Sebastian was the best! We had a cocktail that my friend didn’t fully love and he noticed without us saying anything. He hand crafted something new for her that was exactly what she wanted. Amazing service and atmosphere.

We had a fantastic time at The Sidecar. We enjoyed every drink, and the welcome glass was a lovely touch, much appreciated. Plus, having Sebastian prepare the martini with us and explain the whole process for achieving the flavors was brilliant. Everything was exceptional. Everyone we spoke to was very friendly, especially Imogen and Sebastian, Illary and Khali. Thank you guys!

We had a couple of drinks here last week before dinner. We were unsure of what to order and the Barman David was really helpful with helping us pick a cocktail that we would like. The quality of the cocktails was some of the best I’ve had in Dublin. Our server Lucy was also really attentive and friendly. Overall a really nice experience and atmosphere in the bar and will be back.

Imogen was absolutely amazing. She struck an excellent balance of being attentive without being overpowering. She gave excellent recommendations on drinks and was so down to earth and kind. Will definitely be back!

We had dinner booked in Wilde but had a pre dinner coctail in the sidecar and were served by the wonderful and friendly Imogen. She sent us a little complimentary taster coctail while we waited for our drinks which was just the nicest touch! A really extensive coctail and drinks menu… we had trouble choosing what we wanted! The staff and service from hosts such as Imogen are what make this place 5 star!
