I have lived in the Bay Area 19 years and only discovered the Bistro after 18 of them. What was I missing? Just the best fresh beer California has to offer is all. Ever since I have been going there at least twice a month, and every time I go Vic the proprietor has 3-4 new things on tap I have never tasted, and every one is interesting if not superb. His special relationship with brewers, developed throug years of hosting IPA and other special-brew festivals, enables him to rotate kegs through that nobody else around the bay can get, such as excellent San Diego brews from Green Flash, Stone, and Port, to name a few. Also, there are precious few locations in the Bay Area where you can reliably get the fine Russian River IPAs, and none south or west of Hayward. That's a shame, the South Bay beer selection is dominated by Gordon Blech and the Tide Outhouse, but it's all to the Bistro's glory that fantastic brew is only 20 minutes away from San Jose.

Hector was the chef in charge - his Citrus Salad with spinach (my request) was the best ever that I've had a Buffalo Bill's, along with the Chicken Pesto sandwich and the just out of the oven Creme Brulee - outstanding! Jaime is the Best Waitress too. Thank you so much! Julia Mark

Best thing about the Bistro is its outdoor seating - and its proximity to Buffalo Bills Brewery. The two establishments serve up a great beer selection in the same block! A definate MUST DO for beer lovers coming through Hayward!

Went to the Double IPA festival this past February and loved it (spent most of the Saturday there than went back for more on Sunday). I plan on going back again next year. Where else can you get that many big IPA's in one place? I've also been here once before when some band was playing and had a good time because it's just a nice cozy place to chill out and drink a few brews.

The 2003 (6th annual) IPA fest had 40 IPA's, but at $15 for four 6 oz tastes, it was way out of line. The fest was also confined to the Bistro, which is rather small. There was very little seating. I would not go to this fest again.

Love the beer selections and the vibe of the place. Nice outdoor patio section for slammin a few. Good music selections from the bartenders and they have very good speakers inside & outside. Good bands show up to play a modest sized stage. I've never eatin there but then again, beer is food. The Bistro is a cool place to hang if you're in Hayward.

The best place for a good beer in the South part of Alameda County. Don't miss the annual IPA festival!
