It's no secret that we here at Meal Ticket are huge fans of The Sidecar at 22nd and Christian. Me especially — I live two blocks away from Adam and Jen Ritter's beer bar and have been a loyal boozer since it opened. That's why I'm excited to report that the team has plans to convert the two apartments on the second floor of the structure into an additional floor for the small, narrow drinkery, which by all accounts can get crazy crowded at night.
The project is "still in its infancy," says Ritter, but the idea is to add around 30 seats of dining space and move the teeny-tiny kitchen up a level so chef Amos Pedersen has more room to flex his culinary muscle. (No word yet on whether or not the second floor will feature an additional bar.) But they're not stopping there — Ritter also has tentative plans for jumping onto the third floor of the building to develop a venue for private catered events and intimate concerts. "I could have a bar mitzvah up there," says Ritter. L'chaim. These floors, plus the bar's outdoor tables, could bump the overall seating capacity past 100.
Architectural plans and zoning board stuff are still in the works. If everything goes smoothly, Ritter says, he hopes to start construction in May or June and have everything done by October or November.
Even though I don't live in G-Ho anymore, I find this news very exciting.
Who moves out of G-Ho, honestly?! Boo this man!
