The Story of Sidecar
Housed in the basement of the historic Prince Solms Inn in downtown New Braunfels, Sidecar is a speakeasy-style bar that first opened its doors in 2018. Tucked beneath century-old walls, this vintage cocktail bar continues a long legacy of spirited gatherings, celebrations, and unforgettable nights in a truly storied space.
From the beginning, Sidecar quickly became a beloved New Braunfels bar—known for its moody ambiance, intimate setting, and award-worthy craft cocktails like the Old Fashioned, Sazerac, and Espresso Martini. Our passionate team of bartenders, servers, and creatives bring the bar to life each evening, creating a place where every guest feels welcome.
Over time, we’ve expanded beyond the underground speakeasy to include The Parlour Bar upstairs at Prince Solms Inn—a casual, walk-up concept featuring wine, beer, and classic cocktails in a historic hotel setting. Together, these spaces offer something for everyone: from date nights and late-night jazz music to birthday parties, engagement celebrations, corporate events, and wedding receptions.
Whether you’re here for a quiet drink, a lively night of live music in New Braunfels, or a private event with friends, Sidecar and Prince Solms Inn remain committed to quality, craft, and genuine hospitality. Our goal has always been simple: to create timeless spaces that feel like a second home while serving the best cocktails.
