There's a decidedly clean, minimalist feeling at this spacious Union Square spot. Part sports bar, part low-lit lounge--depending on what game is on--SideBar attracts a crowd of mostly singles. The late-20s and early 30-somethings stop by for after-work drinks, and tend to stick around until it's almost time to go to work again. And why not? With quick service, Bud on tap, happy hour specials and classy pub grub like goat cheese-stuffed lamb burger sliders with mint ketchup, one could very well live here. On weekends a DJ spins Top 40 crowd-pleasers to a full house, while thirsty patrons sidle…

CHECK YOUR BILL!
by ascanlan
I went to SideBar last night with 3 other friends to watch the Yankees game. And everything was good. The drinks came fast, as did the food. The food was fine, not superb, but it is a sports bar afterall. All the TVs had the sound on and all of them were showing the game. And there were plenty of TVs. HOWEVER, when the bill came, there were a TON of mistakes. I handed the bill back to our waitress and told her she gave me someone else's tab. She said that, no, this was indeed our bill. There were 2 food items on the bill that we never ordered as well as several drinks. I had two conversations with her and two conversations with the manager. They took a few of the incorrect items off the bill but refused to take the others. The manager then proceeded to insult me, tell me that I looked drunk and called me a liar! (P.S. I had 2.5 glasses of wine...not drunk!) It was pretty terrible. So...my advice is: If you go to SideBar, keep track of what you order and check your bill!
- Pros: lots of tvs
- Cons: daft service; rude manager

Great Bar Great Drinks!
by JoeDee
I honestly hate how crowded bars get due to space constraints but SideBar works it out! There are crowds...hot crowds ;-)...but you can still chill with friends and have a good time.
The bartender was attentive and made a KILLER dirty martini. And the food was top notch and totally unexpected from a bar.
Wondering where to go? Check out Sidebar
- Pros: Great bartenders, great crowd, spacious, trendy
- Cons: None to speak of
