| - A really quaint little bar that we discovered for the first time because they were throwing a MST3K themed viewing party. We really enjoyed the space and the atmosphere, the drink specials were priced right, and we had a great time.
Side Quest does not have a formal menu, but does serve sandwiches (Pit Stop) and brownies (Fear's Confections). Definitely a bit of an odd approach for a bar of this caliber. The foodie inside of me is definitely bummed out by the lack of a menu, but the frugal part of me does a happy dance because you can bring your own food or order pizza (I'm looking at you, Angelo's!), which totally makes for a fun, cheaper date night.
For the event, the bartenders were serving up some specialty cocktails themed around the series. Our group tried all three being offered; two were delicious, one was pretty undrinkable, but overall I think they did a great job of pulling off themed drinks. We switched to beer thereafter, and they had a decent selection that we were pleased with. The service itself was a little slow (seemed understaffed for the crowd), but very friendly and helpful once they got around to you.
And then of course there are the board games. $1 per player, rental fee waived on Tuesdays. They have all the classics and then a lot of novelty games and oddities. Maybe not enough to satisfy a seasoned board gamer, but for me and my group they have everything we need and then some. If you don't fall into the latter, they welcome you to bring your own games as well.
I highly recommend Exploding Kittens after a few too many adult beverages. You can thank me for the laughs later. See you again soon, Side Quest!
