Sidecar Social Club - Phoenix

This has got to be the most underrated bar in phoenix. Great atmosphere and great drinks. They do the basics very well but also have a great cocktail list. My go-to spot. Best sidecar I've ever had, I know it's in the name, but it's made with gin along with cognac. I've tried to replicate it, but it's never as good. I'd put this up against any of the top bars in phoenix but I also love how easy the whole experience is here unlike some other overhyped trendy bars in the area

Sidecar Social Club at Ocotillo restaurant is a true craft cocktail bar in Phoenix. I savored two masterpieces: Purple Does Something Strange to Me with Kentucky bourbon, Mexican rum, and elderberry honey a delightful light sipper, and Azteca featuring Mexican whiskey, mezcal, and amaretto, an inventive twist on the Oaxacan old fashioned. The culinary adventure continued with a flawlessly crafted beet salad, where smoked beets, ricotta, arugula, pecans, and honey mingled in perfect harmony – an ideal choice for a balmy Phoenix summer evening.

The Side Car is the main event at The Ocotillo. Friendly EVERY time we went in. We thought we would change it up one of the times we visited to see how the other people lived. We tried to eat in the Ocotillo. The restaurant was completely empty and we were turned away for nooooo reservation (said in a snooty and pompous accent). So we returned to the Side Car and completely enjoyed ourselves.Thank you to all the staff at the Side Car. Don't change a thing.

Such a cool and unique spot. The Sidecar bar area has a great vibe, and the outdoor space is great for enjoying those beautiful Phoenix evenings!

A delightful surprise. Loved the atmosphere and the service
