I first stopped by Sidecar during the pandemic for to-go drinks but never made it back to sit and enjoy the space I should have come back sooner. The bar is small, charming, and cozy, with an inviting neighborhood feel. My friends and I grabbed seats at the bar, and the bartender was both funny and skilled, mixing up some excellent cocktails. The whole place probably seats around 30 people, including the patio, which makes it feel intimate without being cramped. I had an Old Fashioned made with WhistlePig, it was smooth, balanced, and perfectly crafted. I'll definitely be back, especially while the weather's still nice in Tucson. read more

This was a cute little spot for drinks. It is a 1st come 1st serve, meaning you seat yourself. So coming on the weekends can get a bit tricky in finding a seat as the inside is rather cozy. They do offer outside seating but with the cold nights may not be ideal. The plus though is they also have heaters for the patio area. The staff were very welcoming, and the bartenders are sweet. The drinks are definitely on the unique side, but the bartender I had was very accommodating in if we didn't like it, just let her know. I can't remember the drink I had but it was pleasantly good. My friends 1st drink, wasn't it, so the bartender made a Mai tai which was much better. Overall, I loved the chill vibes, it's a good spot to either start your evening, or just have a lowkey night. I'll definitely check this out again, next visit. read more

I finally went back after several years. Met with a friend of mine and we sat out in the patio (wonderful addition). The soonest we got there we were greeted and told us we could seat anywhere. Out bar tender brought us the cocktail menu and gave us time for us to order. My friend asked if they could do anything out of the menu and they said yes, she ordered a Paloma with mezcal (very tasty, refreshing, smokey and strong!). I went and ordered the Arosa (very tropical, delicious and strong). You can bring your own food along or order from the pizza next door. The bar has soothing lightning and minimal decoration. Great music and friendly service. read more

Fabulous drinks, all fresh ingredients! Bartenders and other customers were very real and nice to be around as a solo! Side car, the wine bar across the street and Flora are the Trifecta! read more

Sidecar is a great little cocktail bar! They have some great signature drinks but are also more than happy to come up with their own concoction based on your preferences- just give them a spirit and flavor profile, I.e "whisky, fruity" or "tequila, floral" etc. Low lighting and cozy seating helps make this a great spot for a girls night out or to take a date. Bonus points, you can order takeout from the Italian place next door and have it walked over to the bar. Yum! read more

Tucked in the corner in the back of the building, this is a unique bar. Service is always good. Today I came and tried the special "sex and candy" (a tequila cocktail made with pop rocks... How can you go wrong?). It was delicious and as always, beautiful presentation. The bar is Small, but it has indoor and outdoor seating and a good vibe read more

I love Sidecar and I'm not even a big drinker! They have a nice little selection of non-alcoholic options, my favorite being the Orange Almond Julias. I like the outside seating which feels lovely in the evenings when it's dark and the lighting is on. The indoor seating is great also, comfortable booths that you'll often be sharing with others in attendance since they are long and accommodate many guests. It's in a great central location so it makes a good meeting spot. read more

5 Stars - Amazing Cocktails & Outstanding Service! I was visiting from Atlanta and stopped by Sidecar while in Tucson--what a great find! The atmosphere was warm and inviting, with a relaxed yet sophisticated vibe. There was no music, but honestly, it wasn't needed--the ambiance spoke for itself. Trevor, our bartender, was fantastic. He was friendly, attentive, and really knew his cocktails. We tried the Bowed and Tied, the Arosa, and a special drink called the Honeymoon Suite--each one was expertly crafted and absolutely delicious. Sidecar is definitely a spot I'll be returning to next time I'm in town. If you're looking for a place with great drinks and even better service, this is it! read more

Came here after dinner for a nice cocktail. It is a small place on the inside so there wasn't much seating. We came dinner the winter, so the outside patio would be nice when the weather is warmer. We both enjoyed our drinks and would for sure come back! read more

Stopped in here following a wonderful dinner at Falora next door. First time visit - nice tip for newbies, you can have Falora menu items delivered to sidecar while enjoying one of their excellent cocktails from an infinite list. Wonderful vibe, cool setting, solid mixologists, and great customer service. Enjoyed an Oaxaca dry sour, paloma (with fresh grapefruit juice), a flying leap - all spectacular. Everything was extremely clean - will definitely return and strongly recommend. Cheers and thank you to the staff of sidecar for a great couple of nightcaps! read more

Sidecar - Oaxaca Dry Sour and a delicious Paloma. - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

We here had cocktails last night and really enjoyed our cocktails. Not sure if they serve food, but maybe there was food outside. Didn't really notice for sure. The only thing was there are a lot of parties of people in there that were really loud so it could be a little hard to have a conversation with your friend or whoever you were there with. read more

The first time I came here I instantly loved the ambiance. The smell of the fresh orange garnishes, the music, the lighting. Easily my favorite place in Tucson for a drink. My favorite is the prohibition. If you've never been, definitely check it out! read more

I didn't love the drinks this time but since I have in the past I'll definitely still come back. I tried the Cosmonaut, Thyme & Tonic and the Arosa this time. read more

Our go-to cocktail lounge, love sitting at the bar. Would recommend a drink but there are just so many to choose from. Their Kentucky seems to be the most popular, but I think I started with a Prohibition the first time around. My personal favorite (currently) is probably the Oaxaca. Best bang for your buck here, in my humble opinion. 5* = A top favorite. I will definitely return and I will go out of my way to go here. Worth every dime. 4* = Outstanding. Top-tier. Not quite as good as it gets, but it still is worthy of my regular business. 3* = Good experience. I might do repeat business if it is convenient or the only option. Would definitely recommend you trying it to get your own take on it. 2* = Not so good. Would not recommend at all. Waste of money. 1* = Stay away at all costs! read more

It is dark & moody seating inside, but there is outdoor seating and heaters on the side. There is some interesting flavor profiles in their cocktails which I like. They can get pretty busy, but the server was friendly. I really like that you can order pizza from Falora next door and eat it there too. read more

Tasty cocktail options in a vibes space, with lots of outdoor seating and delicious pizza next door. Would definitely return!

We arrived and checked in with the bartender. We sat outside and while my boyfriend went to his car to grab my glasses a server walked by ​ and swiped the menu off our table without saying a word or asking for permission. When my boyfriend returned and questioned him about it he denied it. He said I was mistaken and blamed a group of customers that had just come in. In response he picked up a menu from another table and threw it down in front of us. We reported it to the manager on duty and his response was "sorry it happened you can stay. it's on you" It was very rude and odd behavior. We will not be returning. This happened on a Friday night and business was very slow. read more

This is my 2nd week in Tucson. My mother has been in the hospital and a short stay in a nursing home rehabilitation center. This evening, I decided I should have a fabulous cocktail. I found this place on Yelp, and it didn't disappoint! The menu had a lot of drinks, but I wanted something different. I asked for a sweet tequila drink. They put much thought into it and truly made my night. Ty read more

Sidecar is an absolute gem. My friends and I stopped by for drinks before an event because we could also order from Falora's menu next door - talk about a win-win! The drink options at Sidecar are on point, with a good range of choices, including impressive non-alcoholic options. The vibes are cozy and inviting, perfect for a chill hangout with friends or a date night. The cherry on top? The friendly service that made us feel right at home. Just a heads up - it tends to get busy, so it's a good idea to arrive early if you have a favorite table in mind. read more

Fun cocktail bar with inventive recipes. Great service in a quiet tucked away courtyard. Good seating both inside and outside. Highly recommend coming for an evening cocktail and excellent spot. Also, don't miss out on ordering pizza from next-door. read more

If you go in with the expectation that your drink is going to be pricey, but worth it - this is the bar for you! The drinks are on the more expensive side, however the flavors are top notch and the pour/amount of alcohol is generous. It's a nicer scene and a calm atmosphere. We didn't try a drink that we didn't like! The construction on Broadway is a pain, but worth it to navigate through to this great spot! read more

It is really fantastic to find a Great cocktail bar by accident. We were downtown Tucson at a gin bar called Juniper (also fun and good cocktails) and the bartender recommended Sidecar as another place to try. Wow, Raymond our server/bartender was awesome. His partner behind the bar (don't recall her name) made wonderful drinks and the atmosphere was really great for our per-dinner drinks. Highly recommend getting there if your in Tucson. read more

Sidecar is a gem tucked away on Broadway and Country Club with complex drinks and a beautiful patio! Service is excellent. There's also pizza you can order from Falora next door - we got a pesto pie. Would recommend the Oaxaca Dry Sour if you want to dip your toe into the world of absinthe but want a balanced drink. Arosa is a delightfully sweet and innovative take on the classic Jungle Bird cocktail. Prices are on the higher side for Tucson, but you pay for the quality. read more

This is a hidden gem in Tucson. They have great cocktails and a huge selection of non so common bottles of any type of liquor. Plus you can order pizza from next door and enjoy it here. The service and ambiance is very friendly. Make sure you come early to get seats because it's a small place but so worth it. read more

Not a place to sit and have a drink with friends or coworkers. Sound system is too loud. Left with a raspy voice from having to shout.

I went back and it was somehow more awkward this time. My friend asked for one simple thing to not be added to their cocktail and the waiter was a jerk about it. How hard is it to NOT add something to a drink? He said it would "throw the balance off." Bffr. This place is so pretentious. read more

We love this local bar, the drinks alcoholic or not alcoholic, are unique and delicious. The service is great, always find good music and a mellow crowd. They don't offer food but you can order from next door and they bring it over. read more
