Sidecar NOLA Patio & Oyster Bar won’t serve oysters until sometime in September, but the bar and kitchen opened Aug. 12 at 1102 Constance St. in the Warehouse District.
Sidecar shares a large patio and owners with the adjacent Rusty Nail bar. The Sidecar space also has a deck and two indoor dining spaces, which currently are closed due to concerns about the pandemic.
The menu includes several burgers and sandwiches, loaded french fries and appetizers such as Gulf fish ceviche, tuna tartare, chicken and andouille gumbo and roasted beet lettuce wraps. When it opens, the oyster bar will offer a selection of oysters from Louisiana waters and elsewhere. The drinks menu has a mai tai and a tropical cocktail theme.
Rusty Nail is owned by David Brown and Ivan Burgess and other partners. Together with Rusty Nail bartenders Jeff O’Brien and Lee Gold and others, they bought Cooter Brown’s Tavern in 2015. Brown, Burgess and others are partners in Sidecar.
Sidecar is open from 5 p.m. to 11 p.m. Wednesday to Saturday.
