I used to go here during lunch hours when I had a time off during the week. Different hours now so this because this spot is on my way home from work, today I decided to stop in for the wings which I think have a good buffalo sauce flavor. Place is usually neat and I always saw the bartenders wiping down the counter and tables. Today I was disappointed. BIG TIME! The bartender was friendly kind of and after placing my order I got my drink right away but the wings took forever. She was obviously ready to get off and started closing out everyone's tab. In spite of her never asking if everything was okay, just rushing to finish her shift, I still gave her a $5 tip for a $15 order and there was no thank you..nothing..Crickets!!
To beat that when the wings did come out they were not tasty, looked old and they was barely any buffalo sauce, mostly fried, tasteless wings. I was too tired to complain. She didn't offer any napkins so I had to grab the small drink napkins off the bar. Once the next shift came on, I asked this bartender for some bigger napkins, she happily obliged. No sooner did I get into my last wing, here comes a roach coming crawling out right next to my basket from behind the bar. That finalized it for me!! I immediately jumped up, grabbed my drink and my things and moved to a larger area. I was so disgusted and I know now I will never order food from there again. I'm not sure I feel safe to buy a drink either, convenient location or not. I know sometimes businesses may have issues because of their neighbors but please get a good exterminator! I really liked coming here just to get away from my other hangouts for some me time. The only reason I gave this establishment 2 stars was because of the attentiveness of the...
Read moreIf you’re looking for a bartender at Sidelines who doesn’t just serve drinks but transcends the role of mere mortal, then Kaity is your divine cocktail goddess. Entering her domain is like stepping into a parallel universe where every drink is a masterpiece, every laugh is infectious, and every problem can be solved with a perfectly poured Old Fashioned.
First off, Kaity doesn’t just take orders—she reads minds. I walked up, not even sure what I wanted, and before I could utter a word, she slid me a mojito that could cure my soul’s hangover from a life of bad decisions. I’m convinced she’s part wizard, part mixologist, and part therapist, offering both impeccable drinks and unsolicited yet sound life advice.
I once saw Kaity make John Taffer apologize for knowing less about bar science than she does. Her timing? Impeccable. I could drop my keys, and before they hit the floor, Kaity has already turned around, caught them mid-air, and handed me a gin and tonic with a wink that says, “I got you, fam.” When she smiles, I swear the world shifts slightly into alignment—like a cosmic alignment but with more tequila.
She doesn’t just make drinks; she creates experiences. I once saw her mix a gin fizz with such precision that it could’ve solved world peace. The way she garnishes her cocktails is practically art—her lime slices have been known to inspire poetry.
Do you want an average bartender? Keep walking. But if you want to experience what it’s like to drink in the presence of a legend, Kaity is your answer. She’s not just mixing drinks; she’s mixing joy, laughter, and that one shot of tequila that will forever be the highlight of your night.
Five stars, a standing ovation, and a promise to name my...
Read moreI hosted a celebration of life event at Sidelines on 6/30. The Wednesday prior to this date, I stopped in and spoke with the manager on duty at that time, Steve. He was extremely nice and took down all the details of the event to ensure our time there was just as we wanted it. He even called the owner (Chris) to make him aware of the special occasion. Both Steve and Chris followed up with me prior to, during and after the event to make sure everything was going well. It meant a great deal to me that they each took time out of their day to make sure we had everything we needed. This is a prime example of exemplary customer service! Our dedicated server (Taylor) was amazing as well! She was a sweetheart, very attentive and never let our glasses get empty.
I can’t thank the crew at Sidelines enough for making our gathering to celebrate a dear friend’s passing, one that was so pleasant and just how we wanted it. Thank you again to Chris, Steve and Taylor for all that each of...
