This is the coolest bar I've ever been too, beer is cheap so that's always good, the service is amazing, and I got a plain burger that tops most others i've had. I did not know when coming to georgia that you can smoke cigarettes inside so that was a huge plus, nicotine vending machine was sick. Absolutely recommend to anyone looking for a good time. read more

Sidelines Sports Grille - Badass cigarette vending machine - Sports Bars Near Me - Kennesaw, Georgia

Came here looking for quarter table challenges but they do table rentals instead. Not sure how they shoot but they do look a little rough. Saw people sitting on tables & had drinks on the sides of them as well. Seems like a pretty cool joint otherwise. They did have a live band setting up if that's your thing. The waitress/bartender approached us & explained the tables when we asked. read more

A lot has changed here over the years. We have been stopping by here for 20 years! We love the staff and Carlos. We also miss the old crew and people that use to hang out here. So many new faces. The food and drinks are amazing. LIVE music and karaoke! read more

Manager Quay is awesome. She encouraged us to come back. We've been here 3 times in a weeks time.

Love the atmosphere and the music! Drinks are worth the money and they have pool tables. We went on a Thursday night and they had live music playing, lots of different acts for an open jam. read more

Prompt service, cold beer, lots of TVs for catching big games. Food was fairly good, at least a cut above typical bar food.

A great place ... really enjoyed my Saturday nite with my friends .... DJ WAS GREAT ... cold beers ... good food .. great service ... STRONGLY RECOMMENDED ... Will be there more often ... new ownership looking good ... read more

My favorite local bar is now under new ownership and the vibe is great. Drinks are priced at a very reasonable price. Music is amazing they are hip hop nights Thursday through Saturday. They also offer karaoke and have pool tables, darts, and poker. They also serve hookah which is also at a great price point. The bartenders are super attentive and it's always a fun vibe. read more

The hip hop music is Terrible. LOUD obnoxious music you can't even talk to people and have conversations which is what a bar is for. The lighting is trashy strip club vibe. cigarette smoke reeks up the whole place. Every breath you take in there smells like nasty cigarette smoke. read more

We are not smokers and this is a smokers bar. Took four minutes for the server to notice us. Way too long for how empty the place was. Food was okay, not great. My country fried steak was way overcooked and stiff. When I mentioned it to the server, she casually dropped the F-bomb telling us the cook was new and did that a lot. We've been to several locations of Sidelines and this was by far the worst. read more

Third time coming here and they are again closed. The new owners dont understand "trust". We wont ever come back. Its 630pm on Tuesday.

Since a change in ownership, everything about this place has gone off a Cliff. It used to be on an NFL Sunday- standing room only. Today there weren't even a dozen customers at the bar. Food quality is awful when it used to be my favorite go-to for bar food. I had French fries and chili. The fries were skinny and the longest was only an inch and a half long. The chili was made with baked beans that tasted like the chef spilled the sugar in them. I used to work in the area and ate here every day. This was likely my last visit. read more

I visited Sidelines last night (Saturday) and it was my first visit since it reopened. I was really impressed, the place looked and felt more open, and inviting, there is a number of big screens TVs and a couple of large projections. I was equally impressed with the poker tables and took the opportunity to play a little poker. For those of you who like poker, this is a must for you, there is a dedicated server just for the players. Also impressive were their drink prices, you will find them among the best in the area. The new owner and manager introduced themselves, and they are open to customer feedback. If you have yet to go to the new Sidelines, stop by, you will be impressed. read more

Tried the wings and they were great! Staff and owner very nice. Great place to hang out. They go out of their way to offer great hospitality. I recently moved from Florida where hospitality in the service industry was always instilled into all workers. The state depends on it's tourism as does the hospitality industry. I have tried several places and feel like I finally landed a place that is safe, fun, and great food. read more

Food pretty mediocre and small, service is nice but slow, and overly expensive food for its size. Go over to wing factory in Cumberland for better service and food. read more

Went back here just this past Saturday. Met the owner when we first came in. He was very friendly explaining this was one of the few places left where one could smoke if they wanted. The server was most of the reason for the low score. Very apathetic. Clear she didn't not want to be there and wasn't trying to hide that fact. She delivered drinks holding them at the top where your lips might go. Someone in our party asked for extra sauce and she delivered them by tossing them on the table. She wasn't really rude but just not friendly even though we were trying to be. I ordered a veggie burger and it was in 2 tortillas instead of a bun which was fine with me. Was overcooked. Got cole slaw and pasta salad with it. Cole slaw was unique and pretty tasty. Pasta "salad" was just rotini with an Italian type dressing on it and very small serving. I am sure this is better for night life not lunch! read more

Sidelines Sports Grille - Hey girl, you hungry? I love horses. Butterstuff. Butternuts. - Sports Bars Near Me - Kennesaw, Georgia

Went in last night for a few drinks and I gotta say that the girl behind the bar Ashlee killed it. 10/10 would return again.

Came here one day to watch a Braves game and that particular day they was playing poker for bar cash. They let me in the game everyone was cool, this a place where the regulars come so I didn't know what to expect, but I must say I had a blast great drink specials and the people was very helpful. I didn't win the but I had a blast with people like Gabby and John. Definitely a place I will come back to read more

Omg...the bartender is a bitch. The bar is almost empty and the older dark haired bartender that thinks she is hot is very rude, ignores us, and is disrespectful to our friends. Bottom line, bad service equals me not stepping back into this place. read more

Great bar food and awesome bartenders and waitresses. Smoking is allowed but doesn't bother me as I am a smoker. Love bands on some nights, bingo and trivia as well. read more

I'm just not real sure about this place.. we got there when it opened... met the owner, who was super nice guy... waitress comes over an takes order. There's 4 of us... brings our drinks back to table one at a time.. lol for the record, she got my drink wrong.. brought our food to table the same way... 1 at a time.. lol I'm just guessing that she is normally a bar/drink waitress.. she was nice enough but not friendly at all..lol food is pretty good but a bit overpriced.. I got the French dip sandwich.. it was excellent.... I can get an equally as good French dip at gustons for $1 less an twice the size tho.. the place in general looks like it's probably a lot of fun at night... TVs everywhere... and yes, it's still one of the few places where you can actually smoke inside so if your not a smoker, you may wanna go elsewhere.. read more

Great place staff was great the food was really good try the sweet heat chilli bowl it's great they are underrated and enjoy

Great service tonight by a cute female blonde server - wish I would have written down her name she served us plenty of drinks and some food and was also trying to locate trivia machines. She was awesome! I loved the music and the band and the fact that good old fashioned quarter arcade tables are available to play. My only complaint would be that it said non-smoking online and people were smoking inside - I hope that is able to be remedied! Great place affordable drinks and food and fun atmosphere!!! read more

Sorry Carlos... Been coming here for 20 years mostly for sports and cold cola... decided to get a to go order... Philly Cheese Steak to go. Got literally 12 tater tots and 60 % mushrooms 40% meat for$9... not impressed at all. read more

No, no, no, no, no. Came here with some friends on a Thursday night for trivia. I should have known what kind of night this was going to be when I walked in and was not greeted by anyone. I was, however, welcomed by the overpowering aroma of cigarette smoke. After wandering around for a couple of minutes to see that no one else in my party had arrived yet, I made my way back to the front. Oh, one thing. There is weird horse thing near the front door. Is he the host? Where the f*%# am I?!? Someone eventually asked if I needed anything, but didn't seem overly concerned with my hanging out awkwardly at the entrance. I made the executive decision to seat myself at one of the available booths until everyone else arrived. Note - the Team Trivia website says that trivia here starts at 8:30. The Sidelines website says it starts at 8:45. Be prepared for it to actually start closer to 9. Once everyone else arrived, we ordered a few drinks and a couple of us ordered food as well. As I hadn't had dinner yet, I went with the chicken quesadilla. Pretty easy, right? Apparently not. Chewy, greasy, and generally unpleasant. How do you mess up a quesadilla that badly? The lack of consistent service didn't make the situation any better. The waitress always seemed to be hovering around when no one needed anything, but as soon as I needed a refill or my check, she was nowhere to be found. No joke, I think she disappeared for about 20 minutes between dropping off our checks and coming back to pick them up. The one good thing I can recall - $5 for a 32 oz. Sweetwater Festive Ale. But back to reality. Guys - this place is bad. Even for Kennesaw. And that's saying something. read more

This is your standard run of the mill sports bar. Apparently, on Friday nights, they have a live band. If you want to actually converse with anyone in your group then avoid this place on Friday nights unless you are willing and able to sit outside. Last night (6/25) we were here and the band was loud and to make matters worse they werent all that good. I ended up going outside after my ears couldnt take the caterwauling any longer. I had ordered food and after going back inside to check after 45 minutes it still hadnt arrived so I spent the rest of the night standing outside talking to people in my group who also came outside for the respite from the god awful racket going on inside. When 3/5's of your party comes outside due to the loud music, you know that its way too loud. When its off key, cruddy music amplified to 11, its *definitely* too loud. I would prefer Summits or something other than this place but it seems to be a favorite of a few of the group. Not really sure why though. read more

I love the staff here and in my opinion, best burger in Kennesaw. The Friday night bands are awesome and every night there's something fun happening. read more

Decent spot. Just be sure you don't mind smoke. The place allows smoking and it's pretty thick. Would probably be a cool place to watch a game read more

Walked into a wall of smoke. How on earth can anyone be okay with that? I was thrilled to come here and get wings and I came with my girlfriend and two young kids and this is definitely not a place to bring kids... smfh. Guess I gotta drive 15 miles to the sidelines in Woodstock. How inconvenient. read more

If indoor smoking is your thing, this is the place. I walked in, couldn't stand the smell and walked out. 2 stars because the food might be magnificent, but I'll never know. read more

This is my favorite place in Kennesaw. Their drinks are well priced and their burgers are great. I'm used to the Athens style frat bars filled with pop music and dramatically drunk college kids, and thought I just hated bars. Boy was I wrong! Turns out my favorite kind of bar is the type filled with smoke with stupid mid-2000s rock (think Staind). The smoke smell is THICK, but not so bad that it ever triggered my asthma. I definitely had to shower every time I got home from Sidelines, though. The servers were always quick and the bartenders were great, too. I learned to play poker at their poker nights, and the people were generally really nice to a young female with no experience. Some days seemed to have friendlier individuals- I would go Thursdays instead of Sundays). Team trivia is the worst kind of trivia but I still enjoyed it, I guess. Like I said, this is my favorite bar/sports bar in town and I would regularly drive 20-30 minutes to come here and play poker. 10/10 would recommend. read more

This is by far the worst restaurant I have been to due to the service the servers give the customers. I am a server myself and know to the extent of how terrible the women are here. We sat at a table for 8 mins before anyone came to greet us, when she came to the table "has anyone helped you, no okay so what would would like to drink"....greeting a table means saying your name and welcoming me. Sever throws drinks and plates down on tables. Only reason I can give this place 2 stars is for the food. Don't come here if you wanna be treated well and get your money worth. As a server she doesn't even deserve 10% of my tip. read more

Everyone sitting around smoking and playing cards. That is not a sports bar! WTF is the matter with you? I can't believe places still allow smoking in this day and age. Walking in all you can see is a cloud of smoke. I'm not kidding, there is a cloud of smoke and that is the first thing you notice! About face, U-turn, get the heck out of here. read more

I went there last night with a friend. The atmosphere is definitely sports bar, and they were playing trivia. The trivia questions seemed pretty challenging. But overall it was a good experience, low key bar. And the drinks were CHEAP!! Ashleigh was our server and was a doll read more

Boring No interest in going there ever again no dance floor no DJ. Do not recommend this place for anybody

I visited there last night. If you are of color you may NOT want to go here. I ordered drinks and an appetizer. The waitress was nice but the appetizer took over 40 minutes. What crazy is that everyone that came in AFTER us got their appetizers and their dinners. After being there for over one hour and hungry.... I asked the waitress for our check and our slow food to go. All I got was a sorry..... REALLY.... WOW.... read more
