What players say

The pool tables have terrain but they're free so it's all good. Fun and friendly crowd. Cheap drinks and it's not just a stop along the way - you can stay here and have a great time.

★★★★★ Ethan, Dec 2025

Drinks were so good I washed up in the river afterwards. Love Side Bar, always a deathly good time and chill crowd. Great prices too. And always some nice folks in the bathroom. Cheers.

★★★★★ Devin, Sep 2024

Dope energy, cheap drinks, good music and a great outside patio. When we road trip down from DFW we always hangout at the Side Bar in Austin!
