Sidecar Restaurant Group, based in Birmingham, is announcing the upcoming opening of its restaurants in downtown Plymouth. Sidecar Slider Bar and Shift Kitchen & Cocktails will open this month at 340 N. Main Street, in the historic Markham Place building between the downtown and Old Village neighborhoods.
Sidecar Slider Bar features a family-friendly and sports-oriented atmosphere with more than a dozen sliders; shareables including coconut shrimp, smoked wings, and loaded tots; plus, a wide selection of salads and hot dogs. At the bar, guests can expect classic and specialty cocktails, an extensive selection of local and regional craft beers, and one of the largest collections of whiskeys and bourbons offered in metro Detroit.
Shift Kitchen & Cocktails is a restaurant and lounge catering to the 21-and-over crowd, featuring unique and approachable cocktails, along with a curated wine list and an expansive portfolio of top-shelf spirits. The menu at Shift offers guests upscale small plates and shareable dishes, from seared scallops and lamb lollipops to Ahi tuna tartar and lobster tacos. Shift is also known for hosting musicians most nights, bringing a live local entertainment option to the area.
“Our goal has always been to create a destination that offers a unique dining and drinking experience, and become known and loved for our vibrant atmosphere and fun approach to food and drinks,” said Steven Simon and Scot Pelc, partners at Sidecar Restaurant Group. “We are thrilled to be opening our newest location in this phenomenal location in the historic Markham Building and we look forward to becoming a part of the Plymouth community.”
The restaurants occupy separate but connected spaces, sharing an all-new kitchen. Other additions include a four-season room built onto the existing building, providing protected outdoor seating for around 40 guests. Serving up to 165 guests, the restaurants have hired around 40 experienced bar and restaurant staff.
Sidecar Slider Bar is open seven days a week, beginning at 11:00 a.m., serving lunch, happy hour, dinner, and late-night dining. Brunch service will be offered on the weekends. Shift Kitchen & Cocktails is open Tuesday through Sunday, beginning at 4:00 p.m. for happy hour, dinner, and late-night dining.
The Plymouth location will be the fifth Sidecar Slider Bar, with locations in Birmingham, Farmington, Lansing, and Brighton. This will make the second for Shift Kitchen and Cocktails, along with the location in Birmingham.
