Brightside hosted our wedding after party and it was an absolute stellar place for a private event! Dex, Rachel, and Daisy made the night easy with zero-stress, and tons of fun! They were organized and ready for our huge group. We got to play our own music and our guests loved the late night wings and french fry bar! I would recommend Brightside to anyone looking for a late night private event! We packed the upstairs bar and had a wonderful time. Can’t thank the team enough...

This is bar is great, foods, services and atmosphere, and bartenders are polite and respectful with costumers, so I have questions about there is any single people can meet and approach single people for dating?
September 2025
Daisy was an absolute gem. Started my journey in mixology. I hope one day I retire as a beach bum and every time I come into brightside I'm reminded of my destiny.

Amazing lighting, music, staff, and drinks are wonderful? Wow! What a treasure!
