noun
-
An area in a courtroom near the judge’s bench where lawyers may be called to speak with the judge so that the jury cannot hear the conversation and/or they may speak off the record.
-
A modern bar and restaurant located in the iconic NE Minneapolis landmark, Surdyk’s. A neighborhood spot serving thoughtful food and drink, with seasonally rotating menus showcasing the best ingredients available in the adjoining retail spaces. The kind of place where conversations are, as in a courtroom setting, always considered strictly off the record.
SURDYK'S has been keeping the Twin Cities in good spirits since 1934. We invite you to experience our newest venture, Sidebar.
​
Situated in the back corner of our flagship store on University and East Hennepin in Northeast Minneapolis, Sidebar serves up lunch and dinner—plus snacks for afternoon and late-night dining. The food menu is complemented by a frequently changing beverage program featuring a wide selection of classic & offbeat wines—all available by the glass or bottle, twelve taps of local beers, and expertly crafted cocktails.
​
Owned and operated by the fourth generation of the Surdyk family, Sidebar offers the very best of what we know and love in a warm, sophisticated setting. We look forward to serving you.
