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.

After only a few months in business, SideBar received enough votes from Cary Magazine readers to merit an Honorable Mention in the Best Cocktails Maggy Award category.
