Sideways Bar: Reviews & Ratings
The best bar I've ever been to! Katie was an amazing server. Cheap drinks great atmosphere. Would go again evertime
Great dive bar!! Amazing owner!!
I absolutely love this place. I go regularly. When I first moved to El cajon I was looking for my local watering hole and I definitely found it. They have the best prices in town and they really care about their customers. Even on a Friday night they will check in with their patrons to make sure they're having a good and safe night. You really feel atmosphere here. Misty is one of the best mixologist I've ever met and she really knows how to make you feel welcome. Definitely give this place a go and enjoy. (Just like me!)

Great staff.. great drinks
THANK YOU CINDY I won 466 in my first try gambling. Good luck to anyone returning or first visiting. I passed by here while getting my cars windows tinted and I would never regret the comfy environment they introduced me in. Served the special they had on the board and beers I was happy with entering and leaving. The taco shop next door served me rolled tacos fast so If your hungry that’s Chill served liquor is available. Games like Pool and table tennis or ping pong are at the ready with regulars. A lot of hugs I notice. Small but cozy with food on the side Zen
