Great band when I was there. I did not have a table so I had to go to the bar to get drinks. Now the line was 5 or 6 deep so thats cool. Problem was they allowed people to but in line which is uncool and the line is where the waitresses need to get there drinks. I was told I could not get drinks there and asked where I could to who I think was the lead bouncer and the same person said right here. They need to have a place for those that dont have a table or are sitting at the bar can get served without getting in the helps way or other peoples way. They also should not allow others to but in line because some people dont take kindly to that disrespect and could cause a problem. If its a good band the place is small. The people there are what I would describe as hipster type snowflakes. If you want to get a little loud and have fun there are better options at the bridge on 176 or down the street at the turn by the river. If your fresh to the drinking age this is your place but if your experiencedot so much.

Nothing but praise for this food, bar, sports complex. Unassuming from the entrance of Sideouts, you enter into a very pleasant bar area with lots of room at the bar and plenty of dining tables, tall and short! We have been there primarily during lunchtime, during the week. The menu has a glorious selection and their Specials are mind-boggling. Weve enjoyed burgers, pot roast meals, salads, shrimp tacos, Chicken Vesuvio, and enormous BLTs (hubbys favorite). Everything has been delicious. They also have bowling, seasonal beach volleyball, an outdoor patio and bar, and live entertainment on weekends. But wait--there is probably more. Lots of parking. Go and have fun!

Stopped in for the fish boil on friday at 4:30 a month ago, every table had a reserved sign but no one sitting at any of them and the wife cant sit on bar stools after a back surgery. Forgot all about regular customers for a one night party. We left. Then we stopped in again last saturday, around 4;00, we eat early, we were the only table being used and one guy sitting at the bar, someone turns the jukebox way up where we had to yell to each other, we got up to move and the waitress said she could turn it down, that lasted 1 minute and someone else started turning it back up, this was 4 pm not 10 or 12 pm with a crowded bar. Time to find a new fish fry restaurant.

Small venue, but totally has cool and even psychadelic bands that play. The drinks are pretty cheap, and pretty weak. Go Figure. They have a kick butt outdoor patio area for smokers or those who need a breath of fresh air - love the openness of the entire establishment. The crowd is a mixed batch from hippies, to bikers, to people who should have left the bar days behind 30+ years ago. It is definitely a coin toss as to what kind of folks you will meet - but fun will be had regardless. Try it out if you have never been.

With an attached bowling alley and 5 volleyball courts, theres a little something for everyone here. Staff are attentive and friendly. There are call tournaments and concerts throughout the summer. Not a bad place to grab a beer and hang out with friends.

King Nothing

Fantastic pub food, super friendly service, quick service and the best place around to go watch a Chicago sports team, or one of your favorite bands on the weekends! The outdoor patio is insane, especially the fire table and the outdoor cabana bar!

Have been to this place a handful of times over the years and have always walked away loving this place. Its truly more of an entertainment center than bar. Live music, outside bars, fireplaces, sand lots for volleyball. Phil Vassar Live 8/25

Great bar. Has indoor and outdoor bars, weather permitted. Has games and stuff inside. Live bands/karaoke outside. And they also host volleyball league games there. Great time for the whole family. Plenty of parking also. Nice staff too

Nice hangout, great outdoor area Food took a long time to get, fries were cold and my club was about 8 inches high. They used like 3pcs of the Greek bread. Ill be back. Want to try and get them to 5 stars

Great sports bar with good food. They have lots of screens to watch the games and 2 dart machines. It also has a bowling ally attached to it and an outdoor volleyball court for the summer months.

Awesome place, ample outdoor seating. Killer specials including $1 pints of Rolling Rock & $12 2# buckets of delicious ribs on Thursdays! Straight up fall of the bone heaven.....

Randi Mancini

Love the place. Line bands every weekend. Food is good catering too. Plus the outdoor patio and volleyball is awesome. Bowlings a plus! So much to do. A great place to hang out.

Dori Squires

The cheese curds are better than anywhere in Wisconsin!! Moscow mules are tasty and strong! Such a fun place to hang out on the deck, watch volleyball and listen to music!!!

Jessica Castro

Had a blast watching volleyball, drinks good. Only issue was with the swarms of bees, Im allergic so was trying to keep away from them the whole time.

Server got our order wrong Food was okay bartenders couldve been more attentive instead of talking to other staff members about nothing work related

Michael Yerushalmi

Really cool place. Somewhat of a hidden gem in the tiny town of Island Lake. Driving by you would not believe how big it is.

Sideouts has a laid back feel at home atmosphere. People are very friendly, good food, good times! Bring the family!

Amanda Schwank

Randy Weber

Nice bar with great entertainment and volleyball. Bartenders are terrible if they are even a little busy.
