Friends, my wife, and I thoroughly enjoyed the place for dinner last night. ALL food was fresh and very well prepared. Service was also excellent. Grilled chicken dinner was everything I’d hoped for and same could be said for wife’s Nachos and friends’ burgers. I’ve paid more and gotten less even from places with good reputations. Place looks good but is a tad loud for my old ears.

It was a little loud during 4-7, but the food was great. Our waitress Olivia was super.

I had one of those experiences where I wanted to leave a good review to show the establishment that I had a good time, but also didn't in fear of too many others having that same experience and it becoming difficult to reserve their private space for future events.Last night, we all but got snowed in for our planned event so we had to improvise and move up the time on short notice so that people could drive home safely. The staff was amazing! The pizzas came out perfect and were served an hour and a half earlier than originally requested. Our private bartenders Samantha and Victoria handled our group amazingly and were extremely attentive. The space itself was beautiful and tucked away from the rest of the bar.Working up to the event, I corresponded with Alexis who helped me put the food order and event planning into motion. She was extremely easy to work with and understanding as the event details changed often.I sincerely hope Sidebar understands how much we appreciated their professionalism and efforts in planning our event because I feel like I can't do it enough justice here with just a simple review.

Went to the Side Bar and had a great experience I definitely like the atmosphere. Worth checking out for sure. I really like the new area in the back with the DJ. Share the brussel sprouts with a friend and they were really good.

I've been here multiple times never had a sour experience. Met so many great people and I'm always treated with kindness. One of the best places in East Lansing to grab some drinks.

Chicken tenders are the crowd pleaser. We tried them and they were not bad. They had a few sauces that made it taste even better. We also tried the brussel sprouts. We have had better but these could be ordered again.
