A bar and restaurant is now open in the new Hotel Rambler in Montgomery.
The Hotel Rambler, part of Hilton’s Tapestry Collection, opened in Montgomery Quarter earlier in October. Its on-site bar and restaurant, Sidecar Bar + Kitchen, offers nostalgic American diner fare with modern and mid-century twists.
“Our goal with The Sidecar Bar + Kitchen was to create a space that feels familiar yet fresh,” Kelly Scavo, general manager of The Hotel Rambler, said in a press release. “It’s a place where locals and travelers alike can enjoy a great meal, sip a creative cocktail and feel connected to the neighborhood energy of Montgomery Quarter.”
The menu features shareable bites, elevated comfort food and handcrafted cocktails. Dishes are a mix of modern classics, like the Spicy Fried Chicken Flatbreads and Sriracha Teriyaki Steak, and regionally inspired eats, like the Grippo’s Fried Chicken with jalapeño corn waffles and Cincy Smash Patty. There are also lighter options like fresh salads and pastas.
To drink, the bar offers craft cocktails with inventive flavor pairings. Beverages include the Sidecar Old Fashioned (Old McBrayer whiskey, Benchmark bourbon and Bittercube cherry bark vanilla bitters), Amber & Ashes (Astral Reposado tequila, smoked chili honey and Grand Marnier) and Honey I’m Home (Tanqueray No. TEN gin, Giffard vanilla, honey, lemon and black walnut bitters). There is also a rotating selection of local draft beers, wines and seasonal mocktails.
Sidecar’s dining room pays homage to mid-century Americana, designed with soft lighting, sleek lines and warm textures, much like the hotel’s aesthetic. Outside, there is a spacious, all-season bar and patio offering firepits, outdoor games and several TVs, perfect for happy hours, game days and casual nights out.
The Hotel Rambler and Sidcar Bar + Kitchen are located at 7711 Roosa St. in Montgomery. Find more info and make reservations at thehotelrambler.com.
