This is my favorite place on the planet. If you’ve never been, you’re missing out. If you HAVE been, you know the vibe. Friendly bartenders, fairly priced drinks, SLUSHIES, theme nights, great music, and an incredible, well-maintained venue.

Visited this past weekend while I was in Chicago. Thoroughly enjoyed Eurovision 2022. Offered a great atmosphere and the staff was more than exceptional, Zach was amazing!!!

I have always had an amazing experience here. Everything from the music to the people and atmosphere are great. It’s a place where people of all walks of life can come together, be who they are, and feel accepted while everyone has a good time. The bar is always staffed well and everyone is super kind. Huge shout out to the owner because you’ve created a wonderful environment that brings people back and we can all be our true authentic selfs. Drinks are priced well, music is always fire, and the staff is always kind. Will definitely be back

Sidetrack is a contagious alternative discothèque experience. Extremely diversified and nonintrusive. Cheap booze and good music. Polite doorman, bartender with access to several rooms. Sunday had a highly mixed ratio of men and women of all genders, beliefs and cultures. I strongly recommend this location for a night of dancing. On the whole, the crowd was friendly, funny and fabulous. A perfect spot to break the ice.

Our monthly Dog Day is the first Saturday of each month from 1-5pm.

Is this a lesbian bar as well or just a gay men bar?

Analicia “Smiley” Remsik | Aug 5, 2019
Christopher Hongosh | Aug 6, 2019

It's all-inclusive. If you're suggesting that by going there 98% if the women you find there will be lesbian, no. I think most women there are with their gay male friends.

What’s the age restriction for entry??

Kimberly Velazquez | Aug 5, 2019
Michael Hemmann | Aug 6, 2019

Yeah, it's a bar, so 21 and up.
