    This was a cute little spot for drinks. It is a 1st come 1st serve, meaning you seat yourself. So coming on the weekends can get a bit tricky in finding a seat as the inside is rather cozy. They do offer outside seating but with the cold nights may not be ideal. The plus though is they also have heaters for the patio area. The staff were very welcoming, and the bartenders are sweet. The drinks are definitely on the unique side, but the bartender I had was very accommodating in if we didn't like it, just let her know. I can't remember the drink I had but it was pleasantly good. My friends 1st drink, wasn't it, so the bartender made a Mai tai which was much better. Overall, I loved the chill vibes, it's a good spot to either start your evening, or just have a lowkey night. I'll definitely check this out again, next visit.

    I first stopped by Sidecar during the pandemic for to-go drinks but never made it back to sit and enjoy the space I should have come back sooner. The bar is small, charming, and cozy, with an inviting neighborhood feel. My friends and I grabbed seats at the bar, and the bartender was both funny and skilled, mixing up some excellent cocktails. The whole place probably seats around 30 people, including the patio, which makes it feel intimate without being cramped. I had an Old Fashioned made with WhistlePig, it was smooth, balanced, and perfectly crafted. I'll definitely be back, especially while the weather's still nice in Tucson.

    I finally went back after several years. Met with a friend of mine and we sat out in the patio (wonderful addition). The soonest we got there we were greeted and told us we could seat anywhere. Out bar tender brought us the cocktail menu and gave us time for us to order. My friend asked if they could do anything out of the menu and they said yes, she ordered a Paloma with mezcal (very tasty, refreshing, smokey and strong!). I went and ordered the Arosa (very tropical, delicious and strong). You can bring your own food along or order from the pizza next door. The bar has soothing lightning and minimal decoration. Great music and friendly service.

    Fabulous drinks, all fresh ingredients! Bartenders and other customers were very real and nice to be around as a solo! Side car, the wine bar across the street and Flora are the Trifecta!

    Tucked in the corner in the back of the building, this is a unique bar. Service is always good. Today I came and tried the special "sex and candy" (a tequila cocktail made with pop rocks... How can you go wrong?). It was delicious and as always, beautiful presentation. The bar is Small, but it has indoor and outdoor seating and a good vibe

    5 Stars - Amazing Cocktails & Outstanding Service! I was visiting from Atlanta and stopped by Sidecar while in Tucson--what a great find! The atmosphere was warm and inviting, with a relaxed yet sophisticated vibe. There was no music, but honestly, it wasn't needed--the ambiance spoke for itself. Trevor, our bartender, was fantastic. He was friendly, attentive, and really knew his cocktails. We tried the Bowed and Tied, the Arosa, and a special drink called the Honeymoon Suite--each one was expertly crafted and absolutely delicious. Sidecar is definitely a spot I'll be returning to next time I'm in town. If you're looking for a place with great drinks and even better service, this is it!

    Came here after dinner for a nice cocktail. It is a small place on the inside so there wasn't much seating. We came dinner the winter, so the outside patio would be nice when the weather is warmer. We both enjoyed our drinks and would for sure come back!

    Oaxaca Dry Sour and a delicious Paloma.

    Stopped in here following a wonderful dinner at Falora next door. First time visit - nice tip for newbies, you can have Falora menu items delivered to sidecar while enjoying one of their excellent cocktails from an infinite list. Wonderful vibe, cool setting, solid mixologists, and great customer service. Enjoyed an Oaxaca dry sour, paloma (with fresh grapefruit juice), a flying leap - all spectacular. Everything was extremely clean - will definitely return and strongly recommend. Cheers and thank you to the staff of sidecar for a great couple of nightcaps!

    The first time I came here I instantly loved the ambiance. The smell of the fresh orange garnishes, the music, the lighting. Easily my favorite place in Tucson for a drink. My favorite is the prohibition. If you've never been, definitely check it out!

    Our go-to cocktail lounge, love sitting at the bar. Would recommend a drink but there are just so many to choose from. Their Kentucky seems to be the most popular, but I think I started with a Prohibition the first time around. My personal favorite (currently) is probably the Oaxaca. Best bang for your buck here, in my humble opinion. 5* = A top favorite. I will definitely return and I will go out of my way to go here. Worth every dime. 4* = Outstanding. Top-tier. Not quite as good as it gets, but it still is worthy of my regular business. 3* = Good experience. I might do repeat business if it is convenient or the only option. Would definitely recommend you trying it to get your own take on it. 2* = Not so good. Would not recommend at all. Waste of money. 1* = Stay away at all costs!

    This is my 2nd week in Tucson. My mother has been in the hospital and a short stay in a nursing home rehabilitation center. This evening, I decided I should have a fabulous cocktail. I found this place on Yelp, and it didn't disappoint! The menu had a lot of drinks, but I wanted something different. I asked for a sweet tequila drink. They put much thought into it and truly made my night. Ty

    Not a place to sit and have a drink with friends or coworkers. Sound system is too loud. Left with a raspy voice from having to shout.

    I'm happy to have finally gotten a chance to visit Unicorn Zebra since it's been on my list from…read morethe time they opened. It's a fun and also elegant atmosphere with the zebra theme clearly exemplified across the space. I would have to say this is one of the coziest bars I've been to, the furniture and seating is really supportive of a long-term visit. There are other levels, lower and an upper level besides the main space, but be aware that if there are parties, they can typically take up different areas. Our bartender, Sarah was fantastic! The way that she handled all of the guests and the busy field was incredible, so calm and collected, and furthermore making some really incredible drinks. Heads up that the online drink menu is not the current drink menu, I couldn't remember all the names of our drinks and put those in the photo captions, so when I checked on the website, the menu was showing something different other than what I saw at the bar. Out of several places I've been to, I'd say the mixture of flavors and details in the drinks are quite unique. I'll be back for more one day

Same charms, different bartender, and new summer (May) craft cocktails that have become quite substantial (see pic of double-sided menu). Though we arrived at 4:10 (right after their usual 4p opening) on a Saturday, no happy hour, but we were first patrons and grabbed the big bay window. We are both on a mezcal discovery kick and ordered the Black Cathedral ($16) and the Girl Dinner ($16). Each was as described (pic) and delicious. We had dinner plans and needed to leave at 5:15 - just as things were picking up. We'll definitely be back sooner.

We were a lively group of seven, and after our meeting we even celebrated my birthday. From the moment we walked in, I was impressed. The restaurant is bright, inviting, spacious, and has a warm, modern atmosphere that immediately makes you feel comfortable. The food was outstanding! Our table enjoyed a delicious variety of favorites, including Elote Nachos, Shrimp Ceviche, Mac & Cheese with Chicken, and several Happy Hour entrées. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. And if you visit, do yourself a favor--order the Margarita with Tajín (that perfect blend of mild chile, lime, and salt). It was absolutely delicious! What truly made our experience memorable, however, was the exceptional hospitality. Manager Edmont and our server Olivia treated us like old friends from the moment we arrived. They were attentive, fun, and genuinely made us feel welcome. The highlight? Edmont surprised us by leading our group in the Tucson High Badger Fight Song after learning we were alumni! Talk about going above and beyond. To top off a wonderful evening, we shared a warm Cinnamon Roll Bread Pudding complete with a birthday candle--a sweet ending to a fantastic celebration. Redbird isn't just serving great food; they're creating memorable experiences. I also appreciate that they partner with local businesses, something that speaks volumes about their commitment to our Tucson community. If you're looking for a wonderful place for Happy Hour, dinner with friends, or your next celebration, put Redbird Scratch Kitchen + Bar on your list. Stop by--and tell them the Badgers sent you!

Love the wall of chianti bottles that lead to the bar and love that the staff dress up in casual Prohibition garb. Came here for girl's night and it was everyone's first time even at the restaurant but mine. I'd had dinner a couple times in the restaurant for my birthday and had the cheese wheel fettuccine alfredo. I asked if anyone was interested in trying it and so 3 of us split it which ended up being pretty perfect. It is hands down THE BEST fettuccine alfredo. We had many drinks come to our table, the first round being the homemade limoncello. Made with local Meyer lemons, it is deliciously potent. A must try. The bartender, Ryan or Brian, he made cocktails from the heart. A couple of gals ordered "dealer's choice" drinks and they were inspired by the drinker's stories. It was really a unique experience for them and I could almost see his mind working out the chemistry of the libations. Another must try, although I didn't because I had to drive myself home. I did have a coffee with Bailey's, Amaretto, and freshly-made whipped cream. Last must try if not on a coffee drink maybe on a dessert. One person in our party thought that the drinks were on the spendy side. Many of the ingredients were house made and all top shelf. I'm from Los Angeles so an $18 drink was a normal night at the klerb. Worth mentioning if that would be a deal breaker. Worth a go. I thought it was better than the speakeasy at the Sonoran House which was too bright and not intimate. You really like feel more like you're not where you're supposed to be at The Still. There is a curio cabinet with cigars that I think are for sale. The speakeasy opens up to the patio for all the smoke suckers. Great for a small groups or date night, maybe not the first date.
