Sidekick's Entertainment Lounge & Restaurant

Strung with festive lighting that gives the space a classic Midwestern feel, this Northwest Side lounge runs on loose, unpretentious energy. The soundtrack shifts by the hour under rotating karaoke DJs who steer an unpredictable run of tracks from the floor. Beyond the singing, visitors drift into the dart room, lean on reasonably priced drinks on tap, and order baskets of fries from the kitchen as the room fills during late-night industry rushes.
