SideBar 215 East Chatham Street, Cary, NC 27511

"Dude, ya gotta go here. Cozy vibe offering well made + thought of craft cocktails. This spot seals the deal to end for an evening night cap. Similar to a speakeasy, just an overall good bar on the corner. The bartender, Richard was excited + knowledgeable. Highly recommend giving the Brûléed Greyhound + Long Story Short a go! See pictures for all the details + descriptions of cocktails. Don’t worry, they carry the classic beer + wine in their cabinets too. So you can’t go wrong with your good ole PBR if that’s what floats your boat."

"The bartender was very knowledgeable and made the drinks perfectly. I definitely recommend going with friends or the atmosphere is also really nice for date night with a special person."

"Not just one of the very best cocktail bars in Cary, hands down one of the best anywhere in the Triangle. Everything you want from a neighborhood bar, or a world class cocktail bar, both rolled into one. Jazz era vibe meets modern classy in a laid back, low key, comfortable space."

"Prior to dinner we wanted a quick cocktail. We had been meaning to go here, but needed an excuse to be in Cary. The night finally came, we had dinner reservations just next door. Upon entry, we were greeted by a nice hostess. Sat at the bar. Ordered some staples, Manhattan and Old Fashioned. Both were very delicious. The prices here are par for the course $9-$13. But there was some cheap beer and good beer and liquor combos. Good amount of bartenders, I saw 6 for a 70% full bar, pretty good. I’d go back for sure."

"It’s so great to see places open back up. The SideBar is the best place in downtown Cary for professionally curated cocktails. From the simple dirty martini to more advanced creations. Top shelf and fresh ingredients and full selection of libations. If you are new to the area remember street parking and the parking lot near the bar can be difficult. Plan on using one of the nearby city lots and its a pleasurable walk of one or two blocks"
