Cantaritos

We really enjoyed this spot. Prime location in downtown Gainesville. Cozy interior. Drinks were very well made, and the food was fresh and tasty. The sauce for the meatballs was fantastic, and I'd highly recommend the bruschetta. Service was overall good, but a little on the slow side.

Get the pizza! It's amazing. Great location, good service and the server was able to make me some sweet tea so that's a win too!!!

I checked out Sidecar Gainesville for a drink on a Saturday evening and there was a lot to like. Sidecar shares the space with V Pizza so you can get your pizza fix while also enjoying some cocktails. I sat at the bar and perused the list of craft cocktails. The menu is wrestling-themed which was pretty cool. I always appreciate a bar that does cocktails well and Sidecar delivered. Service was friendly and efficient. The ambiance is trendy. Definitely a cool spot to grab a nice drink.

Such a cool vibe especially at Christmas time. Bartenders are very quick and knowledgeable. I ordered the espresso martini and it was excellent!

This place is awesome! We were in town to watch a ballgame and looking for something to eat and Search Yelp for recommendations and found this place. Their cocktails were good. My husband and I ordered the Mai-Tai and was very good and strong . We normally get extra Myers on top, but not needed at al. We ordered the Carnivura Pizza and it was the bomb! The. We had the mini Canoli for dessert, which was okay, nothing especial, but definitely will come back next time we are in Gainesville are.

Dinner Bruschetta with burrata.
Analuiza S.

We've been here plenty of times throughout the years and usually sit at the bar and have a few cocktails. The bartenders have usually been nice enough but this last time Maggie was just above and beyond! She was knowledgeable and friendly it was an amazing time. The bruschetta was legitimately one of the best I've ever had, add the burrata with it for sure! The bread is super soft and so flavorful.

Sidecar Gainesville serves some of the best cocktails in Gainesville & is in my top three for bars in the city. DRINKS (4/5): Very varied and creative menu. Multiple collaborations with other local businesses (coffee roasters in town, etc.). Happy hour specials from 4-7. ATMOSPHERE (4/5): Sidecar is adjoined to V's pizza and shares the same room. This allows you to order food from the bar if you like but also changes the atmosphere to a more "restaurant" vibe rather than a "cocktail lounge" vibe. SERVICE (5/5): Very friendly and helpful bar staff. Always willing to give recommendations and suggestions.

Different city, same ol' Harlot! #FanFavorite

Nice. Even the new layout. I don't like the hours, too limited. I'd go more often. Need to change my schedule

Came here for brunch. Free valet if you're visiting the restaurant. Score…read more Our server, Benjamin was beyond amazing. Super friendly, fun, adorable. We tried Canella Negra, pumpkin espresso martini, and a cucumber alcohol alcoholic drink. All were delicious. For breakfast, we started with the brussels sprout salad, which is fire. My daughter and I both had the American breakfast which was cooked perfectly, bacon and sausage were on point, breakfast potatoes were delicious My girlfriend and my daughter's boyfriend had biscuits and gravy. I could've eaten that too. It was so good. For dessert we had Keylime pie, which was outstanding. I highly recommend Covey kitchen and cocktails and would definitely come back again.

However, our excitement disappeared pretty quickly when we realized they only have brunch on Saturday and Sunday and we visited on Friday. We were pretty hungry so we deci to stay anyway. I ordered the turkey club panini with fries and my husband got the brussel sprouts salad and salmon. Everything was pretty tasty and the service was pretty good. The restaurant is overlooking the fountain so it was a pretty view and the free valet parking made it a breeze to go right in. Although we were disappointed we couldn't order what we originally went for, we still had a pretty good experience. Would highly recommend the brussel sprouts salad. It was amazing!!!

Our bartenders were…read morevery friendly, polite and did the best they could do, but were completely overwhelmed on this Graduation Friday. Place was clean, food was OK, yes just OK and wasn't even close to being served all together. The third plate was served after we finished all the other dishes. As I said, the bartenders were working hard but the overall service was terrible. No silverware was given, no drink refills were offered, no follow up on the missing food. Service just sucked! Especially for the prices ! Too many options to go back and have another bad experience. Today's busyness is not a surprise as I go through this every year, yet we're unable to take care of their guests.

Drinks were included with the event, and I ordered a Tito's with club soda and lime, but something was off. Not sure what they mixed in, but it tasted unusually sweet, almost like it had added sugar or syrup--which was unexpected for such a simple cocktail. On the plus side, we tried the chips and guacamole, and they were really good--fresh, flavorful, and a great snack to share. Overall, it's a good spot if you're looking for a social, energetic atmosphere, but the drinks didn't quite hit the mark for me. Might give it another try for the food or a different cocktail.
