Sidebar 122

I had never honestly heard of this place before yesterday. Went here for Mother's Day with the family and had a great time!

They serve complimentary cilantro hummus and pita, which is really amazing...probably the best hummus I've ever had. We ordered a few tapas to share...pork skewers, mussels, and shrimp in garlic sauce. They did not disappoint! The garlic sauce the shrimp came in? WOW! We had to ask our waitress for more pita so we could dunk it in and not waste that wonderful sauce.

No complaints from anyone about their meals. I ordered the shrimp pasta, which was great, and was able to save half of it to take home. The waitress brought out a complimentary Mother's Day dessert, which was a gelatin with a sugar (?) flower inside. Now, I'm not a fan of jello, but this was actually tasty! Props to the pastry chef for the beautiful and delicious dessert.

I didn't have any drinks, but they do serve New Age, which is my favorite wine.

Prices aren't outrageous, but they're not cheap either.  The food is definitely worth what they charge. Will be back again one day for a special occasion!

My family came here to celebrate my sister graduating from THE Ohio State University and it was the perfect place to do so!

DRINKS -- very good, and so CHEAP compared to Manhattan cocktail prices; they have a very extensive drink menu with lots of different cocktails, craft beers, and wine to choose from. I enjoyed my Pisco Sour and my mom loved the Moscow Mule (town fave of the place). They even give you a little glass for the extra the bartender made -- unheard of in NYC. So everyone complaining of $10 drinks being too expensive.... you've got it good -- TRUST ME.

FOOD -- get some tapas to start; loved the talapia fritters and the complimentary pesto cilantro hummus and pita chips they provide; chicken croquettes were a little gooey and I couldn't really tell there was any meat :/ For mains, we all loved our dishes -- I got the steak and my other family members ordered fish dishes. Everyone was very very pleased with both the protein AND sides. No complaints!

I highly recommend Sidebar 122 as a place to celebrate a graduation, anniversary (like the table next to us) or just a nice date!

Looking for a smashing good time in a classy place? This is the perfect spot.

Sidebar gives that great feeling of being in an upscale place, but one that's not to pretentious. You can go here and have a relaxed good time with your friends, or have a great night with that special someone.

The atmosphere is very clean, classy and classic.

The drinks brought me in, with tales of classic cocktails done very well, and they are brilliant. You'll usually find me with a dark and stormy, but it's always a tough choice when I look at the drink menu.

The food is spectacular, everything I've had to eat there has been awesome. And it's no typical bar/restaraunt food, we're the dishes are as fancy as the cocktails, with highlights like lobster ravioli, veal shank, paella, and ceviche.

Super bonus: Tuesday happy hour (5-7) They stuff you full of free tapas while you drink. This is possibly the best deal I've ever seen.

But wait! Theres more!

There are also a basement and 2'nd floor that may be open for certain occasions, which means you may get some live tunes, or be able to host your own event here!
