Heads up, friends. High Side will be closing early today at 6 PM for a private party.

Thank you for your understanding as we host this special event. If you are planning to stop by, please come see us before 6 PM.

We appreciate your support and look forward to welcoming you back during regular hours soon.

Asian Glow is back 🌸✨

We are excited to collaborate with our good friends @lostgenbrewing and @asianfestivalonmain on this special release, created to celebrate identity, community, and AAPI heritage ❤️

This 5.5% ABV sour ale is brewed with dragon fruit, Alphonso mango, plum, and passion fruit, Asian Glow 2.0 is a bright, fruit-forward sour ale inspired by something many Asians know well. Asian Glow, also known as alcohol flush reaction, is a genetic variation that affects almost exclusively East Asian descendants. Yes, some of us turn red after a sip of beer 😳 Instead of hiding it or feeling ashamed of it, we are choosing to celebrate it with pride and joy.

This beer is a toast to our AAPI families, friends, and allies, and to the beauty of embracing what makes us who we are 🌏🍻

Even better, @lostgenbrewing is donating 10% of proceeds from Asian Glow 2.0 to support Asian Festival on Main 🙏

4-packs are now available at High Side, and you can also find it on draft in the Beer & Karaoke Garden during AFM 2026 this Sunday 5/17 from 11am to 6pm.

This coming Tuesday, May 12, join us at High Side for a special edition of our weekly wine tasting featuring Jean-Emmanuel Julien of Pomerols, France.

Cold sesame noodles on a hot Wednesday just make sense.

Chilled noodles coated in a rich, nutty sesame sauce with garlic, vinegar, soy, cucumber, and just enough brightness to keep every bite feeling light, savory, and deeply satisfying. It is the kind of dish that cools you down without giving up any flavor. Simple, comforting, and exactly what a warm day calls for.
