Description

Specialties

We are an American style bar & bistro, serving comfort food and great drinks at great prices. We have live entertainment every week!

Come for diner, and stay to enjoy our live music which we host 5 nights a week (Wednesday-​Sunday). We offer a full bar and have 12 beers on tap many of which are regional Micro Brews.

We offer a nightly Happy Hour from 4pm to 7 pm, featuring fun drinks and casual food such as sliders, flat bread pizzeta, and BEC’s fries (regular and garlic. yum!).

BEC’s Bar & Bistro features a full bar with a large selection of Scotch, Vodka and Tequila. The sky is the limit at BEC’s Bar & Bistro where our spirits and libations have taken on a life of their own. Our entire bar staff has been fully trained in the art of Scientificomixomagico; in short, super fun drinks! Don’t bother looking it up, we are the only place to have a dictionary with this word in it; but trust us when we say «We make one mean cocktail.»
