    We’ve been three times in about a the last few weeks , first time just my wife and I and twice with friends . Each time we’ve had a great experience. First and foremost the ambiance and esthetic of the lounge is very stylish . It’s beautifully furnished, thoughtfully laid out, it feels sophisticated even the stem ware / silver ware is pretty. The service is first class and the food is very well prepared and absolutely delicious. The menu is not big but it’s concise and there’s pretty much something for everyone and all of it’s delicious ( maybe with the exception of the smoked scallops, but that maybe a me thing ) . Now for the best part, the drinks . The cocktails are expertly crafted , beautifully presented and very consistent in taste and description. Highly recommend Side Car as it’s truly unique and nice to finally have something so cool in the SCV .

    I love this place. Perfect little speakeasy. Delicious drinks. I had the “dealers choice” and they made me a delicious smoky blood orange mezcal cocktail.

    Loved everything about the environment. Service is amazing. Food and drinks were awesome. The only dislike is the music and music level.

    Always a great experience. Although they were busy the servers make sure you are taken care of. The drinks are always amazing and the music very enjoyable.

    Our 1st time here. Great small, intimate location. The food was amazing. The drinks were good...well made. The Basque cheesecake was a perfect end to dinner.

    Consistently outstanding! The small bites, cocktails, and service are top-notch, making this a monthly favorite for us. A special shoutout to Kaylee—she’s fantastic, personable, and crafts an incredible pumpkin spice espresso martini! We also enjoyed the Whistle Pig tasting. 12 year for the win! - Victor & Vanessa Torres

    Our second time at Sidecar with friends. Our server was very knowledgeable about their cocktails and which spirits were mixed in , and the food . Her recommendations made the evening.

    It took two weeks for me to get a reservation at Sidecar for our 31st wedding anniversary. I wish I had chosen differently. NEVER have expectations been so high for such a terrible experience. And, this is my first poor review of any establishment, ever. Online, there is no specific menu listed, however, I assumed what is listed, “finest libations and culinary delights” would allow for excellent drinks and food. The drinks were overpriced and moderate quality (“The Signature”is their “Old Fashioned”. It’s SMOKED and priced at $25 per glass, we have made better at our home). The food options were a wedge salad, a couple of flat breads a charcuterie board, a flat iron steak meal and another steak for $125. (Yes, One hundred and twenty five dollars, that is no typo.) No chicken dishes whatsoever. We ordered the flat iron steak and charcuterie. The flat iron came thickly sliced over a bed of greens- so basically it was a salad. It was the best part of the experience. The charcuterie was terrible (hard to get meat and cheese wrong) but this contained one kind of hard cheese and a few meats, some dried apricots, figs, one single blackberry and some strange pate that looked and tasted like brain might. I ate a bit before my stomach started churning. Just awful. Online also listed House Rules and Etiquette; *Dress to impress! Cocktail attire is admired although not obligatory. *Keep it classy: no coarse language or unsavory dispositions. We are all about the good vibes”. We arrived 15 minutes early, concerned that we may be underdressed in cashmere sweater’s and slacks (I had on heels). At 6:30pm a group of 6 middle aged men walked in wearing shorts, t-shirts, and ball caps. They were seated at the bar directly behind us and were clearly already intoxicated, but there for more drinks. Their yelling and laughing so was loud that it overtook our entire experience. So much for keeping it classy.. Left hungry and irritated. NEVER AGAIN.
