“Such a beautiful space to listen and enjoy fine music. Amy subtitles Exo Bar, aka El Crisol, 'the listening room' and, indeed, it's the music that speaks and it speaks volumes. I'm thankful that some of my most memorable nights in Tucson have been spent there.“

“Phenomenal cozy third space!! You can come and watch a movie and just hang out here. The popcorn is only 2$ and as a absolute theater popcorn connoisseur they have the best theater popcorn in town. I love renting movies here it's such a fun thing to do with friends and it's a great date night activity. They sell really fun drinks both alcoholic and non alcoholic! They have fancy sodas and iced teas and also a really fun selection of beers and meads etc. They have an events calendar on their site that lists what movies play at night and what food truck they have. They do late night movies and play movies all day. Open late!! Truly one of my favorite places to spend time“

“Great beer selection, great service and food trucks“

“This was my first time going to the Tucson Hop Shop. I departed wondering why I hadn't been there before. This is a nice casual environment with great staff and service. The local pizza was outstanding. Their is a good selection of crafted beers.“

“if you go for the prime rib dinner make sure you get there early. they don't start serving till 5:00 but there was a lot of people there and they ran out“

“Legit evnviroment. Good beer. Great bartenderd“

“Perfect place to spend some time“

“Great tap room woth great staff. Place draws a nice crowd too. I'm always excited to see what they have either on tap or in the cooler. Great selection typically in both and the bottle shop. Nice place for a casual date, a drink with the boys, or for a solo adventure. Alan is particularly great if you catch him. Very knowledgeable on all the goods in the bottle shop and a beer enthusiast himself, so always ready with a good recommendation if your stuck on which of their taps to get. Welcoming to outside food but also some nice salty snacks available.“

“We tried Bashful Bandit for the first time today, it was delicious. I also really appreciated the customer service, the employees were very patient with our kids and helped them pick out a meat they would like (they both thought it was tasty and are picky eaters!)“

“The atmosphere and decor of the place is my kind of bar. I love the service and the food. I love this place and will go as long as they are there.“

“Perfect way to view Tucson from the 16th Floor!! Great outdoor seating with gas fire pits overlooking UofA campus, mountains all around! Drinks are fantastic!“

“Our 10/10 experience was thanks to Brody. Even though it was a super busy night, he managed to hold down the fort and create an experience like no other. Truly grateful to have him guide us (a group newbies) on all the offerings available at the Short Rest Tavern. Thank you Brody!“

“Tucson Small Business. Support Local!“

“Best pizza guys in Tucson!“

“Biggest wings you’ve ever had come to wing Wednesday because Pedro said so“

“my dad's old stomping grounds and we knew "pup",very well“

“Favorite place to hang out and have a few“

“Best dive bar in Tucson and the beers are always cold“

“This bar is killer and Tuesday night karaoke with Jarrell is my whole religion right now. I keep telling the bar staff, so I’m telling the public - LOUIE’S KARAOKE IS THE BEST KARAOKE IN THE WORLD, and I was a host for 10 years. If you come because of my review, say hi! I’ll be there every Tuesday until machines take over the world, and then some. Thank you!!“

“Muy rico los camarones deli deli“

“Amazing staff with the coldest beer in town.“

“Came across this dive bar. Of course, they’re belching out karaoke. But, the singers aren’t too bad here. And, heck. Can’t beat $2 Ultras!!“

“Ty and the gang are always providing the best products and service“

“Great people! Was there for a crawfish boil once it was a blast!“

“We love our neighbors! Great beer & wine selection, friendly staff & good vibes!“

“I almost gave Casa 4 stars as it is so much smaller than it used to be and I loved it when I was younger. Then I remembered there are no other video rental places that I am aware of that exist in Arizona. The video rental business as we know is no longer hopping but they still stay open and stay true to providing the old school video store experience. There are movies playing while you walk through which I love. We were able to find some more obscure titles here to rent and you can also buy cheap movies. Movies that are not new releases are only $4.50 for 14 days, that is generally less than it is to rent it via steaming and better quality. They also have a bar and have food trucks certain days. Highly recommend.“

“went here on a random Friday night. A neighborhood bar in a residential neighborhood, the lazy v is pretty basic: bottled beer, mixed drinks pool tables and a jukebox playing a pretty wide variety. mostly locals form the clientele, and they are ranging from construction workers and truckers to whoever happens to stumble in like myself
the bartender, Monte, was super cool and even bummed me a cigarette because I had forgot mine.
if you're looking for a chill place to have a beer, I would recommend it. can't speak to any food options because I didn't see any, the beer selection was pretty basic: not much foreign or craft.

Parking: gigantic dirt lot outside. no issues finding parking on a Friday night“

“This is THE BEST bar!!! Drinks are well priced, the bartenders are the best in Tucson, there is karaoke Fri & Sat & Sun, the patrons are amazing AND there is free pool and darts all day everyday!! I love it! Best Bar Ever IMO!!“

“Very chill place and great music!!“

“❤️ Love this spot! Great people! Great whisky!“

“Loved it here! The atmosphere was so fun. We stopped by for some celebratory drinks and Jesus was the best! He was very knowledgeable about liquors and asked different questions regarding what we like, didn't like, etc. and ended up making us some amazing drinks! Definitely recommend a visit and if Jesus is behind the bar you'll have the best time (and drinks)!“

“Great service, friendly bartenders, and a leisurely crowd.“

“I’m never disappointed with the experience and delicious food, drinks and the staff of Surly. You must go and chill, it’s well worth it. The chicken sandwich is to die for with the jalapeño mayo and the family recipe burger is fabulous. See you there!“

“I had never visited John Henry’s, and I found it quite charming. They have an excellent choice of drinks, and the bartender was very friendly & knowledgeable. I’ll be back, John Henry’s! Also, you need an eye-catching sign that says “John Henry’s” instead of one that simply states “bar.”“

“My fiance & I decided to stop here for dinner while visiting tucson as we are originally from Phoenix. We came across this place on google & looked at the reviews & i knew this place was the one we had to try! Their chips bean dip/salsa was the best I've had at a Mexican restaurant & the food was delicious too! Highly recommend this place! They have awesome service too!!“

“great place good music awsome bar tenders“

“The Tap Room at the historic Congress Hotel is a true Tucson treasure! Tucked inside a building full of character and history, this cozy bar hits all the right notes—from atmosphere to drinks to music.

John, the bartender, is absolutely top-notch. His Old Fashioned is one of the best I’ve had—expertly crafted, smooth, and perfectly balanced. You can tell he knows his way around a bar and genuinely cares about creating a great experience for every guest. Friendly, professional, and a true craftsman behind the bar.

The music selection was fantastic—cool, laid-back, and perfectly matched to the classic feel of the space. It’s the kind of spot where you can unwind, have a great conversation, and enjoy a drink made with real skill.

Whether you’re visiting Tucson or a local looking for a great bar with charm and quality, don’t miss the Tap Room. Ask for John and treat yourself to a real Old Fashioned—you’ll be glad you did!“

“My bartender was Rikki. Y’all…everything was outstanding. Mezcal cocktail? 10/10. Vibe? 10/10. Will be back soon.“

“Small bar but chill at winning pool“

“Fantastic neighborhood dive bar morning, noon and night.“

“Went for Valentine's Day for both my date and I's first time at Bata. Super friendly service from the start and my server (Chloe I believe) was extremely knowledgeable about the menu. The lemon tartlets were our favorite! Great experience in a cool and refreshing environment that isn't offered much in Tucson. Great job - would recommend 10/10.“

“Enjoyed my coffee and company. Will definitely be back to enjoy a meal.“

“Alley vibe with an artistic feel… intimate upstairs lounge with romantic dim red lighting🔥🥰 no wait drink service🤘“
