🌟 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! 🌟🎊

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

Sidecar is a gem in downtown SLO. My husband and I have always loved their bar, and choosing them to provide bar service at our wedding was an easy choice. Our wedding venue was The Penny, a sister company of Sidecar, so they made it really easy to coordinate between the two. We had a great time doing a private cocktail tasting with Josh to decide on our wedding drinks, and the drinks were EXCELLENT. 6 month later, our wedding guests are still talking about the paper plane cocktail! Their bartenders were kind, professional, and so fun to have at our wedding.

Our cocktails were unique and the menu was exciting. The atmosphere of the upstairs vs. downstairs is very drastic. Feels. like two different places. Downstairs is dark mood lighting, feels more casual and maybe good for music? Upstairs has a buzzing, classier, semi-hipster vibe. We only ordered drinks so I can't comment on the food. Glad we went, it's a good place to wait for a dinner reservation.

The cocktails were phenomenal! We also wanted to steal the menu but they whisked it away before we could. Try to get a seat on the patio by the creek, the sound of the frogs is kind of magical.

Nice drinks down in the basement. Two rooms make nice with more action near the bar and quieter room to talk.
