| - Well, well...I'm the 100th review for SideBar. Appropriate, I say.
What can I say...love this bar!
It's got this "neighborhood bar" vibe without the look of being tired, old, boringly familiar...get me?
The drink concoctions are deliciously dangerous (meaning: the good kind). Owner and uber-hip Josh Parry knows how to blend natural fruit juices, herbs and spices, and even horchata to come up with a drink that is can be so addicting...in a good way of course.
The ambiance is urban lounge-y, dark and private enough that you can have an intimate date here or show up with not a lot of make-up on and still look good. The crowd varies from young professionals, to hipsters, to government notables, to quirky artists...a good mix. Josh invites DJ on weekends and always holds fun events every now and then.
Personally, I am a fan of SideBar and Josh because they know their downtown PHX community. They are always ready to support a good cause and realize the importance of keeping the downtown scene alive. I have hosted two social events at SideBar and both were well attended (100+ guests) simply because they know that SideBar will graciously accommodate
