Sweeping the Streets

Sweetwater Café, Sidebar, Sissy K’s – January 8, 2008
Group Size ~ 30, 40, 50

Ambience –
Sweetwater -- Quiet right after work with the downstairs completely empty but dedicated (for free) to ABC.
Sidebar -- Small bar with a crap load of young professionals and Suffolk law students after work. Sissy K’s – By the time we arrived around 9:00, the place was filled with dorky karaoke singers, jerky stock brokers, and crazy dancing girls.

Bottom Line – All options were very reasonable with three bars totaling less than $20 spent including drinks and dinner. Best bang for the buck is Sidebar’s $2.00 Buds and 10 cent wings.

Cheers to - Everyone wearing blue leis. The walks between the bars. The first ever ABC Crawl! Jeers to - Sissy K’s blatantly lying to us about reserving the top floor! Sidebar’s tight quarters.

Overall Rating


Ashley says… All three bars were fun in their own way. I liked the chill atmosphere at Sweetwater, the fun after work crowd at Sidebars and the dancing at Sissy K’s. Would definitely be up for another pub crawl!

Leslie says… The ABC bar crawl was adventurous and fun and I loved seeing our group take over the bar with blue leis on. However, I’d much prefer to belly up at one bar and stay the evening. Sweetwater was as it always is – a sweet time with some good pub grub. Sidebar was rocking and very packed, but the table tops of beer and 10 cent wings won be over immediately. I will definitely be back. Sissy K’s was a fun last stop and much needed dance party. Cheap beer and good music was my favorite, the staff and bouncers left much to be desired.

Jessica says… Going to these three bars in one night reminded me of my earlier working days when the downtown area bar crawl was a normal Thursday night. Accordingly, the clientele of these three bars fit with my memories and luckily, so did the price. It was a fun night with a little bit of everything, but far too many suits cutting loose for my liking.
