    chicken Caesar Wrap
    Lauren S.

    sidebar is a great spot to go with friends! the drinks are cheap and they have a bunch of board games for you to use. i've been a few times with friends and we always have a great time. we ordered the chicken Caesar wrap which definitely needed more dressing. the buffalo tenders were good but nothing to write home about. overall, it's a great spot for drinks with friends but wouldn't necessarily recommend for food

    What every good neighborhood bar should be. No scene, no expectations. If you want to take everything as it comes and come as you are for a casual night of fun -- this is your place. The magic of this place is that everyone will feel like a regular here. The bartenders make sure of that. Order a beer and saddle up to the bar to meet a new friend. Who knows, you may be sharing a pitcher or doing shots with them by the end of the night. Yes they have food, varieties of drinks, etc. Don't overthink it. Just go and have a great time!

    This is a cool bar with a lot of regulars clearly and everyone knows everyone. First time for us here as a friend who is a regular here invited us. You order your food and drinks at the bar and they bring the food to your table. They have karaoke which makes it fun and lively though beware sometimes some over enthusiastic people might come and take your mike and start karaoke-bombing you lol! Happened twice to us! Prices are very reasonable- hubs got a hot dog and fries and I got the grilled chicken dinner with salad instead of fries and the total came to like $31 with tax and tip for the food!! Hubs enjoyed his hot dog and the fries were hot and crispy really good! Grilled chicken was okay but it was a good portion size and I finished it all. We got cheap parking through SpotHero in a nearby garage for only $13 which was awesome especially for downtown.

    Veggie pizza

    Nice little dive bar! Was visiting from out of town and stopped in for a quick meal. There's tons of space, the main area when you walk in and a bar in the back. The main area is louder and more lively so if you're looking for a quieter spot to have a drink and watch the game I recommend the back area. The service was great, very attentive to our table and nothing took too long to come out! The fries and wings were good, and the pizza was tasty! My only complaint was that it was lacking in sauce, but we got the veggie pizza so I understand that could've made for a soggy situation. Very reasonably priced as well, for the food and a couple of drinks for 2 people the total was only around $50. Would stop here again if ever back in the area!

    This is one of my go to bars if I'm looking for a dive-y vibe in the middle of downtown Boston. The beer is always cold and you can get a pitcher for 14 dollars. The bartenders are always very friendly and treat you like a regular. My favorite spot is around the back on the other side of the bar where you can play some darts. If you get hungry while out no worries the food here is actually pretty good and I would recommend the Buffalo wings.

    This place has it all! Great food, great atmosphere, and unreal beer prices. The burger was perfectly cooked and the fries were too. There's no shortage of things to do there either, and whether it's video games, arcade games, or board games, Sidebar has them all

    Nice local bar and the owner really know how to run this place. The wings were amazing and crispy . Drinks was good and we had a blast coming here to watch the games. One of the best local bar around boston.

    This place is awesome for being in the hub of the city. It's a gem that most people haven't discovered. Good pub food at a very reasonable price and the Budweiser drafts you can't complain about. People are very friendly and the atmosphere is amazing with eclectic people who might wander in by chance.

    Mediocre food and service took a while. It was a fine meal but I probably won't be back.
