Just went here for some live music and bar eats. Love the Musket Haze beer from Hackensack brewing so them having this on tap is a huge plus. I recommend the crispy chicken Sandwich with spicy mayo or crab cake special. My lady loves the Mexican fizz cocktail and wings. Bartending staff, specifically Ryan, is excellent. Definitely recommend!

Such a good vibe! Went in for a date night with my boyfriend and had such a good experience from the food to the service. We had the crispy chicken sandwich and crab cake special. I had the Mexican Fizz cocktail and my boyfriend had the Musket haze beer from Hackensack brewing. We will definitely be coming back! Thanks

Sidebar is the best bar in Hackensack! Good food, good drinks, and amazing staff - especially Jojo the bartender. This place is like my second home and I always enjoy stopping by to catch up with friends.
