Sidecar Barley & Wine Bar

This is a place that can be hard to get me into.
Overpriced drinks that are too sweet, bad food that tastes like plastic and microwaves, and a know-it-all staff that doesn’t seem to know anything at all.
It’s the kind of bar where the lighting is just dark enough to hide the sins of mediocrity, where every surface is sticky with the ghosts of spilled cocktails and poor management. They’ve got a lot of bottles and unfinished wood walls, but don’t let the aesthetic fool you—this place has all the soul of a suburban Cheesecake Factory on its third divorce.
You walk in and some bored gruff with a man bun and a chip on his shoulder gives you the once-over like you’re the one being judged. The cocktail menu reads like someone Googled “trendy drinks 2025” and never looked back. Everything’s sweet, smoked, or caffeinated, and somehow still manages to taste like cough syrup diluted with tap water.
And the food? Christ. If you can call it food. A microwaved pile of beige, frozen appetizers dressed up with chives, parsley and a $17 price tag. I've had more honest meals in airport terminals and gas stations. At least those don’t pretend to be anything other than what they are.
Then there’s the staff— clueless, smug, and disturbingly confident for people who can’t tell mezcal from malt liquor. Ask about the wine list and they’ll start reading the bottle labels to you before handing you handing you a warm Pinot Grigio that smells like bathwater. God forbid you ask for a beer recommendation—they'll just point to the stone cloud light that’s supposed to taste like Highlife.
This bar is a monument to everything wrong with modern nightlife—a vapid echo chamber for mall employees, bank bros and anyone too distracted by sugared rims and overpriced charcuterie boards to notice they’re getting conned.
If this is what passes for culture in your city, you have my deepest sympathies.

It’s a decent place, food and drinks are okay, service is mediocre, however the prices are pretty steep. There are many places in Tulsa and surrounding areas that are just all around better and a little easier on the wallet.

I love the vibe but the service is slow even on a slow day. There's never enough menus, you have to ask for them - they're dirty too. Then they are almost always out of something or some part of the kitchen is broken.

Cool rooftop spot with live music and 🔥 pit. What more could you ask for? Better food and drinks I guess? Still pretty hard to beat.

Went to Side car in Jenks and want to tell you that Brock is not attentive at all as a bartender. I’ve been there a few times in the last month and he really never looks around to see if anyone needs anything. Maybe if you are seated right next to him… that’s your best best to get a drink without waiting a long time.

Edit: I received a reply from the business. I will update my review once I reach out to them and can go back. I definitely believe in second chances.

Heard good things about this place. We went earlier tonight, sat at the bar and waited for about 15 minutes. We didn’t get helped or greeted by anyone. We ended up leaving

This location is larger than the one on Cherry Street in Tulsa. It also has outdoor area with a fire pit to stay warm
