About

Sidedoor

Features
Read full description

Sidedoor is your way in to the places worth going. Guest lists, restaurant reservations, skip the queue, and members only events, in one app. Discover clubs, bars, restaurants and one-off events happening near you. Book a table or add yourself to a guest list in a couple of taps. Show your QR code at the door and walk in. Some nights are busy. Some rooms are full. Sidedoor uses a virtual currency called Keys to help you get past both, whether that is jumping the queue on a busy Friday or securing entry when a venue is at capacity. What you can do: Join guest lists at participating venues. QR at the door, no printouts. Book restaurant tables and manage them from your phone. Get access to members only events and one off experiences. Skip the queue at busy venues by spending Keys. Earn rewards every time you go out. Send a Sidedoor gift voucher to a friend who needs somewhere to be. Memberships: Free: guest list bookings, rewards, and a small stack of Keys to start you off. No card needed. Premium at 149 GBP a year: higher priority when a room is filling up, exclusive events, an AI concierge to help plan the night, and a monthly top up of Keys. Premium Plus at 999 GBP a year: the deepest access, top priority on the door, double reward points, and hundreds of Keys to smooth the evening. Where it works: Sidedoor is live at participating clubs, bars, restaurants and event venues. New places join often, so open the app to see what is on this weekend near you. Privacy: Location is only used when you want the app to show what is nearby. Notifications only fire for alerts you have said yes to. Both can be turned off any time from your device settings. For support, tap the menu inside the app or head to www.thesidedoor.co.
