Sid's Pubs, Bangsar

Sid's Pub Bangsar South opened its doors in May 2009 to a large number of thirsty residents. More spacious than the first Sid's in TTDI, this pub is a popular venue for larger events. It has also become a base for many, including the 'Swingers' who take over a section of the pub each week for a spot of toe-tapping, body swinging fandango. As for those committed to the art of shooting the breeze in the company of spirited friends and palliative beverages, you may like to know that next to Sid's Pub Bangsar South is a cosy little florist's that's become very good at providing conciliatory "Forgive-Me-I'm-Late" bouquets for a small, but worthwhile, fee.

History:

Sid’s Pubs are neighbourhood British pubs serving up good, hearty British pub grub and fresh, cold drink in a welcoming and friendly atmosphere. No nonsense, no pretensions and no gimmicks. Deliberately small and intimate, Sid’s Pubs are dotted around a variety of neighbourhoods, the idea being to provide a convivial feeding and watering hole close to home for residents of the area. Community is a word we feel strongly about and we believe it’s important to be part of it, and to give back to it. To this end we also do our best to get stuck into as many community projects as possible.

The first Sid’s Pub opened in 2007, others following suit in close succession. The man behind the Sid’s Pubs group is Sid, also known as Geoff Siddle — and Dad. A straight-up, no-nonsense man himself, he has the uncanny ability to create outlets that quickly fill up with happy, friendly people having a great time together. The Sid’s Pubs family is his special baby; driven by passion and brought about after years of thought and planning.

There are no big advertisements, no big banners, no shouting across the rooftops about Sid’s but, for all this reticence, we are big in substance and atmosphere. You’ll find that Sid’s Pubs, nestled quietly and unobtrusively in their individual neighbourhoods, are bursting with life. Under their Sid’s Pub canopies and within their unassuming black and white walls lie thriving nests of activity: Each Sid’s Pub is lively and dynamic, full of diverse bunches of punters enjoying themselves and being a part of a community, in this instance Sid’s community.
