Sidebar Uptown Dallas

I went on Friday night which was African night. The music was pretty good. There's a clear attempt to upsell and add charges in hopes to capitalize on drunkenness. The hostesses were pretty unwelcoming? The venue is fairly dirty, even when no one is there. The valley parking is absolutely terrible. Overall it's a pretty bad experience I'm very few people are dancing, however if you're just here to party with friends then you might be able to enjoy your time.

I booked a section in advance in January. I was never told by anyone that we all had to pay an additional amount just to get into the club. I will not be going back, a complete scam. The man at the front was aggressive. When I told the lady about it, she said the man at the front should’ve never did that. There should be communication between the people outside asking for money for wristbands and the people booking the sections. The place was a vibe but other than that, the people working there are rude.

I experienced racism from the customers, not the staff. A girl and her friend walked up to me and asked me a million questions, and we were having fun chatting and dancing for a while. She asked me if I had a business card and I did. Her: "Good, that's good because my friends think you're a cop." I don't think I look like a cop at all! An hour later she told me I should go because there was some guys talking about beating me up. For no reason at all! I was the only Caucasian in the club, and I was singled out for no reason at all.

This place is a fraud! They attempt to get you drunk then they tell you that you have more bottles when they know that you don’t. They don’t ask you they tell you!!!!!! When you dispute they just sssure you you do and at the end of the night your left with a bill that has a ridiculous up charge on it. Their practices are insane. The cutter at this club is to get you drunk and up sell you items that you didn’t order. BEWARE!!!! Don’t go to this club. SCAMMERS

Pretty packed on a Saturday night. We got a section which ended up being in the back near the men's restroom. The section seems like it's cut off from the rest of the club. You can't hear the music where we were located. The section was small, the mixers were watered down when we received them. The hostess we had was super cool, wish I could remember her name. Would've been a 5 star experience with a better section.

WE WERE ROBBED BY THE STAFF!!! Came here for a birthday celebration and we were robbed by the staff. A bill of $3500 for drinks we never ordered! After trying to contact the management they said they had gotten rid of video surveillance. DO NOT GO HERE IF YOU CARE ABOUT YOUR HARD EARNED MONEY! Ridiculous

Not sure what happened here, new management? New owners? This place has really gone downhill. Gone are the sexy go-go dancers and good music. The dress code and door policy seems to be gone as well, and its painfully obvious before you even walk in. The strong smell of marijuana and slow, mumble rap music blares out into the street. Loud, angry ghetto people and thugs standing out front and filling up the patio space. Its seems the new policy is let anyone in. The new crowd doesn't actually book tables or buy drinks, so all the tables were empty, but there is literally no wait at the bar which is good. Some nights they have a Mexican Latin night and don't advertise which nights, so you will show up and get charged a cover fee, and not realize until after you enter that its 95% Spanish speakers, half-empty and the entire staff is replaced by non-English speaking workers. Most nights, its thug rap non-stop, less than a minute each song. We've tried several times to keep giving this place a chance, but we'll likely never go back. The new crowd they are attracting and accommodating just aren't our cup of tea or scene. This used to be one of our favorite places to frequent on the weekends. The pictures and social media posts sadly do not reflect what you actually see currently at the club on any given weekend. Not recommended. Original Review - October 2017 We had a wonderful time here. The music was fantastic, the bar staff was fast and served excellent drinks at a reasonable price. Club and door staff was very courteous and friendly, restrooms were immaculate all night. The go-go dancers and wait staff were all gorgeous, and the bottle service was a show all on its own to witness. Crowd was full of well-to-do, attractive and stylish clientele. Dress to impress and arrive early or you might not get in. Book your table or get on a guest list in advance, as the place fills up fast and gets very busy. We will definitely be back. Highly recommended.

Security tried to charge me $80 to get in because of a “dress code fee” lmao I’ didn’t have a back on my shoes it’s small, the music is awful, high for nothing everything there is a waste of time i think it’s a African club not sure

Fantastic servers, great security, awesome ambiance. It would be nice if it had more space, but it is not a big deal. If you look for a good party spot uptown particularly on Tuesdays, this is your place

ATTENTION!!!! ONE OF THE WORST BARS I HAVE BEEN. DO NOT TRY TO GO. ASBOLUTELY MISERABLE ATENTION, DISCUSTING MUSIC AND HORRIBLE DRINKS. I FELT DISCRIMINATED AT THE ENTRY AS WELL. NEVER EVER COME HERE!!!
