I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'bistros' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both man-made objects as well as being plural nouns.
Maybe you can see an association between them that I don't see?

'awfully snide around right' is the wordplay.
'awfully' indicates an anagram.
'around' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'right' becomes 'r' (common abbreviation).
'snide' is an anagram of 'dines'.
'dines' placed around 'r' is 'DINERS'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for diners that I've seen before include "Eaters of a meal" , "Restaurants" .)
