Support the independent voice of Phoenix and help keep the future of New Times free.
The true test of any bar's popularity isn't if it's crowded on Friday or Saturday (every place is like that), but rather if it's just as busy on an off night like Sunday. Based upon the amount of people that crammed themselves inside SideBar during Retro Hi-Fi on Sunday, December 18, the stylish second-floor cocktail lounge is plenty popular.
People turned out to witness hip-hop vocalist Amani Jae on the mic, dk.strickler and other DJs on the decks, get in some photo-bombing, or perhaps to just make the scene. Whatever their reasons for being there, everyone in the house was happy to let us snap their pictures for this week's Club Candids slideshow.
Keep Phoenix New Times Free... Since we started Phoenix New Times, it has been defined as the free, independent voice of Phoenix, and we would like to keep it that way. Offering our readers free access to incisive coverage of local news, food and culture. Producing stories on everything from political scandals to the hottest new bands, with gutsy reporting, stylish writing, and staffers who've won everything from the Society of Professional Journalists' Sigma Delta Chi feature-writing award to the Casey Medal for Meritorious Journalism. But with local journalism's existence under siege and advertising revenue setbacks having a larger impact, it is important now more than ever for us to rally support behind funding our local journalism. You can help by participating in our "I Support" membership program, allowing us to keep covering Phoenix with no paywalls.
