The Sidecar at The Tap

Minneapolis, Minnesota

The Sidecar at The Tap is a craft cocktail lounge at 48th and Chicago in south Minneapolis, attached to the long running Town Hall Tap. The bar team builds original menus around quality spirits, and the room is put together deliberately, with candlelight, music and vintage leaning decor that the bar itself describes as an upscale speakeasy atmosphere. Food is served alongside the drinks, and last call comes thirty minutes before closing. Hours run Tuesday through Sunday from four in the afternoon, stretching to midnight Thursday through Saturday. It reads as a neighborhood room rather than a destination, which suits a corner that has been a local gathering point for years.
