    Feliz Navidad and yuletide mule
    Kelsey H.

    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

    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.

    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.

    This is our normal Date spot. And I'm happy to say they have a new seasonal drink menu.

    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!

    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.

    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

    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.

    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.

    Serving quality well made cocktails but also serve beer, wine, and NA mock-tails. Service is prompt and they do serve food from their connected V-Pizza restaurant. They have happy hour every day 3-7 and all day on Sundays.

    Woo!! First place in trivia! Had the pineapple wings and they were really good, I ordered five but next time I will definitely get there ten, they were so good.

    NYE at Sidecar
    Brigitte P.

    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!

    Old fashion

    We visited on a Sunday, all day happy hour... need I say more? This place has the best old fashioned in Jacksonville, being next door to V pizza is the best, enjoyed some Calabrian wings and good afternoons with drinks and friends. Will alway la be back, one of my top places in Jacksonville.

    What are their Happy Hour specials?

    Hi. Our happy hour is from 3-7 Monday-Saturday and all day Sunday. We offer $1 off all draft beers, $2 off all wines by the glass and $7 classic cocktails. Cheers!!

    Hey yelpers, I see there are pics of pizza and wings, anyone know what else is on the menu? Is there a menu? I'm headed here tonight and trying to see if I can grab a bite as well as a delicious cocktail. Thanks!

    Frank, All of the food actually comes from V pizza next door. Pretty extensive menu online. I can… Read more

Why spend a lot of money eating at an establishment that doesn't enhance the experience? The food also was flavorful and the passion fruit margaritas was superb. I love margaritas but hate it when it's made with a pre-made mix. (It should be a crime.) Barteco uses high quality tequila and freshly squeezed juice that way a margarita should be made. For the food, I got 3 tacos (ahi-tuna, prime beef, sesame ribeye), my wife got the ahi-tuna rice entree, and for our two daughters they shared the quesadillas from the kids menu. Our favorite was definitely the ahi-tuna. One warning is that the portions are quite small, but they do tell you on the menu! However, the prices are reasonable for such quality and tasty food! The kids entree was also sub $10 which is rare to find AND it actually was a decent sized portion and had left overs. On top of that the hostess and server were friendly and knowledgeable. We're already planning on coming back already with some friends. The margarita in the carafe is calling us. What else can you ask for?

The interior was decorated fresh coastal vibes, I'd imagine Newport Beach restaurant vibes. Our waiter was very nice and friendly. He explained their ordering process which is to make on this sheet what you want and to put this card up if you need the waiter for anything else. I loved that they had an organized process. They have a QR code on the table you can order from and pay. But if you order using the paper sheet they provide you, you can't pay from the QR code. We started off with margaritas (regular and spicy) which were amazing! For an appetizer we got the pork tamale. Really good flavor maybe too much masa though. It was a thick layer. The green verde sauce on top was delicious. The tacos are small and are about 3-5 bites so you want to order more than 3 in my opinion which was perfect because I wanted to try a few different ones. We got chicken tinga, mojo pork carnitas, pork belly, ahi tuna tatako, carne asada, seared chorizo. I loved each one! We will be back for sure!

I got the German chocolate cake (this apparently isn't their normal one) and my husband got the dulce cheesecake. The waitress we had was great, and she recommended lots of tips and favorites to try.

Calamari was prepared well and not too chewy. We shockingly each chose a salad: the bistro steak, the chop chop Asian, the goat cheese, and the salmon. Each one was incredible. Mine was the chop chop and I absolutely loved it! It was HUGE and you can bet I ate every single bite. Loved it!' We finished with the brownie topped with ice cream for the birthday girl, it was extremely tasty! Thanks again to Evan for making our night! He was a fantastic waiter!

    This is the second experience that I've had a Whiskey Cakes…read more My first was in Round Rock, Texas. Last night, was The Town center in Jax. Both were consistently amazing! The food and service were impeccable!!! Having tried both places, that enabled me to try several different dishes. My recommendations for appetizers, The fried green tomatoes, and the deviled eggs (it will be a surprise as to which one you get, they change.) we had the scallion and barbecue. The goat cheese fondue was delicious as well. I've had the steak salad for dinner as well as the Reuben. Whatever you get, you're gonna be eating well and leaving happy! As for ambiance, it's busy and fun. Which makes it loud. Not a great place for a "romantic evening" but more for a fun, laughter filled night.

    The service was not very good. 3 of the four drinks were right. They got a bottled beer wrong?…read more Then we asked for another beer and when they brought it out they did not open it and it wasn't a twist top. Salad was forgotten then ran out after asking more than once. 3 Chicken melts and one my strip steak took over an hour for a restaurant that was not busy. When the food came out, only two of the four meals came out. The other two meals were delayed by more than 10 min. when they came out one of the chicken melts was wrong and the Mac and cheese (which was an up charge) was cold. The steak was brought out without a steak knife, and we had to get up to ask for one. Not to mention the waitress never checked on us. Our order consisted of: 2 Raspberry Bourbon Mules one Old forester old fashioned bottle of beer Starter was an order of deviled eggs (which were ok). For dinner 3 chicken melts and one NY Strip. On a positive note the manager came out twice to check in on us, but I promise I wont be back. No photos taken (which is a first for me) but honestly it wasn't worth my time as we obviously were not worth Whiskey Cakes Time. Update at the end the manager did come by and took items off our bill. He was very apologetic.
