What a cute little place!
I've been waiting for a long time for Side Bar to open, and it was worth the wait. It's a tiny space that fills up quickly, but it's very chic without being pretentious. The wine list is good, with a nice variety, but the pours are pretty chintzy. The beer selection is decent too, but I think $5 is a bit high for beers as commonplace as Newcastle. They also have a full bar with a better selection than most bars- lots of whiskey and flavored vodka that you won't find in many bars.
SideBar is a great place to go with a couple of friends for drinks and conversation. The atmosphere is comfy, the staff is nice, and the drinks are good. What more could you ask for?
