This is a very nice, low-key, chill spot that feels upscale when you walk in, but still casual enough to relax and enjoy yourself. The ambience is really well done. It has a classy, tasteful speakeasy vibe without feeling overdone or pretentious. They also have a private room that would be great for a special group gathering or a more intimate celebration. The grand piano in the room adds a really elegant touch and makes the space feel even more elevated. We went on a Monday night, so it's hard to say what the normal energy is like on a busier evening, but the overall atmosphere was still very pleasant. Service was friendly and attentive, which I appreciated. The only thing I would have loved was a little more creativity or guidance with the cocktails. The space gives the impression that you're about to get a true mixologist-style experience, but the recommendations we received were pretty standard, like Old Fashioneds and martinis. We were hoping for something a little more unique or original, maybe a twist on a Sidecar or an elevated take on a classic Old Fashioned. That said, it's still a beautiful spot with great ambience, pleasant service, and a very nice overall feel. I would definitely go back, especially on a busier night to see the full vibe. read more

Great atmosphere love the live music and the drinks were expertly crafted. I wish I would have got the name of the band that was playing. I would love to come back when the kitchen is open and try some finger food. read more

Just down a couple of stairs to the basement bar and it almost feels like a trip back in time. We had dinner next door and then walked to this little gem. They share a parking lot with the Muck and Fuss. There is street parking as well, just be sure and read the signs and download the app to pay. read more

I've been wanting to try this place for the longest and it did not disappoint, I enjoyed EVERY SINGLE MINUTE of it, our server was amazing and so attentive, the first drink I had was el scallywag, it was ok but the bitters kinda have a cinnamon taste to it that I did not practically enjoy but the QUEEN drink OMGGGGGGGG it was amazing, so amazing I had to have 2!! I needed something to snack on and my neighbors were enjoying the chicken picatta dip so I ordered one, OMGGGGGGGG this dip was AMAZING, matter fact I'm still thinking about it right now, even if you're not hungry you need to get it and experience it because it's just that good, this place is definitely an amazing vibe for a date night or just a night hanging with your girls, it did not disappoint and I had an amazing time, I can't wait to return! Especially to get that dip! read more

Quaint speakeasy located in the basement of the Prince Solms hotel, with some of the best drinks in New Braunfels! A lowkey spot with excellent cocktails and snacks, I would highly suggest making a reservation prior.

Date night at sidecar was a hit! If you're looking for a speakeasy with a jazz band this is the place for you. Of course we had some drinks. The cosmo and paper plane were fantastic. Then ended with a razzle dazzle and an old fashioned . All the drinks were balanced very nicely. We had a couple of tasty snacks. The cast iron dip and the focaccia flatbread . We joyed both very much. Looking forward to next time read more

A friend found this place after a quick google search and we decided to stop by for a round after dinner on Saturday night. It was pretty busy but we were able to snag a table for two. They had a live band that was AMAZING. I mean wow they were great. My friend and I were not even talking to each other because we were enjoying their music and commentary so much. I wish I could remember their name! Now let's talk about the drinks...WOW. Truly some of the best drinks I have ever tried. These are pro bartenders for sure. We came for a single round and ended up staying for three - I just could not get enough of their "DAAAAANGGG" drink. If you are a tequila drinker, do yourself a favor and get it. It makes my list of top 5 cocktails I have ever tried. Our server Margarita was so nice, and provided fast and polite service despite being busy. The speakeasy feel, the amazing drinks, the great service, and the live music made this place one of the neatest bars I have ever visited. A must try for sure! read more

We've visited the Sidecar several times and always enjoy it. We typically enjoy their happy hour on weekdays. Their drink prices are great and they have a nice selection of tasty food items. They have a piano player on most nights that adds nicely to the cozy, dimly lit atmosphere. It;s located in the cellar of the historic Prince Solms Inn. I'd advise making a reservation as you might not get seated without one. I usually order a Sazerac cocktail. read more

I was super excited to try this place out for a date night. We ordered the tuna nachos, smashed potatoes, and crab cakes. Let's get to the positives. The ambience is spot on beautiful, staff were nice, the crab cakes were good, and prices seemed fair. However, the smashed potatoes had a weird flavor to them. It was as if they had blue cheese in them, but the menu didn't note blue cheese. The dish was mediocre. The tuna nachos were not good at all. The dish was served cold. The tuna was so cold it made the wonton chips and toppings cold. I checked in with the server and she confirmed it is meant to be served cold. It would've been nice to see that listed on the menu. I've had tuna nachos at other restaurants that have been amazing. They've always had freshly fried wonton chips that were served hot and the tuna was seared enough to be room temperature. The nachos also had way too much hoisin sauce which made the nachos very sweet. The sweetness and the cold together killed this dish. read more

Always have a great time. The live jazz band is amazing and the eats are yummy too. Only thing is full menu is rarely available.

In from L. A & I was introduced to this gem by my friend who moved out here a couple of years back. We came here with her family and we all absolutely loved it. The ambiance, live music, and historic and intriguing hotel upstairs made this place memorable. Cannot wait to go back and revisit this location. read more

Went for a rare mid week date night to enjoy some piano and Whiskey Wednesday. The place was pretty packed when we got there but since we had it reservation, I was still seated promptly. Nick was our server for the evening. We ordered a bourbon old-fashioned and I ordered the knock knock. We also ordered a charcuterie board. The drinks came out pretty quickly, and Nick gave us water in the meantime, which was nice. The knock knock. I questioned if it was a correct drink because it had a honey like flavor to it too, which Nick explained that the whiskey that is used has that flavor in it. I never heard of that particular brand of whiskey, so I took his word for it. The drinks were quite good and the charcuterie board. It was also quite good. However, it took roughly 40 minutes to get the board and when I asked Nick how much longerit may take, he responded with if I had seen how many people were in the place when we walked in. He said that the kitchen is pretty busy and there are only two people back there. Like OK well, it's still been 40 minutes but I get it I guess. He said it will be out when it's ready. ‍ well... I'd hope so read more

The vibe is so lovely here; nice and cool on a hot Texas day. The decor and live piano is incredible every time. Would recommend booking in advance because it is a small place and fills up fast. Our server and the staff were all very lovely and well versed in the menu. The food and drinks were on point and exactly what you would want for the price you are paying; so worth it! read more

We made reservations here kinda last minute and were able to secure them via Open Table! We decided to go early because there were Happy Hour Specials. We walked in, and were greeted by a beautiful hostess. We told her that we came early, and brought an additional guest. They were able to fit all 3 of us in quickly. There was a charming older gentleman playing the piano and the ambiance overtook our expectations. It was our perfect idea of what a speakeasy should be. Our guest said, "It was the perfect spot for a date, and he was "definitely coming back"!!!! The drinks were perfect and the server, Dacia was wonderful. The Old Fashioneds are top notch and well as the seasonal Summer drinks they had suggested! We can't wait to go back! It was perfection!!! read more

Great ambiance cocktails and service. Will definitely be spending more time here in the future. Funkton cocktail was dope.

I love the Sidecar! Great signature cocktails and small plates to share. Located next door to Muck & Fuss and attached to the Prince Solms Inn, you need to look for the staircase going down to the left of the hotel entrance. Speakeasy ambiance and attentive service. The bar has seating for only 6. I recommend making a reservation unless you arrive shortly after they open. Nothing I've ever ordered here disappointed. read more

This place is the definition of a perfect speakeasy. The low lighting, the drinks, the atmosphere... it is near perfect. Would highly recommend talking to Nick at the bar.

I really wanted to love this place because I'm a sucker for speakeasy style bars. The ambiance hit the mark, but I think they forgot the liquor in the cocktails. So only order drinks where that can't happen, i.e. Manhattan, martini, etc. read more

Very small. Reservations recommended. There is a small bar too but it gets crowded quickly. The drinks were amazing and there was a very large selection of specialty drinks and a full bar. Not cheap but worth it. The Cuban sliders were really tasty and so was the hummus and feta. All the food is appetizers and there weren't many selections but they were quite tasty. The flan was some of the best I've had. If you're wanting more than appetizers I recommend eating at the Muck and Fuss next door and making your reservation for Sidecar a bit later. The music was great. We had piano first and then a big band jazz quartet. Both very talented and the piano players voice was that gravelly Tom Waits style that I really like. All around it was a great experience. The service was busy but polite and quick. I recommend it. read more

Great atmosphere......piano bar on weekends.....fantastic bar.....recommend highly suggest a sit at the bar for a personal experience!!!!!!

What a cool vibe! I met my cousin here for a cocktail and I felt transported in time to a secret hideout with fancy special drinks. Their Tiki Tuesday special offerings were delicious and well-priced (they have different specials each day). We felt their food prices were a bit high for our regular budget, but fancy enough to justify the cost for an occasional splurge. I'm looking forward to going back with my husband. read more

The drinks here are amazing with wonderful bartenders. The speakeasy feel is a nice departure from the typical New Braunfels German theme. The smoked old fashioned and Lion's tail are must orders.

I love a good speakeasy. While this isn't a speakeasy in the traditional sense, the craft cocktails certainly exceed the mark. When I arrived I realized I should have made a reservation, but the friendly staff happily sat me at a table right in front of the piano. A delightful player played songs from a bygone era as I ordered off of their House Cocktail menu. The Smooth Criminal was delicious, I highly recommend it. But then I noticed a QR code on the menu that showed all of their spirits. When I saw Absinthe, I immediately asked for a Sazerac. I was not disappointed. My waiter was knowledgeable and a gracious host. When I asked him for a suggestion off menu based on my enjoyment of the first two cocktails, he immediately recommended a Corpse Reviver No. 2. Gin, lemon, and absinthe were the featured notes and I was sold. Amazing! Fantastic cocktails, top-notch service, and a wonderful atmosphere. Next time I'll book a reservation for dinner! read more
