In 2015, behind a quiet door across the hall from one of Grand Rapid’s favorite pizza shops, the choice was made to open a speakeasy style cocktail bar with the goal of elevating cocktail culture. 9 years later, our quiet 18 person room has done just that. Sidebar offers an intimate atmosphere which facilitates good conversation, comfort, and expansion of both mind and palate. 

Our menu changes seasonally and is but a suggestion of what the bartenders here at SideBar can provide. We offer a wide variety of cocktails, both classic and modern, and would be more than happy to tailor a beverage to your exact specifications. On the other hand our staff is adept at interpretation. Give them a feeling, a name, an idea of a cocktail and they will not disappoint. So consider our menu a guide, a jumping off point, or a conversation starter between you and your taste buds.

Now relax, talk to a stranger, enjoy the music, or take a moment to yourself.
