We came here in a group of five for a birthday celebration and were able to take up almost the entire row on one side of the room (which had a total of 6 cars lined up next to each other).
We booked a 1-hr program which gets you an introductory briefing, 3 practice rounds and 3 races against each other. The instructor asked us if we wanted to add some extra cars into our third race but we thought the five of us in the race was already sufficiently challenging. Turned out that 1 hour was more than enough as we had never have thought it was so tiring! In the 3 games we were able to experience 3 different race car simulations, each with different performance features. The others seemed to enjoy driving the Porsche more but I preferred the final game in the BMW. Proud to say, I won all 3 rounds! Unfortunately, I wasn't able to squeeze in the top 10 on the scoreboard that they have hanging on the wall but the instructor awarded me one of their Sideways cap, haha. Great fun overall.
For those interested in throwing a party here, Sideways can also arrange for catering. And for the ones who want to just tag along and not play, they can sit at the bar, have a drink and just watch.

Japanese & Scandinavian bread
Bakery & Cafe (open indoor & outdoor seating) sections
Recommend:
Champignon
Comments:
Not a wide variety of bread at the moment but having tried a few so far the quality is very good.
Customers can buy bread from the bakery shop at front and then go to the cafe next door to sit down for coffee. Would prefer if they would connect the two areas though so there'd be no need to package the bread in paper bags and serve on a dish instead. Customers seem to find that part a little confusing too.
