Sideways

I lived in Fayetteville for 3 years.  Sideways had been open for almost two of them.  This is not only my favorite bar in Fayetteville, it is my favorite bar of all the bars i've ever been to, that includes bars in Los Angeles, New York, San Francisco, Chicago, Dallas, Seattle, San Diego, and many other cities.  Fancy yourself a beer drinker? this is the spot for you. Something like 64 beers on tap and over 100 more in bottles.  They also offer up wine and liquor.  The staff is amazing, always friendly.  Go enough and they will remember you and treat you right.  Sideways offers shuffle board, 2 pool tables, an internet juke box, mega touch, and golden tee.  I cannot say enough good things about Sideways.  Everytime i am back in Fayetteville i make it a point to stop in for a drink.  If you know you are going to be living here you should make this your place to go.

This is a cool local bar. It gets a little over crowded on the weekend, but that should tell you it's a good bar.

I've been slowly looking for a bar to call home here in Fayetteville, and Sideways might just be the place.  A strong tap wall, a good refrigerator case, and a friendly bartender are all requirements, and Sideways had them in spades on Thursday night.  I attended a function for some graduate students there, and had a fantastic time.  there were at least 45 or 50 of us, and the room felt both intimate, but uncrowded.  The pool tables were well kept, the shuffleboard table was one of the best i've ever played on, and the service was outstanding.  $2 Honey Brown pints was one of the specials, and they were served fast and cold.  there was even a little alleyway out back for people to stand and smoke.  The room was comfortable, not over-decorated, and very much the sort of non-pretentious beer bar that i enjoy.  While i did not order any mixed drinks, friends who did said they were well mixed, not over priced, and again, served with a smile.

I'm certainly going back to Sideways, and I encourage all of you to try it for yourselves.
