Was Candace Martin at Side a mag?
Nice, clean place with a beautiful bar. The bartender who served me was very friendly. Drinks were made exactly to order and generously poured. I would definitely come back. Also, the French fries were excellent. View all feedback.
What Tim k dislikes about Side:
It's amazing they can make a makers marks/kentucky mule taste that awful. I literally don't know how they do it, I couldn't't do that if I tried. It was terrible. Also, biggest screen is terrible, the $200 projector we have at our house is 5x better than this (see the second picture). Their largest screen (the projector screen)cost less than their smallest screen in the room, which they have 7, like wtf. Only saving... View all feedback.

We went for Taco Tuesday. Limited taco options, but what they had was reasonably priced, made with fresh ingredients, and tasted great. I have to admit (with some embarrassment) that I skipped the tacos and ordered a smash burger and fries off their happy hour menu. The bun was sort of falling apart when I got it, but it was delicious. I did steal a couple of bites of a chicken taco from my husband- yum! Friendly atmosphere and our waiter, Ben, did a fantastic job. He was busy, but he still managed to keep everything organized- even though our party of 10 arrived in three separate groups, we changed seating arrangements 2x, and we had two people with dietary restrictions. He was attentive and helpful. We will definitely be coming back. Price per person: $10–20 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 4

The chef at the side bar feels like they're from another world—the food is simply amazing! I walked in anticipating standard bar fare, but what I got was bar food that was on a whole new level.
Side Bar consistently provides an excellent experience. Each booth comes with its own TV, so you can enjoy video games at your table. The beer prices are reasonable, and the venue is spacious, with a private back area available for rent. They also have daily food and drink specials. Overall, the food is quite impressive—not your standard bar offerings.

My top choice for fries in Eugene! The burgers are outstanding, and honestly, every item on the menu is excellent. The margaritas are amazing too!
Nice, clean place with a beautiful bar. The bartender who served me was very friendly. Drinks were made exactly to order and generously poured. I would definitely come back. Also, the French fries were excellent.
The bartenders here are the best, and the sandwiches are fantastic. I've never had a bad experience at Side. The staff is friendly, and they offer great specials, along with karaoke and trivia nights. A fun place to be!
This is a fantastic place to watch a game if you’re located north of the Ferry Street Bridge. The venue is equipped with plenty of TVs, ensuring you won’t miss any action. Over the past year, they’ve made notable enhancements to both the menu and the quality of the food. I especially loved the Reuben sandwich and the improved fries! The staff is also wonderful!

This restaurant is my favorite little secret for weekend brunch! If you want to enjoy delicious food without the long wait or the crowds usually seen at most brunch places...
My husband and I absolutely love having breakfast or brunch on Sundays, but we really dislike the long wait times that often come with it. It turns out, we’re not the only ones who enjoy Sunday brunch!

I had a lovely evening outdoors and ordered the chicken nachos. There was so much food that I couldn't finish it all in one sitting! Delicious!
I dedicated some time to searching for the best Mac and cheese, and I have to say that my previous experience in Eugene at Sidebar was unbeatable, especially with their Mac and cheese served in a bread bowl. It's a fun spot with a vibrant atmosphere, making it an excellent place to catch a game.
I visited the sidebar once, and it was quite an experience. My last visit there was enjoyable. I believe the staff member’s name was Jess or Jessica.
First time in and was impressed. I had a Sisters Mango Selzer. Very good! We ordered the pulled pork nachos, and I'm glad we shared because the plate was huge. The pork had a great smoky flavor which made the nachos even better. Turns out, they smoke their meats themselves. The bar has an overall great vibe. We will be back...gotta try more from the menu and a micro brew!
