A Brief Histroy

The Bistro 258 building was built in 1888 and was originally called the "Union Restaurant," owing to its proximity to the Union Pacific Railroad Depot.

Ogden has always been a little on the "edgy" side of the otherwise squeaky-clean image of Utah and Salt Lake City. When the railroad came to Utah, it deliberately bypassed the Salt Lake City "Mormon" hub and came to Ogden, creating a wealth of commerce and industry.

Many of the buildings on 25th st. housed legitimate businesses, such as cafes, furniture stores and hotels. On the upper levels of the businesses, however, were several brothels. Our own building, at one time, housed "Mary Martin's Ritzi Rooms." Bistro 258 has been at least twelve different restaurants over its 120 year history and it still remain as one of the least disturbed buildings on the street.

There are many rumors about 25th st and its sordid past. It is said that during the days of prohibition, that liquor was transported through underground tunnels from the Depot to various "Speak easys". There is a tunnel in our basement, which travels eastward, but dead-ends where new concrete basements have been poured in the adjoining buildings.

Bistro 258 was founded by partners Todd Ferrario and Mike Attento, and was their business for approximately 7 years. They split up the partnership in June of 2007 and the business was purchased by father and son team: Nick and Devin Cash. Owning a restaurant has always been a mutual dream for Nick and Devin, and now it is a reality.
