The Manette Sidebar

I started going to the Sidebar when they introduced the small plates.  I'm now there 2-3 days a week.  I always get the Amberly Lemonade (I like the way the manager makes it) and whichever new small plate they have that week.  When I'm being especially bad I also get the Sexy Tots.  The roasted beet goat cheese salad was absolutely delicious.  This week are steak bites, which I cannot get enough of! Adrian, the cook, is amazing!!!  The bartender is always friendly and the atmosphere is relaxed.  Usually on the weekend I head over to The Manette Saloon upstairs once The Sidebar has closed to catch the rest of the live bands.  Plus they have a couple of pool tables and there are always interesting people to talk to.

Nice neighborhood wine bar.  The service has been good everytime I have been in.  They have a decent selection of wines, including 14 Hands.  The staff is friendly and they have some fun events here frequently, like wine tastings, beer tastings and they have a mystery game coming up at the end of Sept.  I have held a book club here for a few months and it is quiet enough to talk, without being a library.  Decent food as well.  I love the chicken strips and the salads are not too bad.  The cook even mixed up somthing special for me last time.

We come here before going to the Admiral. Good wine & snacks. Sliders & sexy fries are my favorets. Attended a fun wine tasting party hear about a month ago. Always Chearful.
