50 Best Bars in Tucson

“Great food and creative drinks“

“Nice atmosphere, I was visiting from out of town, bartenders were very attentive and friendly“

“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“

“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.“

“Perfect place to spend some time“

“Amazing drinks! My new favorite place for tasty cocktails!!🍸“

“Great beer selection, great service and food trucks“

“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.“

“Legit evnviroment. Good beer. Great bartenderd“

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

“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!)“

“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.“

“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.“

“Amazing staff with the coldest beer in town.“

“Best pizza guys in Tucson!“

“This place was crazy busy, but somehow, the dude at the bar caught my respectful gesture, or desperate desire to get some to go brews and get out of dodge, and immediately drifted my way. He was courteous, incredibly helpful and got my order ready and packed and out the door in no time. I would definitely be back cause the vibe here is really chill when not on a mixer night. Even then, the crowded vibe was packed, but somehow still worked. People got in, got out, and got on their way. Efficiency at its finest and I attribute that to the staff. Great job guys! And the to go cocktails…A+!!“

“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!“

“Olivia & Rumplelscatskin... wide variety ...“

“Tucson Small Business. Support Local!“

“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.“

“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 💎 🤟“

“Muy rico los camarones deli deli“

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

“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!!“

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

“Food could use a more delicate touch, but otherwise a great bar. Staff are nice, a little slow, but I was there during a rush and I admit they handled it well!
Nachos could use more cheese.
All in all you got to visit it. It definitely an experience!“

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

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

“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!“

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

“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“

“Favorite place to hang out and have a few“

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

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

“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.“

“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!!“

“Not many video stores around these days, and certainly none that serve alcohol either! So many great beers on tap, the staff is always very friendly and super helpful. Great selections of movies to rent or buy. If you haven't been, i definitely recommend this to be on your bucket list, you will be back!“

“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“

“Stopped by the Tap Room at Hotel Congress and really enjoyed the vibe. The old-school bar has so much character — the kind of bar that somehow convinces you to stay for “just one more” drink.

I tried the Voodoo IPA and a Pueblo Vida, and both were excellent. Great choices if you’re into craft beer and IPAs. The atmosphere is lively but still comfortable, making it a great spot to hang out, enjoy a few beers, and take in a little bit of Tucson’s character.

Definitely a place I’d come back to. Good beer, historic atmosphere, and a bar that makes it very easy to lose track of time! 🍻“

“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!!“

“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!!“

“great place good music awsome bar tenders“

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

“Zachary is by far the best bartender I have experienced here. As an Executive Platinum traveler and a multiple-restaurant owner, service truly matters to me, and Zachary sets the standard. I’ve interacted with other bartenders, and none come close to his level of professionalism, attentiveness, and consistency. He is very personable, pays close attention to his guests, and delivers service with genuine care. Exceptional service like this does not go unnoticed, and Zachary is a true asset.“

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

“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!“

“My husband and I had our wedding reception at La Esquina and it was beyond perfect! Sarah helped us tremendously and ensured that we had a stress free evening. Her dedication to our event was incredible and we appreciate it so much. I would recommend La Esquina to anyone searching for a venue for a special event! I cannot express how thankful I am to the entire team for making our special event so spectacular.“

“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.”“

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

“Service and atmosphere were great! Came here for a birthday. We got a variety of plates to share. Cocktails were amazing. The crudo, steak, and agnolotti were outstanding. The fish croquette was just okay compared to the other dishes we had. They also have a fantastic downstairs bar with a different variety of drinks. Would absolutely come back!“
