A Ride in the Sidecar

A Ride in the Sidecar
I love going out. Night life excites me, but it's often difficult to find a place that can consistently offer something unique and fresh every single night of the week. Imagine a world with an afternoon and midnight happy hour, along with a 1:30 late night kitchen. Picture a calendar where the names of the week are replaced with Bitter Mondays, Tight Lipped Tuesdays, and Pork Me Sundays; each day offering slashed prices on food & drinks. Such a place only seems possible on the Island of "Lost," but allow me to let you in on a secret, my friend. I know of this place.

The Side Car Bar & Grille located on 22nd and Christian Street. If you don't visit this amazing bar and grille I will come to your home and physically carry you there. You won't be disappointed because at the Sidecar Bar & Grille, you can have a great time all time.

Oh, ok, so now it's the weekend and your special lady friend was just complaining about being hungry and never going out. How about the Saturday/Sunday Brunch available from 10:30 to 3pm. The Side Car Platter offers your traditional eggs accompanied by bacon, ham, and home-fries; while the Buttermilk Biscuit sandwich is a tasty exotic treat. Have any plans on Monday? How about Monday all the way through Friday? The Side Car Bar & Grille has two happy hour sessions; 3 to 7pm & 12 to 2am offering $2.50 Highlife, $3.50 you-call-it drinks, $1 off all drafts, and half priced nachos and chicken fingers. Tight-Lipped Tuesdays have $3.50 domestic drafts all night long and Pork me Sundays offer $1 off drafts and half priced all pork platters from 5:30pm to 1:30am.

Overall, the Sidecar Bar is unlike a traditional side-car in that you're not connected to a speeding motorcycle but similar in that no matter what, you are in for a glorious joy ride. All you have to do is climb inside and the mysterious Sidecar does the rest. Something speaks to you when those doors close behind you as you enter. It says buckle up, because this Sidecar is on an express route to the time of your life.
