Sidebar

I had an incredible experience at Side Bar, and I can confidently say it’s a must-visit in Bunkerhill! From the moment I walked in, the ambiance was perfectly welcoming with a cozy and stylish atmosphere. The staff was attentive and friendly, ensuring that we felt taken care of throughout our visit. The food was outstanding, and for $50 per person, you really get your money's worth. The menu offered a wonderful selection of dishes, all beautifully prepared and bursting with flavor. The drinks were equally impressive, with a great variety of cocktails that complemented the meal perfectly. Whether you're stopping in for a casual evening or hosting a special event, Side Bar offers an hidden dark experience that exceeds expectations. I can’t wait to return for another amazing meal! Highly recommend.

This is one of the best bars and restaurants in all of Houston! There is nothing else like it! The staff are some of the kindest people in the world, the customer service is top-tier, and the live music is always amazing. Live music happens Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. You might end up dancing! “What happens at Sidebar.” - Bill n’ Kim Band

Wow!! What a fun experience in an intimate, exceptionally designed space. We loved Sidebar! Amazing music, ambiance, food and cocktails. The wait staff was very attentive and entering with a code was super fun. I hate seeing bad reviews for a brand new place - it takes time for kinks to be worked out and I'm thrilled to see such a fun place opening in Memorial. Let's support them! The cover charge is $25 and well worth it. The experience was flawless!

Really enjoyed our little secluded night out! Music was good (although not sure it was worth the $25 pp in advance we paid to confirm our reservation) Old Fashioned with pecan was sublime! deviled crabs and steak were so good, 10/10 recommend for a dark/romatice night out! Want to go back to enjoy the restaurant itself. Credence/Sidebar is a total vibe!

Ummmm... 1 word to describe this place.... INCREDIBLE! Atmosphere, band, food, vibe was 🔥🔥🔥 Very intimate, romantic, I'm at a loss for words for tonight's experience

Great service, cool vibe, delicious food

Super cute bougie speakeasy in the memorial area. The live music was lovely and the drinks were perfect.

The jazz tonight was amazing, Ben Clifton at the piano and a fantastic, subtle drummer sitting up front. Food was great, drinks outstanding, service on point all night.

This speakeasy is a fantastic spot! The live jazz music is amazing, the drinks are top-notch, and the ambience is just perfect—cozy and sophisticated. The only downside is the cover fee and the per-person minimum, which might discourage some guests. It’s a small hiccup in an otherwise incredible experience, and if they eased up on that, this place would be an absolute favorite for regular visits!

Music was nice, atmosphere was nice, waitress was very nice, floor was sticky at the front door and needs to be mopped, tables were intimate. Expected better food from a highly rated chef and a mixologist at the bar who’s more creative with drinks.

Located on the side of Credence restaurant ( to the left). The valet was closed at 10:30pm and only offered to park our car for $15 and give us back the keys (a joke), we parked ourselves. Put the code into the door from their text message. Was greeted by the hostess. She took us to our table for just 2ppl. The live band was so loud it just ruins the ambiance for romance, felt like I was at the club. They took our food and drink order quickly and then took over 25 min to deliver the drinks and then food which was just onion dip was over 30min. Drinks and dip were amazing, service too slow and it wasn’t busy. Not worth the $25/ per person cover charge to have this kind of experience. We left after one round of drinks. Waste of total $50 cover charge plus our tab $65. Would not recommend.

Our experience at SideBar was incredibly disappointing. The customer service was practically nonexistent—our waiter took 20 minutes just to acknowledge us and take our drink order. The food was no better. The steak was charred and lacked flavor, the mashed potatoes were dry and overwhelmed with rosemary, the chicken liver mousse was ruined by an overpowering amount of dill, and the mushrooms were swimming in butter. Unfortunately, nothing about the meal or service was worth the visit. Definitely wouldn’t recommend. WOULD NOT RECOMMEND!!
