Super Fun and a great Atmosphere. We did karaoke Tuesday for the first time and we had the time of our life. Drinks are pretty cheap. Staff is super nice and great to talk to. 100% recommend coming here.

It's not a huge place but it's a real good vibe to it. Its sorta an upscale dive bar. It's a great addition to the area which is either super white or super douchie. It has high ceilings which makes the music echo and boom. There's 8 TVs for sports and the food channel that was on when I came. With 20 people it feels crowded. Capacity is probably about 75. It's a cozy place for sure. There's not a lot of parking available as it shares a lot with a bigger restaurant next door. I didn't eat anything here but the food didn't look too bad. The prices for beer is about 8 bucks. Cocktails is 12 bucks. And wine is 9. Happy I came on a Friday night at 10pm. It's a 21+ bar and closes at midnight. Solid place. Check it out!

I drive by here everyday on the way to my kids school and saw this place open up so I decided to give it a try.Walking up I was a bit thrown off. The windows are somewhat double sided in that you can see out but can’t really see in. I almost wasn’t sure they were open.Once inside I was very pleasantly surprised. The bartenders were both very nice, their drink recommendations were fantastic and the music was on point.Hope they stick around, it’s always nice to have great new spots pop up in the neighborhood.?

Great local dive bar. Plays local football, fights, etc on PPV. They had a DJ on a Saturday night. He played his own personal preference set and would not take requests even when tipped. My question is why hire a DJ if he doesn't play for the people in the bar?!

Absolutely awesome spot. Small and cozy Has darts, pool table, DJ night, Karaoke night etc. Incredibly nice staff and fun to chat with. It's a great local vibe that welcomes everyone. Super clean Well made drinks Clean as can be No drama, it's a place where you can hang out, take a date, enjoy a GNO, anything and not be bothered. This is a great location and is a must visit

Really, the only bad thing is bartenders can switch the music you paid for and don't care if they do. Overall, great little place good

My husband and I have been living in the area for over 3 years and Side Piece's main business Bay Hill has been nothing short of spectacular. Side piece has much to learn... Their bartenders were relatively short-tempered and don't bother to listen. We paid for their jukebox service which was cut off after 30-40 seconds of our song, which was ok considering it was Sunday afternoon so football... when we inquired we were met with a hard wall of "it's not my problem". Like I said, we're locals and come to these establishments often so to be dismissed that way was kind of odd and, honestly heartbreaking. We would have understood if they said sorry and offered a refund for the song we paid for. We eventually got our refund.

Let me start by saying i absolutely love Bay Hill Tavern and figured this connecting little bar would be just as amazing! The drinks were good price and the atmosphere is cool, even love that they had the UFC fight playing! BUT, the workers from bayhill had gotten off work and for some reason felt the need to hog the pool table the entire night. we tried many times to play and were told we could not play each other and we were the ones to PAY to play against their own workers? seems weird. i'd probably just go to a different bar in the area in the future unless they'll start to actually accommodate their paying customers.

The owners of Bay Hill Tavern in Clairemont have converted a former money loan shop next door into an intimate bar, Side Piece. The operating hours were from 5 pm to midnight daily with happy hour between 5 and 7 pm. The inside had numerous flat-screen TVs for viewing sporting events, a pool table in one corner, and a dart board in another corner. Parking at the venue was limited to a few spaces out front and then several more in the back that were shared with BHT.The bar food choices were limited to six appetizers... wings, pretzels, flatbread, chips & dip, skins, and fries. From this list, I picked the wings with salt & pepper seasoning (versus spicy). The seven pieces were served with carrots, celery, and ranch dressing. The size of the wings was average while the coating was fairly crispy.On the evening of my visit, a deejay was setting up a karaoke station for future mic nights. This place has the potential to be a buzzy hang out spot as a complement to its adjacent larger brethren. For now, I rated my experience at Side Piece with three stars until the business has more time to develop.

Great atmosphere. Lots of TVs to watch your favorite sports games. We had the homemade chips and onion dip. Fabulous!!! Good selection of adult beverages. Attentive service. We will be back!!!
My friends and I went to Side Piece for happy hour. We had such a great time playing music on the jut-box and watching the padres game. The food and drinks were perfect. Loved the vibe and bartenders were friendly too.

New spot with room to grow... just small appetizers at the moment but the drinks won't disappoint. Staff is as legit as always since it's Bayhill fam.

Wonderful place to unwind. The exact kind of bar needed in that area. The bathrooms are exquisite. I took a 12 pound s*** there.

Love the new spot for adults to come hang out and drink. Love the side piece options you can get a Modelo and shot of tequila for $10

Why are you reading this? Get over there and get you a Side Piece!!! Great time with kickass people!!! My wife and I had a blast with the adults only area. BayHill is badass too, but sometimes adults want to talk and be around just other adults. So glad that they are finally open. Don't cry about parking because people cross streets in other areas too so get a few extra steps in to make up for the alcohol!!! Get that Side piece!!!
