The servers and bartender were incredibly attentive and focused on making sure we really enjoyed the drinks and food. The type of wings my son ordered were too spicy for him (wonderful for us to take home for another family member - just too spicy for him), and they were so kind to bring out extra without the spice so that he didn't leave hungry. Wonderful evening, with very friendly live music. We will definitely be back!

We always enjoy V pizza and wings, but my first time going for just the sidebar experience. Cool/unique cocktails, and really enjoyed the christmas/holiday themed space for the holidays. We had a great girls night out here. Our bartender was amazing as well! Great service. Will be back

Came here with two friends and we had such a fun time! It was decorated very cute for Christmas. Attached to V Pizza. Our bartender Dan was wonderful! Super friendly and made us some stellar dessert drinks. So creative! We tried both ones with alcohol and without, since my friend was pregnant. The mocktail was the best one we’ve ever had. It was a mocha caramel drink that tasted like a milkshake, and he just made it up as he went! Also had the chocolate mousse which was great.

I celebrated my 40th birthday at the Side Door a couple of weeks ago and it was THE BEST. The space was reserved for me and my guests (~35ish people total), food was delicious and catered by V Pizza, staff were very attentive and checked in with me throughout the evening, plus the drinks were wonderful. All my guests kept complementing the venue. Thank you for making this special birthday amazing!

This place is AMAZING!!!!!! Okay first of all the bartender was incredibly helpful and creative coming up with individual delicious cocktails and mocktails. It’s so difficult finding a place that does good mocktails but Dan nailed it!

New craft cocktail bar right in Cary. Side Door has a wide selection of quality signature cocktails, something for everyone. I tried the Doctor's Orders, wasn't sure about the vanilla almond cream but found it very tasty. Everyone tried something different and all were happy with their choice. Indoor bar side seating is limited but there is plenty of outdoor patio seating.

Just found out about this place. Love it. We had a craft cocktail from the menu, a glass of wine, and an old fashioned. It was a rainy day so we couldn't sit outside but great atmosphere. Come in through the "side door". Ordered a salad pizza .. very good! We'll be back!
