What we say

Chicago's premiere video bar for nearly 30 years
Another stop on the "musts" tour of Boystown. Videos fill the joint with pop dance tunes. Be sure to check out the great rooftop beer garden, open in the warm months. With what seems like seven large rooms and lounges, Sidetrack is the biggest gay bar in the city with the claim of selling the most vodka of any bar in the U.S.

***** RE:Too Broadway

I have to say I agree with DesertRat and his opinion of the showtunes. Not that I dislike them, but I think one night a week(Sundays) would be enough. I have been coming to this bar for 20 years and have watched it expand and still like this place, but less showtunes would be good. Also, a couple of times I had walked up to the video DJ to make a request and was handed some rudeness and attitude. He seemed to really not like what he was doing. Hey, I'll trade with you if you don't like your job. In spite of these 2 things I still like coming here for the mixed crowd, the bar has great atmosphere and the bartenders are friendly. But they really need some customer friendly VJ's.

***** Awsome bar!
Posted: September 15, 2008
First of all... This place is HUGE! Every major city should have a bar like this one. Lots of different rooms each having a unique look to it. Plays great show tunes on Sunday afternoons. Friendly bartenders and top notch staff running the place. I highly recommend it!
