I was very questionable while going through their security check, which was like going through a TSA checkpoint, but was pretty worth it as we had a good time. Now after reading some other reviews I see that they keep your information and record exactly who comes in, by the machine they scan your license into, guess that's their prerogative, but if you value your privacy, you may not want to come. Will say all the security guys were super friendly, just doing their jobs and getting everyone through as quickly as they could. Getting past, there was a $10 cover. The place is hugh with an upstairs and down. Downstairs was country, and upstairs was more a hip-hop dance club. DJ was downstairs once we entered. I don't think we realized there was a live band playing, when we came in, they were on a break. After about an hour or so, they came back out. I'm not sure who they were, but they really rocked the house they were super fun and sounded great. There's a large dance floor with a good sized stage for acts to play. It wasn't overly busy at first, and then it started to fill up. They have a number of different bars you can get drinks from when I went to two of them in the bartenders, who were always friendly and tried to get to you as quickly as they could. We ventured upstairs for a little bit to check out the scene, which was much busier upstairs at first, then downstairs. We had a really good time and no regrets by going. You definitely can have a lot of fun here. Looks like they'll put on some good shows, so it's a great place to catch up and coming country stars.

I loved going here on Saint Patrick's Day weekend! I had fun dancing to the music and loved the cover band. The cover charge was $20 - which definitely makes sense because of all the up kept they have to do. I am wondering if $20 is always the cover charge or does it vary? I felt very protected with the security that walked around occasionally to make sure everyone was okay! :) definitely will be returning.

The bouncers were extremely rude and wouldn’t let me in because I blinked too fast. Let all of my friends in, but me. My night was absolutely ruined and will not be back here for a long time.

Would it really be a Saturday night at Sides without a bar fight and the off duty police having to pin unruly customers to the floor and take them out in cuffs? Sorry not my scene- and their "Security" otherwise is a complete joke. If they know you you skip right on in nothing checked. Avoid this place if you really value your safety.

If you're not from here like I am, the upstairs venue on a Saturday night is very lively and full of people.

Went with a friend. Had to go through a metal detector outside before entering. It went off and was wanded and allowed entry. Same for my friend. However, when she stepped out later to speak with a friend, she was told she had to go back through the security machine. She waited in the long line again and once again had the machine go off. Upon reentery, she voiced to herself that was ridiculous. The bouncer at the door heard her and physically grabbed her, asking what she had said. She seemed confused because she didn't say it to anyone in particular. She asked him to remove his hands from her, but he refused and told her that since she didn't like how they ran things, she was barred. No reentry. Upon coming through the front door to advise me to get her purse, she had her hand all bent back by the doorman. There was no reason for the physical activity to her. She is 5'5", maybe 130lbs. The police officer outside could have escorted her in to collect her things. The unwarranted barring and the physical assault were totaling uncalled for. Pd on seen as security advised to have all tapes pulled and to file charges. We walked away while calling Rke City Police Dept. The incident is recorded. Calls have been made to Sidewinders management but have not been returned. I get security being physical to a person they are concerned may be drunk or causing harm. But not a female in a skirt, voicing her aggravation. Boo on Sidewinders. Will not ever be returning. Luck, she didn't have ptsd from a situation in the past. This could have been a very bad situation.Interesting, how I can not respond to the (owners) review. If she had been intoxicated, she would have been arrested and not allowed to walk away on her own accord. But I would expect you to come to the defense of your own establishment. I have no issue with security. However, I feel that a customer who had already been in the facility for an hour should not have to wait back in line. But she could have been scanned by the wand. No excuse for your poor customer service.
Awesome staff, bartenders are all very friendly and they do a great job with security, keeping the bar

Nice venue for an up close concert. Would be nice if there were a few more tables downstairs and/or if the upstairs could stay open with video footage on the big screen of the artist on the lower floor.

Came here tonight for a friend's birthday celebration. They had karaoke downstairs,and a Dj upstairs. I LOVE how amazing their security is,top notch. The drinks are a good price,and I loved the atmosphere. The wait in line was a bit long,but definitely worth it. The staff was cool as well,and I like how they have multiple bars. Also the jello syringe are really creative. Definitely recommend this place.
