Sidecar Social Club

Good atmosphere. Great drinks and mixologists. Tyler was very skillful and shared some magic with toquilla. Will drop in every time I am in the area.

First of all, I love the ambience! It's perfect for groups and/or date night! However, the service here was absolutely atrocious!! We got there at 5:30 pm, hoping for Happy Hour. We were told we could only do happy hour at the restaurant and not here at The Sidebar. However, when we sat at the bar, the waitress gave us happy hour menus! Really? Anyway, we ordered our food and drinks. Soon afterwards, a table opened up so we moved. Our food finally came out, but I ordered a cheeseburger and it came out w/o cheese! Before I could tell the server that my burger had no cheese, she was gone! I waited another 10-15 minutes before anyone came to check on us! I told the person about my cheeseless cheeseburger and they brought out a piece of cheese 7-8 minutes later!! WTH!! Wean while, my friends ordered the smoked beets but they forgot, so my friend flagged down a waiter and asked for her order! It came out with the cold piece of cheese! (Insert eye roll here!) I'm willing to give this place another chance because it as such a cute place! However, get your servers trained on customer service! There's no excuse for a place this cute to have such subpar service!!

The patio here is perfect for Arizona spring! I ordered the Miami Nights cocktail and it was delicious--rum, coconut, and fruity!

UPDATE: the new menu is written in hipster and I tried to give it a shot but those drinks are nasty. What even are those ingredient combos. A real shame. This was my families favorite spot, we used to crave drinks on the old menu. We were very disappointed to see this major change, and now we will not be back. On to the next.

Intimate bar tucked away on the Ocotillo property. It's the shipping container, but inside it feels like a swanky cocktail lounge. We enjoyed the atmosphere - the red lighting, black marble, and leather. We loved the Purple Does Something Strange to Me (bourbon, rum, aperitif, elderberry, pineapple, lemon). We thought the Serpent in the Garden was okay, it was like a spiked chili soda (gin, rum, chili, cucumber, ginger, lime, carbonation).

Four stars for the bartender. Bartender was extremely nice and helpful and recommended great drinks. Even remade them if it was too bitter. Ambiance is very cute, outdoor seating as well as indoors. Lights hanging. Ordered ahi tuna - lacked a lot of flavor. We squeezed lemon on it to help. Got the shoe string fries, the dijon/ Mayo sauce was very good. Would come back for drinks again.

Still one of my faves. Friendly staff, cool menus, fun drinks.

Such a cozy little cocktail bar dishing up some very delicious and unique drinks. Stopped in on a Friday around 5 and it wasn't too busy so we snagged one of the plush comfortable booths in the corner. Our servers were very prompt and attentive. They offered a lot of good drink suggestions based on our various cocktail tastes. We enjoyed the setting sunset over the bar. I ordered the Aviatrix which had such a delicious foam on top. My friends had the Berry Hot Head and the Signature Sidecar which were both amazing drinks as well. I'll be back to try more drinks on their menu! They also serve the entirety of the Ocotillo menu. We ordered a strawberry and ricotta appetizer to share which was immaculate and so fresh. Overall I recommend Sidecar Social Club for a laid back cocktail experience in a lovely ambience.

We came here a few weeks ago on a Saturday night around 11pm. There were only a few other people here. I am guessing this is more of an early evening spot. The AzteCa tastes like an old fashioned. Elegance is refusal is decent but not my fav. Aviatrix is very unique and I really liked it. They have a dog friendly patio and they brought out water for our dog. Service was excellent.

Very cute bar with comfy booths which were great after our dinner in a restaurant with very uncomfortable chairs. Overall, I found the drinks to be on the sweet side and could use a few tweaks to better balance them. We ordered the eggplant meatballs from Ocotillo and they were fantastic. Service was great. It can be difficult to find - if you see signage for Ocotillo, you're in the right place. Parking is plentiful.
