Love the pix on the wall! Drinks aesthetic! Unique food choices while you ease into each drink after drink.

Sidecar has a great speak easy like atmosphere. The vibe is usually good, the drinks are great and fun. However I am a big vodka fan and their selection of vodka is not great. The food is good and presentation is nice, but, a bit overpriced. Overall a great place to visit once in a while. read more

Such an amazing and fun find! The speakeasy style was so cute and well done. The live music was a nice touch with it not being too loud but adding a Romantic date night vibe. The chefs appetizer was amazing. The drinks were delicious and beautifully presented. The main course shrimp scampi and hanger steak were cooked perfectly and even though we had no room for dessert we had to try the chocolate silk pie which was so worth it! Server was a little slow and hard to get over to the table but she was friendly. read more

Didn't feel like driving into town for my birthday (the big party was planned for another day in Marina Del Rey), so we decided to keep it simple and have a nice, quiet early dinner at the speakeasy at Sidecar. I've always been curious about this spot, and to my surprise, it's actually Santa Clarita's very first speakeasy... how cool is that? We've been loyal fans of their sister restaurant next door for years ...it's our go-to for breakfast, brunch, or dinner ... so trying Sidecar felt like the perfect next step. And wow... what a great choice! The cocktails were excellent. They made my Old Fashioned exactly the way I like it, and my partner loved their gin and tonics. The servers were absolutely wonderful (I feel so bad I forgot their names!) and made the evening feel extra special. The vibe is warm, cozy, and stylish ... perfect for a relaxed night out. Honestly, it was such a sweet way to kick off my birthday celebrations. We'll definitely be back again soon! read more

We absolutely love having this gem in our community. I love a good speakeasy, not only for the ambience but for the drinks. The place is tiny and intimate so ideal for a couple or a small group before, food is great, drinks are amazing and Service is even better. On weekends they'll have life music, which is a really nice touch. read more

Ambiance 3/5 - without showing pictures of the inside and ruining the speakeasy mystery, you enter the place through a store front. The store front sells hand made knives, lighters and art. Its a very small store front, but personally it sets the tone before entering. What gives this a 3/5 stars is the art work. Think of the Ed Hardy era that never left, the art on the walls looked like pictures you took for Instagram and saturated them with multiple filters. This is a complete 180 from that actually bar itself; very elegant/ old school. Service 3/5 - Very friendly service, but came around only before you placed your order and after you were done with your meal. We ordered a extra dry dirty martini and our server asked if we wanted regular olives or stuffed blue cheese olives so we chose the blue cheese ones. I don't think it was conveyed correctly to bartender, since the martini was very vermouth forward and the olives were the wrong ones. Food/ Drink 2/5 - The olives were an interesting twist from the regular salty ones you usually get. These were sweet and had a nice spice to them. The whipped feta was underwhelming. Best way to describe it was the flavor was there with the tapenade and the tomatoes, but the texture of a "whipped" feta was not it was flat and runny. It was served with with regular store bought bread. Note to the owners: this dish would make a killing if you get the texture right, and instead serve it with the focaccia you have on the menu. The ragu was good but I could pass on it, as we said while eating it "it's an elevated Chef Boyardee". The signature was the only part of our meal that I would say I would get again, it was a great balance of bitters and sweetness to the bourbon and having the coaster sit on top of the smoked drink while it arrives gives it a good presentation. This place leaves a lot to be desired. It being one if not the only speak easy in Santa Clarita makes it stand out, but once the novelty of that fades, you're left with an overpriced lackluster meal. read more

I have been here twice. My first visit was pretty good. Nothing exceptional about the place, but it was definitely an experience. Our second visit was this Saturday and it was not planned. They had an open table for about an hour and a half between reservations which was more than enough time for us. All we really went in for was a couple drinks and snacks. We were a party of six and all ordered cocktails and grilled cheeses to share. Four of us ordered Old Fashions, including myself. I was incredibly disappointed by my drink as it tasted completely watered down. Although the grilled cheese was the star of the show for us last time, all of us couldn't have been more disappointed by this time. Great presentation but zero flavor. To be completely honest if you're charging $20 for a grilled cheese sandwich it should taste amazing. Sad to say six cocktails and three grilled cheeses later, with an over $200 bill, we left incredibly disappointed. I've had far better dining experiences for much less. Unfortunately, I will not be returning. read more

Showed up on a last minute whim and they were able to seat us despite not having reservations. We were seated at the bar which we were ok with. The space is small and intimate, perfect for a date night. We started the evening with some drinks, my husband ordered The Manhattan and I ordered the Cali 75. The Manhattan was pretty strong and the Cali 75 was excellent. As an appetizer we ordered the meatballs with focaccia bread - this was so good and I highly recommend it! As our main entree my husband ordered the special, which was grilled shrimp on top of some hummus, he said it was light and tasty and thoroughly enjoyed it. I ordered the kimchi rigatoni and it was delicious. To end the night we shared the chocolate mousse pie - which was simple but delicious! If you're looking for a date night spot in the Santa Clarita area check this spot out - it's worth your time! read more

Came to Sidecar for the first time over the weekend and I can't stop telling everyone about it. The drinks were absolutely beautiful and delicious ..both people I came with loved theirs too. We ordered a few snacks and every single one was a 10/10. Such a cute spot with great vibes, and I already can't wait to go back! read more

The food was great, the drinks were great, and the service was great, but I will never return. The amount of money we spent was absurd and we didn't really order much. 8 people, 2 drinks each and we shared 3 appetizers for the table. Spent just under $800. Never again. It's supposed to be a speakeasy, but there isn't much of a theme, other than the front entrance. I definitely expected more for what we paid. read more

I think this is the only 1 speakeasies in Newhall. It is located right at the old town Junction restaurant. It has 2 entrances. One through the restaurant and other one from Main Street. Drinks were excellent. The olives was good too. Highlight was the saxophone . Overall a nice place to grab quick drink. We tried the black manhattan , olives , cheesecake , Lychee Martini. Everything was great. read more

Didn't expect to be dropping by this speakeasy but my bf and our friends were doing a bar hopping night and I happened to tag along at the end of this one. This is located along Main Street in Santa Clarita, beautiful strip and highly recommend visiting. They don't have a big flashy sign outside and they have a tiny little itty bitty sign on their door. From the outside, it honestly just looked like some kind of office front with a receptionist selling real estate or something. The door has to be opened by the front lady, I waited there till she did. The door to the actual bar is hidden and she pushes a button to let you in. Going inside felt like a super secret hideout lol. Super small inside but still really nice and fancy. Honestly we all felt out of place but from what I can tell, their food and drinks are pretty and good but overpriced. I had a bit of whatever cobbler was left but I wasn't feeling it so I didn't eat much. The bartender brought me water immediately as soon as I sat down. I didn't order anything since we were basically about to head out to the next spot anyway but I may want to try it next time! They also have doors around that basically lock you in and a staff member has to press a button to open it for you, even to the restrooms. Seemed a bit much, especially since leaving the restroom requires you to wait for staff to open as well. I remember seeing a lady just standing there waiting to exit the restrooms lol! So odd. Very interesting vibe but seemed more of a hassle if anything. IG: @ammysalamii read more

We came here to celebrate a family member's birthday, and had an excellent time! Entering the restaurant is so fun. When you walk in, it appears as a shop of sorts with knives and art for sale. You are then guided through a door in the back and walk into a dimly lit restaurant. The vibe is moody and modern and fits with the secretive aspect of it. The service was fantastic and our waitress checked in very consistently. We ordered dishes and shared family style, and I would recommend this because you can try more this way. Everything I ate was fantastic. I especially loved the scallops, kimchi steak dish, and the macaroni and cheese. But truly, I don't think you can order something here and not like it. Their flavors and presentation were on point, and definitely match up with the price point. They also have some fun cocktails and mocktails, I tried a lychee drink which was delicious. We will be returning here for sure! read more

Pretentious Host! Had a reservation tonight, made it through open table got a text while on our way at 8:09 our reservation was for 8:15 confirmed we where on our way. Checked in by 8:30 and the host had given away our table not to mention how snooty she has been the last couple times we've been here. She said they could sit us but for an hr since they had another reservation at 9:30, so does that mean you'll kick us out if we exceed that time? Ridiculous! I went back to Open Table to look and they have other reservations available, definitely at a later time but she didn't offer us those?! Please hire someone who can time manage guest and who is friendlier! Not coming back or recommending this place. read more

Love, love, love this place. I can't wait for my next date night to come back. The food was so delicious and high quality - worth the penny. The bartenders are skilled and make excellent cocktails too. My favorite part is the live pianist playing in the background - all of it together makes you feel like you're in another time and place. read more

We've been here before, and were really excited that we were able to walk in and sit at the bar last night. Very dark and moody and has a great speakeasy aesthetic, loved that there were Christmas decorations throughout the room, but not overdone. We ordered a signature cocktail off the menu and I got a dirty martini. We love their glassware and the drinks were delicious. We did not eat this time because the prices are pretty high for drinks and food. The service was quick and attentive and we love this little upscale spot on Main Street. read more

I came here opening night not knowing what it was - they were kind enough to get me in however I had to leave in 45 minutes as it was booked solid. Loved it, bringing a little Speakeasy to main street. Went again last night - great vibe and I love having real mixologists in town. I put my trust in the mixologist, telling her what I like. She made me a fabulous take on a Royal Gimlet (but with lemon). Really good. As far as folks saying it's overpriced, it's a few bucks more than a cocktail anywhere else. Bravo! read more

A speakeasy this cozy is perfect for date night! The evening I visited there was live music and it was packed. Without a reservation I had to wait over an hour, so don't be like me and RSVP! I enjoyed the food but my only complaint was that everything I tried was very sweet. The olives were a great starter and the charcuterie was a nice portion to share but literally all of the savory dishes, even the grilled cheese, had a good bit of sweetness to it (more than a touch). I would say to be mindful of that when ordering, but it was definitely a good time! read more

Old Town Newhall scores again! My wife and I had our weekly date night at Sidecar Market after making a pretty easy to get reservation. (Do that, it can fill up and you don't want to be disappointed just showing up.) The whole experience was fun and delicious...starting with getting through the storefront...I mean I'm not a big fan of knives but appreciated the artistry and the sort of reverse escape room process of trying to get IN to the place instead of out. We were seated at the bar which gave us a fantastic view of the bartenders making their gorgeous cocktails...smoke bubbles on top of drinks was new to us and we loved the ride. Both of our drinks were superb and delivered by a bartender with a whole lot of deep knowledge of what they offered. My wife had a tequila and I had The Last Word Cocktail. All of the good we were brought was also delicious...not a dud in the bunch with decent enough options for vegetarians including the Almonds with Truffles and Parmesan, the Bibs Lettuce Salada, and the super-yummy elevated palate grilled cheese. The menu may change seasonally, so hopefully there will always be a few things for vegetarians. We really loved it in here...everything...the atmosphere, the food, the drinks. We look forward to going back. read more

I love the speakeasy vibe, the food specials are great! We went in on a Wed for a tequila tasting and ordered the poke nachos and it was delicious bc they used kettle chips instead of tortilla chips, so yummy! We also got the flatbread with prosciutto and fig honey and it was sooo tasty! The service is top notch! The bar manager Kailey is amazing and super cool! I highly recommend this place but better to make a reservation, they get packed on the weekends. We're definitely coming back! read more

I love this place - if you're planning on going there on a Friday night call to make sure they don't have live music - it's too loud for such a small location and when we asked if the musician could turn the amp down so we could hear each other, he didn't. BUT the food, drinks and ambiance are definitely worth your time - as long as there's no live music read more

Cutest little gem in SCV. The storefront opens to a smooth speakeasy lounge. Seating for couples or small groups along the wall or step up to the bar and enjoy cocktails and the full menu. The food selection is pretty limited to appetizers and desserts but everything we ordered was delicious. The service was stellar from the hostess greeting you at the storefront to the bartenders mixing up fun drinks. This place is very romantic and sexy. I highly recommend making reservations, but they also take standby. read more

Love this place for beautiful, tasty hand crafted cocktails and an intimate, romantic vibe. Drinks are on the pricier side, about $25 per cocktail, so it adds up quickly.

This is kind of a mini-review...we only stopped in for drinks prior to dinner at Old Town Junction. We showed up in the little art showcase area and the "magic door" was opened for us. It's a really cool vibe inside, long bar on one side and small tables on the other. This is a full service bar with many top shelf brands. My wife ordered here martini (Belvedere, super chilled with lemon twist) and she said it was excellent. My old fashioned was great, and is smoked at the bar. Fun presentation when you take off the coaster and the smoke wafts out. Excellent drink. Staff was friendly and the drinks were good. Prices are up there, but they are hand-crafted cocktails with good ingredients. We're going to go back for drinks an dinner...will update then! read more
