Walking into Bistro Twenty 4, the first thing that catches your eye is the impressive island bar at the center, surrounded by high-top seating and tables spread throughout the open space. The layout offers a comfortable environment perfect for a casual hangout or catching a game with friends. For sports fans like myself, the dozens of TVs positioned around the room ensure you won’t miss any action.
The craft beer selection is somewhat limited and leans heavily toward IPAs, featuring local favorites like Two Roads, Counter Weight, Dogfish, Fat Orange Cat, and Back East. However, I opted for something different and chose their house espresso martini made with Baileys (apologies to Baileys skeptics!). The martini was rich and velvety, expertly balancing the bold, dark notes of espresso with the smooth sweetness of Baileys. Finished with three coffee beans—a traditional symbol of health, wealth, and happiness—each sip was indulgent and perfectly satisfying.
For food, I went with the Bourbon BBQ wings. Simply put, they were a standout. Each wing was generously meaty and cooked to perfection, striking a harmonious balance of crispiness that enhanced every bite. The meat was tender and practically fell off the bone, making them a delight to eat. Flavor-wise, the bourbon BBQ glaze delivered a gentle sweetness without overpowering the dish. These wings are a must-try for anyone who loves a blend of texture and rich flavor—no dipping sauce necessary.
Before I wrapped up my visit, I couldn’t resist trying a Twix Martini. The bartender’s friends were there celebrating his birthday, and it was the cocktail or choice, so I had to jump in on the fun. This drink, with its caramel swirl inside the glass, caramel vodka, Irish cream, amaretto, and a touch of chocolate syrup, was as decadent as it was beautiful. The graham cracker rim added a subtle crunch that softened the boozy notes of the vodka, resulting in a balanced and visually stunning dessert cocktail.
Bistro Twenty 4 is more than just a spot to grab a drink—it’s an experience that combines great food, unique cocktails, and a welcoming atmosphere perfect for sports lovers and foodies alike.
