    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.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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

    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!

    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!

    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!

    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!

    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!

    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

    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.

    This place has been on my must-visit list for new Tucson beer bar. I finally made it here on a…read moreTuesday night with less than an hour before closing. My first impression is the outdoor-friendly design, with a bar that is half al fresco and the other half inside. Shutters can close the al fresco section out during inclement weather. It was a quiet evening, with a few diehard clients at the bar. I walked in, studied the rotating menu, and settled for the one wheat beer on the list: #18 Enegren Schoener Tag Hefeweizen (5%ABV) from Moorpark, CA. It was quite flavorful with good mouth feel. I sat al fresco at the bar looking in. I enjoyed the ambiance. The inside is designed for groups to sit together and talk while sampling beer or wine. Four TVs were on the wall as an afterthought. The beertender was busy cleaning equipment before closing, but he explained to me that while the beer list rotates, the first five are staples, dominated by sours and IPAs although several lagers are also available. There is plenty of parking in the rear although I noticed that lighting is only toward the strip mall. The rear spaces are dark. I asked about dogs. Only service dogs are allowed.

    First time here and I'll definitely be back. I had no idea they had such a spacious spot. I only…read moreever saw the outdoor portion. Huge selection of beer.

    I'm happy to have finally gotten a chance to visit Unicorn Zebra since it's been on my list from…read morethe time they opened. It's a fun and also elegant atmosphere with the zebra theme clearly exemplified across the space. I would have to say this is one of the coziest bars I've been to, the furniture and seating is really supportive of a long-term visit. There are other levels, lower and an upper level besides the main space, but be aware that if there are parties, they can typically take up different areas. Our bartender, Sarah was fantastic! The way that she handled all of the guests and the busy field was incredible, so calm and collected, and furthermore making some really incredible drinks. Heads up that the online drink menu is not the current drink menu, I couldn't remember all the names of our drinks and put those in the photo captions, so when I checked on the website, the menu was showing something different other than what I saw at the bar. Out of several places I've been to, I'd say the mixture of flavors and details in the drinks are quite unique. I'll be back for more one day

We'd heard good things about this place and have been trying to support local downtown bars this summer, so we stopped in around 11 on a Friday night before heading home. As we sat down, we watched the bartender be pretty dismissive toward another group at the bar, so we were already a little unsure. We started talking about the decor because we liked the eclectic vibe. We jokingly pointed out that one of the pictures had a joint instead of a cigarette because someone in our group hadn't noticed. One of the bartender's first comments back, completely seriously, was, "I'm from San Diego. Have you never seen art before?" Honestly... what? It was such a weird, unnecessarily condescending response. I brushed it off at first as awkward banter, but it was a really strange first impression. The drinks were decent. The Loverlist was really good, and the Unicorn Fluff and Old Fashioned were fine. The bartender was quick to talk up their whiskey selection, but when we asked for a recommendation, she mostly gave reasons why she couldn't recommend anything and just kept saying they had "over 90 different options." Without a whiskey menu to look through, that wasn't especially helpful. We also asked for a shooter and were offered half of a cocktail instead. That would've been totally fine on its own, but combined with everything else, the service just never felt welcoming. We ended up leaving pretty quickly. I'd give the place another shot because the atmosphere is fun and has a lot of potential, but hopefully with a different bartender behind the bar.

    UPDATE: I originally had a negative experience due to service from one staff member, but I want to…read moreupdate this after speaking with the owner, Rebecca, and the manager, Ashley. They were both incredibly kind, took the time to really listen, and genuinely understood my concerns. That meant a lot to me, and it's clear they truly care about their guests and their business. I also appreciated how personable Rebecca was, she was very present, empathetic, kind, and understanding, acknowledging that the situation had been handled very poorly. I've always loved the food here, you can taste the quality, creativity, and mindfulness in everything. Every other staff member I've encountered has been wonderful as well. The atmosphere is warm, inviting, and honestly a great little getaway. Because of how this was handled and the consistency in everything else, I'm updating this to 5 stars. It's the kind of place where you can slow down, unwind from life's demands, share an impressive bite, and enjoy a glass of rosé while taking in the ambiance. I definitely recommend supporting this local business. Rebecca is a genuine, savvy businesswoman, and I really respect the care and intention behind what she has built. Cheers to letting the sunshine in and the dark cloud fade away. (Original review below for context) Very disappointing experience. Our server, Bryce, was dismissive, rude and inattentive from the start. He wasn't checking on our table at all, and we had to flag him down just to get drinks. We were still eating and planning to order more food and drinks, but service never improved. After waiting with empty glasses, I went inside to order another glass of rosé for myself and a second gin and tonic for my friend. That's when he told me he was "closing us out" and that we needed to leave. This was completely unprovoked and said in front of the bartender and other staff, which made the situation uncomfortable and unprofessional. We were not intoxicated or disruptive in any way. I had only had two glasses of rosé and was trying to order a third, and my friend had one cocktail and was ordering her second. The third glass I did receive appeared under-poured, which added to the overall discomfort, but at that point we were just trying to enjoy our time and catch up. It was surprising that a server would take it upon himself to cut off and remove guests under these circumstances, especially when basic service had not even been provided. Because of this, we chose not to order additional food or drinks. I've been here before with friends and clients and had good experiences, which makes this even more disappointing. This experience completely changed my impression, and I will not be returning

    Our friend highly recomended we go to Sunshine Wine last night, and the location was lovely and the…read moreservice was fine. My concern is with the food--none of the dishes we ordered tasted good, and the price was high for the portions we received. The ceasar salad, for example, was bland, and the dressing was salty and bitter. When compared to the salad at a restaurant just down to road, I found this one inedible. I rarely write reviews and I don't do this in a mean-spirited way--I would love to see a local restaurant and bar succeed. It is just that we paid $83 for two drinks and 4 small plates, and couldn't eat two of them and left hungry. I hope the food can improve!
