The Heart of the Rockies Chamber of Commerce is thrilled to recognize High Side! Bar and Grill as our March Business of the Month. A few months ago, former employees Hallie Whittington and Johnny Shepard joined forces to become the proud owners of High Side! Bar & Grill. Together, they have maintained a welcoming late-night spot for both Salida locals and visitors, offering a great mix of delicious food, refreshing drinks, live music, and more.
High Side! Bar & Grill has something for everyone. Whether you’re into trivia night every Wednesday at 6 pm, enjoying live music on the weekends, or getting creative at craft night, it’s the perfect place to unwind.
This friendly neighborhood bar also actively supports local businesses by hosting fundraising events, and they are passionate about causes that are near and dear to their hearts, such as our river community, youth sports, and the outdoor lifestyle that we all cherish so much in this community.
Looking ahead to the summer, they’re excited to provide a space to gather for music, good food, cold drinks, and community. They are excited to keep the heart of High Side! and add their own touch to this beautiful community. Stop by High Side! Bar & Grill at 300 W Sacketts Ave, or visit them online at highsidesalida.com or on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/HighSideSalida/. @high_side_bar_and_grill
