Express Serving Static Files

I'm just learning how to use Express, and am trying to serve the static files, like the bootstrap.min.css file.

Here's my folder structure: 

server.js
/server
    /includes
        layout.jade
    /public
        /css
        /vendor
            /bootstrap
                /dist
                    /css
                        bootstrap.min.css
    /views
        index.jade

I'm using wiredep in my Gulpfile.js, and have tried several different variations of the configuration, and haven't gotten anything. Here's my server.js file: 

var express = require('express');

var app = express();

var env = process.env.NODE_ENV = process.env.NODE_ENV || 'development';

var port = process.env.PORT || 5000;

app.use('/server', express.static('public'));
app.set('views', './server/views');
app.set('view engine', 'jade');

require('./server/routes/routes')(app);

app.listen(port, function(err) {
    console.log('running server on port: ' + port);
});

I've tried a couple different ways setting the express.static part, but again, it isn't serving the static files.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Try:

 app.use(express.static(__dirname + '/server/public'));

on link tag

href = "vendor/bootstrap/dist/css/bootstrap.min.css"
