  I've been to alot of bars in my life and ran into alot of differen't kinds of owners.
  Ma and Gary are the best. And I was only there for two nights.
  The college kids in this town owe most of the good times they have to this bar.
  
  The drinks here are stronger than Texas, Alabama, Florida, Manhattan.
  
  They do not play any games and the drinks are super cheap too.
  
  The only think I don't like is that it's almost always crammed full of super drunk college students, and even if it wasn't in a college town it would be an awesome bar.
  '
  My former #1 dive bar was The Levee in Brooklyn, This is equal to that.
  
  Ma and Gary are nothing but class acts and very subtle about it too.
  
  And if you under age fear the super soaker. I saw them toss out two people for fake IDs by chasing them out of the bar with SUPER SOAKERS!
  
  How fricking awesome is that?!

  The best college bar in Geneva.  Consistently overrun with students from Hobart and William Smith.  While this may be a turn off to people looking to grab a quick drink, for students Sideshow is a great place to come for late night shenanigans with friends.  A great atmosphere, and the staff is very friendly.

  I went to Hobart for 4 years and this place helped to shelter me for 2 of them.  Sideshow is run by Ma and Gary.  They also have a great supporting cast - Kim and ashley in particular.
  
  The beer is cold, the music in the juke box dosen't pass 1980 and everyone who comes to "the show" is a die hard fan of the place.  personally it became a home away from home for myself and a number of my friends.
  
  A great college bar - but just keep in mind that if you're under 21 Ma has a super soaker ready to encourage you to leave.  not kidding.
