The sidebar is not present when the Finder is displaying windows is 
container mode,
where a double click to navigate spawns a new window.  When the window 
is browsing
in place, the sidebar is displayed by default but can be easily 
minimized to icons only
or minimized completely using a key combo or by double clicking the 
splitter.  You can
also drag the sidebar completely closed as well.
