Sidecar Slider Bar - Brighton

Enjoyable place for casual drinks and some tasty food. We came here for happy hour food and drinks and were not disappointed.The bourbon old fashioned was well made and tasted excellent. The coconut shrimp were delectable. I didn't realize the roasted brussels sprouts came with blue cheese, despite it being plainly written in the description. Not liking blue cheese much, this was the only drawback. The truffle fries had only a hint of truffle flavor, but were otherwise quite good. Recommend.

Spoiler. We left. We were ignored.We came in and they were pleasant and immediately helped us and sat us at the only table connected to the bar. We were helped once then completely ignored for 20mins. Bartender was personable but then it's like we didn't exist after he offered non alcoholic beer to my partner (he didn't like it). A few people came in after us and we're immediately helped. Even two waiters at a table. Two other couples got drinks and their orders in while we sat and waited. So we left. Food was pricy, wanted a good dinner and was a smaller menu. Drinks were also expensive and i saw how small they were served. Unfortunately my husband had to leave $20. Wouldn't even go back. First time being ignored while clearly we were there and they were standing around. It was loud and stuffy warm inside anyway.

If you are a fan of sliders, and you happen to be near Brighton, MI, you must stop here! Decent service. Great happy hour menu. Big selection of sliders. If you love spicy food, you gotta try the 9-1-1. The mushroom & Swiss slider is delicious if you're looking for a traditional-style slider. My fav non-traditional sliders were the fried perch and the turkey reuben. And there were so many that I didn't even get to try! My bf is obsessed with this place, so I'm sure I'll be coming here every time I'm in Brighton.

First time at this restaurant where I came specifically for the Happy Hour (3 - 6pm 7 days a week) which this review is solely focused on. Relative to the Happy Hour menu, it includes draft beer, bottled beer, house wines, select classic cocktails and a very nice assortment of what they label as "Shareables" appetizers. Prices were very reasonable ranging from $3 - $6 for the alcohol depending on selection and $6 for the shareables. For our alcohol order my son got one of the draft beers for $3 which he he was very satisfied with and I got an Old Fashion for $6 which is what caught my eye and was the main reason for us trying Sidecar's Happy Hour. Regarding my Old Fashion, I would say it was good but falls short of a Top shelf drink but for the price, I was over the top happy as this is usually a $10 - $14 cocktail in this area. At this price it was a huge bargain which we all can use a little bit more of during these high inflationary times! My only gripe about the drink was that it had no cherry which I so look forward to munching on at the end of my drink. Considering the friendly cost of these drinks though, I forgive the ownership for this small oversight on their parts {:Regarding the food we ended up getting the pretzel bites with cajun seasoning and cheese sauce which was a fairly large portion size and the Coconut Shrimp with chili sauce (6 pieces). Both sharables were very tasty in my opinion and are an insanely good deal where our total bill came in at $23! SERIOUSLY $23 that included alcohol!!!! I think two large size Happy meals at McDonalds will run you $20 these days!!! Overall we were very pleased with our first experience at Sidecar and will definately be returning in the near future to partake in their Happy Hour (probably over and over again). If you are in the Brighton area and love a good Happy Hour at really good prices than this is a business not to be missed.

I dined here on a weekday evening with a friend. We were looking for a quick bite to eat, and this place hit the spot. We made it in time for happy hour, which offered good prices on both appetizers and drink. I had a delicious old-fashioned, and we split an order of coconut fried shrimp. I believe that there were five shrimp in total--perhaps a bit low for the price. From there, we moved on to the sliders. I highly recommend them! I had the portabella with fried goat cheese as well as the mushroom and Swiss--both terrific! On a return visit, I would love to try the PB Jammin' as well as the Mac sliders. The service was attentive but not intrusive, and I recommend a visit.

First time. Arrived at 4pm and pleasantly surprised during happy hour. Many discounted shareable for $6, I selected the coconut shrimp (6) with chili sauce and pierogis (6) cheese filled, caramelized onions, bacon bits, and spicy sour cream. Draft beer Cheboygan lighthouse amber $4. The coconut shrimp was good, the chili sauce more sweet than spicy. Glad I tried the pierogis, but did not care for the spicy sour cream, I would recommend to have the sauce on the side. Great happy hour.

Still not fond of the chicken sandwich. I contacted them via Facebook and they suggested I try the grilled chicken. I have since tried the impossible burger and it was yummy. I also LOVE their brussel sprouts. And as always service is great.

Enjoyed the food and service. Pickle chips were awesome and tried a half dozen or so sliders. Will be back for sure

Very good appetizers and drinks, prices and wait staff, nice decor. Bar tender is friendly but very loud he is always talking 20 decibels above everything else, so it seems more like a college bar than a nice hangout in Brighton.

Pours are very light and the wait time for food once you order was extremely long. The waitress was nice and apologized for the managers behavior. You can't bring your drinks from downstairs to up stairs to meet the rest of your party or the manager will kick you out. They lost our whole party because one person brought a glass of wine from down stairs upstairs when the place was empty already. Second time this was a disappointment. Much better places in Brighton to go to than this place.
