| - Their specialty cocktails are pretty tasty. I've had the mojito, which was a little sweet for my liking, but still pretty good. My friend had a cucumber martini, which I highly recommend! They also have a huge selection of bottled beers.
The bartenders can get busy, but they have always been friendly. When I ordered my second Jim Beam and ginger ale, one of the bartenders recommended I try Jim Beam Rye, and she even let me sample a bit before I decided.
The atmosphere is pretty cool, but the barstools can be awkward to sit on. On Sunday nights after 9, there is a DJ, and he was pretty good both times I went.
While Sidebar has many positives, it can get pricey. I think for the mojito and martini I paid $20, and that was with the 20% discount on Sunday nights.
Also, I know everyone says the crowd is a mix, but the last two Sundays I've been, it was hipster city. If that's your crowd, then you'll love this place. I, however, prefer a place where I feel like I'm not being judged because I don't measure up to some level of coolness. And while I used to think it was all in my head, I heard the guy next to me tell his lady friend in a rather condescending voice, "Oh, they're not regulars," while starring at my friend and I.
