    Salmon dish
    Chat S.

    Didn't feel like driving into town for my birthday (the big party was planned for another day in Marina Del Rey), so we decided to keep it simple and have a nice, quiet early dinner at the speakeasy at Sidecar. I've always been curious about this spot, and to my surprise, it's actually Santa Clarita's very first speakeasy... how cool is that? We've been loyal fans of their sister restaurant next door for years ...it's our go-to for breakfast, brunch, or dinner ... so trying Sidecar felt like the perfect next step. And wow... what a great choice! The cocktails were excellent. They made my Old Fashioned exactly the way I like it, and my partner loved their gin and tonics. The servers were absolutely wonderful (I feel so bad I forgot their names!) and made the evening feel extra special. The vibe is warm, cozy, and stylish ... perfect for a relaxed night out. Honestly, it was such a sweet way to kick off my birthday celebrations. We'll definitely be back again soon!

    Whipped Feta, olives, the signature, dirty martini
    Roberto B.

    Ambiance 3/5 - without showing pictures of the inside and ruining the speakeasy mystery, you enter the place through a store front. The store front sells hand made knives, lighters and art. Its a very small store front, but personally it sets the tone before entering. What gives this a 3/5 stars is the art work. Think of the Ed Hardy era that never left, the art on the walls looked like pictures you took for Instagram and saturated them with multiple filters. This is a complete 180 from that actually bar itself; very elegant/ old school. Service 3/5 - Very friendly service, but came around only before you placed your order and after you were done with your meal. We ordered a extra dry dirty martini and our server asked if we wanted regular olives or stuffed blue cheese olives so we chose the blue cheese ones. I don't think it was conveyed correctly to bartender, since the martini was very vermouth forward and the olives were the wrong ones. Food/ Drink 2/5 - The olives were an interesting twist from the regular salty ones you usually get. These were sweet and had a nice spice to them. The whipped feta was underwhelming. Best way to describe it was the flavor was there with the tapenade and the tomatoes, but the texture of a "whipped" feta was not it was flat and runny. It was served with with regular store bought bread. Note to the owners: this dish would make a killing if you get the texture right, and instead serve it with the focaccia you have on the menu. The ragu was good but I could pass on it, as we said while eating it "it's an elevated Chef Boyardee". The signature was the only part of our meal that I would say I would get again, it was a great balance of bitters and sweetness to the bourbon and having the coaster sit on top of the smoked drink while it arrives gives it a good presentation. This place leaves a lot to be desired. It being one if not the only speak easy in Santa Clarita makes it stand out, but once the novelty of that fades, you're left with an overpriced lackluster meal.

    We absolutely love having this gem in our community. I love a good speakeasy, not only for the ambience but for the drinks. The place is tiny and intimate so ideal for a couple or a small group before, food is great, drinks are amazing and Service is even better. On weekends they'll have life music, which is a really nice touch.

    Chocolate mousse pie

    Showed up on a last minute whim and they were able to seat us despite not having reservations. We were seated at the bar which we were ok with. The space is small and intimate, perfect for a date night. We started the evening with some drinks, my husband ordered The Manhattan and I ordered the Cali 75. The Manhattan was pretty strong and the Cali 75 was excellent. As an appetizer we ordered the meatballs with focaccia bread - this was so good and I highly recommend it! As our main entree my husband ordered the special, which was grilled shrimp on top of some hummus, he said it was light and tasty and thoroughly enjoyed it. I ordered the kimchi rigatoni and it was delicious. To end the night we shared the chocolate mousse pie - which was simple but delicious! If you're looking for a date night spot in the Santa Clarita area check this spot out - it's worth your time!

    Came to Sidecar for the first time over the weekend and I can't stop telling everyone about it. The drinks were absolutely beautiful and delicious ..both people I came with loved theirs too. We ordered a few snacks and every single one was a 10/10. Such a cute spot with great vibes, and I already can't wait to go back!

    I think this is the only 1 speakeasies in Newhall. It is located right at the old town Junction restaurant. It has 2 entrances. One through the restaurant and other one from Main Street. Drinks were excellent. The olives was good too. Highlight was the saxophone . Overall a nice place to grab quick drink. We tried the black manhattan , olives , cheesecake , Lychee Martini. Everything was great.

    Didn't expect to be dropping by this speakeasy but my bf and our friends were doing a bar hopping night and I happened to tag along at the end of this one. This is located along Main Street in Santa Clarita, beautiful strip and highly recommend visiting. They don't have a big flashy sign outside and they have a tiny little itty bitty sign on their door. From the outside, it honestly just looked like some kind of office front with a receptionist selling real estate or something. The door has to be opened by the front lady, I waited there till she did. The door to the actual bar is hidden and she pushes a button to let you in. Going inside felt like a super secret hideout lol. Super small inside but still really nice and fancy. Honestly we all felt out of place but from what I can tell, their food and drinks are pretty and good but overpriced. I had a bit of whatever cobbler was left but I wasn't feeling it so I didn't eat much. The bartender brought me water immediately as soon as I sat down. I didn't order anything since we were basically about to head out to the next spot anyway but I may want to try it next time! They also have doors around that basically lock you in and a staff member has to press a button to open it for you, even to the restrooms. Seemed a bit much, especially since leaving the restroom requires you to wait for staff to open as well. I remember seeing a lady just standing there waiting to exit the restrooms lol! So odd. Very interesting vibe but seemed more of a hassle if anything. IG: @ammysalamii

    We came here to celebrate a family member's birthday, and had an excellent time! Entering the restaurant is so fun. When you walk in, it appears as a shop of sorts with knives and art for sale. You are then guided through a door in the back and walk into a dimly lit restaurant. The vibe is moody and modern and fits with the secretive aspect of it. The service was fantastic and our waitress checked in very consistently. We ordered dishes and shared family style, and I would recommend this because you can try more this way. Everything I ate was fantastic. I especially loved the scallops, kimchi steak dish, and the macaroni and cheese. But truly, I don't think you can order something here and not like it. Their flavors and presentation were on point, and definitely match up with the price point. They also have some fun cocktails and mocktails, I tried a lychee drink which was delicious. We will be returning here for sure!

    Love, love, love this place. I can't wait for my next date night to come back. The food was so delicious and high quality - worth the penny. The bartenders are skilled and make excellent cocktails too. My favorite part is the live pianist playing in the background - all of it together makes you feel like you're in another time and place.

    Royal Gimlet (with lemon instead of lime)
    Laura G.

    I came here opening night not knowing what it was - they were kind enough to get me in however I had to leave in 45 minutes as it was booked solid. Loved it, bringing a little Speakeasy to main street. Went again last night - great vibe and I love having real mixologists in town. I put my trust in the mixologist, telling her what I like. She made me a fabulous take on a Royal Gimlet (but with lemon). Really good. As far as folks saying it's overpriced, it's a few bucks more than a cocktail anywhere else. Bravo!

Sarah is super friendly, explained the menu and provided great table service. They have a large wine selection. My wife ordered a chardonnay and I stuck with an Arnold Palmer. We ordered their bruschetta appetizer, served as six pieces of toasted bread and the expected toppings. It was a perfect start to our meal. We were not super hungry, and selected a three-cheese charcuterie board. You are able to select your cheeses, and Sarah again helped us make our decision. It was perfect for a summer-weather afternoon (although in March) and we chatted, had our drinks and picked at the board until it was gone. During our meal, Sarah was very attentive to our needs. My wife tried another chard, and we ordered their banana dessert, which had great flavor and was a nice end to the meal. This is a great place to quietly enjoy some wine, beer and food. They have a good sized menu and offer a brunch menu on Sundays. (Diane, Sarah needs a bonus, she made the evening much fun).

The host person she was amazing and friendly and I'm sorry I didn't catch her name but she's been there for a long. Your wines are good little pricey for my taste for the options you get of mostly just red's or for what you get. I wish you had a better variety of whites. Anyways, we got in there. We sat on the couch in the front unfortunately for us. It was the only day we can come and they had a Christmas in July thing going on in the streets. Unfortunate for me as I've had a knee replacement and we drove around for 30 minutes trying to even find a parking spot to get in there cause we had to pick up our wines with the subscriptions /membership that we had. My daughter and her friend were there and enjoy their selves immensely so with all the hype that she was telling me about this place I was excited to go, but like I said, unfortunately, you were having Christmas in July nothing but screaming kids running around and the streets were packed... not what I wanted for a relaxing environment. But once we got into the establishment, like I said, we sat on the couch we started to have our tasting. It was peaceful and quiet and then all of a sudden these family start walking in with all their kids and it became a romper room. This is a winery. This is a place that adults go to relax shouldn't have children running under foot while you're trying to taste wines or just relax. That was the biggest disappointment I have with this place is that you allow children to run around I will not return. I'd rather go to a wine where I can relax... Again, the girl that waited on us absolutely amazing. She gets five stars. The fact that she let children and all this ruckus in there three star.

The staff is all smiles and very welcoming, happy to help you navigate the very interesting bill of fare, and making sure your cocktail is made exactly as you like. I was dining solo, so I sat at the bar, and James took excellent care of me from start to finish. I asked for a Bombay Sapphire Martini with Olives; James immediately offered regular or blue cheese-stuffed olives, and asked if I preferred the martini shaken or stirred. The drink that emerged was well-balanced, cold and very tasty. The menu is filled with all sorts of interesting choices. Some are familiar items like salads and fishes and hamburgers or cheesesteak sandwiches done in their way -- but my eye immediately went to a very unique starter: Duck Fat Potato Confit. Say what? As James explained, it is a whole potato that has been slow cooked in duck fat (confit, as we know) and served as the main attraction in the dish as one might similarly feature a duck leg or short rib. I had to order this, and it turned out to be one of the most rewarding dishes I've eaten in a long time. The aforementioned, slow-cooked potato initially appears a bit like a whole boiled potato, but looks are deceiving. Because of the cooking method, the potato holds it's consistency and shape much more than a boiled or baked potato, cutting almost like a protein. It's solid but tender, and as it has absorbed quite a bit of flavor during the cooking, this potato is far tastier on its own than those other iterations. But you are NOT eating this potato unadorned. Oh no, this potato is dressed with caramelized onions, smoky bacon lardons, wild mushrooms and a rich, very flavorful demi-glace. All together, you've layers upon layers of flavor that make you ignore all distractions and really concentrate on the pleasure you're getting from your food. But that's not all... Perhaps the cleverest element of a dish composed entirely of clever elements is the Mornay Sauce. Snow white, and with enough of just the right cheese to add texture to the Bechemel without becoming too powerful, the sauce is plated on the bottom, with the potato resting atop it. Visually, this looks like mashed potatoes served underneath a protein, and it plays the same role texturally -- but because you wouldn't serve potatoes with a potato, the sauce is a lighter accompaniment, whose flavor marries perfectly with the more complex sauce coming from above, and you cannot help but marvel at this stroke of culinary magic. Just wow. I finished with a dessert of Key Lime Budino, which was rich and creamy with a serious hit of sour from the Key Lime. A nice and refreshing shift after the savory richness of my entree. How lucky are the people of Newhall and Santa Clarita that they have a restaurant making such interesting and excellent food? I come up at least once a month for a music event, and how lucky am I to have discovered this place to eat beforehand? And by the way: if you live in the San Fernando Valley, this place is really less than 30 minutes away (without traffic), so the next time you're thinking of going over the hill to a place in Beverly Hills or Santa Monica, you may want to head North instead. I promise you, The Old Town Junction will become your new favorite.
