Great place for great cocktails. Order food from the nearby pizzeria or Mediterranean restaurant and some drinks. Chill on the patio or inside.Relaxed vibe, it's definitely better when you can sit outside; the patio is lovely and gives you access to the other restaurants easily.

Side Bar!!! Where do I start? Well, with amazing! My friend and I upon walking in until we left we were welcomed and felt so comfortable. The atmosphere was very chilled and relaxed. We felt instantly cool upon walking in with the lights low, wrap around bar, and tables with high back chairs. The staff showed us the menu and we both got old fashions. They were smooth, but strong and so good. I had just one, but I definitely wanted another one--so that just means I have to come back! Only recommendation is to have a small food menu with tapas, like a meat and cheese board or flat breads as the drinks are so good! I definitely recommend this spot for a relaxing drink and fun atmosphere!

We stumbled across this bar while waiting for our table at a nearby restaurant and I'm so glad we came in! The vibes are immaculate, the drinks are delicious, and the staff and bartenders are super nice. We'll definitely be returning.

My favorite bar in the triangle. Great atmosphere, awesome service and outstanding cocktails. Definitely a hidden gem. They're closed on Sundays though, and I'd like for the owners to implement some simple and salty appetizers.

Tom Collins was fantastic and wife had the Carolina Gold. Nice atmosphere and knowledgeable staff on a Tuesday

Very cool spot with a nice ambiance. Limited drink menu, but a mix of classic and created cocktails. Perfect for a weeknight happy hour, but it definitely gets crowded on weekends

Really tasty cocktails but be warned this is pretty much only good for groups of 2 as the only seating inside is at the bar counter or on counters by the window. Not to mention space is quite small inside. Some limited outdoor seating if you're lucky enough to snag a spot early (otherwise be ready to wait hours). Saw lots of people on dates here. Cocktails were tasty (tried the margarita which was strong and delicious).

Great cocktails and availability of outdoor seating. I would love if they have a few food options. Appreciate the opportunity to check out the menu using a QR code.

Sidebar is a go to cocktail bar in downtown Cary. Their drink selection is unique (their cosmopolitan is a must have) and the service is excellent. I have been with a friend a few different nights and it’s always an intimate night vibe and so much fun! The only downside is they don’t have a food menu. An addition of at least appetizers to snack on after a few drinks would give this place 5 stars! I would definitely recommend this place.
