Sidetracks Restaurant & Lounge

The place has cleaned up. You can see that from the outside. It has a nice-looking atmosphere. But this place needs to tone it down with the attitude. You get hassled at the door. They try too hard to make the place look exclusive. The hostess made a sarcastic comment after she failed to be there to greet us: ""What, you think you can just seat yourselves?"" Rude. Annoying.\r \r The food itself isn't worth the price they charge. My French-styled chicken was so dry. \r \r This is not the real Sunnyside. If you want real, good food, go to the neighboring restaurants for a meal worth the money and people who genuinely appreciate your patronage. Pros: nice decor Cons: rude, flaky hostess more

I recently moved to Woodside, Queens from Brooklyn and was looking for a local place to go out with my girls on Friday nights. We usually hang out in the city, but we are tired of the lines, crowds, expensive drinks, etc. My friends said they ised to go to Sidetracks years ago. I went one night with one of my friends at 2am after hitting a restaurant in Astoria. Kudos to the DJ- music kept us moving. I love hip hop, reggaeton and any type of dance music with a good beat actually. And the DJ played our songs all night long. I am having a Christmas dinner at my apartment with all of my girls this Friday 12/22 and the 12 of us will be heading over to Sidetracks at midnight to continue to party! Pros: DJ, music, barstaff, friendly doorstaff/bouncers Cons: late opening, not promoted enough on Fridays more

I go to this bar like every other weekend, and the people are great, great times great atmosphere.....love the music as well, and the women that go here are very HOT. more

Wanna be Queens hall. Used to be a Great place BEFORE the IRISH DIASPORA of 2002-004. This is part of a couple of bars's that used to be excellent during the heyday of sunnyside-but that has ended. Now it is just a thug bar with local paid out protection- Not worth your money nor the extra spanish lessons now required. Still a good joint on Derby Day for some strange reason. more

I've eaten in Sidetrack's on numerous occassions. I LOVE the food. I've gone with groups of 3 - 15 people on different days & times and never heard one complaint. The menu is a little limited but everything is fresh and delicious. As for the night club, I went on a Saturday night a few weeks ago. The music is pretty good Hip-Hop, R&B, dance music and very few techno songs. The crowd is very mixed so you really have to see for yourself. I wouldn't mind going back, but not every weekend and I'd go with a group, not just 1 or 2 people. Definitely check out the restaurant, take a chance on the club. Pros: Great food, Plenty of Parking Cons: Wait to be seated more

I read with disgust the review with the heading sidecraps.This disgruntled person is so far of base with their review that i had to set matters straight. a group of my friends and myself are in sidetracks every saturday night, and have never had a bad time. OK its gets busy but thats the fun of being in a nightclub.The crowd is mixed, the drinks are fairly priced for a nightclub and the DJs play a good selection of music.If this person had a bad time its their own fault.PS not everybody is a lowlife more

What a dump!! I realise now that the only people giving this place good reviews are the same lowlives that make the club a disgusting combination of awful music, a scene out of a filthy rap video, and an environment that makes you wonder why they don't have metal detectors at the door. The place is darn right scary! This locale is all ghetto'd out, a combination of Corona, Washington Heights and Hell! Avoid at all costs! Pros: Nice space Cons: Crowded, Lowlives, Scary more

Have been going to Sidetracks for over 4 years and while the food has always been exceptional, the crowd that started hanging out there in the last year is dragging the place to hell. It turned into a ghetto hangout on Saturday and Friday nights ... shame really as it was one of the few places in the area that was good. Hell .. even Blooms down the block has picked up on this and has been more selective at the door. Save your $$$ Pros: Good Food, Nice Place, Good Prices Cons: Pretty Poor Service, Ghetto more
