The Side Bar Reviews
What a great alternative to the college- bar scene in uptown Athens! Amazing food menu, comfy interior and fantastic bar drinks. Their live music offerings are eclectic and fun!
Stumbled upon this place while visiting Athens and so glad we did! The atmosphere is cozy, eclectic and fun bar with such cool vibes! The food was definitely not your typical bar food! More like something you'd get in an upscale restaurant. We had the mushroom ravioli and it was unbelievable! All the staff were friendly and very attentive. Cocktails were very well crafted and balanced. 100% recommend and can't wait to go back for some live music!
The food was inspired by greatness! It was delicious and perfect.

The Nepali Momo is a standout dish, and the chill atmosphere and welcoming staff make for a wonderful experience. The variety of events hosted here and the delicious dessert options, including treats from Flour & Thyme, make it a highly recommended spot.
The restaurant has a very cool, inviting atmosphere. Guests have reported enjoying the friendly, welcoming vibe and excellent service. The beer cheese and pretzels, as well as the crème brûlée, have been praised as delicious. However, some have noted that the service can be slow during busy periods. The restaurant's open layout may also lead to some discomfort when the front door is opened, as the cold air can reach the dining area. Overall, The Side Bar is a popular spot for its delicious food, great drinks, and fantastic atmosphere.
