It’s a very small place but they have things that go on that you do not see at a regular bar. This was fun and they are always kind. It’s a new vibe and everyone should try it!

Me and a friend were at our hotel for her birthday prior to going to sidewinders, we have 3 cranberry vodka & felt totally fine, we ubered to sidewinders & ordered a red bull & vodka, first of all we both said the drink tasted weird, and we stopped drinking it about half way through, we both immediately got sick & we’re throwing up everywhere! We both blacked out & still have no idea what happened, but I’m pretty positive we have an idea of that we got roofied! 2 of my friends had the same experience about a year ago as well! Do not recommend!!

Please don’t eat here. This place is awful to the neighbors. They drink in the parking lot with party buses and music blasting middle of the week. 2am Wednesday morning they had a karaoke party outside. The residents in the area don’t like them. The food reviews are horrible. Please show some love to the neighborhood and don’t visit this place. It’s a quiet area, very quiet people and these guys are a nuisance. Thank you

My friend is the karaoke DJ on Thursday nights! I can’t say if the booze is good or not because I’m sober but they had mocktail and 0% beer and my Shirley temple was yummy.

I don’t even know where to start. I had one of the worst experiences of my life here. My husband and I came in for a dance night, we were having a great night, bartenders were great, we just had 2 drinks. My husband said he had to use the bathroom and so did I, we went to the restroom, there was a big stall so we both went in and as I was waiting for him to pee we heard a voice saying we had to get out…. Ok, my husband said ok, he just had to finish peeing. I literally was waiting against the wall for him to pee, he opened the stall to leave so I could pee and this guy out of nowhere started yelling at us saying we had to leave and we had to get off his property. I apologize if we broke the rules for both being on the same stall but we were treated like we were criminals, we almost got physically pushed out and I know it took everything in my husband to not retaliate because this person got physical with me…..
I really would just like an explanation of why this person felt that they had to humiliate us. We live in the neighborhood and love to support our community but this was absolutely insane. I will never come back here mainly because I do not feel safe and I would advise the same to anyone else. There were no altercations, we never interacted with anyone else in a confrontational way and yet it seemed we were targeted. Once again, one of the worst experiences of my life.

Rude and physically violent staff that assaults queer people and closes before posted hours. Completely unacceptable behavior and illegal assault of paying customers. Not worth your time or your dollars.

I came to sidewinders on 8/14/25 and the bartenders was going though it not acknowledging
I was there or asking what I wanted. After 2 rounds of a beer and a shot over 2 hours he told me I needed water even tho we’ve been drinking out of the igloo water they provided the whole time. I hope no one has to deal with him while he’s there and has a wonderful time. Because aside from that I definitely love sidewinders it’s and amazing bar.
I enjoy this place a lot as it's a great place for dancing and hanging with other LGBTQ+ people. However after trying to give everyone a chance my experience hasn't improved. I've been trying to find a good karaoke spot and the last 3 times I was there Michael was the KJ. All 3 times my friends and I had to wait almost 2 to 3 hours to sing 1 song, while I'm assuming the regulars and the KJ's friends sang 2 songs each. Most good KJ's put new people in the queue before any repeats. I'll continue to support the business but any new people should avoid karaoke nights. There are better places
