The editorial take
Sidecar Barley & Wine Bar runs a serious cocktail program with a smoked-glass Old 'Smokey' Fashion and a ghost-pepper GTO Margarita. The wine list spans sparkling to Napa Cabernet, while a deep spirits rail reaches Louis XIII. A dedicated zero-proof section rounds out a menu that covers every base without coasting.
- What should I order?
- Start with the Old 'Smokey' Fashion, a $10 mix of Elijah Craig Small Batch, demerara sugar, and Angostura finished in a smoked glass. For heat, the GTO Margarita uses ghost-pepper-infused tequila and cucumber. If you want something lighter, the zero-proof The Razor delivers cherry, almond, and pineapple without the alcohol.
- Who will enjoy this place?
- Cocktail enthusiasts will find a creative, well-balanced list, and whiskey drinkers have serious options from Macallan 18 to WhistlePig Boss Hog. Wine lovers can work through a by-the-glass list that spans sparkling to Napa Cabernet.
- What should I expect to spend?
- Cocktails run $8 to $13, draft beers $6 to $7, and zero-proof drinks $8. Wine by the glass starts at $8; bottles range from $31 to $100. Spirit pours climb to $95 for premium selections like Louis XIII.
- What makes the beverage program distinctive?
- The cocktail menu leans into house-made components and theatrical touches—smoked glasses, a pinot noir float, ghost-pepper infusion. The spirits list reaches Louis XIII and WhistlePig Boss Hog, while the wine program keeps everyday bottles accessible.
