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.

"Come for the karaoke, stay because you finally figured out how to get in."…read more Getting into this place is half the adventure -- there's a back parking lot and a little window where someone might appear to check your ID and buzz you in. If no one's there, you'll question every life choice that led you to this mysterious door. Once inside, though, it's a solid local hang. Karaoke night had a good vibe, Ricardo behind the bar was friendly (and seemed new but game), and the crowd leaned welcoming and ready to sing their hearts out. Drink and shot prices were a tad high, but the patio out front is great for a smoke, chat, or regrouping after your performance. I played some pool and had fun talking and chatting with the locals! All in all, it's got personality -- like that friend who's a little unpredictable but always fun once you're in.

Sammy's is the kind of place you go to when you just want to get a nice cold beer after a hard days work, no questions asked, no pretenses, get away from reality for a bit, maybe make a new friend or two or just disappear into the background, either way, come as you are, as you won't find any judgment here. Think Cheers, Paddy's, Mode's Tavern or even my personal favorite the one and only Regal Beagle, and that is what you get with Sammy's. No drama, no frills, no nonsense. What more can you want? Well, food would be nice, but if they had that, I would probably sleep there and put them in my will, so probably water that they don't have food. Next time you are in the area, why not stop in for a beer or two or maybe ask them to make you something original, as you just might get sucked if you aren't careful, and that wouldn't be a bad thing.

This place blue my mind…read more I was visiting my best friend while in town for a conference on amusement ride standards. We had a reservation for Blue Door for Saturday night, and it was amazing. Now while she was vaguely aware of their "spirited kingdom" menu, I had NO CLUE. It was the best surprise! They have such a cool menu with a full theme park map containing 4 lands with 4 cocktails each. The cocktails all match the type of ride they are, it's honestly such a cool idea, and it was so well done. I loved the art. I will say, I was skeptical that all of their drinks would actually work and worried that they'd be too caught up in the theme to make results but . . . Oh my goodness I was so impressed by the drinks here. I think a lot of bars these days can get so caught up in trying to be unique that their drinks become nearly undrinkable. This place definitely doesn't suffer there. They brought us an aperitif when we came in, but unfortunately I have a blueberry allergy so we skipped that. We had 4 drinks between the 2 of us and they were all awesome. I ordered the star breaker and the green dragon (what can I say, I love gin and a good coaster), and they were both balanced and tasty. My friend got the diablo and the neon shift, and they were both fantastic as well! The neon shift was served with a black light too which was super cute. The one drink I have to call out specifically is the green dragon. There was something about this drink that was so unique, I have genuinely never had anything like it but I would order it a thousand times over. It's so good. It keeps me up at night. It haunts my every bar order. I will be writing home about it. What else can I say about this place - the service was great, the atmosphere was fun, and the DJ was amazing. I thought "wow this guy really likes sax covers" only to look over and see him PLAYING HIS SAXOPHONE LIVE?? Iconic. This place was perfect and I wouldn't change a thing about it. The spirited kingdom menu will only be around for 6 months according to the waitress, so definitely catch it while it's there! If I'd heard about it sooner, I would've maybe descended upon them with 200+ theme park engineers in town for the conference (maybe it's a good thing I didn't know they were there until after it was over), but instead I will just say DO YOURSELF A FAVOR AND MAKE YOUR RESERVATION NOW

The menu this time is theme park theme... again, a fun concept but not well executed. Pretty overwhelming, especially with the bartenders explaining the menu to us twice with the same spiel there is too much to look at it makes it difficult to pay attention to the drinks. I really did not love my drink (starbreaker?) you could only taste the lychee The bartenders not a vibe, it was not that comfortable to sit at the bar. They now serve food, hotdogs... which do NOT match the vibe at all, so that was interesting that their only food (other than the free popcorn) is not hot dogs..
