Sidebar Grille

I went here for a midday work lunch with some coworkers. The food was great! I really enjoyed the bison burger served on Texas Toast with some veggies on the side.

In my opinion, it's a great spot for quick group lunches in the loop.

Tonight was such an amazing time and it was all thanks to good food, food company and an amazing server by the name of Danielle. She was super helpful and attentive despite being the ONLY server in a restaurant full of 6 tables plus a work/ business event. She was helpful in being up front with the daily specials and providing suggestions. She was patient even though he sat there taking up space and rambling on talking.
The food was good. I had the boneless wings with the sauce on the side. Super crunchy and cooked to perfection. Real meat and not too greasy or too much breading. The portion size for $6 (happy hour) was amazing. Even for $10 it would be worth it.
The atmosphere was relaxing, chill. Definitely an after work need a drink type vibe. This could be for a date, meet with your professor or watch the game type of place.

Who knew a chicken avocado sandwich could be so amazing ! Absolutely LOVE this sandwhich!! I typically opt for a salad but the bun on this sandwich is soo good!!

Also make sure you get the kale salad as your side, even if you're not a fan of kale. I typically am not, but this kale salad is full of flavor, with amazing croutons.

Yum I could eat this every day for lunch.
Side note, they only have this chicken sandwhich on the lunch menu.

I came here with a good friend after work for happy hour. We made RSVP so, we were seated immediately when we arrived. Comfortable seating area with booths and high tables/chairs. The vibe was nice and chill. Definitely a nice place to come after work to unwind and enjoy a drink and appetizers. Nice music playing to set the mood. Mature crowd. Nice after work kick back bar to enjoy your evening. Interior décor chic and elegant. I was impressed with the service. Our server was very nice and made sure to keep checking in with us. Super Friendly. We ordered the boneless buffalo wings ($6.00 Happy Hour) and a basket of fries. I also ordered the traditional mule drink. Everything was good. I can't wait to come back for another happy hour outing and update my review. Keep you posted.

I went here on a whim, and was happily satisfied. Service is super nice, and the location happens to be very clean! There are more vegan options than I expected and overall everyone I've gone with seems to be satisfied with the food

I will come back here again a second time to see how I feel about it then, but I'm optimistic!

The best boneless wings I have tasted thus far. The bbq and buffalo( my fav) is amazing. It comes with ranch or bleu (my fav again) and the traído al celery and carrot sticks. I went on a Wednesday when they were on sale and you get a pretty good amount, so it's worth it on a regular day. The ambiance was really good. If you want to catch up with friends, sit at the bar and watch tv, or have a happy hour meet and greet with co workers it works out. The cinnamon apple Jameson short was really good, very smooth. They actually infuse it there as well. The server was amazing! Very nice energy, knowledgeable, and great upbeat personality.

A decent spot for a quick lunch. Place is modern, service is great and the food is good. The place on a Thursday right at noon wasn't ridiculously packed so it was comfortable. I decided to have the grilled chicken sandwich today and it was good. A really decent amount of avocado . One thing I noticed were the salads! They look really good and are huge. I definitely have to try that out next time.

Happy hour here is pretty good. Been here for several retirement parties and a Christmas party. It has a good vibe.

I ride the bus past this place nearly every weekday. Finally, wandering around on a Friday night, we stopped in.

Great place! Nice cocktail list, and a large bar area full of friendly, chatty patrons. Staff was great, and the cocktails were delicious.

Unpretentious, yet stylish. We didn't have food, but what we spotted other people with, everything looked really great.

I'd come back!

I work across the street so I frequent Sidebar for both lunch and happy hour. The food is actually pretty great. This is a 4 Corners Group project, and it's pretty good. The prices are comparable to loop prices, the food is good (specifically like the BBQ chicken quesadilla and the southwest salad), and the service is great, despite the entire place being packed at lunch or packed at happy hour - the food is always consistent and the wait times aren't long, which is basically the best you can hope for in a loop bar/restaurant.

Everyday I passed this bar I saw a lot people eating and drinking here. Every time I smelled something Taste good when I passed its side door! I said to myself it must be a very good bar. I told my BF there is a very good bar in the first floor of my law firm and we should definitely try!
One day Before Christmas Day, I got a chance and I tried this! It's as good as I imagine!
