Do you like burgers?  Do you like beer?  How about burgers with beer?

That’s the unassailable premise behind the semi-regular Beer & Burger Tasting series at Frenchie’s, the bar adjoining the venerable Sidetrack Bar & Grill in Ypsilanti’s Depot Town.

The series is the brainchild of Sidetrack event planner Jessica Jane French and Besnik Aliko of Rave Associates, a local beer and wine distributor.

RATED #16 WORLDWIDE!

The Sidetrack is a train themed establishment with a casual, lively atmosphere and a tasty menu - including award winning burgers and sides of fried pickles (yum!). Located right next to a railroad track, it is a unique experience to be there when a train rumbles past.  Customers often raise their glasses in a toast to the departing train.  It is fun to read and look at the articles and photos on the walls - including several of historic interest, especially the day a train got too close and hit the building! ...More

SINGHA Great Bars of the World

It's been a little over a year since my last Sidetrack review, and in that time I've eaten roughly 12,384 meals and drank an equal amount of cheap Happy Hour drinks.  The best complete package when it comes to the Ypsi bar/restaurant scene. ...More

For Jessica Jane French Ypsilanti is less about what bar scenes are worth checking out and more about being invited to the latest underground cultural event.  That's Ypsi.  If you're plugged in, you'll find cool people and parties in the most unexpected places. ...More

I'd never been there, and was expecting your typical bar and grill, but I was very pleasantly surprised by a lovely place with an outdoor patio (where we ate) and good food. ...More

SouthEast Michigan Slow Food Review

Without question, one of my favorite places in the entire world is Sidetrack Bar & Grill. There has been a bar at this location since the mid- to late-1800s, with early incarnations catering to railroad workers.  Frenchies is right next door, and is used as overflow for the Sidetrack crowd or private functions.  The Sidetrack has high ceilings, a warm fireplace roaring in the winter months and an outside patio to enjoy in the summer time.  Pretty much anything you order here is absolutely delicious. ...More

Epic Portions

Last night the girlfriend and I headed over to Sidetrack Bar & Grill , which I like to call God' s gift to Ypsilanti, for a beer and mini-burger tasting.  They had five pairings of beer and a selected food item.  If they had these things weekly I would be there.  In fact, if they had them every day I would probably be there at least 5 out of 7 days.  Great beer, all of it local, food, and music. ...More

Epic Portions

Sidetrack was delicious and worth the trip.  The atmosphere was great and it's worth a trip to Ypsilanti.  Our bill was just over $27 even with a $6 drink.  I'm glad we went a little out of our way to find this gem in a historic part of Ypsilanti. ...More
