Im no stranger to V pizza. Been there plenty of times, multiple locations, they just make great food. I recently Visited during their 2026 pizza making competition (an annual event that i was not aware of prior to this visit). 4 pizza pros, 4 pizza rookies going head to head to see who can make the best pie. 2 rounds; 1st round was who can use the secret ingredient (chorizo) the best, 2nd round was a free for all to make the most creative pie they can imagine (Wagyu cheeseburger pizza and Chilli dog pozza to name a few). V sold wristbands that gave access to a buffet of everything made for the competition. I personally suggest the gold band (not sure if they change it every year, but it was gold this year) which came with a complimentary drink and all day happy hour from side car. As always, the food was fresh, hot and did not disappoint. Live dj, great staff and fun atmosphere made the entire visit a memorable event for the family. Combine that with awesome food, a wing eating competition, amazing drinks, and the fact that part of the proceeds went towards the v4v foundation made this an amazing experience, definitely one i will be looking forward to attending next year. read more

We don't come here often, but I'm always pleased when we do! The cocktails are consistently delicious, they have wine and beer and even THC seltzers and liquor now. Indoor table, bar or outdoor seating, the choice is yours. I had a phenomenal paper plane this last visit - perfectly balanced and shaken, truly 5 stars. Our party sat outside for a bit then moved indoors when the sun shifted. No issues with the service and we just popped to the bar when we needed something. read more

Sidecar is a great Craft bar! Bartenders are truly mixologist with most drinks having multiple ingredients and a bunch of house made syrups and such. They have a nice front open patio with lots of seating and attached to V Pizza so you can grab wings and pizza anytime! read more

Stopped in late night and was happily surprised by their holiday decorations, and festive menu. Bartenders were helpful and friendly, and our drinks came out really well. I think it was because the pizza place had already closed for the night, but there was a little bit of an industrial cleaner kind of smell that I didn't love did get used to after 30-45 minutes read more

Everyone wants their own personal Cheers bar -- where everyone knows your name. Jordan and Gabriella may not know our names, but they know our faces and what we love to drink! The happy hour specials are always a hit and being attached to V Pizza allows you to drink and stay sober while enjoying Baywatch at the bar. If you're looking for good food (highly recommend the meatballs -- PLEASE BOTTLE THE MARINARA SAUCE) and drinks, this is your spot. Also, Thursday night trivia is always a hit. read more

I came here with some coworkers for pizza and cocktails. I love the setup of pizza on one side and bevs on the other. We placed our pie order and then came into sidecar for drinks. I forget the name of mine but it was one of the daily specials and it was delicious. The bartender whipped up drinks for the five of us and we went outside to a picnic table to enjoy the weather. read more

What an amazing bar connected to an amazing Jacksonville staple. Sidecar was new for me and wow: great drinks/bourbon, prices, friendly staff, and atmosphere. You gotta love what V's does with different types of bars/specialties at each location. We started of with some $2 Sunny D seltzers which we had to try since we grew up on Sunny Delight and they were pretty good. I of course had to try their Zombie drink which is always a favorite for me and at $10 it's for sure worth it very tasty with that kick you want. Will for sure some back to Sidecar when in the area. It's a must! read more

I could not believe I had not been to Sidecar before but a few weeks ago I met up with some friends and got to experience all the greatness! I am not totally understand why everything was Baywatch themed or how it ties into the name Sidecar but the bar went all in and I love it! Tropical vibes everywhere, tropical drinks and even Baywatch on the TV. There were some great deals on drinks when we were there, around 5:00 on a Thursday, and plenty of room for our big group to gather. We also ordered some delicious wings and a juicy Italian beef. read more

Sidecar gets top notch for the cocktails big plus is the fact that you can eat and get pizza and wings yummies too but v is just kinda inconsistent. We had 2 kinds of wings and a salad both wings were a bit over charred had to peel one side off cause burnt and the salad was lackluster. Again sidecars service and drinks can't be beat so I'll continue to go just maybe try something easier to make next time read more

I really wanted to like this place. Sidecar is in a great location and the drinks are good, which is honestly why I kept going back longer than I should have. Unfortunately, my last two visits were uncomfortable and ended with serious billing issues. Over two nights, I was overcharged nearly $200. It appears I was charged multiple times during the night as orders were entered, and then charged again for the full total at the end. On one visit, I was given a receipt that did not reflect the tip I wrote down, only to later see an additional tip charged that I could not verify. I am still seeing duplicate and unexplained charges days later. When I went back to the bar to ask for help, I was told staff could not provide copies of receipts, which made it impossible to immediately resolve the issue. What makes this more disappointing is that from the start, the service toward me and my partner felt noticeably different. Staff were pleasant, attentive, and friendly to other guests, while being dismissive and unpleasant toward us. I ignored it at first because I liked the atmosphere and drinks, but in hindsight, I should have trusted my instincts. Watching other guests receive clearly better service made it obvious that good hospitality was possible here, just not consistently applied. After experiencing passive aggression, inconsistent service, and now significant billing discrepancies, I can't recommend using a debit or credit card here, and suggest not going at all. Based on my experience, it feels risky, and resolving errors afterward has been a trip. This could be a great spot, but the service practices and billing issues completely overshadow the positives. I won't be returning. read more

No complaints here. Love this place. We always come here either for happy hour cocktails, afterhour cocktails, or cocktails to compliment the wood fired pizzas from VPizza next door. Their happy hour cocktail deals are a hit. Such a great deal! Our favorite cocktail is the painkiller #2. WE tend to have at least 2 of those right off the bat. :P. Service is friendly, quick, and easy. Good atmosphere for indoor or outdoor seating with indoor tvs for game day activities. Will be back again soon. read more

5 Stars for solid drinks, and chill atmosphere, and pizza next door! Once again, Yelp doesn't lead me wrong. Seeing the great reviews, we stopped by sidecar for a drink before meeting friends at the nearby brewery. They have some outdoor seating available if the weather's cooperating. The interior is much larger than you'd expect, and they had only recently extended the bar. We went for a weekday just before happy hour, so we were some of the only people there. The menu looks pretty 80-90s, which I'd normally be thrilled about, but it was super random and different from the previous menus. As we sat at the bar chatting, we noticed that they had a wine fridge with their Vermouth being chilled. One thing to note about a cocktail bar- make sure they're refrigerating the already-opened bottles of Vermouth. This is always a good sign! Overall, this was a cool experience, featuring very good craft cocktails. And though I can't take fullll credit for our trip to this spot , I'll still applaud Yelp for helping me find it!! read more

Pre fathers day trek. Happy Fathers day to all! Side car and V pizza was all that, and a bag of chips for all you old school heads out there. We busted the gates wide open at 3 pm. when they opened and never looked back. Bar and pizza, what a perfect combination!The Side car has drinks for days and days. I ordered the Zimbie. After a couple of minutes, I felt like a Zombie. Wifey had her usual Moscato. The calzone is big enough for 2. The baked wings were a and wifey ordered more. This place is great for an impromptu gathering or after work and just hanging with friends shooting the breeze. It gets crowded. If you don't like crowds, come early. If you like people come late at night. The bartender were super attentive. Preview the menu and the drinks before you go. It makes life much easier. Two snaps and around the world for Side car and shout out to V pizza for the great food. read more

Super cute place right beside a pizza shop. Came here for a short NYE with the hubby and they had a photo booth and music, serving up some NYE cocktails. They had a rum-based cocktail that was super delicious, as well as some quirky cocktails made with captain crunch vodka. Overall, a lovely time!

They offer happy hour specials everyday. The draft beer was down while we were there. However with all the cocktails I wouldn't have bothered with that. The burrata was good and the flatbread was pizza crust. Would definitely return. Service was great and every cocktail was made with care read more

Awesome little bar that's part of V Pizza in San Marco. They have all sorts of signature cocktails and craft beers on tap. The bartenders here are truly mixologists that can make some really inventive and crafty cocktails. However it slows down the service to make these things when others are waiting for a regular drink or beer. Being more of a beer guy myself I don't do all that fancy stuff; just give me a frosty cold glass of craft. Service was really polite and caring for their customers, but it did take a while to get a drink because of the bartender having to go back and make the fancy drinks. Plus there was only one bartender when I visited; so I think if they have 2 working it would have been a lot faster. I'll certainly go back to visit again when the San Marco area. Also if you want some pizza from V they'll bring it to you in the bar. read more

I love this bar as a happy hour option! My coworkers and I wanted to grab a few drinks and food. We decided to go here because V's pizza is right next door and delivers. We had a ton of drinking including all their signature drinks and one in particular which was a special they had posted on the wall called the Irish cream coffee iced- containing cold brew, Irish cream and baileys. Absolutely amazing. There's a ton of young professionals here in a Friday night from all over downtown and San Marco area. Prices are very fair and the service is extremely fast. There's also lots of seating options inside and outside as well as at the bar. Clean closed bathroom area. And the inside is dark and has an intimate feel to it so great for a first date as well! Highly recommend read more

Place is wonderful just wished there were parking for that area. My friends and I sat by the bar and were attended pretty quickly! The place is also connected to V's Pizza which is pretty cool as well the atmosphere gives a lot of time traveling vibes as well as hippie. The drinks were great! But a bit strong so you know the liquor going to kick you my I tried the heartbreaker kid as well as the 90's menus they had at the time as well all of them came out fast and quite delicious as well. read more

Fantastic bar with great selections and excellent staff! I love the cocktail menu, a variety of liquors with appropriate but not always expected accompaniments. Every single bartender that I have ordered from has been helpful, smiling and quick! What more can you ask for?! read more

Side Car is a cool little bar attached to V Pizza. We have ordered pizza and eaten it on the bar side, and have also gone just for drinks. I especially love when the weather cooperates and we can have enjoy our drinks outside. The bar does not have a lot of seats, and it is always busy. It definitely just depends on the day. The bartenders are very nice and can make some incredible drinks. I always love watching them expertly mix up the specialty cocktails. We have had their rum tiki drinks like painkillers and pina coladas, and my standard drinks are usually a dirty vodka martini or negroni. This most recent visit they have the Christmas menu out! Everything sounded delicious. My boyfriend tried the coquito, and we both loved it. However, my dirty martini was just bad. I get this cocktail very frequently, but it was not right last time. I had a few sips and ordered a negroni instead (which was perfect). I heard they have a good happy hour, but I have only visited later in the evening. Sidecar is a neighborhood staple. :) read more

Great drinks! There's just nothing quite like a wood fired oven pizza! V pizza has a little something for everyone. Good pizza, grilled wings, salads, sandwiches, a nice drink list, and a killer atmosphere. The custom made pizza ovens are the show stopper for me. And if you're in the mood for a craft cocktail or frozé, the bar is the place to be. read more

No services! Have to figure out how to order pizza from V Pizza and they bring it out to you with no plates, napkins or utensils. My husband went inside and got a roll of paper towels off a table. Then when another couple joined us they continued to add their drinks on our tab. This place could be a huge hit but with lack of service and nobody offering to help or if we needed refills they are missing out on a ton of money. No plans of going back...ever. read more

I signed up a few of my friends for a tasting of Sherry. The Sidecar hosted several themed events center around this drink. I knew nothing about Sherry, but I was interested in learning. There is actually a week dedicated to Sherry. This event was right up my alley because I love a little education mixed with adult beverages. Also, it gave me a chance to check out Sidecar. With this being my first time at the Sidecar, I was very impressed. The set up is similar to a garage which I think was intentional. It was a nice transition to sit outside or inside but still feel connected. The bar is located in the San Marco area on Hendricks sheet next to V's pizza which is a good selling point for have drinks and food. The atmosphere is definitely a good place for drinks with friends or co-workers. I had a blast trying the different types of Sherry. After the event, I felt like I'd be putting Sherry into my drinking rotation at home. Sidecar did an amazing job with this event. I was so impressed. I really enjoyed this establishment and can see myself coming back many many more times in the future. read more
