The Sidecar at the Tap

Great spot for a drink. The service was great and they do have a small menu. If you're coming with more than 4 people it might be a tight squeeze as the space is narrow. Ambiance is modern 60s with cocktails and glassware to match.

PSA: @thesidecarmpls is the hidden gem MPLS has been sleeping on! this cozy neighborhood speakeasy is serving up craft cocktails that don't miss, Minnesota-nice service, FILLING shareable bites & EASY street parking (!!!) PLUS, you won't need to break the bank to enjoy it. Reasonable prices = more to order for LESS.the charcuterie board is a must-order, same with the espresso martini.

Nice bar in the area open for happy hour and for drinks. Was visiting and met up with a friend for dinner. We went here during happy hour before our dinner reservations and got a round of drinks and fries. They have a wide variety drinks and options, a honey menu and all of the classics. I enjoyed their Espressotini,Positive effect, and their hot toddy. Nice little bar and I really enjoyed the music they played. The bathroom lights are pretty bright. There's some street parking and some lots nearby.

This was such a fun spot to stop into. Pictures to show little bits on the ambiance. Perfect spot for a little happy hour. I didn't see a food menu but it looked like there were some options based on people eating around us.

We had a great time at trivia last night! This is our second time attending trivia here and the host is phenomenal! The menu consists of upscale style cocktails that have a lot of great diversity in flavors and spirits. The drink list is very reavive and has many things I haven't tried before which is exciting as someone who frequents cocktail bars. I tried their version of a hot daddy which included a jalapeño element as well which was fun. I'm a huge spice fan so I liked the drink but if you are spice sensitive this one is definitely not for you. My partner tried their martini as well and enjoyed. The ambiance is cute and bougie with a slight romantic feel. There is booths, tables, and bar seating available. We additionally tried their chicken sliders with fries this time. We've had their Brie cheese curds in the past and loved them as well. The sliders were good but the fries were an up charge of $4 for super underwhelming/average fries. For that much of an up charge you would expect them to be better or get a lot of them, and the fry portion was slightly under average if anything. Additionally, service was near painfully slow and inattentive despite the place being more than half empty. There were only a total for 4 trivia teams and a maybe two tables and the two bartenders didn't often circle, check in with people, and seem to be very interested with engaging with the clientele. We had to wave to get someone's attention to order food, we would've ordered dessert but no one ever checked in or offered. Additionally, no one asked how our drinks or the food was. Maybe I'm just sensitive as a server but I was super underwhelmed. Additionally, when we arrived they invited us to choose a table we wanted - we chose, and then they clarified that the table was fine for tonight but usually they didn't allow couples at their booths. Once again, totally fine, but don't ask me to choose and then dislike my choice. It's much simpler to just guide clients to where you'd like them to sit or address the issue of how many are required in a party to sit at a certain table only on nights when it requires it otherwise it just read as slightly awkward (once again - majority empty venue). We'll probably return for the trivia because the host was so great but the service was just meh. Drinks are fun though!!

Great service, decent food, yummy drinks, for a great price.Came on a Thursday evening and it was quite empty. Service was really quick and the bartenders were knowledgeable. They suggested delicious drinks and the Nectars Wild was so good! Perfect for those who don't like the taste of liquor. Sweet and tastes like juice. Cocktails ranged from $10-15!The food wasn't the greatest food I ever had, but it was filling, yummy, and at a great price point. The garlic fries were delicious though. Definitely a nice place to hang out. I'd 100% return!

Stopped by here for a late night drink and apps. It was a beautiful night and open air dining room felt good. The server was very courteous and let us know that their kitchen was closing soon. He sat us and requested that we sit inside as they were closing the outside.We ordered some drinks and the fried pickle and cheese curds. The drinks were good and they have a eclectic selection of beers too. The fried pickles were very good and even though these were no state fair cheese curds, they were still tasty.A good place to get some drinks and hang out in a relaxing and casual environment. This second time here won't be my last. Especially when you have the parkway theater right next door.

Cute but small place. A group of us came out for happy hour and sat in the back and narrow area of the bar. Drinks were yummy, but by the time the 6th person came (a few more on the way), they asked us to move to the restaurant next door (Townhall Tap). I took away one star because they were not as friendly when they asked us to move.

We loved it! Love the atmosphere, nice but also cozy. Our server was solid, great attitude and attentive. I love the unique drink menu, with lots of cocktails you can't get elsewhere (they even use Aquavit in a couple cocktails on their menu which few places use). They have a huge variety in their offerings - it was hard to choose!! Drinks tasted great. Didn't try the food so we can't speak to that. It was a bit loud, but it is a small space and it was a Friday night. We loved it, we'll be back!

Beautiful dimly lit setting with background music; speakeasy feel. Classy speakeasy drinks on the menu plus a plenty of unique ones. Rotating sours and barrel aged beer: service was decent. No complaints. They do have a small menu which I posted a picture of.
