Side Street Set to Open New Location in Jianguomen

After months of delays -- the oringal plan was to open back at the end of March, but this was pushed back thanks to Covid-related delays -- Side Street is finally set to open a new location not far from Guomao in Jianguomen, with their official soft opening to begin this Saturday, Jul 9 at noon.

Located behind Nola, just south of Ritan Park, their north entrance boasts a large terrace area that’s the perfect spot for catching some afternoon rays. Step inside and you’re greeted by the telltale Side Street sign and signature Side Street scene -- a squatting guy with a squatting burger. To the right is their large seating area, with smaller tables up at the front and a line of larger tables along the far right side set against a strip of plush leather couches set against the wall. 

The focal point of the whole room is a large sleek, square bar that sits right in the center.  The open space and layout creates a very inclusive feeling and you can already tell that it’s going to be an especially great setup for a bit of mingling.

On the south side they have what will become a second terrace area, complete with an outside bar. However, they are currently still waiting for the renovations to be finished so unfortunately this might not be available until next spring.
