hard to imagine slower speed of service. Have now waited 45 minutes for food and zero care.

Very cool place. Very inviting. I stopped here with the wife. We got into town late, and we wanted a drink. This place welcomed us in, and we had a great time. We did not eat here though we heard the food is good.

We held a private alumni event for The Singing Men of Ohio at The Side Bar last weekend and it was incredible. Not only was the staff so amazing to work with leading up to the event, but the price was unmatched and the space itself was perfect. The bartenders working that night were incredible as well. We fit about 150 people in the venue and it was completely private to our group. It provided for us an elevated event that was suitable for our alumni to interact with current members of the group. I have a feeling Side Bar will become really popular among students and alumni alike and be around for some time. All weekend, our alumni were commenting how much they loved the event at Sidebar and hoped we returned there. If you're looking for a great place for students and alumni to gather, check this place out. 15/10!

A little overcrowded which made it loud. It was really dark inside but excellent food and service.

The beer cheese and pretzels were great. Crème brûlée was too! Service was very slow—only one person working busy bar plus some tables and this person was not on fire. Really cold air came all the way back to the dining area when the front door was opened and was super uncomfortable. Maybe why the old Zoe had a vestibule.

The Nepali Momo may be my favorite dish i have had in a long time at a restaurant! The staff are wonderful and welcoming. Love the decor and chill atmosphere. Plus for dessert you have some delicious options in house and from Flour & Thyme. Highly recommend!!!
