The term “bistro” became popular in America during the mid-20th century. Bistro is short for bistrouille, French name for a drink made of coffee and brandy. Bistrouille in turn derives from the French bis, meaning twice, and touiller, meaning to mix, the coffee first being mixed with milk and then with the brandy.
Bistro was a place for working men and struggling artists in the late 19th century to gather.

Today a bistro can be anything from the dining establishments to an annex of a famous restaurant that wants to attract a wider range for diner.
