Best place to chill and have a great glass of wine and great beer. This place is all about relaxing and getting away. Pay no attention to the one star reviews as those who play that way are clueless. The location, facilities, service, and offerings make this a must do in Dripping Springs.

Whoops I accidentally ate it all! Lol. It s savory, not salty, fresh and delicious - The best bruschetta I think I ve had here in Texas! And there s a lot of mozz, tomato, onion and herbs. Great light/early meal for 1-2 people. Price is on point. You ll be happy.

I really wanted to love this place. We went here a couple weeks ago with some friends. Before we went there, I called to make sure it was okay to have a well behaved dog on a leash with us. They said of course. When we arrived, it was a bit crowded and we saw another dog (elderly dog) in one corner with the owners, so we chose the other side of the room to not disturb the dog. We got a bottle of wine, which was decent, and some appetizers. About 30 min in, a medium sized dog came barreling in from the back door with no leash. It was clear the dog was a puppy and friendly, but with our dog with us (over 100 lbs) and an elderly dog in the back as well, the dog had no boundaries and we were concerned someone would get hurt. No one at the bar seemed to care that the dog was doing zoomies around the bar. I grabbed the collar of the loose dog and asked whose dog it was and the bartender pointed to a man who just walked in. Neither the bar tender nor owner of the dog cared that this dog was jumping all over people and loose (mind you they serve food, we had glass on the tables, etc). The bar tender said the dog s name was Nellie (or something) and she s a regular. The owner just sat at the bar and drank while his dog was going nuts. The elderly dog s owners came up and asked if the owner needed a leash for his dog because it was scaring her dog (leashed and behaving in a corner). The owner said no. So this poor couple who had been quietly minding their business in the back with their old dog said, that s fine. We will take our leashed dog and leave. Neither the owner nor bar tender even apologized to this customer. Then, the owner of the loose dog grabbed a long cable and tied his dog up outside in the 40 degree cold to the front porch area of the bar where people walk in. That poor dog was tangled up on the front porch using some long cable line as he went back in to drink. I m not sure if this guy lives there and chains up his sweet dog, or if he s a regular or what. But the way this was all handled was shocking to me and many others at the bar. We won t be returning.

We arrived at our Airbnb late Friday night for a romantic weekend. The atmosphere was very relaxed but fun. Live music via piano player was going on when we got there. Anne helped us choose drinks - I got 2 flights of 3 wines and a full glass of one and my boyfriend got some dark stout beer. It was the perfect place to ease into our weekend. Anne ended up giving us some brochures for around town and just made some casual recommendations for things to do and really set us up for the next couple days. Would definitely go back. Bought a Viognier and Alicante Bouschet to take home

Live show tonight! Jennifer and Rob are mad talented!! The wine is delicious, though $10 per glass seems a bit steep. Cozy atmosphere and knowledgeable staff. However, the front stage is poorly lit, obstructed by multiple umbrellas and, for some reason, has an intrusive tree embedded in the center of the stage!! Relocating the stage to the grassy area would benefit the artists and the patrons.

Pulling up to the Tasting Room was very appealing. We went on a Friday evening, only one person working the bar. We wanted wine and some food and reviews showed a menu. We bought two wine flights for all the reds. The bartender mixed the glasses so we don t know which was which. Only food offerings were Yapa Empanadas, which were good and was told you can buy them at the farmers market. Food was served on paper plates and semi warm. Not really worth $50.

Decided to try out Sidecar on a whim without expecting much more than a quiet night out with my man. Instantly we were impressed with the atmosphere and the bartender went over and above to make us feel welcome. After a brief stint trying a small number of the delicious selection of wines, the live music started, blowing us away with his skill and the overall volume, not overwhelming but still clearly audible. Overall, Sidecar is a fantastic place and we re luck to live to close to such a fine establishment. Highly recommend, a well earned 5 stars.

Had a lovely night here tasting great wines outside under the fairy lights with gorgeous live music. Only reason I gave 4 stars is they ran out of their only food (empanadas) before 7; we had been planning to snack on those and hang for a while but had to leave to go get dinner elsewhere.

Cute place but not very acomodating. Came in as a group of five and heard the bartender talking about how annoying groups are. We asked for the wine flight and were told that we had to do make a reservation to do the flight. We did check online prior to out arrival to make sure we wouldnt need a reservation. Just disappointed because we were in town visiting and wanted to support local buisness, felt very let down.

We had planned to come here a year ago for my boyfriends 30th. We ended up going somewhere else but came back for our other friends birthday this year. This was probably one of the best visits that Ive ever had at a tasting. The staff was so friendly, knowledgeable, an professionally made all of our other birthday stop obsolete. Definitely planning to recommend to everyone!!!

Sidecar is an extension of the Bell Spring winery. Think if it as the tasting room in town. Inside is very cozy with several seating areas. There is also a large outdoor area. They have trivia one night a week and a rotating selection of wines. Great place to enjoy yourself. They offer meat and olive trees but you can also get tapas from another local eatery.
