What a stellar spot! Came here for brunch from DC. The staff is so welcoming, also got us a dog bowl with out even asking for one. The breakfast burger was great, the build your own breakfast sandwich is the way to go though. Please make sure to end it with the cinnamon bun!!

We've been going here for years and have never had a bad experience! The food is delicious, the staff are friendly, drinks are great, and everything is reasonably priced. The atmosphere is fun and lively in the evenings.
In an area full of great food, Sidebar serves truly the bare minimum in quality. Not only was the charcuterie board clearly store bought, but it also took 40 minutes to get one drink and CHEESE AND CRACKERS. They seem drastically understaffed so the wait can be excused but during those 40 minutes not a single person came to check on us

I hate that I have to even give this place one star. 0/5. Server walked by multiple times and did not take orders, acknowledge our table, and we weren't even offered a menu. Will never be back.

My recent experience at SideBar was fantastic. The sweet potato fries were crispy and flavorful, and the crab cake was deliciously seasoned. The cozy atmosphere made it a perfect spot for a relaxed meal.

More of a pub and hangout, not a place if you want a sit-down diner.Burger and Fries were good. Staff kept open and closing the outside side door (and occasionally leaving it open - only 50 degrees out at the time)....

I previously ate here last year and was looking forward to coming back. Disappointed this time. We ordered an appetizer, a burger medium and the fish sandwich. Our meals came out with no appetizer. The person bringing our food checked and said our app went to another table. Honestly I think they totally forgot to place the order. The burger was dry and well done. The best part of the meal was the fries. Our server never checked on us or refilled our water or drinks. She gave us our check and we waited 10 minutes but never saw our server again. Another server saw us waiting and picked the check up and brought it back. Service was horrible and food was Disappointing. I may give them another try hopefully it was just an off day.

Great neighborly bar/restaurant w/cozy atmosphere plus great selection of food & drinks. Bartenders and servers are attentive and provide good customer experience. My experience at the bar has always been pleasant; other patrons are cool there as well. I highly recommend ordering the 'cheese board' with salami aka charcuterie. Good place to unwind and/or catch up with friends. It's not loud and there's always a seat.

I stumbled across SideBar Coffee this morning - - it's a tiny little coffee shop on South King Street in Old Town Leesburg, VA. I ordered a cold brew with a splash of Half n' Half. A lot of places will make a cold brew that is strong but does not taste great - or they'll make one that tastes great - but is not very strong. SideBar nails it on both counts - their cold brew is strong - gets the ole neurons firing; and it tastes great! It's a small place - a very limited amount of seating inside (no seating outside). The building is very old - lots of old, exposed brick gives the place a nice ambiance. Service was good. They do not currently accept Apple Pay. When I inquired as to why they do not support it - I was told their POS is to old. It's time for an upgrade! #SideBarCoffee
Cool atmosphere in the bar upstairs. The picture for this place should be a headshot of that long-haired bartender who looks like Joseph Gorden Levitt that works there... instead of the uh hot-wing. He made me a really nice virgin cocktail. I like the outdoor patio seating space too. So pretty and magical-feeling on a summer night... oo la la!

I had been wanting to try Side bar for awhile now so my husband and I decided to go for Valentine's Day. We were initially going to order from their normal menu until we saw the amazing Valentine's Day Pre-Fix menu they were having. Making a reservation with the host was easy. I absolutely adored the atmosphere. It took about 15 minutes for our cocktails to arrive. It took about 20 minutes for each course to arrive. We were blow away by how delocious each course was. We arrived at 4:30 and left around 6. The prefix menu was an incredible deal. $100-per couple. It included 2 craft cocktails, 2 entrées, 1 appetizer, & 1 Dessert.All in all it was a great night with delicious food. We will definitely be back to try out their regular menu. The chef really knows what he's doing!

The atmosphere and location are great! I really liked that we could eat dinner and listen to music and then head upstairs for the cozy, cool cocktail bar.

Loud dining room, slow service. My business partner ordered a salad with no protein, and it was delivered with chicken. The server apologized and said he gave him the wrong salad. The chicken was comped.Positive: Tasty crab cake sandwich!

Absolutely delicious and great service!! And lots of gluten and dairy free options for people like me, with food allergies.
