After hearing so much about sidebar and actually seeing the place I was quite impressed that the hype was backed up. although it doesn't seem like a big space there could have easily been 75 people in there that night. despite that I never had issues getting service and consistency. I'm assuming they don't have drink waitresses because one never came by our party's area but that was ok. Everytime I needed a drink for myself or my wife I was able to go up to "side" of the "bar" (I'm pretty sure this isn't why it's called that) and quickly get acknowledged added to my tab and on my merry way. and yes you can smell the pei wei, though I didn't order any, coincidentally myself and Chris H who was also at Sidebar that night ended up eating at that very same pei-wei not 2 days later.
All in all a very fun and cool bar( reasonably priced too)
