What People Are Saying About Sidetrack

The Scene
The polished metal facade gives way to a dark, warm interior lit by wall sconces and video screens. There's a room here for every mood, from the dimly lit front and back areas to the sunny, loft-like "glass bar" and rooftop deck. Crowds of casually dressed professional men in their late 20s and early 30s pack the place most nights.

The Draw
Frozen, slushy drinks like the Ketel One krush taste like Kool-Aid, but pack a serious punch. Videos play on more than 30 video monitors scattered around the bar, from showtunes and old-school disco classics to the latest dance hits, with comedy clips cleverly interspersed throughout.

huge , always popular bar that caters to the boystown crowd and their female friends. Fun frozen drinks that actually taste good, and a multi floored atmosphere to please all different types, love the rooftop in the summers

Sidetrack has really grown up. The bar is huge nowadays and many of the bartenders have been there for what seems like forever. For good reason...they're probably the friendliest group of bartenders at any gay bar in America of this size. The drinks are poured right too. The bar is a stand-and-model type but with the right friends can be quite fun. For me, it's a walk down memory lane, as I get to see the same old acquaintances from my days in Chicago as I did when I lived there. Sidetrack has the right formula and hopefully will for a long time to come.
