About The Side Lot

Established in 2015, The Side Lot is redefining suburban bar culture with world-class technique, thoughtful storytelling, and a spirit of rebellion that’s anything but ordinary.

Led by restaurateur Brittany Barth and Master Mixologist + Sommelier Phil Castello, we’ve become Wauconda’s go-to destination for elevated casual dining and innovative craft cocktails.

From our famed SmashBurgers and flavorful small plates to curated pairing dinners and a bold bar program, everything we do reflects craft, care, and character.

Whether you’re sipping cocktails fireside, competing in outdoor curling, or joining one of our year-round events, The Side Lot is all about high standards without the pretense.

Always approachable. Never fussy.

Booking a Party or Private Event?
The Side Lot can accommodate groups of up to 60 people year-round or 150 people in the summer.

We offer semi-private and private events, beer & cocktail tastings and classes.
