This place is really great for a nice bite to eat and a flavorful, tasty drink. This is my third visit here and I absolutely love the atmosphere, the food and the vibes. I had the kitchen sink veggie bowl, my favorite drinks are pineapple express and Californication, it's the perfect twist on a margarita with a little spice and fruity infusion of flavors. The customer service is great, our server was Emma and she was amazing. Highly recommend this place! read more

Came on a Saturday with a couple of friends. Our waitress was very friendly and attentive. It did take a while for our entrees to come out. Apparently the ticket system didn't relay our orders to the kitchen but our waitress got right on it. Food was pretty decent. Drinks were amazing. I'll probably come back. read more

Side Bar - Kitchen Sink dish with added shrimp - Tex-Mex Near Me - Greenville, North Carolina

The menu is pretty limited but most of the food was good. The oysters were very heavily covered in spinach and not very tasty. One of the alcoholic beverages was extremely spicy. Since the policy is you are charged once it's made, ended up paying for a drink we didn't do more than taste once. Price was a bit much for what we got, but the birria tacos were very good. read more

Side bar is a lovely little bar and restaurant in Uptown. Their drinks and dishes were all Latin inspired. While everything we tried was very delicious, they were also not at all what we expected when looking at the menu. I recommend coming to side bar if you would like to be pleasantly surprised and try new dishes and combinations. It's the perfect place for evening drinks and food with friends. I must also comment that we adored the glassware our drinks came in and inside is lovely. The large bar with open shelves and plants is definitely the focal point. They also have spacious patio seating. read more

I got the steak and it was the real deal. Those Parmesan fries were delicious and the beer selection was solid.

Side Bar is a great place. They have a simple menu with delicious Tex Mex food. The bar is outstanding. Our server Max was very accommodating and the bartender was fantastic. We were just looking for something light and tasty. Side Bar was perfect. read more

Very cool hipster vibes from the decor to the music that reminded me of Seattle. I'm glad there is a place like this in Greenville that makes me feel more at home. I got the spicy carne asada burrito. It was especially spicy even for me so I can see it being too spicy for others. Portion is large and I took half of it home. Service was a bit off as we could not find our waitress at one point however it may have been shift change and won't stop me from coming back. read more

Side Bar - Shrimp and grits - Tex-Mex Near Me - Greenville, North Carolina

A cool spot to grab some fresh Mexican food and drinks with friends! The food is always fresh and the servers are very helpful. We recently tried the loaded queso and it was delicious. Their chips are my favorite of any place in Greenville! They also have a great variety of margaritas and specialty drinks. Highly recommend the blueberry margarita! I tried the Baja fish tacos our last visit and they were just okay. Also, the sides are all al a carte and not included in the meal price. Overall, this place is a little pricey compared to others around town but the food is fresh and it's a cool spot in uptown (downtown?) Greenville! read more

Loved this spot. Food was delicious and all the staff were friendly. We will definitely be back. read more

My son is a med student at a nearby college and suggested we come here to eat. We sat on their little outdoor patio and had excellent service.

This is a fantastic spot and we've been coming here lately for brunch. They have indoor and outdoor seating. Their servers are friendly and knowledgeable about what they are serving. The chicken tinga nachos are so good w/ home made chips. The smokehouse cowboy tacos are only on their brunch menu and I loved them. I believe my new favorite is their Fajita Steak tacos. Everything is super flavorful and well thought out. I love the simple margarita and the Pineapple Express is my girlfriend's favorite. I'll be coming back for dinner and brunch. Till next time..... read more

Great ambience inside and out. Bar selection top notch and the mixed drinks are amazing! My wife had the Pineapple Express and loved it! The chips and dip were excellent. Great friendly service. My wife asked for her steak taco to be heated up as it was a little cool, expecting it just to be put in microwave or put under warmer ... no, they remade it immediately! Waiter was quick and went above and beyond to get it right. The food had amazing flavor and kicked it up to next level.... SO GOOD! You will not leave disappointed. read more

As a native Texan, it has been challenging to find decent tex mex in NC. Side Bar does a great job with incredible tacos and great elevated tex mex dishes. Their cocktails are my favorite in Greenville. I've never had a bad meal here. read more

Food was good and was served quickly. Convenient to other restaurants and breweries in the downtown area. We chose the restaurant because they had outdoor dining and allowed dogs. read more

Truly enjoyed our Friday date night here. We were welcomed and sat quickly (running a little behind for our 6:30 reservation which they were forgiving for). Service was great and our food arrived in no time. Drinks: loved the Pineapple Express, a little hint of sweetness, and two or three hints of spice---perfect combination. The Californication was a little spicier, but still good. Apps: empanadas....I would definitely order those again. Be careful, they are a little heavy.....I didn't even finish my entree. The chili con queso was decent. Entree: Tinga Tacos! Let me preface with the fact that my best friends makes me these and it's hard to top hers. I finished maybe half of one here and not because it wasn't good. It was decent, but I was full from the empanadas and really enjoying my drinks. Love the atmosphere. This place was definitely buzzing at 7 on Friday. Cody was an awesome server to us. Can't wait to return. read more

Side Bar is a new spot next to Dickinson Avenue Public House by the same owners. The menu is high end Tex-Mex and they have a great cocktail menu. Just a handful of menu items, but it's plenty to choose from. I expect they'll rotate items on and off like DAP House. My coworker and I had a few different cocktails, got the shredded beef queso and chips to split, and we each ordered the brisket birria ramen because it sounded so interesting. The cocktails were delicious. They're on the pricy end, but the attention to detail made them worth it. Smoky, sweet, and creative. The beef queso and chips were delicious. The chips are fried tortillas, plenty sturdy for dipping. We ate every bite. But the real kicker was the brisket birria ramen. It's an Asian Mexican fusion dish. So much flavor, incredibly rich. Tons of different elements come together to create something truly unique. If I tried to capture all the flavors in this review, I'd be here all night. It's comfort food...hearty, filling, salty, rich, and delicious. Just try it. The restaurant looks so good. They did a great job with the space. The outdoor patio looks fun...we'll sit out there when it's warmer (though they do have space heaters). The service was fantastic. We sat at the bar and never had to wait for anything. The food came super fast too. Kudos to the kitchen...delicious and fast. And they were packed on a Tuesday night. You might want to make a reservation. Side Dish is priced similarly to DAP House. Don't expect a cheap date night there, but you get what you pay for. We'll be back soon. Can't wait to try the tacos. read more

Side Bar - Brisket birria ramen - Tex-Mex Near Me - Greenville, North Carolina

Went here for graduation party. The pictures made me think I wouldn't like anything but I did! I shared scallop tacos and mahi tacos . I felt the mahi had zero flavor although wasn't bad food. The scallop tacos are the baby scallops and had a spicy sauce. They would be better with large scallops imo. Other people had the Korean tacos and brisket tacos and said they were good. The crab corn dip appetizer was really good and chips and sauces good as well. My friend had the empanadas and i took a bite and really liked them, my mom had cauliflower appetizers and was yummy with broccoli and green beans as well. Shrimp and grits ( more like a cake) was decent. Drinks were really good, was it bad? No. Would I rush back? No. read more

Their pork belly tacos are absolutely delicious. The cook on the meat is spot on, with the fat thoroughly rendered but still maintaining that springy texture and smoky flavor. The slaw, salsa and aioli were perfectly complimentary. Also had a taste of the shrimp & chorizo enchiladas... and again, amazing flavors with a perfect cook on the proteins. The loaded nachos are great (although the chips were a bit over salted...not a huge deal). House cocktails are really good as well. All in all...great food, great drinks, inviting atmosphere...completely worth trying! read more

Really good tacos. Great service. It's a unique place. Hand made cocktails, solid beer list, good wine selection. It's tex max meets tapas meets neiborhood grill. Price is fair for everything. Love the round option for the kitchen. Haven't seen that before. It works because the people who work here care and the great food. read more

Good ambience and outdoor seating. Visited on a Thursday and we were seated right away. I had the Pineapple Express which was refreshing and a few people I was with had the spicy margarita which they said was delicious and strong. We started with the gangsta queso and it was delicious. The chips were so yummy. We also tried the Mexican street riblets. My friend and I shared the shrimp and cauliflower tacos which were amazing. The shrimp tacos had a nice bite and they were so flavorful. My friends had the carne asada and the Mahi tacos and they said they were flavorful and would order again. Overall, great ambiance, drinks and would definitely revisit! read more

Side Bar - Bar @ awesome sidebar! Chicken Tinga Nachos!!!!! - Tex-Mex Near Me - Greenville, North Carolina

The food is exceptional. I've yet to eat at a restaurant locally where everything was perfect. Greenville is full of mediocre dining experiences but Sidebar is one word - phenomenal. We started with the loaded Queso - it was delicious. Don't normally get cheese and chips but our party was decent sized and it was plenty for 4. It was spicy but not too much, the pickled onions herbs and avocado comes in a small scoop in the middle of the queso and you can scoop the guac and cheese in a masterful yet simple blend of tastes. For my entree I ordered the Colorado Pork Chilis Verdes Enchilada - it was a generous amount of food and the taste was also exceptional. My dinner party got the Korean Friend Chicken Tacos and the Sweet Thai Chili Tacos, also, exceptional. It should also come to no surprise that their cocktails are also uniquely themed and taste unlike anything I've had before... the Oaxacan Old Fashioned was a superb blend of flavors with a spicy and sweet mix that was excellent, as I'm not a fan of overly sweet cocktails to begin with I have a feeling the non whiskey based ones will be excellent as well. I will be trying the others as I return. Make Sidebar a destination you have to visit. You will not be dissatisfied unless you're just the type to go out and look for every small imperfections in your dining experience... if you are I would find it incredibly hard to find anything negative. Shoutout to the Service staff and cooks, after all we wouldn't have an amazing experience without them as well. You will not get a better dining experience anywhere else. Check them out! read more

SCOTT, best marg maker in the world! Scott was so sweet and was on par all night. Great service!

Side bar is always a great experience but my past two times going with a group we have had a very rude server that has ruined the whole vibe of the dinner. When being returned my check I was rudely tapped on my shoulder multiple times while I was having a conversation. This was very inappropriate and I will definitely be requesting another waiter when returning. read more
