The SideBar is a trendy, aesthetically pleasing lounge hidden in plain sight above a Starbucks and across from Chipotle. I went late on a Friday night and both the bar area and dance floor were packed! The crowd was diverse, full of energy, and LGBTQ friendly.
This place is hip-- but it is not a "hipster" bar as many other reviews have claimed. The DJ blasted house music all night and the atmosphere was more club than lounge. Again, the space is incredible but not as enjoyable when filled to capacity. The bartenders were slammed, no doubt, and as a result it took over 10 minutes just to be acknowledged.
I would like to come back for happy hour or during a different DJ set next time.
