The Sidecar

Hey we finally tried The Sidecar. Was I impressed? No not really. Was it fun? Yes. Will I go back? Probably. Did I like the Paloma? Decidedly no. It's usually my favorite drink... must have been an off night? My husband loved his margarita, and my daughter really enjoyed the zombie. I'll go with one of them next time. What is so fun about this place is the atmosphere. Easy going, casual walk up. Picnic tables painted in fun (sticky!) colors and high tops with stools. Kind of a beachy tiki vibe. Table games are out, you choose your spot to sit. Order at the bar, food is brought to you, carry your drinks. Fireworks after the Tincaps game was a bonus! I'd go again just for that. Restrooms are inside The Copper Spoon. Overall, fun for a couple of drinks and to hang out.

I appreciate your reply to my complaint. No it was not explained to us that we could have gotten our guest that drink inside. No explanation "of where we were sitting" was made. My apologies. I do understand that most businesses are short staffed. We have been here previously and had good service. If we were told that we could have gone inside for that selection it would have been fine. It just wasn't clear what she meant by " we cant get you that drink because of where you are sitting."Thank you for the followup.

Such a cool spot for drinks late at night in the heart of Fort Wayne. A few friends and I came by for the first time while in town looking for a decent sit down bar with cool vibes and this was definitely it! They had the whole thing decked out for Halloween and even had spooky themed drinks. Definitely worth the visit!

I've been to bars/restaurants all across the states everywhere, and I've never seen something like this so it's a catchy unique spot for me.I love the vibe it has but most importantly, I love love, the international rum list and my country made it on their menu ! Which is very very surprising for me as not too many people know of Guyana.

Avoid this place! Drink prices were outrageous. I was charged $20 per drink for a vodka tonic!Update: I am from the Dallas-Ft Worth area and visited on business. I have subsequently asked 3 local bartenders and ALL agreed that $20 for a vodka and Tonic is outrageous, even for a double. My favorite bar, Boomer Jacks, charges $7.00 for a double Tito's and tonic. Is Ft Wayne more expensive than Dallas? This drink was not priced on the menu that I was given when I was seated. My total bill for a hamburger, fries, 3 vodka tonics and tip (20%) was $90!! I will NOT be back.

What a cute little gem this place is!Conveniently located next to Wine Down, and within view of Parkview Field, this place is the perfect mix of cool and casual. With its tiki-bar theme, and its bevy of strong cocktails, this place is the ideal destination for a fun evening on the town. The first time I went, I was with my mom and we stopped in before our dinner at Wine Down. We both enjoyed the beautiful evening out on the patio. I ordered the Frose and she got the Tradewinds. The tradewinds is certainly the stronger of the 2!The most recent time I went, my coworkers and myself swung through after a Tin Caps game. We ordered a nightcap, and watched the fireworks explode over Parkview Field. I've had marvelous experiences the past few times I've gone to Sidecar, and I'm looking forward to more memories here!

If you're looking for a place to relax on a nice weekend evening this is THE place to go. It's right next to the tincaps field which is really nice although on game nights it might get a little busy. I have not tried the food there as I have gone only for cocktails but those are wonderful. I have tried the Paloma, the daquiri, and a few other cocktails and none have disappointed. As a Hispanic, this is the only place I have seen in Fort Wayne that carries 32 oz beers. My friends and I come here as the men in my friend group love it! They have lovely fireplaces and cute little sofa seats on one side for small groups of people. Such a nice touch along with with all the lights and the pretty tiki flowers. It does get a smidge busy so this is definitely a place to go without being in a hurry. It does close in the winter so heads up if you're still thinking of trying it out this year!

If you find yourself in Fort Wayne, Do not order the fries. As I write this, I did not know that you can legitimately get high on salt. They oversalted these poor fries. I work in the food industry and they clearly have a cook who is trigger happy on the use of salt. I cannot tell you how good the fries are because my heart is pacing at some beats per minute. Stunned is a good word to use here. However, this does give me an insight on the food and ... the culture here. I am glad that i was able to try the food through curiosity, but for the sake of my health, I will not be coming back. Thats actually a good thing. If you enjoy the food, please, by all means.... but someone who enjoys the food such as The French Laundry, this is an easy pass.

Fun place to hang with friends while sitting outside! It also is a fun way to be near the Tin Caps atmosphere without paying for a ticket. The drinks are reasonably priced and they have some fun dishes too! The staff is kind and fun to interact with during late weekend nights! They make sure everyone is having a good time!

Came to Sidecar tonight excited to get the Korean corndog again, but it was Barbie night so their menu was limited. :( Their drinks were fun and delicious but was definitely bummed to not get my favorite treat!
