We had our rehearsal dinner at Sidecar and it was perfect. Danielle helped us curate the perfect food, drink and oyster menu for our guests. All of the food was incredible, people are still talking about it. The space was beautiful and we loved having the option of indoor/outdoor. It’s tucked away so it felt intimate even though we were in the middle of New Orleans. I highly recommend for a party or group event!

We had our rehearsal dinner and welcome drinks at Sidecar Patio and Oyster bar- it was honestly perfection. From day one, working with Danielle was an absolute pleasure. She was informative, direct, and really answered any question we had throughout the process. Danielle was really calm and we felt like we could trust her with making sure our night went off without a hitch, and we are so glad we did. We also worked with Lindsay in choosing our oysters to serve at the welcome drinks - she was the most knowledgeable person we have ever met when it came to oysters. On the day of our event, it was raining (as is always a risk in NOLA) and they had tents out and did everything they could to cover up the space as much as possible. The weather ended up holding up, but I was so impressed with how they were able to help us pivot. The food at the rehearsal dinner- DELICIOUS. I would like to personally shout out the shrimp & grits as something people were raving about. Also, the manchego grilled cheese was divine. In particular though, the oysters were something special and unlike the oysters you would get anywhere throughout the city (people specifically said this). The welcome drinks- the drinks were flowing, the cocktails were well made, and there was not an unhappy face in our crowd of almost 150 people. It was also awesome to be able to show a slideshow of photos of us and our family/friends on the TV and curate our own playlist to play the entire night. If you are looking to throw any kind of event- Sidecar is the place to go. We cannot recommend working with them enough!!

We held our rehearsal dinner at Sidecar Patio & Oyster Bar in early December and everything was perfect! The food was incredible and they made signature cocktails for us that everyone loved. The staff was extremely accommodating and went above and beyond to ensure that no one waited for food or drinks that everyone gathered inside for speeches . The venue is gorgeous and looks down on the beautiful courtyard. All of our guests has a great time and I would highly recommend Sidecar for any event!
