    One of the few places I can find Bud draft in town. Not too busy or crowed, so it's a great place to grab a beer & food after work. They close VERY early, I'd make it your 1st stop if bar hopping

    The hospitality is wonderful at Sidebar but size did matter to some patrons. "I've never seen chicken wings so small," and, "I feel like a giant eating these!" Read more

    Classic dive bar. Good spot to watch sports & guzzle some beers. Colorful bar regulars. Don't order the food. Not worth it.
