Sidelines is stuck between two identities, being a neighborhood bar and a trendy spot. With being said it navigates those waters better than most. The winds are what they are widely known for and for good reason, they're excellent! However their selection of great craft brews and the staff's knowledge of them is really worth noting and excellent. The only reason I don't rate the place as five stars is because it can be a little on the pricey side especially if you are not mixing in a few domestic brews into your night out.
