Sidecar Bar & Grille

Cleveland (Indians and Great Lakes) Are Coming to Town

Posted by Foobooz on May 13th, 2013

greatLakes_12x18_web

The Cleveland Indians are coming to town to face the Phillies this week and they’re brining Great Lakes Brewing with them. That might not be exactly true, but the Sidecar Bar is capitalizing on the Indians rare trip to Philadelphia, by throwing a beer event tomorrow, May 14th. Great Lakes, which might be the best thing that’s come out of Cleveland since Calvin and Hobbes or John D. Rockefeller will be taking over the taps and even the brewer is showing up to the Graduate Hospital bar.

We have such respect for Great Lakes Brewing we’re even going to refrain from taking a cheap-shot at the city of Cleveland. And trust us, that takes some self-control.

Posted by Alex Tewfik on April 5th, 2013

Good news, everyone!

Two beer havens in this city are offering dollar dogs and dollar caramel popcorn bowls during any weekday Phillies game. That means you don’t have to waste your life/money away on a tin-bottled Bud, and instead, you can enjoy first-class beer with dollar cracker jacks and dollar dogs, all while watching a game that includes high-def replays of your Phillies tearing apart the diamond.

Oh, and guess what today is? A weekday with the Phillies home opener.

Kraftwork and Sidecar Bar & Grille it is!

Diners Drive-Ins and Dives Filming in Town, Has Guy Fieri Been Spotted?

Posted by Foobooz on February 10th, 2013

Diners_Guy_078_lead

We thought it was odd that Sidecar Bar & Grille at 22nd and Christian was closed during the day yesterday. Doubly weird that the Standard Tap was also closed. But then a tipster told us they spotted a Diners, Drive-ins and Dives film crew at Sidecar and it began to make sense. We reached  out to Standard Tap owner William Reed as to whether he had received a visit from “Flavor Town.” Reed issued a “no comment” which speaks volumes.

Did anyone see Guy Fieri himself around town? And are any diners, drive-ins or dives not open today? Let us know.

Oh My God! It’s 12-12-12

Posted by Foobooz on December 12th, 2012

In case you somehow missed it, today is December 12, 2012, or 12/12/12. It’s the same backwards and forward. And for some reason everyone loses their shit. And as annoying as that might be, there are some really good events happening today, some inspired by the date, some because it’s the second Wednesday in December.
