Sideline Sports Bar & Grill, nestled in the heart of South San Jose at 7028 Santa Teresa Blvd, is more than just your average neighborhood hangout—it’s a vibrant spot where sports, great food, and lively entertainment converge. This bustling sports bar offers a diverse menu that caters to hearty appetites and adventurous palates alike, making it an ideal destination for those craving bold flavors alongside their game-day excitement.
The menu at Sideline Sports Bar & Grill is a playful yet robust celebration of American comfort food with a creative twist. Signature dishes like the Brisket Poutine tempt with tender, smoky brisket layered over golden, crispy fries smothered in rich gravy and melting cheese curds—a perfect meld of textures and savory depth. For those who prefer handheld delights, the lineup of wraps (Buffalo, Ranch, Southwestern, and BBQ Chicken) priced around $15-$16 each, promises a delightful blend of smoky, tangy, and spicy notes wrapped in warm, soft tortillas.
Beyond wraps, the variety of inventive burgers and sandwiches adds even more to the experience. The Philly Burger, loaded tots named The Looney Bin, and playful offerings like The Impossible and Get Shorty showcase Sideline’s knack for pushing culinary boundaries while still feeling familiar and comforting. If you’re looking for a perfect sidekick to your meal, don’t miss the Cowabunga Stix or WingALings—crispy, well-seasoned, and utterly addictive.
Complementing the rich dishes is an impressive drink selection. From smooth Scotches and classic Vodkas to festive Cinco de Mayo specials and a creative lineup of shots and mimosas, the bar caters perfectly to those looking to unwind or celebrate. The presence of tequila and Jameson shots adds a spirited edge that matches the lively atmosphere Sideline aims to cultivate.

Just a friendly neighborhood bar. A good place to have drink and socialize with friends.
I used to live near there in 2015-2016 so I remember how it was then. It was a really fun, popular place then. Lots of camaraderie, patrons and staff. It's bigger now but clearly not as popular. No one was playing pool or darts, actually only about 15 patrons in the whole place. The bartenders are not very friendly, they seemed kind of bored. Very subdued atmosphere.
Going through major renovations right now but am looking forward to our new and completely new bar and grill. Bar and grill are open during this time with outside seating and heaters.
Sideline Grill (Bernal): I ordered 1 french fries (gotta feed that craving) $6.47 ( tax included): The Good: Fries were perfectly done crispy on the outside and velvety on the inside. Hot and plenty. Last time I had fries, this good was in Mikonos (something about seaside restaurants..OOPS.. I digress). Fries were not over/under done, stayed crispy 20 mins in. How?!? The NotSoGood: After ordering the fries, I noticed their lunch specials, $10 fries included (what?!?). At least 5 options from which to choose, all including fries. DARN!DARN!!DARN!! "I'll be Back!!" Take Away: Survey the menue/Specials first before ordering...wish I did. DARN!
This was our first time here for a business meeting. One of our associates told us about s magnificent band called "Texas Fun" that was playing tonight. We ordered the Triple Play and Lasagna. It was delicious!! One of the best meals that we ever had in Modesto. Very impressed and pleased. Music was awesome. This band played Country, Spanish, Classical & a little bit of everything. Wow!!! Amazing musicians!!. One of the drummers was from New York. We normally do not stay until the end but we fell in love with this band!! Coming back next week!!!
Finally a hometown bar where the people, the venue, the ambience, and everything overall makes you feel like you’re here with family. My first time there during the weekend I was recommended the bar by a friend Mike. There was food, lots of games on the TV’s, amazing drinks and some sweet folks that showed me the ropes. This is their fav bar and that of their dear late friend I was grateful to hear about. No wonder it’s their favorite, Ashley was a great bartender and host, the other Ashley was nice too! It was kind of like going to that bar from Cheers. Papas Kitchen was open, there’s tons of space with pool tables as well and different options of seating. Great place to grab a bite, watch a game, hang out with your crew, reunite with old friends, new friends, and so much more. Will come visit again soon, good times!
