A Private Club for the Texas Trial Bar · Dallas

Where Texas lawyers prep, depose, try, and unwind.

Four minutes from the George Allen. Private deposition suites, a working courtroom with a one-way-glass observation room, day offices for visiting counsel — and a bar that understands what verdict week feels like. This is not coworking. This is chambers.

The Sidebar

Leather, brass, walnut, eight screens, Texas draft taps, and a patio. A members-only third place for the trial bar — no clients, no opposing counsel, no pitch decks.

The Crown Jewel

Try it here before you try it there.

A working courtroom, dimensioned and finished to feel like the real Dallas County article — jury box, bench, witness stand, counsel tables, gallery.
One-way-glass observation suite for focus groups, client viewing, and jury consultants — mic’d, recorded, time-coded.
Mock trials, moot arguments, witness prep under real conditions: podium pressure, objection rhythm, the walk to the well.
Trial-week blocks — take the courtroom and the war room together and run your whole trial out of the club.

Location

Proximity is the product.

Dallas County files more civil suits than almost any county in Texas, and its trial bar orbits a tight cluster of courthouses every working day. SIDEBAR sits inside the ten-minute ring — book a room next to where you already have to be.
