Bacon jam was superb, but that mushroom ravioli stole the show. Will be going back to try everything on the menu!

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!

Really loved this place when they first opened, the last 2 times we’ve come in, food has taken over an hour. Tonight all we ordered was a charcuterie board that took over 60 minutes to get to us. The bartenders are still fantastic, the kitchen isn’t the same.

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.
