Side Bar

Awesome Bar. Great crowd! Great drink specials and even better vibe. You can find pretty much any type of person and any type of group in there. Loved it!

Let’s call this a guilty pleasure. A very rare, very guilty pleasure. I’d recommend a pre-​drink if you’re not a college freshmen to help warm you to the frat bar feel… although, with some of their drink specials, it may be cheaper to drink there. Friendly bartenders, cheap drinks, and a jukebox so you can overthrow the typical pop-​rap-​ear-​torture. It can get pretty smoky in the main area, so I normally try to move upstairs for a game of darts or two. It’s a lot quieter up there and more forgiving of my too-​old-​for-​fry-​street dipshittery.

Side bar is located next to The Garage on Fry and can be a pretty relaxed type of place if it isn’t jam packed. The downstairs area is pretty narrow with seating at booths and at the bar. What I like about Side Bar is the little upstairs room. There are two dart boards and a nice view of the street. The bartenders are friendly and the game is always on. $ 3 double margaritas and $ 4 punch everyday. $ 5 minimum on all cards.

Love the bartenders!!! Dave & Blake!

Side Bar really doesn’t have much going for it. Seating is limited to the bar and about six booths, music is whatever is on the manager’s iPod, and the drinks are weak. Service is quick and attentive but not very knowledgeable on anything besides your very basic wells/​calls and shots. But speaking of wells…
Fifty cent wells Thursday night from 9−11pm! This is what keeps me coming back every week, and I recommend you start your night off here. Bring cash, though. If you’re paying with a card there’s a $ 5 minimum. Personally I don’t think I should be knocking back ten drinks in two hours (or that I want to stick around that long) so I scrounge through couch cushions and car seats beforehand. Yes, I’m the annoying girl with the coin purse paying for her drinks with nickels and dimes. Haha.
Thursday nights they also have $ 1 jello shots and $ 2 Everclear punch if that’s your thing.

good bar and decet prices, kinda small, but there are barely any hippies and weirdos who generally spend their time at lous or coolbeans. the less dudes with long hair past their shoulders with charlie manson beards the better

the only reason i give this place 3 stars is the riciculously cheap drinks
tue-​sat from 9 – 11. 50 cent wells people. you cant beat em. they charge an extra 25 cents if your a vodka and cranberry kinda girl like myself, but still ridiculously cheap, even for denton.
the crowd is not exactly my type of people and business seems to really pick up at eleven (when the special ends??) and its usually dudebros and soriorty chicks in next to nothing and being that the place is tiny i would sip up on the cheap drinks and move to your next bar on fry.
