I can't really tell if it's supposed to be a pool hall, an arcade, a sports bar, etc. It feels like it takes a little bit of all those things, but stops short of being any of those things. I'm also not really impressed with their selection of drinks, especially considering the nearby bars that it competes with. All-in-all, I don't hate Slate, but I just can't really find a good reason to go there.

The wine selection is impressive and they have great cocktails, typically seasonal rotating options as well. I enjoyed the caviar and chips option, flatbread pizza, and brussels.

The drawback to this location is parking can be difficult, so plan accordingly for your arrival time in case you have to search for street parking.

It's next to Bar Argon, but for some reason Argon was dead and Sidelines was busy, but not too busy. Both clubs have the same owner. Crowd ranged in age from 20s to much older. Lively atmosphere, but not so loud you can't talk without yelling. There was good diversity. They don't serve food, but there is a restaurant 2 doors down. You can get carry-out and eat in the bar. We were drinking Old Fashioneds and Cosmos, which were $9 each. There's a smoking area in front of the building. It was a good place to have a quick smoke and talk.

Before leaving i had to ask the bartender for her name because of how amazing she was. I wrote it o my hand so i wouldn't forget. Thanks Cammy! You were amazing. (I probably spelled that wrong ) She took care of us, laughed with us, and kept the drinks coming. She really turned an ordinary and boring Tuesday into one of my best nights in this city. The music was a great mix of old school millennial classics such as T-Pain and even Eminem. But also played new songs. The place was kind of empty but that was expected. There were about 20-25 people there all together. Everyone was so nice and having a good time. There's pool tables, beer pong tables, and different areas to hang out. We stayed until 2am and the security even made sure to wish us a safe ride home. Everyone was welcoming and attentive. I've never had much interest in coming here before but now, I'm excited to come back!

They do have games such as two ping pong tables, dart board, jenga, cornhole and various other little games. We only stayed for about an hour or so. We arrived around 8:30 pm, which was early and a bit dead, but we had another place in mind, which is why we left. I feel like after 10 pm, it does get livelier and would be a good time if we ended up staying. I will definitely come back and see how it is later in the night. The bartenders were nice, and we had no problems with the bouncer at all.

It is not fake, so we said we would call the police because we need the ID back and he was refusing to return it. He walked away scanned it at the bar, came back and admitted that yes, it is real but that he still could not let us in. Fair enough, they have a right to refuse service. Asked for ID back, bouncer accused me of touching him and wanting to fight. That also was not true and a separate patron nearby even said "he isn't touching you, or raising his voice". Bouncer tried goading me into doing something stupid a couple more times then finally relented and gave the ID back. Wish I could give a more fair review to this place, but when you have a bouncer who doesn't know how to do his job and starts freaking out on patrons for no reason it's rather difficult to ever get an idea about the joint.
