Good place to go and have a drink. The bartenders are always so nice and welcoming. There is a good atmosphere with the people that go there. read more

I was looking forward to enjoying a nice dinner with my partner, but unfortunately the hamburger was noticeably undercooked. To make matters worse, there was a sign outside advertising that the World Cup game would be shown on the TV, which was one of the reasons we chose to dine here. However, once we were seated, the owner changed the channel and was extremely dismissive when we politely asked about it. I didn't like the customer service here. read more

If you are looking for a fun environment to play pool, then I would highly recommend coming here. There are always lots of people here and the vibe is pretty upbeat. It also does not reek of smoke, which is a huge plus! There is usually a pool table open or someone about to be done. For only 50 cents per pool game you can hangout here for hours. The food is decent but I wasn't expecting much from more of a bar environment. This is one of the few places I have found that carries Angry Orchard on draft which I love! read more

Side Pockets - American Near Me - Blue Springs, Missouri

See all

Classic bar food. Not super high quality but gets the job done. Darts and pool are fun. It's pretty clean for a bar! Service was very friendly! read more

I love this place for gatherings. They have great food and drinks. There is lots of activities to do and the people there are amazing!!!

Wait staff doesn't frequently check on tables and the bar almost always closes earlier than posted hours

Paying $70 to watch a pay-per-view MMA fight isn't really my thing, so we always head up to Side Pockets to watch the fights. On fight nights, they are always packed and it's safe to say I'm not the only one that enjoys watching the fights for free. The beer is cold and the service is decent. read more

I went here with my grandmother on a Friday night. Hoping to find the love of my life. Her name was Gertrude. The girl I met.... Not my grandmother. Listen, if you want to leave somewhere covered in a condiment, this place is your jam. Literally, because you will leave here covered in a tomato based jam. Mosteltoff. read more

I liked Side Pockets when I finally figured out where it was. Our Chiefs group met there for a watch party. And the food was phenomenal. The service? Not the greatest. She was confused, and some of us were charged, 2 times, not that we paid twice, I'm just saying. Some didn't get their food. Side Pockets should've had 2 people helping out. The food? it was was really good. I saw the tenderloin sandwich and I wish I had ordered one. Next time I will. The bar has over 29 T.V.s. They had us set up with 2 huge t.v. screens. The bad thing is the smoke, which I'm lowering it a star. I can't stand cigarette smoke, it bothers my sinuses. ...I supposed if I became a smoker,I'd think differently. This morning my hair smells like smoke, my skin smells like smoke. Per choice, I'd probably not return cause of the smoke. But Side Pockets itself is really cool, and clean, except for the smoke...I will return for a tenderloin sandwich, after I get rid of the the smoke smell coming form my purse last night. read more

We got scammed. I was given $20 to spend here at Sidepockets through a loyalty program put on by my apartment complex. I already know these loyalty programs are a scam but I called ahead and tried to find out all the in's and out's of using these vouchers from restaurants.com. I'm disabled and asked if these coupons could be used for a delivery order and was told they were for dine in only. I get how that makes the restaurant look better by having more butts in the seats but fine, I decided to bring a friend and we went there in person. The in-person menu was more expensive than the one I found online. So we proceed to spend about $20 at this restaurant on a sampler platter of very basic greasy food. Frankly, I've had better at IHOP and I can make greasy food and listen to too loud 80's music at home. Our server reeked of 3 day old cigarettes and our food tasted like cigarettes too. Then we check our bill and they've only accepted $10 of the $20 we had in available coupons. "Only one per visit" we were told after all was said and done. We weren't able to see anywhere in print where these restrictions were posted and we felt like they were made up on the spot. One star is generous for our experience. We won't be returning. read more

We were only here for a short bit but had a great time! I'm from Massachusetts and I've never met a more friendly bartender than Melissa. She was so sweet whenever I ordered anything and I felt really welcomed. We're gonna be back eventually, and I can't wait! read more

I like Sidepocket's happy hour beer & drink specials. Generally after a rough day I'll head there with some friends. The drawback is the smoking environment. No offense smokers... I grew up around it, but I hate smelling like smoke after I leave. The later it gets the more smokey the place becomes. If you want to play pool or watch the game this is a cool place if you don't mind the smoke. The service can be slow, but it's not terrible. There are plenty of tv's and tables so finding a seat is never a problem. I usually only eat from the appetizer menu and all I can say is that it's bar food. Don't expect gourmet, but it will help soak up the alcohol! All in all Sidepocket's is a decent spot to blow off some steam. read more

The food is alright, and the games they provide are good, but the female restroom is awful. It lacks sanitary conditions, there was blood on the floor, and some of the stalls have writing on it, saying cuss words and inappropriate comments on the stall like a high school bathroom, probably even worse. Some of the locks don't even work! Clean the bathrooms. read more

Pluses: Lots of tables, good burgers (mine prepared a perfect medium-rare, as requested,) friendly servers. Minuses: Smoke. Pretty boring beer selection. Obnoxious music. read more

Typical pool haul, nothing great stands out in my mind of this place. Very casual, food is good for a pool haul. Offer drink specials and normal bar service. The customers vary in type but can get your normal drunk douchebag here. read more

Side Pockets is a great place for playing a game of pool, darts, or hanging out with a large group of friends. The bar is huge. Not such a great place for a bite to eat. Someone in our group had a Reuben and did praise that it was a good one. I had chicken tenders and they were average at best. The appetitzer of spinach artichoke dip was not very good. All in all....the beer and company was good. The food not so much. read more

This is the best restaurant/bar ever! I go their once a week. Me and my family enjoy playing Pool together we always have great experience! My food is delivered quickly and is always so delicious. I love this place! It's also a non-smoking place and we don't have to deal with the smoke. read more

I just went here for a couple drinks with a buddy after work. Lots of empty pool tables, lots of cigarette smoke. I left there smelling like an ashtray. The only server was the bartender, who seemed very off put that we would dare order drinks at a bar. I wouldn't dream of ordering food here. It seems amazing that this place stays in business with such bad location. I've been to the Lee's Summit location a few times, and it's a touch better, mostly because you have to smoke outside there. No thanks! read more

I absolutely LOVE this Side Pockets. My fiance and I go every Friday and are never disappointed with the staff. The food is great, the place is clean, we always have great service and never have much of a problem finding a pool table to play at. If you're looking for a bar without the typical dirty, sleazy, unfriendly bar scene, this Side Pockets would be the place to go. read more

Fun place. I go on Harley nights on Thursday. Their music is annoying though. Dj plays about 30 seconds of a song then changes to something else. Wish they would stop that. read more

Great burgers and bar food. Service is a little slow. If there is a good game on you won't notice too much

The one thing I was really looking forward to ordering here was a nice big pork tenderloin; a sandwich synonymous with Side Pockets. I had not been to any Side Pocket location in years and was thoroughly looking forward to this monstrosity. The sandwich was much smaller than the huge amount of disappointment that came with it. The fries were great and I even loved the pickles but I was completely and totally let down with the star of this side show. Dry! Dry! Dry! I literally used four packets of mayo to try and moisten things up. My friend ordered something else. I chose to fight through it. The server showed no emotion or even pretended to care about my satisfaction or lack thereof. A sad experience and a guarantee that I will not return any time soon. read more

Just wanted wings and a beer kinda quick. Walked in, sat at a table and not one person acknowledged us for five WHOLE minutes. Got up and walked out. This bar has the worst service EVER. Dont go here. The staff is terrible, you wont get a drink. It was 6 o clock on a Friday. No one was in there. Just a bunch of employees standing around. read more

Not my favorite. But, I can't say its that bad either. Good for sports games and obviously pool. I'd say average sports bay in every way except for size - it is a large place. read more

This is a great bar with lots of fun things to do. They show the fights with no cover charge! The food is DELICOUS - not like most bar food. My only complaint is if you are not a smoker, the smoke might bother you. If you have asthma or small kids I wouldn't recommend it. It's huge, so you won't be tripping over other people. There are dart boards, tons of pool tables, shuffle board, poker. They have good drink specials and the staff do a great job. They also do catering and fundraising events too. I love Side Pockets! read more

Worst place ever. Me and my fiancée went last nite and it was hardly busy at 11 pm on a Friday night. The waitress came over when we got there already had drinks and she's like oh you already have drinks and that was the only time we saw her. The pool tables are dirty we had to wash our hands after we left because they were dirty from touching the tables. It's all a bunch of young kids who are loud and obnoxious. From now on we are sticking to our little bar where we know we will get served. read more

A good sports bar with plenty of pool tables and a full menu. I play on a pool league here weekly and have had consistent good food and service for a couple of years. They do allow smoking in Blue Springs, but it is stated on the door as you enter so there is nothing unexpected. They have decent drink specials and plenty of parking. If you are looking for a good sports bar/pool hall this is a good place. read more

The service was out right horrible you are charged for every refill there drinks are high priced and bartenders Sky and Jay are very rude they cater to there friends and the owners are to busy sleeping with there staff to care for there customers one of the owners was drunk while playing golden tee they put a hold on your credit card when you run a tab there servers are slow and seemed over whelmed all in all we have been there several times and will not return to that classless place. read more
