Tucked into the basement of Mati on Preston Street in Ottawa, Sidecar is a classic cocktail bar dedicated to doing all the little things perfectly — from the glassware and ice to the fresh ingredients and expert bar team. The concept earned Sidecar recognition as the 32nd best bar in Canada, and on Friday and Saturday evenings the space also comes alive with a full dinner menu crafted by Mati. Whether you're stopping in for drinks or settling in for dinner, Sidecar has a table waiting for you.
