BarFly's Review of Side Street
Difficult to describe the Side Street without mentioning the competition. It's a large, airy, blandly-attractive utilitarian pub with some taste in music (still rather the downy step-brother of kitty-corner Aalto), offering several taps, though nowhere near as many as neighboring Belmont's, and half-a-dozen exotically-spiced tater tots - a ghostly imitation of six-feet-away Salvador Molly's psychedelic-fusion comfort food. Of course, maybe your hair's not that cute today, and you don't feel like overhearing ex-cons or six-year-olds at the bar. Maybe, you want to calm down, have a cold beer and lose yourself ’midst the Side Street's airy, blandly-attractive clientele. Sometimes, you want to go where nobody knows your name.

review IS a little harsh. this place always has a good vibe and one pinball machine is better than none. plus, they make their own pizzas and its actually really good.

The barfly description is a little harsh. The tots are good, cheap, but slow. The bartenders are always great, the jukebox is very good and is of the rare on quarter variety, and the crowd is nice and never too big and rarely too small. There is a well maintained pool here but it is difficult to play on a busy night. All in all I really like this bar, it has a nice feel.

Nice little pub just off Belmont. Beer and wine only for now (recently applied for a liquor license according to the sign on the door). Super nice bartenders, pinball, pool table, awesome jukebox and its clean. It's perfect for this strip of Belmont because you can avoid the vodka and redbull fueled jocks at Friday night fights going on at the Belmont Inn, the pretentiousness of the Aalto and the smell of the Triple Nickel. Great place to grab a few beers after work with some friends.
