i was i vacation for Obama election last year, everyday i had a fun time here, the bar is amazing and bartender in the big room was very friendly and give me tips on things to see and do in Chicago during my stay.The doormen were always polite, the only bad thing is smoking is forbiden even on the roof top terrace :( Spending election night here was fantastic! i'll never forget this moment!
Sundays the Tracks
Sundays at Sidetracks in summer is not to be missed. This is the place where all the hottest men get together for an afternoon buzz. Frisky, fun and full of HOT men!
If they had seven stars I'd give it to Sidetrack
Love, love, love Sidetrack! Great set up, they're expanding soon, good drinks, and friendly staff, what more can you ask for? Oh, hot guys too! I always have a great time here.
Awsome bar!
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!
Sunday Showtime
Every city in the world should be able to wave with white napkins on Evita Perron - Don't cry for me Argentina.... And of course, don't forget the Partridge Family:-)
