Maybe I caught this place on a bad night, but I really didn't care for SideBar. First off, it smelled like someone had just gotten sick. If you're gna have a small establishment, at least make way for some ventilation. Second, there was only one bartender/waitress for the entire place. We got zero service. With only 6 people in the bar it still took 15 minutes to get a beer. SideBar is a small, trendy place with a bunch of cool art on the walls, but its decor doesn't make up for its faults. It has so much potential, if only they could get another waitress and some air in there.
Overall, I would not recommend SideBar...unless you need a real drink after hitting up the Pei Wei downstairs.
