This place is so cool! Great spot, beautiful views of plants and the canal, and amazing atmosphere. Our server was extremely helpful picking cocktails out and recommending dinner spots. Drinks tasted great and the whole vibe was spot on.

Sidecar has some great specialty cocktails and has jazz on Thursday nights. It is a bit pricey and it can get crowded

My friends and I were visiting SLO for the weekend and were looking for a fun evening haunt to grab drinks. Sometimes it can be hard in a small town to find a queer-friendly bar where you feel safe and welcomed. But Sidecar did not disappoint. Sidecar has two parts to it. The upstairs is more of a classy, elegant restaurant vibe, while the downstairs has more of a live music and late night vibe. Both have amazing craft cocktails. We went to the downstairs bar, listened to some local music, and enjoyed some amazing cocktails. The vibes were great. While not a gay bar, it felt like a very welcoming and safe environment for all to enjoy! Would definitely recommend.

🌟 My Experience
What an unforgettable night at Sidecar celebrating a special Cal Poly graduation! 🎓🎉 Our party of seven was welcomed with open arms and treated to a fantastic mix of drinks, bites, and joyful vibes. It was the perfect place to toast to new beginnings with friends and family! 🥂✨
🍽️ Delicious Food
We loved every bite of the tasty snacks—especially the crispy, flavorful brussel sprouts 🥦🔥 and the indulgent animal fries loaded with goodness 🍟🧀. The snacks perfectly balanced out the delicious array of drinks and made the celebration extra satisfying!
🙌 Outstanding Service
Nicole was absolutely amazing—friendly, attentive, and full of good energy! 🙌💖 She made sure our glasses were never empty and our table always had what we needed. Her cheerful attitude added so much warmth to our celebration.
🍹 Cheers-Worthy Drinks
From the zesty Moscow Mules 🐴🍋 to the cleverly named Horse and Donkey cocktail 🐎🫏, plus a great variety of beer 🍺, wine 🍷, crisp kolsch, and refreshing hoppy water 💧—there was something for every taste. Sidecar knows how to pour with style!
💬 Final Thoughts & Recommendation
Sidecar made our graduation night sparkle with flavor, fun, and fantastic service. Big thanks to Nicole and the whole team for helping us celebrate in style. Highly recommend this spot for any special occasion—or just because! 🌟🎊

Restaurantji Recommends
Such a great ambiance. We got a few drinks, the old fashion is perfectly balanced, borderline too many bitters, but simple and just what we needed.
Always 5 star craft cocktails
We hired Sidecar bartending services for our recent wedding in San Luis Obispo. Their professionalism and attentiveness throughout the event was amazing, and they made the planning process very easy for us. The custom cocktails they designed for us were incredibly creative – they added such a unique and memorable touch that our guests are still talking about a month later! We're really happy with our decision on hiring them for our wedding and would definitely recommend to others!
The bouncer was overambitious and intrusive.
Fun otherwise, but he ruined the atmosphere.
Drinks were only ok. Bartenders were nice. At $15 a cocktail I probably wouldn't come back considering I didn't like my drink
