What is the difference between a bistro table and a pub table?
The main difference between a bistro table and a pub table is the size. A bistro table is usually around 28 to 36 inches tall, so you can sit at it with a standard dining chair. Often, people pair bistro chairs with bistro tables. A pub table is taller at around 40 to 44 inches and requires a pub-height chair or stool for comfortable seating.
