Restaurant Bar Haunts: Labor Day Edition

IMG_9026

A restaurant bar is a delicate thing. It can’t outshine the restaurant, but it needs to be cool enough to drink at even if you aren’t eating. As always, it’s about balance. I know of crappy bars in good restaurants and great bars in restaurants I wouldn’t eat at. One of my favorite restaurant bars is Bess Bistro. First: it’s tucked into an old building basement. I know! We are halfway there already. Second: one-piece metal, wrap around bar. Third: proper bar to stool height ratio. You don’t want to be sitting there feeling like a little kid or like Fezzik. Bonus: fish tank and the bathrooms are even cool.

Bess has a total of four of these booths in their dining area.

On the right is the corner of the bar. Those two stools are the best seats when it is hopping.

  1. Bess Bistro is a great place with nice design and a comfortable, yet hip atmosphere. Love the location. The bar supplies exactly what is needed for a relaxing drink after work.
