Bistro on Bridge Review

Great location and the building has a sprawling floor plan with high ceilings. Focused on service. Tap list is extraordinary.

Service was really friendly. Good beer selection. We enjoyed the outside seating. The crispy ribs were awesome.

Nice place to go for quick bite before or after the movie. Quick, polite service. Everyone in the group liked the playlist and that the music wasn't blasting. Our meals were good. Nothing fancy or inventive but enjoyable.

Very friendly service and crowd. Nice large tables for seating. Many TVs for sports and nice selection of beers.

Food and drinks are usually very good. It is in Phoenixville though so the town and parking sucks.

My husband and I were spending the day in phenixville and this was one of the places we went on our brew crawl. The staff was friendly and informative about the place itself and items offered. Oysters and a brew were enjoyed by my husband. His observation was once again of the the 10 or so beers on the menu 6 were American IPAs. As you can guess he is not a fan. I had their peach/berry sangria which was a delightful concoction.
Parking was convenient and close on the street.

If you haven't been since the renovations, get back there. Great new menu, atmosphere, and crowd.

I had the southwest salad with chicken, it was alright, small for the price. My friend had the Vietnamese Pho Bowl and loved it.

Always enjoy the food and drink options. The peppercorn short rib bowl is a favorite!

Love this place! Had a couple great apps and burbon cocktails. The staff was on point! Will definitely go back for a full meal. The upstairs had a neat outside venue with cool decor

Great Food, Great Atmosphere, but the coffee was terrible. Great Back Bar though!

Loved the small plates and grapefruit gin fizz cocktail.

Decent food, gets pretty crowded but overall a nice atmosphere.

Love the renovation done with the place. Would rate a 5 if the prices were a little more reasonable. I think the prices are at too much a premium

Burger was overdone and ribs were burnt. But most disappointing on our two visits was how slow the kitchen was. For salads and lunch orders, we waited more than 30 minutes. We would have been there another weeknight but the wait was over an hour. Has potential but really needs some management.

Awesome place for food. We didn t expect Phoenixville to have a place with such a nice ambience but this place definitely surprised us

Awesome beer selection with a rotating tap and pretty good burgers. Their wings are a little on the pricey side but still really great.

Great food. Great service. All around a place a come to offten

I had my 40th birthday party here last night upstairs in the Analog Room. I have been working with Nanette for several months and she was very responsive and helpful throughout the process. When I arrived yesterday, I was carrying my birthday cake into the space and I tripped and fell with it, basically thinking I ruined the cake. Nanette jumped right in to clean everything up and she miraculously was able to fix the cake. She went above and beyond the entire night to make sure my guests and I had a wonderful time. She really made a point to make me feel special. One of my guests has a food allergy, so Nanette was able to add another menu item so this person could eat. I really can't say enough great things about Nanette and the overall experience. It absolutely exceeded my expectations. It was a shared event space - there was a high school reunion next to us, and the bar and outdoor rooftop area were open to the public, but it didn't seem too loud or too crowded. We weren't rushed even when we all did not leave on time, the bartenders were very friendly and fast. 5 stars: I'll need to throw myself another party here again soon!

Nice joint there on Friday night pretty busy. Upstairs are seemed to b like a night club atmosphere and was loud. Some what pricey but not to bad

I like it. D@mn good food, good service, excellent music, attractive interior. It's a win on all counts. Come and see.

Great food and drinks! Nice outside 2nd floor, heated area. Very friendly staff. Was great will go again soon.

We love this place... Gr8 service.. Fun place... Good food.

Food was great and so was the service. Our server was knowledgeable and made great beer recommendations!

Everything was good and the service was great. Unfortunately things were just too skimpy in weird places, i.e., cuban sandwich needs more than 1/100th of a pickle, hardly any meat on one half (which I didnt find out until next day when I looked forward to having it for lunch). I was so bummed! Great burger and fries. Also drinks are expensive for the strictly measured pours. I would definitely go back but 3 stars is all I can give right now. Just not the greatest value.

Great food. Reservations for Friday-Saturday, otherwise skip it.

Nice place. Really good food and a decent selection of beer/wine. I think some of the apps could be a dollar or two lower based on the quantity of food, but overall it's worth the trip.

Made a reservation over the weekend and everything went super smooth. We arrived a bit early and the hosts at the time offered for sidewalk seating but we ended up just waiting it out with to-go beers outside which was a nice accommodation. Rooftop Beer Garden was super cool and the overall quality of the food and service was great. Would come back here without hesitation.

Awful experience. Had eaten there several times before and the food was not great. Dealt with extremely rude hostesses never got what the big deal was about this place was. I gave it 4 times. So, last time complete disaster. We dined on a Sunday night it was slow, i was never brought my wine. Worse all dishes were served cold. Actually one was luke warm. Horrible, classless restaurant. Terrible service. Overpriced, worst restaurant in phoenixville. It s a night club not a restaurant. Totally trashy.

Great beer selection combined with friendly staff makes it a great place to hang and enjoy a beautiful summer night downtown

Service & food was very good & a large selection of beer.

Food was good. But the tall chairs outside were very difficult to sit on. Waitress was helpful.

Bar drinks must be ordered from the host stand, but shots came in cool styrofoam cups!

Ate here several times last year and the service was much better at the bar. Took my two teenagers to eat in the dining room area once. When we came in the the "hostess?" did not acknowledge us for several minutes and when she did , she halfheartedly asked "do ya want a table?". What did she think we were standing there for? I realize this place is fairly casual but her disinterested demeanor and slovenly outfit-flip flops and ill fit ting bottom of the dirty laundry pile sleeveless (dress?)- did not represent well for this establishment. The "hostess" literally slapped the menus down on the table and mumbled so incoherently (then just turned on her heel and walked away) that we all asked each other: "what did she just say?" However, we had a nice table looking out at the street traffic and the server was much better than the "hostess". Food was excellent, as it was when my husband and I had eaten at the bar- you have to try the risotto balls. My advice to the bistro is replace your hostess-she is not at all a good 'front face' person-maybe she should try dishwashing. Otherwise, good eatery. I'll be back to give it another try.

Bistro on Bridge was responsible for ruining my rehearsal dinner and causing a substantial embarrassment in front of about 50 people.

I booked my rehearsal dinner with Bistro on Bridge several months after getting engaged. We were told that the upstairs space was "semi private." When we asked what that meant, we were told that people would be able to sit at the outside deck, but the inside space would be ours. They also told us they have valet parking; this, as you probably know, is critical in Phoenixville. Satisfied with these answers, we booked the venue.

Then things went sideways. About a month or so before the rehearsal dinner, we were notified that there would be another rehearsal dinner in the space with us. This was not completely acceptable, but we didn't have time to find a new place and they did not offer to return our deposit. They assured us that the space would still be alright and we could use it without interference. We reluctantly agreed.

Next, we learned that there is a DJ that comes on at 9PM. We were told that it is "not intrusive" and shouldn't be too loud, and our rehearsal dinner would be alright. Out an entire deposit if we cancelled, we said that we trusted them and kept our reservation.

HUGE MISTAKE.

When we arrived, my guests were forced to wait in line like they were waiting to get into a frat party while the world's slowest ID checkers made them stand on the stairs to scan their IDs. This included my mobility impaired grandmother, who is clearly not a teenager. This is a private event; do not treat your event customers like they're college kids.

Next, the place was not remotely private. Not only did we share the space with another rehearsal dinner, but the ENTIRE INSIDE SPACE WAS PUBLIC. So public in fact, that DRUNK PATRONS STOLE FOOD FROM OUR REHEARSAL DINNER.

The worst part of the whole experience, however, is that it was unbelievably loud. There was a horrible musician there whose music was being blasted into our space. This, plus all the drunk patrons, meant that my father gave a speech at my rehearsal dinner that no one could hear. The extent to which this breaks my heart cannot be overstated. People dream of their weddings for their entire lives. To have this venue lie to us about the space meant that I didn't hear the speech that my dad spent weeks working on and that he hoped I would remember for the rest of my life. Neither did any of my family. Oh, and by the way- that "not intrustive" DJ was set up DIRECTLY next to my tables.

Next, The bartender refused to give me two drinks at once. After fighting my way through a crowd of fratty college kids to get to the bar, I asked for two glasses of wine. The bartender refused. I told him it was my rehearsal dinner and I was hoping to get a drink for the groom as well. He told me I'd have to make two trips.

Next, the staff at Bistro on Bridge cleared the tables an HOUR before our event ended. I had to intervene and tell a staff member that the "private space" was still reserved for another hour. They tried to kick us out a full 30% early.

Finally, our cars were "valet parked." However, they actually don't perform the service that you pay for. Instead, they park your car 4 blocks away and stop retrieving them at 10PM. This means that when your mobility impaired grandparents want to get their car back, it isn't retrieved by a valet and they have to walk a quarter mile back to their car which is now in a totally different location than where they left it.

Shame on you, Bistro on Bridge, for telling people that you have private venue spaces. You single handedly ruined one of the most important evenings of our lives because you wanted to make a few bucks. Shame. On. You.

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.

The mixed drinks here are amazing. Perfect! I would come back just for that. Unfortunately the food is forgettable to poor. I ordered the carnita tacos which were pretty good. My wife and my sister in law ordered the fish tacos that were so salty they were unpalatable. The fries tasted good but it seemed the the oil they were cooked in was off. I ordered the hanger steak, medium, which came out already sliced up in about 8 small slices on a bed of steamed unsalted spinach. The meat looked and tasted like it had been reheated after being sliced up. I'm only sharing this because I see great potential in this place and want it to improve to what it could be. I would give it another try.

(Edit) came back a year later and the service is awful and rude. I'll give this one more shot in case we came on an off night.

Omg omg love love this place . Ate there night of burning the Phoenix.....Great atmosphere....

I've never had food here that I didn't like. The cauliflower crust pizza is amazing.

Three Smoked Guda Burgers took almost 30 minutes to come out on a Thursday a little after 1:30pm. I ordered my burger medium and it came out well done. It was still very appetizing, but not made to what I would have preferred. Server was friendly. It's a beautiful restaurant/bar. I can't believe club 212 was ever in this building!

This place is 100% better than it used to be. The inside is cleaner and looks much nicer. I had the oysters and the truffle fries and both were terrific. This is now on my list of bars to visit regularly.

No serving good upstairs but still a really good time

Great beer selection. Recommend Irish Potato V3. Nicely updated place to enjoy.

The staff was friendly and helpful, and the atmosphere of the restaurant was very nice. The fact that the front opens up is a cool feature as well.

When we went my friends got the pizzas, and the sauce was very spicy despite not being listed on the menu. I got the short rib bowl, and while good, it was very salty.

Waiter was good. Food was delicious. Hostess was very rude & gave us dirty looks when I asked for booth.

Great service Great Food and the Wings OHHH BOY THE BEST HONEY BARBECUE WINGS I'VE EVER HAD! If you like Honey Barbecue Wings GO HERE!

Love Bistro, and Anolog room. Great food, great beer, friendly staff. Only negative I would say is some drinks are overpriced, $14 for a Dirty Martini is like NYC$$$

I love the atmosphere and what they did with the place. It s so nice with the windows and big tables. Food wise, The Asian wings are the best wings I ve ever had. And the buffalo cauliflower tacos were so good. I find that every time I go in, service could be a little quicker, or when I m waiting at the bar for takeout. But overall we always enjoy it here.

We simply were looking for a place to eat late at night. There was not much to choose from. Bistro on the Bridge had some late night options that were more like appetizers. A waiter never came around. Maybe at this time of night, they don't serve tables? I'm not sure. I had to go up to the bar and only one attentive bar tender paid any attention. The food was tasty enough but seemed a bit pricey for what is was. We had three appetizers and two were quite small. It added up to almost thirty dollars. The restaurant was beautiful.

Good Service. Ok food. Good Beer Selection. More of a sports bar. Very loud.

Had a great time day drinking and sitting in the front window. Very nice, worth a visit for sure!

Loved the place!!Nice environment with friendly people.

Celebrated a birthday, had alittle confusion on about if people and seating but was taken care of quickly and professionally, the wait staff was very helpful and polite, stayed on top of all our needs. Good was fresh, hope and can out perfectly spaced, nothing forgotten. Can only take CC for payment but that's not their fault that's Corona virus. Highly recommend this place. Fun time

Appetizers? Amazing! Burgers? Amazing! Beer Selection? Amazing! Checked all my boxes.

Good food, a little on the high side $$$ for what you get. Great beer selection at market price.

One of my favorite spots in Phionexville for a date night or out on the town night. I can't wait for them to bring back thier full menu since they have cut what seem to be all the best items off thier menu since COVID :(

Great food and the best burger you'll ever have! It's a bar, fine dining restaurant and a club! So whatever you're in the mood for they can accommodate! They have 3 different rooms! They are in the heart of downtown Phoenixville, so after dinner you can walk the town! Just an all around great spot!

Food is amazing here as well as their drink selection

Excellent selections of liquor and wines. Food is pretty good as well. Nice atmosphere and fairly busy all the time. Beer selections are many with a lot of local brews as well. Clean and well staffed. Recommended.

So cool, so hip, so clean. This is by far, absolutely the #1 place overall in town. The design and style is exactly what this current cool post-modern society wants and it is what everyone has been looking for. The staff is knowledgeable, professional and yet still so cool. I am stunned and speechless. That is the greatest bar in town.

We had a Christmas party there. We were about 25 people. We were harassed by the staff and management from the moment we got there to the moment we all left. I'll never go there again. The staff were very unwelcolming. Awful experience!

Never ever a complaint here! From the staff to the food, all good .. actually all great.

Food was good, nice place to eat and drink after shopping the awesome stores downtown!

For having restrictions due to COVID, Bistro on Bridge is a great place to go for a drink and quick meal! Mike our waiter was amazing and efficient and Christine the general manager was so great making sure we were comfortable with outdoor dining and accommodating. Great place to be, especially during a troubled time. We ll definitely be back!

New decor was great. Beer selection was awesome. Food was just OK and while it wasn't busy.. At all... The service was a miss

4th try...want to like it but not consistent. Also Seems diet/allergen friendly but too may contaminents. Shared dryer with shellfish bread etc. Service gas gone down over past couple years too. The good ones seem to have split. Good luck if you try it. Have 3 stars on account of you have no dietary needs and they seem to be trying!

Centrally located, good cubano sandwich, friendly staff, delicious beer cheese sauce for the beer battered fries! My wife loves the grapefruit gin fizz cocktail! We've been there twice, we'll be back!

One of our favorites downtown. Extensive beer list, great small plates, excellent entrees.

We were sitting outside right outside the door and did not even get acknowledged. Thought we were wearing an invisibility cloak. Not even a glass of water. Food sounded good but didn't have a chance to try it. Left.

There is a lot to like in Phoenixville & Bistro on Bridge is one of the best.

My favorite place in Phoenixville, keep up the good work

Decent food, good beers, bright, airy, and mostly clean. There is a game room upstairs

Crab soup was excellent dont get the cup go ahead and get the bowl. Burger was ok. I ordered fresh cut fries never received them. The waitress was never around. Drink stayed empty. I loved the atmosphere of the restaurant.

I go there at least once a week. Beer selection is always good and food is better than the average bisto or gastropub. The staff is friendly and attentive.

Had a great experience. Food was good , service was better. Second floor bar had a great atmosphere thought bar was a little slower. Seemed to cater to regulars sitting at the rail. May have just been the night so wouldn't fault. Will for sure go back.

Always happening place with great collection of beers and board games. Great place for friends and even families.

All around solid pub. Food is on point and the staff is very friendly and attentive. Good atmosphere and family friendly. Their pretzel is a great place to start for beer drinking.
