SideBar Gastropub is one of those rare spots that instantly feels like your neighborhood bar but also serves genuinely great food. The building dates back to 1895, and you can feel the historic charm the moment you walk in. Warm, cozy, and full of character—this place truly stands out.

What I love most:
Great Happy Hour
Awesome Wing Wednesday deal
High-quality food with all sauces made in-house
Local craft beers
Classic + creative signature cocktails
Thoughtful wine selection

SideBar blends old-school comfort with a fresh, elevated take on classic bar fare. They also host live music several nights a week and are only a few blocks from hacpac making it a perfect pre-show stop.

Planning something special? Their intimate, historic setting is perfect for holiday parties or private events.

If you haven’t been yet, definitely add SideBar to your list. It’s a true gem in Hackensack.

This has definitely become my partner and my favorite spot for date night! This was our second time coming to SideBar after falling in absolute love with the poutine the first time we came! This time we didn’t even bother with entrées and just went for the wings and poutine. The poutine was delicious as always but what really left us stunned this time was the chili lime wings we got, coming in a creamy and tangy sauce, with a side of house made buttermilk ranch, they were perfectly cooked and were named by my partner as “the BEST wings”.

Cozy venue, my server Andrew, was very attentive, big plus. Pretty spacious venue, so it’s comfortable for groups of various sizes they have happy hour from 4pm-7pm on weekdays, extra plus. The happy hour bites were really good. I had one of each. I recommend checking this place out.

Singer/guitarist was fun. Drinks and burgers are overpriced. Wings are a good deal on Wednesdays. Bartenders are friendly and helpful

Awesome bar! This place has a chill vibe perfect for a solo lunch break, friendly business drink, or a friends get-together. I saw all kinds of people when I popped in for a quick bite. This is obviously a neighborhood spot, but one you can feel comfortable in pretty much no matter who you are or where you are from.

The bartender JoJo was exactly what you want in a bartender, eager to get you a beer, give a recommendation, and put your food order in and friendly with conversation if you wanted it.

The food is approachable bar food, but not typical food (especially considerinf we were in Jersey). With a Canadian influence, the poutine is delish! With a Mediterranean influence, the lamb burger was flavorful and exactly what I wanted. From typical bar bites to unexpected international snacks, SideBar delivered on the comfortable vibe promised on their website.

Highly recommend if you are in the area. Parking is a bit wonky, but worth searching for the spot to pull up to this Hackensack gem.

4 Stars simply because I didn’t eat here, just had their Cocktails which was pretty good. Was here for a quick meeting so couldn’t really post a complete review but for the short time I was there, the service was good..!

Update: Visited again, and this time around, we had a couple of Drinks and Appetizers. Chicken Satay was a little dry, but the Pot Stickers were great

Perfect local pub, right near the courthouse. The food is great (try the chili-lime wings, bahn mi, and sweet potato fries), the service is excellent, and good, local atmosphere. Live music, improv jams, trivia, and more on the schedule.

Looked for a Gastropub in the area to go for lunch on a cold, rainy April day. Stumbled upon this local gem.
The decor was a bit dark but the service was fantastic and the food was fresh and delicious.

The poutine fries are served with pickled jalapeños which brought a fresh pop of flavor to a classic savory snack. I ordered the crispy chicken sandwich with a side Caesar salad and both were absolutely delicious.
