| - I've been to Sidelines twice in the past year or so; 3 times total. Nothing particularly fascinating makes me visit. It's usually some place my friends want to go to and we end up there. The last time I went, I brought it up because I really wanted to watch the US Open, and I knew just about every bar in the city (I called several to confirm) would be showing football and nothing but. Sidelines assured me I could watch some tennis, and they didn't disappoint.
Now onto the bar itself--it's a decent place. I'll echo the comments of some; I'm not sure why you have to pay a cover to get in, but I guess for $5 you really can't complain all that much. The bartenders are great, especially the older black guy. (I don't know your name, but if you ever see this, keep it up!) The drinks are also really good--they make a killer Long Island. I like that pool, cricket (darts), and corn hole are free, and they also have a giant Jenga set you can play with.
The only drawback is they have no menu. You have to go next door to Skyland Restaurant, which is not AT ALL good. Maybe they'll consider investing in a kitchen so they can really kick it up a notch.
All in all, I'll go back again. It's usually an older crowd, which isn't a bad thing, and there isn't so much shade, ignorance, and childishness that the young kids like to engage in. If you want a relaxed atmosphere, check this place out.
