The Sidecar - Fort Wayne

Sidecar seems to have lost its charm. While the bar still maintains its tiki theme, the cocktail menu now features very few authentic tiki drinks. Instead, it primarily offers quick, fruity options like palomas and margaritas. It used to be one of the coolest cocktail bars, known for its amazing tiki cocktails like the 3 Dots and a Dash, but it now feels diluted. The absence of the skilled bartenders who were passionate about their craft is noticeable. The last drink I ordered was a disappointment; it tasted overwhelmingly like a lump of lime, which was quite unpleasant. I hope they can make some adjustments and reconnect with their original roots, as right now, I have no desire to return, especially for the prices they're charging. They've also trimmed down their gluten-free offerings, which included gluten-free buns for sandwiches and burgers. It's just disappointing. On the upside, my husband enjoyed a regular burger with his bun, and he said it was good.

Great experience! Just what I was looking for: a cocktail and a little meal on the side; The food was prepared very quickly and tasted super. Very beautiful server and an excellent cocktail. I'm back!

Good spot to enjoy the city view. Some of the best drinks in town. Every cocktail has a unique taste and I haven't had a drink I didn't love. Great place for group gatherings. Service is always great, always really nice.

Big bartenders and employees, but management is terrible. Did not have several articles on their menu and while my friend got a drink, I heard the manager badly talk about several people in the facility that was extremely respectful and annoying. We wanted to come back the next weekend, but after hearing this kind of language, we will not be here again.

It’s a great spot to spend time with friends. We enjoyed dinner by the copper spoon and wrapped up our drinks outside on the sidecar.
