Sidecar Pub

Was there for a private event in a separate room upstairs. The food was great as well as the service. Beautiful restaurant.

Always good food, great atmosphere and vibe, drinks are hit or miss depending on who is making them (have had a few experiences with extremely strong drinks that are hard to get down), and the live entertainment is a huge drawn-in. Unfortunately, after the last few times I’ve gone, i found that all the good qualities are largely overshadowed by the fact that the service is absolutely lacking. Trying to get the attention of anyone is nearly impossible. Nobody will even make eye contact with you… whether you’ve been standing at the bar for 10-15 minutes waiting to get the attention of someone to order a drink, or sitting at a table for 30 minutes for someone to even come over. I don’t know how many times someone walked by and I tried to get their attention by flagging them down or making eye contact. I’ve worked in the food industry, and I understand it can be be busy and working with the public has its challenges - I totally get it. But if you want to draw in customers and drum up business, especially on event nights, I’d say it’s pretty important to acknowledge the customers. Pretty disappointed because I really liked this place. Don’t see myself coming back here for a long while unfortunately.

Went to Sidecar tonight to hear Chase Jobe sing. Unfortunately, this was the most unwelcoming experience I’ve ever had at a bar. There was nowhere to sit, so my group and I waited patiently near the bar to order drinks. We couldn’t even get eye contact. I decided to use this time to show my friend around who had never been here. We were on our way upstairs when we noticed a reserved sign, so we stopped and asked people in the party group if it was okay for us to go up and look around. They said yes, however one of the bartenders rushed over to inform us that “it’s reserved, you can’t be up there” with quite an attitude. So, we can pay attention when I’m going upstairs, but not when I’m trying to order food and drinks? We left immediately after this interaction and will not be returning. This would be an awesome bar if only the service wasn’t so disorganized and distracted.

Great little spot, service was super friendly

1st timer. Staff were ALL great and very personable! While the food was tasty, our complaint is with the food temperature. Everything was barely luke warm. We had wings, onion rings and the meatballs. The sauce for the meatballs wasn’t good. The atmosphere is great but we felt it is best suited for drinks only.

I've been here about 3 times and have been getting the same drink everytime! I love this local bar, it's close by to my work so when I get out I can grab a few drinks. I have run into numerous events when I didn't mean to, which meant ordering at the bar but I didn't mind it! Overall friendly staff and nice service! Definitely my new favorite bar.

This place had TERRIBLE service. We have been sitting for 27 minutes without a waitress coming to our table. We then had to order at the bar for a drink and ask them to come to the table to take a food order. It’s had currently been 1 hour since we ordered said food and it is still not at the table. Our waitress has also not checked in once in that hour. I would never come here again.

I love going to Sidecar! It’s great for happy hour and drinks — and the vibe is super fun when the live music is going! When the service is good, it’s FANTASTIC — my favorite bar tender is there! But when they’re super slammed, ya just gotta expect a bit slower service. So it’s alright. Not enough of a problem to deter us from coming — everyone is super friendly! And the drinks are great. I haven’t had a ton of the food dishes, when I have it’s not bad! Decent selection. Worth the trip if you’re local and love live music!!

Kid-friendliness: I don’t think it’s super kid friendly.

I am a huge fan of SideCar. One of my favorite places! I love the vibe and love music so much! Me and friends absolutely love to have cocktails and just relax. I have been going here with friends and date night for a bit now. Lately I’ve been very disappointed with service. Took us one night nearly 40 mins to get our bill. We ending up leaving a few hundred dollar bills to cover it because no one was helping! This last night they requested cards up front and still charged cards when it was paid on someone else’s and my drinks were not made properly. Or the normal way they are made!Oh and elevator broken guess who fell down the stairs? Oh yah me! Broken thumb! Not Sidecars fault at all but worth mentioningThe gutterball pizza is so delicious!! I love the food and the bartender Devon.I just hope they get their service figured out!Maybe stop table service at 7-8pm and people open tabs at the bar?

We recently had our Work Christmas Party there. Ben was very easy to work with and the staff was accommodating. Food was Great, Bartenders kept up and the live Music was 12OC and certainly did not disappoint. If you are looking for a venue to accommodate a party, ours was 50 people, this is the place!!!
