Had an amazing time at Sidecar for happy hour. We sat a table outside on a beautiful day. I opted for wine which was delicious and wings. I had to get two orders of wings because they were fantastic! Our waitress was very attentive and sweet. Glad it was a better experience in person.

Sidecar is the greatest place of all time. My wife and I have been long time patrons. The staff are all amazing and the food speaks for itself. FYI - Brunch is just as good as dinner!!! Maybe even better. Seating availability has everything you could want - long bar, intimate seated tables (two floors) and an outdoor sections as well. On this day we had brunch and got some favorites: chicken biscuit and the quesadilla. The entire menu hits.

I went for their drag brunch and it was so much fun! It comes with a free mimosa. The show does start an hour late. Bring cash for tips. I got the stuffed grilled cheese, it was so crisp and gooey came with crispy potatoes and a side salad! My friend got the veggie burger and really liked it. The portions are large and you definitely get a lot for the price. The service is really slow, but there was only one waiter for the whole upstairs.

I've been to Sidecar Bar & Grille a couple of times. It's a neighborhood bar that has something unique in Philly. Detroit style pizza! It's delicious thick crust pizza that you can only get in square slices during happy hour. Outside of happy hour you have to get a whole pie, but you will not be disappointed that you have some left over for the next day. My preference is the pepperoni & sausage pizza. It's really good. I've also tried their burger, which was a nice juicy perfectly cooked to order burger. The burger is a great choice if you aren't in the mood for pizza. The cocktails are well made and service is very friendly. Maybe a bit too friendly, as on one visit a mentally unstable man decided to come in and harass people and it took a bit too long for security to force the man to leave. But they do have security and did get the man our of there so I could go back to having a good time at the bar with my friend. I'll definitely be back for more of that Detroit pizza.

A fantastic neighborhood bar. Who couldn't love a late night happy hour where you can get a Founders IPA on draft for $4? Count me in all day. Service is great with friendly staff members who go above & beyond. Pizza is dank & literally 4 servings for such a solid price point. Catch me here as a regular the next few years as I am just around the corner.

Loved sitting outside. Service was good and they have basic fare but with a twist so it feels a bit nicer than typical bar food. I would definitely come back! Highly recommend sitting outside if good weather.

I have walked by this place countless times but Sunday afternoon, I made it my destination. I met my daughters here for brunch and it was delightful. We weren't able to score a table outside on a beautiful, breezy day but sitting inside worked out just fine! It's a cool bar with a great Philly vibe. The brunch menu is good! Lots of choices. We all really liked our food. Try one of the toasts! The sourdough bread is so good and it's makes for a hearty breakfast. I also must add... their French fries were so good! The service was great... we ordered up lots of mimosas and stayed a while and we weren't rushed at all. Such a good day at The Sidecar! I recommend this Philly staple!

Wow, I am so impressed with my recent experience here! I hadn't visited Sidecar since the new owners took over and I am so happy I came back last night. Not only was the food delicious, but the service was so attentive and the food arrived in a very timely manner. We tried the brussel sprout appetizer and the burger. Both were so tasty and arrived warm and perfectly cooked. There is both indoor and outdoor seating. The outdoor seating has multiple heaters and would be the perfect place to people watch when the weather warms up. Can't wait to return again soon!

I've tried dozens of pizza places in Philly and this is for sure my favorite! They have a great Detroit-style crispy and chew crust, with a savory and slightly sweet sauce. The whole pie is around $20 and is plenty to split between 3-4 people. I've tried their burgers before but don't think they are anything special to be honest. They also offer a nice variety of beers. There's plenty of seating on the lower and top floors and usually never have to wait to sit with a party of four. The ambiance is like any other American bar, with sports games playing on the TVs. There's always great service as well!

In this house, we stan sidecar at all times. Their food is spot on with the taste. Everything is portion correctly. The service is amazing. The vibes are clutch. The whole experience is what you want from a good bar with good food. Went for happy hour and got a $10 burger with a beer. How can you beat that? Also go to their drag brunches on some Sundays. You don't want to miss out.
