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

Sidecar - Pine and pomace - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

The ambiance of this place is great. I love the casual, cool vibe with cocktail classics and specialty drinks. Great date spot, great people watching, and of course excellent drinks. Looking forward to returning with a few more friends! read more

Exceptional cocktails, exceptional bartenders. The mark of a great bar. If you're deep in the bleeding edge of cocktails, the Josias and rye hanky panky are the best things on the menu as far as I'm concerned. Layered, complex, and flavor for days. The bowed and tied is really fun too, but you can't go wrong on the menu I had, it's all great! And the bartenders are absolute sweethearts that really take care of everyone and know their stuff. Shoutouts to Amanda and Sophia who are lovely. The place also encourages delivery from the pizza place next door which looks great and any good delivery apps because they don't serve food. Highly recommend if you want to try a few drinks and not get drunk off your badonkadonk! The ambiance here is also exceptional with leather faux roof tiles as wallpaper and beautiful wood and leather accents thoroughout. So far the best cocktails I've had in Tucson! read more

Been awhile since I've been here so this review is long overdue. Sidecar is an excellent cocktail bar with a rotating menu and good vibes. Will defend be back next time I am in the old pueblo read more

As a California girl, this is my favorite bar in the desert. Twinkling lights, sitting outside on the patio in 60 degree weather in the winter, and cute drink in hand? Make this your next date spot! Amazing drink selection and great vibes. read more

Sidecar - Bar area - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

What a cool little bar! I especially liked the atmosphere, although we sat outside. The bartender was very helpful, providing great descriptions of the drinks we were considering (pages of specialty cocktails), and I thoroughly enjoyed my Oaxaca Dry Sour. If you're hungry, you can order pizza from Falora Pizza next door, but there are quite a few restaurants pretty close by. read more

Friendly, polite, personable staff members; and among the best cocktails I've ever tasted. Willingness of bartender to make a drink with my own idiosyncratic touches. Attractive outside area and comfy inside. read more

I am so glad we made a stop here for our date night. Like many others, we have limited our stays in restaurants and typically take our meals to-go. However, with their seating options, we decided to stay for a couple drinks. The patio and inside were both great options, but being the only ones at the time, we decided to sit inside. The two bartenders working were friendly and continued to make some beautiful cocktails. We may sit inside all the time just to watch them make the drinks. This was my first time here so we tried a variety of drinks. Honestly, I would order any of them again! Their drinks were so good and the atmosphere was very welcoming. Great stop whether you just want just a moment to unwind, or a long night of delicious drinks. read more

Sidecar is certainly a great place to have drinks with friends on the late nights. I've returned to Sidecar twice and their unique drink menu is a plus! However, I do not recommend the food.. It was highly unseasoned and surprisingly not the best at all. I was disappointed considering their drinks have a wide variety in selection. Service is fine. read more

Seriously delicious cocktails. Inside is small, dimly lit, and intimate. Outdoor seating looked charming under lights and heaters against the brick building. Loved. read more

Sidecar - Lemon drink with foam! - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

Nice place and amazing drinks. Really enjoyed our evening there. Will recommend! No food but you can order from restaurant next door

Went to Sidecar to kick off our date night. Everything was so good! We started off with the Prohibition (California Brandy, Curacao, Lemon & Orange Bitters - shaken, up) and the Bowed & Tied (White Fig Rum, Dry Sherry, House Orgeat, Citrus) while we people-watched to a soundtrack of 80s and 90s classics! Feeling fancy, we followed up with the Garden Song (London Dry Gin, Cocchi Americano, Cucumber Shrub, Celery Salt, Peychaud's) and the Rye Hanky Panky (Cardamom Rye, Bitter Vermouth, French Vermouth, Fernet, Calvados, Agricole Rum, Burlesque Bitters, Mole Bitters). We'll definitely have to come back! read more

Awesome craft cocktails. Nice space for the experience. The bartender really makes sure you enjoy their creations. And the glassware adds to the experience. read more

Nice small neighborhood bar that specializes in tasty mixed drinks. Why only 3 stars? I ordered a "Kentucky" served in an 8 ounce lowball glass. The drink flavor was fantastic. Problem was the bartender fill the glass with ice cubes to the brim. I was served a glass of ice with a couple ounces of drink. Bartenders.... a couple ice cubes is all it takes to chill a drink in a small glass. read more

Drink menu was great & creative. Patio is really nice and would be great in the summer but in the Fall/Winter it is too chilly as there are no heaters although the space is open for seating as the inside is small with limited seating. Service was fine but waiter didn't seem to have to time for pleasantries. read more

Cutest bar in the middle of town. Their cocktail menu is fabulous and they have a great atmosphere to enjoy your drink in or outside.

If you're looking for a locally owed Tucson spot for a decadent cocktail and hip atmosphere, look no further. Sidecar is the spot to experience boutique beverages and the service is fantastic. The last time I ventured in was four years ago and I'm sad it took this long for me to go back (I mean, there was a pandemic, lol) Last experience was also sensational. This time around was just as good as I remembered. I'm thrilled they are still in business post Covid, and the mixologists are highly skilled. We brought a friend in from out of town with a small group of local friends and we each ordered our favorite cocktails. Since I enjoy rum I asked the bartender to surprise me and the result was absolutely delicious. It was a smooth slightly citrus tasting cocktail that was perfect. Gin drinks, beer and whiskey was also ordered and everyone agreed all was excellent. We plan to head back over the holidays again with friends to try other house specialities. Again, we love this Tucson spot. read more

Delicious cocktails, always come for the bowed and tied and the Kentucky sidecar. Highly recommended! Wish I had the appetite (and $$$) to try all their cocktails! Around $10 per cocktail. read more

After my friend and I explored around downtown Tucson for Second Saturday, we decided to wind the night down at this bar. I wish this place was closer to downtown because we really enjoyed our time here. Like the name might suggest, this place makes some amazing Sidecar's. Probably the best I've ever had. Strong, sweet, and beautifully garnished with sugar on the edges and lemon peel. I had at least two of those before the night was over - simply sublime! The atmosphere inside for a Saturday night was great. Not so crazy or loud that you find it difficult to hold a conversation, but happening enough that we were able to have some fun people watching. The bartenders were really friendly, and there was a place to easily fill up waters for yourself if you needed some re-hydration. Easily my favorite bar in Tucson thus far (in my limited experience)! read more

Fun little side bar...nicely crafted drinks...smaller selection of beers. From my understanding food is ordered from surrounding businesses and you can bring it over to their patio. Their customer service was top notch. read more

This is a great little speakeasy type bar near Country Club and Broadway. It will be a fun spot to stop before picking up Friday Foccasia at Barrio Bread. I'm scheduling our date night now. I had the rhubarb drink special and it was very refreshing. Nice ambiance, and great service too. We'll be back! read more

I enjoyed this place and the atmosphere. A little loud in the main room for conversation, but the location and service was great. Our server came around frequently to make sure our drinks were refreshed. Try it out. I think you'll like it. read more

Delicious craft cocktails, great service, talented bar tender. No food, but you can order from the excellent place next door!

My friend came to town for work from Virginia. She asked me to find a good cocktail bar. I'd heard of Sidecar from all my Tucson friends. I drove down from Phoenix to take her. She is an international traveler born and raised in Europe. She raved about her drinks. She had the Kentucky and the Cosmonaut and raved about how incredible they were. read more

Sidecar is the perfect balance of casual and modern, providing a comfortable ambiance for any day of the week. Jazz and funk music sets the vibe which lends to the energy of the open room! Their selection of craft cocktails is the main draw here, and they do it perfectly in front of you. The ingredients are fresh, and the technique skillful. Come here after a night of sushi, work or to start! Drinker tip: Saddle up at the bar to watch craft concoctions come to life! read more

I came here with my wife for an evening cocktail and more importantly, a cigar on the patio which is rare to find a place that allows smoking. Tobias served us and he was awesome! Very personal, accommodating and knowledgeable. We will definitely be back. read more

Love this place! Small selection of well crafted, unique beverage concoctions. The bartenders recommendations have been spot on as well. Usually go on Sundays, and it's never loud or packed. They have awesome music and a relaxed, soothing atmosphere. Check it out! read more

Want a classy, romantic, yet rustic bar? Come here and see what drinks these guys are whipping up. Very cozy and relaxed. You could definitely come here and order a drink then read a book, converse with someone, or even just kick back and watch the world go by. The drinks stand on their own merit, very well balanced. 5/5, would definitely return. read more

Love this place for happy hour! I've gone several times, right after work and its perfect to meet a friend or two. Their cocktails are really good. I've order the Thyme & Tonic cocktail a few times and its so refreshing! But the thyme is a perfect herb to give it a little punch. They also have beer and wine, and I love wine so that's always a nice alternative. For me, I really appreciate it when the wine glasses are larger (for red wine) and very clean. Sidecar's wine glasses pass my test with flying colors! Great place! I plan on stopping by again maybe for pre-dinner cocktails. read more

Great people with lots of talent. I had several cocktails and im wanting to go back because I hear the pizza is good. Definitely looking forward to my return. read more

If half a star was possible I would give one. My husband and I were hoping to enjoy a nice drink with our newborn. According to the waitress they don't allow babies, which is not stated on yelp pr their website. We are extremely disappointed and have been going here for years. I have never heard of such a policy. FYI our newborn was passed out and we were hoping to sit outside on the patio and enjoy the nice weather. Just lost our business. read more

Excellent neighborhood craft cocktail spot. Here, you are not served by bartenders - you are served by mixologists. With that in mind, expect exquisite drinks!! My go-to here is a pisco sour. It's not everyday you find a place with pisco, let alone a well-made pisco drink. For me, this is an indication of the high-quality of their drinks. There menu offers a variety of other cocktails, all made very well. My friends and I have never had a disappointing drink made here before. They also serve a smaller selection of beers and wine (for those who aren't craving a mixed drink). I like this spot. It's kind of dark and hidden away. But don't let this turn you off - it's spacious, has outdoor seating, and has a cute interior. On weekdays it's pretty quiet inside but on the weekend, expect to see the neighborhood crowd! Tucsonans like their alcohol and know where to get good drinks! Sidecar is a cool spot. If you haven't tried it already, you should. Bring some friends, have a drink, and hang out! read more

Sidecar - Hanging out! - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

My pet peeve is bars where you get chastised for asking to accommodate food allergies/averse reactions to ingredients. This is one of them. If you're gonna have two whiskey cocktails on your menu and they have to be made with rye and no other whiskey or you'll die of artistic compromise or whatever, you're probably not as creative as you tell yourself. read more

Very cool bar with great drinks and staff. Really enjoyed it - a great evening with creative cocktails.

What a fun place. Great, friendly staff, fun drinks. Quietly tuck off the main drag with outside seating where there wasn't any street noise. I'll be back!! read more
