You really don't need a side dish to serve with chili.
But accompaniments are good. Like tortilla chips, cornbread, pasta or a baked potato. Potato with chili and cheese on top is good.

I agree with the masses here about the cornbread, but to spice things up a bit, I usually serve it with a variety of optional add ins that the guests can help themselves to as well, such as diced tomatoes, onions, green peppers, some spanish and black olives, shredded cheeses, and hot peppers. Also, a few salsas are always a good add on to chili. Even a couple kinds of beans on the side, rather than adding them to the chili itself, allows your guests to make their own concoction that they will love without any of the add ons they might not like :)

You should always include a salad but in addition to that I'd say use the chili to make chili dogs and chili burgers. Also, it's a good idea to include tortilla chips or Frito's to use as spoons for the chili. Beer in addition to soda for drinks if you're adults. Have a great time!

Well you do not need to cook a whole other dish. Work with the chili to make it more interesting. For example, put a whole bunch of different garnishes out for everyone to add to their chili, like grated cheeses, sour cream, hot sauce, green onions, guacamole, etc. Or... you could supply tortilla chips and let everyone make their own creation with all these ingredients.

For tradition I'd go with cornbread and a green salad. But for an interesting twist, go with polenta or fried polenta. I love that stuff better than cornbread.
