More than a membership.
A community.

They're the people who believe a great night out is about more than what's in the glass. They believe in supporting local artists, discovering new music, trying something unfamiliar, welcoming new faces, and helping create the kind of atmosphere that makes strangers feel like regulars.

If By The Wayside feels like your kind of place, we'd love to welcome you.

What is a Waysider?

The Waysiders aren't just a membership list. We're creating a community where people actually get to know one another, and where everyone has a hand in making By The Wayside the kind of place people want to belong to.

Come curious and open. Listen when an artist is sharing something with the room. Bring your weird ideas. Be kind. Give a damn.

The Waysider Spirit

Community isn't something we can manufacture behind the bar. It happens when people decide to participate in it.
