybe management should consider our experience with the a jus and the french fries.

I am very disappointed with this establishment- as I visited it last Saturday night around 10 -my husband and two kids were visiting PA for a tournament. My 9 year old son left his wallet with 80$ on top of it - he had taken it out because he dropped his water on it and when we called to ask if they had it - they said they would call us back and never did. I guess I was just expecting them to be honest and give back the money and wallet, but nothing.

This bar is terrible. Imagine coming to town to visit phoenixville, I know not the ideal vacation spot but it'll do because your family lives here... but then you go to the one of 3 bars open on the night before thanksgiving. (Cocktail lounge man myself) and it happens to be this awful establishment that won't let you in because they don't bother to train their staff enough to recognize what an out of state id is. If only I was a 16 year old with a fake Pennsylvania ID like multiple girls that were excited to even be let in before me. Bouncer in the NC should find a new job if you can't identify what out of state ids are legit. Your company is losing business. Especially in a dead town like Phoenixville. This business sucks.

Food: way above average, creative, well made. Priced right. Not cheap ingredients and not cheap prices. Beer: Best in class. This is a bar that knows about good beer. If you truly are sophisticated beer drinkers, seeking good beer worth traveling for - this place is the place to be. No kidding. Hard to find this kind of beer outside of NYC Service: excellent. Total attention to the customer. Meredith and MARK!! are really soooo good! Happy to see them every week. Management: they come and speak to you about your response to what they're doing, and are very sensitive to what customers are enjoying, or not enjoying. A very unique place.

Great side walk dining food is great, lunch, special Cuban and a salad 13 bucks and a two dollar beer great service great place Zac was an excellent waiter. I would ask for him.

Great spot for groups or a solo date with your partner. When you walk in its pretty much an open floor plan. There is a second floor as I seen couples going up here and there. We sat at a table with bar stools. Our waiter came over shortly after and took our drink order. The decor was retro, and the staff were nice. I would have given five stars, but we had to constantly call our waiter over for service. She was standing by the bar chatting with her coworkers. I believe she came over to check in once and we were there for a hour. I felt bad but I had to deduct from her tip because of the lack of attentiveness to her tables specifically ours lol the food was spot on: We ordered shared plates. The Caesar salad, the risotto balls which were to die for... we also tried the general Tso cauliflower and the mini crab cake sandwiches with the truffle fries.

There are a number of things that puts this place as a number 1 or 2 spot in phoenixville for me. I love the open space and communal seats concept, the games and the "outside" space upstairs (and games). Very cool ambiance. The menu is very eclectic - which i love, and they offer a number of low-carb options in most categories. We did the meat and cheese board (generous) and shared 2 cauliflower crust pizzas among 3 - they were well executed and tasty (prosciutto & a margarita). Stick with the standard drinks however. The craft cocktails need a more experienced hand but they did a decent job on the generics. Service was prompt and friendly even for a big group with separate checks. Still can't figure out why a place of this caliber can't see their way to offering low-carb drink options. How hard is it to carry some diet mixers like Fresca, diet tonic or ginger ale? Com'on guys - get with the program! Listen to your customers...

I had passed by Bistro on Bridge several times but my first time going in was just recently when my husband and I were searching for a restaurant with outdoor dining in Phoenixville. We were hoping to find a causal place to grab some bar food and drinks, and this restaurant was the perfect fit. Bistro On Bridge has upgraded their second floor rooftop beer garden with pandemic restrictions and cold weather in mind. All tables were set more than six feet apart. They have added several heaters to make sure their customers are warm and cozy. Staff members were required to wear masks, as were all customers unless actively eating or drinking. I noticed a hand washing station in the corner of the room which I thought was a cool touch given the current times. My husband mentioned that he thinks that used to be a bar! While I was there, I kept it simple and sipped on some house red wine. My husband got a few different 6oz pours and was pleased with all of them. The food we got was really great! We started with a bavarian pretzel which was crispy on the outside, doughy on the inside, and served hot. It had the perfect amount of salt! It came with three dipping sauces. I will definitely be getting the pretzel every time I go here! For our mains, we go the turkey and brie sandwich and smoked gouda burger, and we split them both. Although both were delicious, I favored the burger and he enjoyed the sandwich. He said it reminded him of a dressed up version of the all famous Thanksgiving gobbler from Wawa which he is a big fan of! Our waitress wasn't overly friendly but very prompt and respectful. She made sure to keep a distance when taking orders and serving us. She also checked in on us throughout our meal. I'm looking forward to my next visit to Bistro On Bridge!Although I wish I had discovered this place during the winter, I'm excited to check it out in the warmer weather!

Inattentive and unpleasant waitress, who made dining here extremely uncomfortable. Disappointed doesn't do it justice because i've been here so many times, and hadn't had a negative thing to say until this visit. Our drinks were not refilled, our plates were not cleared. It's so unfortunate I have to update my review, solely because one servers neglectful service, and a comment of "I'm doing it now" when asked to have our plates cleared. The comment was unnecessary. It sounds like I'm out to get them but I assure you, I enjoyed dining here previously, and have had many laughs and drinks with friends here.

First time here. Beer and cider selection was great. Love the atmosphere Started with German Mac and cheese. Very tasty but wanted more cheese. We both had Pho bowl absolutely fantastic! Depth of flavor wonderful! Will be back!

We started our first First Friday in Phoenixville at the Bistro on Bridge! Again we were not disappointed! The only pictures I took this time around were of the appetizer and roof top. Megan was our server upstairs and on this busy day she was quick, efficient and attentive.

We came here when traveling for work on the suggestion of coworkers. We tried a handful of appetizers that we enjoyed. We got the duck nachos, mac and cheese balls, risotto balls, and philly cheese steak egg rolls. The nachos and egg rolls were my favorite. For our meal we got the pork belly grilled cheese and the Tuscan burger. We were supposed to get truffle fries but they gave us regular ones. The burger was good. The pork belly wasn't my favorite. It wasn't a grilled cheese, just a pork belly sandwich. We also got a cucumber drink that was pretty good. Overall we enjoyed it and thought it was a good place to grab dinner in the area.
