    We really enjoyed this spot. Prime location in downtown Gainesville. Cozy interior. Drinks were very well made, and the food was fresh and tasty. The sauce for the meatballs was fantastic, and I'd highly recommend the bruschetta. Service was overall good, but a little on the slow side.

    Get the pizza! It's amazing. Great location, good service and the server was able to make me some sweet tea so that's a win too!!!

    I checked out Sidecar Gainesville for a drink on a Saturday evening and there was a lot to like. Sidecar shares the space with V Pizza so you can get your pizza fix while also enjoying some cocktails. I sat at the bar and perused the list of craft cocktails. The menu is wrestling-themed which was pretty cool. I always appreciate a bar that does cocktails well and Sidecar delivered. Service was friendly and efficient. The ambiance is trendy. Definitely a cool spot to grab a nice drink.

    Such a cool vibe especially at Christmas time. Bartenders are very quick and knowledgeable. I ordered the espresso martini and it was excellent!

    This place is awesome! We were in town to watch a ballgame and looking for something to eat and Search Yelp for recommendations and found this place. Their cocktails were good. My husband and I ordered the Mai-Tai and was very good and strong . We normally get extra Myers on top, but not needed at al. We ordered the Carnivura Pizza and it was the bomb! The. We had the mini Canoli for dessert, which was okay, nothing especial, but definitely will come back next time we are in Gainesville are.

    Sidecar is one of our favorite date spots, lunch or dinner. We are especially fond of many of the masters of mixology behind the bar who we knew from other establishments like Fluid. We can always know that if we are consistently looking for a good cocktail, I mean a real drink, not just some rum and coke, that Sidecar won't disappoint. I would always recommend whatever the drink of the week is and asking anyone behind the bar what they would recommend or if they are mixing up some new concoction you could try! I will say they are reasonably priced and it's a very low key atmosphere with high tops and their bar. It's a great spot!

    Dinner Bruschetta with burrata.

    We've been here plenty of times throughout the years and usually sit at the bar and have a few cocktails. The bartenders have usually been nice enough but this last time Maggie was just above and beyond! She was knowledgeable and friendly it was an amazing time. The bruschetta was legitimately one of the best I've ever had, add the burrata with it for sure! The bread is super soft and so flavorful.

    Sidecar Gainesville serves some of the best cocktails in Gainesville & is in my top three for bars in the city. DRINKS (4/5): Very varied and creative menu. Multiple collaborations with other local businesses (coffee roasters in town, etc.). Happy hour specials from 4-7. ATMOSPHERE (4/5): Sidecar is adjoined to V's pizza and shares the same room. This allows you to order food from the bar if you like but also changes the atmosphere to a more "restaurant" vibe rather than a "cocktail lounge" vibe. SERVICE (5/5): Very friendly and helpful bar staff. Always willing to give recommendations and suggestions.

Especially for the prices ! Too many options to go back and have another bad experience.

The arugula gave it a fresh, peppery lift, and the harissa aioli tied everything together with a warm, subtle heat. The fries on top added the best crunchy contrast.
