“They have a great selection of movies for rent and for sale. They also have a great selection of beer on tap. Try the Crooked Tooth Brewery Paquito Saladito! It should be in every bar in Tucson, but until then, you can find it here and downtown at the Brewery itself.“

“Brody is honestly the chillest dude, everytime me and my boyfriend come here he always is super chill and honest. We come idleast once a month and everytime before we show up we always hope that Brody is gonna be bartending because it wouldn’t be the short rest tavern without him. Bro deserves a raise from the splendor duo 💎 🤟“

“Quirky place.has taps and bottles of liquor. Large display case with massive cold beer selection from the world. Hundred or more, excellent service, clean place, good parking, good crowd. Could go there as a single woman and not get creeps bugging you.“

“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.“

“Hop shop is such a cool little spot. Their brews are amazing. The back patio is pup friendly and bicycle friendly. The patio has good atmosphere, sometimes there is even local music jamming back there. This is a great pit stop if you are biking the loop, and need a little refreshment.
Great parking, clean restrooms and a little pizza spot across the way for your snacking convenience.“

“Favorite place to hang out and have a few“

“We came for the alcohol… 🍻 didn’t try any food, but the local crowd said the daily specials are great. Bartenders and the People of Players Pub are FIVE STARS. Shout out to the Veterans at the bar, CHEERS and THANK YOU for your service! 🇺🇸 #USA #vacation“

“Perfect place to spend some time“

“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!!“

“Loved my experience here! I’ve returned time and time again! The owner is so welcoming and has created such an inviting space! I am a darts player so the fact that there are dart boards and karaoke are two winners to me! All the bartenders are so helpful and all around the energy of the bar is immaculate!!“

“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!!“

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

“Best pizza guys in Tucson!“

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

“Attended a pool tournament at the Nugget the bar and the establishment was excellent. The service was excellent. Bathrooms were absolutely immaculate and great ambiance definitely 5 star review“

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

“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!!“

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

“Atmosphere is eclectic, mixed drink selection is really wonderful. Like no other cocktail bar in town. Fun place to take visitors!“

“We got there just after a huge rush on a Sunday. It was our first time there. They were slammed judging by the number of people leaving and tables full of plates/bottles. Misty came running over as soon as she could. Apologized several times for the wait. We were ready to order when she arrived. Luckily there was a menu left from the earlier people. It is self seating. Good selection of food and drinks. Service was excellent. Plenty of refills for our water. Food delivery was good and perfect timing. Good logistics. Food was great! We will be back.“

“I’d give The Owls Club 10 stars if I could.

This is a true gem in Tucson. Historic, moody, sophisticated vibes with live music and a setting that feels like you stepped into another era. Fun fact, it used to be a mortuary which honestly adds to the whole slightly eerie, beautifully atmospheric charm in the best way.

Why did it take me so long to get here?!

Drinks aren’t cheap but they are absolutely worth it. I had a non alcoholic drink that was divine and honestly didn’t feel like an afterthought at all.

So many little nooks to explore, but the courtyard under the palm trees was my favorite. On this visit, with moonlight, vintage architecture, and soft ambient lighting, it just felt unreal. All I could think was this is the perfect place for events, gatherings, or just lingering a little too long because you don’t want the night to end.“

“This is the place for entertainment on fourth avenue. Burlesque, Disco, live music, and themed nights. I love they have a late night kitchen for me, too. Every bartender is attentive, knowledgeable and easy to talk to. Plus, their supportive staff is always cordial. Nothing worse than getting a grumpy experience in the first ten seconds of walking in to a place... not these guys. I'm here once, sometimes twice a week... for 20 years now. Thanks Surly for being my go to spot.“

“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.”“

“Love this place! Divinely lit at night.Tasty thirst-quenching craft beer, and unique refreshing nonalcoholic options too. Can’t wait to get back there and try the new offerings!“

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

“We love this bar. They have an excellent selection of draft beers and a decent-sized fridge selection, too. They don't have their own food, but the sandwich place Quisty's next door is great. They have done a great job of creating a sound barrier for Broadway traffic noise, too.“

“Tucson Small Business. Support Local!“

“I love Westbound, it is my favorite hangout in Tucson, with a great beer selection and fantastic draft cocktails. The great news is that they are open for to go/pick up during social distancing! Their amazing staff are serving up tasty cocktails to go plus all of your beer, wine, and spirit needs. Especially now, it was great to see friendly faces keeping everyone's safety in mind while providing an invaluable public service. They will get us through!! Let's make a virtual toast to Westbound - with a to go cocktail! ☺🍻🍹“

“Muy rico los camarones deli deli“

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

“I love this bar! All the employees are super nice and the patrons are too. You’ll have no problem conversing with anyone! Best place to watch a movie , eat delicious popcorn and drink a craft beer. You can also play board games or browse for rental dvd movies. Brings you back to the good ol times when you went to a Blockbuster or Hollywood video with the family and picked out a couple movies to watch together. I miss those times!“

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

“Food was outstanding. Family-like environment and service was great. 5 stars for sure.“

“First time experiencing the Brandylion, and it was that. An experience. The bartender Skyler was amazing and hustled her behind of during some rush. However, there was a gentleman behind the bar. That said nothing to us, as the bartender was running at least 8-10 drink one at a time. We asked if the bar was open and instead of a greeting we received 'of course it's open, you wouldn't be able to come in if it wasn't'. To then state they were open since 9a for Tea of the world. We wouldn't have known that. I feel he could have explained that he was not able to serve drinks at that time and they just ended an event or something to that effect, perhaps offer a glass of water while we wait for Skyler to run drinks with no help from him. This initial interaction left somewhat of a bad taste. Again, Skyler was amazing and SHE KILLED IT. She handled the rush with grace and poise, and after service she engaged with us. Do what you want with that. All in all SKYLER saved the majority of the experience.“

“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!)“

“Today I walked into the cafe for the first time, Ive never heard of it and a friend recommended it to me and the service was amazing I thought Serra was the General Manager, great atmosphere and amazing food and drinks ! Thank you Serra For such a lovely first time ! Cant wait to come back again !!“

“Great place to play Bingo, friendly atmosphere, good drinks, and the service is top notch“

“Very chill place and great music!!“

“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!“

“Drinks were delicious. We visited when it was 105 degrees out and it was surprisingly comfortable inside/outside in the patio area. Patty was a great bartender. She was very efficient and friendly. Prices were reasonable compared to downtown Tucson.“

“We were there last night for a somewhat rare evening of music. I'd have to say it was easily one of the best experiences I've recently had at a local restaurant. The chef salad was superb, absolutely distinctive greens and relatively healthy. The fries and cake that I sampled from others were also top notch. The waitstaff was hugely pleasant, competent and attentive. Great work all around!“

“Amazing staff with the coldest beer in town.“
