Sidecar's second floor opens tonight
The new-look Sidecar (2201 Christian St.), the end result of an expansion project we first noted nearly two years back, is ready to go — owner Adam Ritter is letting drinkers up into his second level, accessible via staircase from the beer bar's ground floor, as soon as the Sidey opens today at 3 p.m. Tricked out with tall windows, banquette seating and lots of custom wood work, this part of the Sidecar will cater more to eaters — the kitchen's now up here, and Ritter plans on using the space for beer dinners — but there's also the pretty walnut bar, which features the same dozen drafts as downstairs (just no hand pump). Adam Willner, who came over from Matyson to back up exec chef Brian Lofink (who oversees food at both Sidecar and Kraftwork), has helped expanded the bar's nightly specials considerably, and the offerings are only going to get more ambitious with the new elbow room. In a few weeks, Ritter adds, the newly multi-floored Sidecar will tweak its hours — they'll start serving at 10:30 a.m. every day, offering an abbreviated brunch-style menu before shifting over to dinner service.
