Located on the first floor of Driscoll North, Sideline’s Pub is tucked into the corner closest to Sturm. With a front door from Driscoll and a back from the parking lot located across the street from the new education building construction, the pub has two clear paths to the counter to order. On one side a stage, with some tables and booths, and the other tables, bar seating, two pool tables and a foosball table. TVs are located on both sides but silent, giving way to music ranging from NKOTB, New Kids On The Block, to country-pop crossover songs to rock. As the name suggests, the design is that of a sports bar with beer paraphernalia and jerseys/uniforms all around. A warm yellow and maroon feeling with wood trim and tables offers a comfortable place to meet and eat.
This Monday was oddly slow in the pub, with the usual five workers on, in the 45 minutes I have been here there have only been eight customers including myself, all ordering to be eaten here. The first two to arrive after myself were a male and female, appearing to be on a date of sorts, though not showing any affection. They took a table near the counter, but next to a pole, offering seclusion from the rest of the pub. The next two to arrive were both females, alone. They each took booths to do homework, and again with the size of the booths, seclusion was achieved. Finally, the last three arrived together, a couple and a second girl. I knew the male of the group and we had a brief exchange while the girls went and took a booth, and began to do homework.
Everyone who entered the pub used the front doors from Driscoll and with the exception of myself took a seat on the stage side of the pub, almost seeming to try and achieve seclusion. With the exception of the possible date, everyone else brought out work to do while waiting for, and consuming their food, including myself. Also, everyone elected to eat in the pub, rather ordering to go.
