How it works

From your phone to the front door.

  1. Sign up for free

    Create your Sidedoor account in under a minute. Just your name, email and phone number — no payment details needed.

  2. Pick a venue & night

    Browse venues near you, choose your night, set your party size, and optionally use a key to skip the queue.

  3. Show your QR & walk in

    When you arrive, open your booking and show the QR code. Door staff scan it, see your name, and you’re in. That’s it.

Handing over a key
05 — Keys

Keys open doors.

Sidedoor runs on keys — our in-app currency for the moments that matter. Skip queues, lock in guaranteed entry, unlock paid placements at sold-out nights. Join free and we’ll drop a few keys into your account so you can try them out on us.

  • Free keys when you join — try the platform with nothing on the line
  • Top up in seconds, bulk discounts kick in automatically
  • Use them to skip queues or guarantee a spot at busy venues
  • Unused keys never expire — save them for the night that matters

  • Book tables at participating restaurants and late-night kitchens
  • Send gift vouchers — redeemable on any Sidedoor venue or membership
  • Gift Premium or Premium Plus to the partygoer in your life
  • Top up a friend’s keys so their next night out is on you
