About the venue
Sidetrack has been on North Halsted since 1982 and has grown into a large multi-room video bar with several bars and an outdoor roof deck. It is best known for its show-tunes nights, when the whole room sings along to Broadway clips on the screens, and for frozen cocktails…
“Such a fun bar. Drinks are excellent and feel reasonably priced. Plus the atmosphere is amazing” — Dayne Hammerly, Google
“Sidetracks is just awesome! Not only have we patronized this bar for YEARS, but we've also had a couple of private events there. Most recently, we hosted a Pride event for our clients a couple of weeks ago. Brad and the team were amazing to work with and took care of all of your needs and many requests. A big thank you! Riz & Dennis” — Rizwan Gilani, Google
