About Us

SideBar, a full-fledged cocktail joint that’s quickly become a popular drinking spot for locals after work, in the evenings and on weekends. Located in the Mid-Town Square building, SideBar is open six days a week and provides quality hand-crafted cocktails while fostering a sense of community for the 21-and-older crowd.
