The drinks are the way I like them, booze with some booze and then a little herb. Talk to the bartender and get them to make something up for you. Try the truffled snacks you won't be disappointed.
Alexandra AntzoulatosOctober 3, 2014This is a great place to grab a drink and listen to comedy!! Great people come in and it's very dive bar like. They also pour the drinks strong as hell so you won't be disappointed!!
Cecily AngelaFebruary 25, 2014Family-Style Fried Chicken dinner: $12.00. Delicious Pre-Fix menu. Our server sucked though. Will definitely return.
Washingtonian MagazineNovember 23, 2011Sidebar chef Aaron Covert curates the constantly changing menu—it might include Amish chicken rendered into KFC-style bites or a slider topped with a quail egg and hunk of pork belly.
AskMenApril 12, 2010The bar, with its black walls and dimly lit chandeliers, is sort of bordello chic. It’ll serve up cocktails, both classics & modern twists on classics, as well as a killer list of beers.
FiOS 50November 28, 2011Jackie's Sidebar is one of the best watering holes in the area and makes for an ideal neighborhood bar in Silver Spring. The bar-eats menu is not to be missed, btw...
LaDonna R.April 4, 2014Don't ask for ginger ale or a soda they don't carry sodas they make their own soft drinks. Try the ginger beer.
Tracy IsaacJuly 6, 2015Great happy hour spot. Great wings, imaginative drink list, and an attentive staff.
ChrisJuly 20, 2013This tip is for the mgmt: never let your beer go out of stock. It's embarrassing for all involved to go through 5+ selections till we have to settle for the Nattie Bo.
Curtis SloanJanuary 1, 2013Try the jalapeño poppers. Hot, but the best I've had. Deviled eggs, too - and I'm nota Deviled egg person.
MicahJuly 6, 2013The Tweed Jacket was the best. If you'd like to grow more hair on your balls have the "The pains of being unpure"...... Holy shit.- AskMenMay 14, 2010Tiffany Short’s leaving D.C. & heading back to Texas, but not before one last turn at the bar. She’ll be mixing farewell cocktails tonight through Sat at the Sidebar. Go toast her future.
Nyasha CMay 31, 2013Not that exciting food-wise. Go here if you're in Silver Spring and want to taste drinks you'll probably never have anywhere else. The staff is a little random too...
Mercy CMay 31, 2013The drinks are good but the food is basic. You'd actually get better tasting and more food at a chain restaurant like ruby tuesday for the price.
Long list of fancy/good cocktails, $6 from 5-7 PM Tues-Sat.
Don't forget to pick out a record from the vinyl collection.
Melanie DeniseMarch 13, 2013Don't get the happy hour tacos with the skirt steak. They're terrible and very plain.
Monticello YammaMarch 22, 2014The service is crap. Go somewhere the bar tender can handle 3 people at a time.
James GoldwasserDecember 20, 2011Any bar that charges you money to use their pool table sucks. NOTE: This bar does not suck.
