Great space and vibe with tasty beers! They have a daily happy hour with $6 beers and free wifi. They place gets packed on the weekends (especially during happy hour) so there may be a wait but you can still get bar service (can be a bit slow). The upstairs is beautiful to floor to ceiling windows overlooking the river. Parking lot gets packed so might think of street parking and walking over.

Still dreaming about their crunchy deep dish pizza. Unique and delicious. Atmosphere was great, service was even better. Run don't walk!

A damn fine place to go for a pint and good food! The variety of beers - each made by Sidekick alone or in collaboration with other local breweries - is impressive, as is the wide range of flavour profiles from stouts to IPAs. The food is equally impressive, able to please all comers! From roasted potatoes with your choice of toppings and sauce, to the handful of pan pizzas each more delicious than the last. The casual riverside atmosphere is a selling point as well, with double seating during warmer days thanks to the large double-tiered patio set-up. Not to mention that the staff are all knowledgeable, kind and chill as can be! It makes for a wonderful evening out - and the prices are all well-matched for the quality you get! I whole-heartedly recommend Sidekick Brewing!

What A SANDWICH! I had the bahn mi - and it was huge, i wish I had put my hand in the photo for reference, but the value was through the roof. Great beers, modern atmosphere with high celings ambient lighting, ans lots of windows. A great looking patio albiet I was inside. I had a flight on the coolest little flight board, looked like a mini table. Friendly and helpful staff was the cherry on top of my experience!!

This pizza changed my life - the entire outside of the deep dish section is crusted cheese and the beer is good too but the pizza steals the show!
