    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.

    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!

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

    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! Atmosphere: 5/5 Cocktails: 5/5 Staff: 5/5 Location: 4/5 Overall: 5/5

    Old fashion
    Gabriela K.

    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

You can tell they put a lot of effort into the quality of the ingredients. My favorite item was easily the pork belly taco. It was packed with flavor and was the standout of the entire meal. I also had the chicken verde taco, carne asada taco, and pork tamale. The pork tamale was excellent--tender, flavorful, and comforting. The chicken verde and carne asada tacos were good, but neither was particularly memorable compared to the pork belly. The cucumber salad was probably my biggest disappointment. It looked fresh, but it had little to no seasoning and lacked flavor. Service was okay. It took quite a while to get my second Diet Coke, which was a little frustrating. Overall, I enjoyed my meal and would come back, but when I think of Mexican food, this isn't really what comes to mind. The food felt more Americanized and inspired by Mexican flavors rather than authentic Mexican cuisine. That's not necessarily a bad thing--it just wasn't what I was expecting. If you're looking for fresh ingredients, great vibes, and creative tacos, bartaco is worth a visit. If you're looking for a more traditional Mexican experience, this probably isn't the place I'd recommend.

Apparently there's a policy on if you don't purchase anything you cannot stay in the establishment, which in my opinion is completely reasonable if communicated. However, that wasn't the case with my friends and I. I have previously visited this establishment but it was a while ago, so we were taking time to decide what we wanted to purchase. Instead of respectfully communicating this policy to us, there was a worker with striped hair and glasses who started yelling at us and cursing at us, telling us that we needed to and I quote, "get the fuck out of his restaurant". This could've been an easily resolvable situation given that there seems to have just been a communication barrier where he assumed that we were not going to make any purchases, when in reality, we were just trying to make a decision of what we were wanting to purchase. However, his aggressive approach was, and still remains highly inappropriate. He immediately assumed that we weren't there for business. It was an extremely aggressive encounter and we are very disappointed by it. His behavior made the ambience in there feel very unwelcoming. So if you were thinking of trying this place out. Save your money for somewhere where customer service is actually up to par. if you're going to pay for an overpriced and average beverage, you might as well be treated kindly for it.

We ordered the Brussel sprouts as an appetizer, they were phenomenal! Then we both decided on steak for dinner. I got the filet, and ordered it medium rare and it was perfect.

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.

Our waiter, Evan, was very proactive & offered suggestions with menu items. We started with some cocktails, the gentlemen with the cider beer & an old fashioned. I chose a glass of bubbly & the birthday girl had the fizz cocktail. It was incredible with a fresh blackberry puree. We started with the fried green tomatoes & the calamari, both were delicious! 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! Would absolutely request him in the future.
