We were in Tucson for the 4th Avenue Street Fair and just happened to find Batch…and oh my goodness…I’m so happy we did!!! We were in Tucson for 3 nights and we finished all 3 evenings with a night cap at Batch ?. We were also super lucky…on Fridays and Saturdays they have small batch doughnuts ?….yum ? The blackberry w/Crown Royal icing was so good…we ordered a second one ?. The whiskey selection is amazing…the prices are great…the bartenders are very knowledgeable…and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Morgan, the head bartender, was even honored with his name on an Elijah Craig bottle!!!! We asked him to choose our next drink…several times…and they were all amazing. They make cocktails for the guests that don’t enjoy whiskey…but this is definitely a place to go if you want to try new whiskeys served neat ?. If you’re in Tucson…and enjoy whiskey…this is a must!!! We’re planning our next trip back, just so I can go here again ???

Any type of whiskey you can imagine is here. They have special batch drinks all of the time and they rotate drinks so frequently you cannot try them all. The patio is clutch for cigars and pipe smoking, it's a cool chill vibe.

Love this place off Congress Street in downtown Tucson. It has a beautiful atmosphere and offers regular andboozy donuts every Friday and Saturday until sold out. The Biscoff boozy donut and churro donut were both delicious.

This little spot is a gem in downtown! Met a few friends here for a drink, even though I'm not a big whiskey guy, and was pleasantly surprised. Vinnie was great in guiding us through the wall of selection that they have, so thanks for that! Great atmosphere, even outdoor seating, and just about any whiskey you could want. Stop in when you can. It's worth the trip.

Batch is a candy store for whiskey, scotch, bourbon, and spirit lovers alike. Not only do they have their walls filled from sternum to ceiling with over 1100 bottles of various spirits, but their staff (as their owners) are beyond knowledgeable and have heard about whatever bottle or limited release you could think of. The bar is only as good as the staff though, regardless of the swill or luxury spirits they serve. That is perhaps one of the brightest spots of Batch, despite the beyond impressive selection of spirits. The staff is happy to chat with you about their favorite spirits, places and/or sights in town, or discuss whatever is on your mind in a way that makes them feel like an old friend. Ryan has been one of the best barkeeps I've been around in my 20+ years of drinking spirits and visiting bars. The decor is that of old bars and speakeasies, which is both comforting and a bit... minimalist if that makes sense. The bar features dark wood features, empty barrels of specially made spirits made specifically for Batch, or the owner's favorite distilleries. Lighting is low, but the chandelliers feature empty bottles and more than enough light to see everyone and everything you look at in the place. It toes the line between romantic, modern, and even... curious, as if there is something to hide in the low lighting. I loved the overall concept of the decor, as it reminds me of any high-end, luxury bar but isn't frivolous with the decor as to take away from the real stars of the place: the rare and expansive selection of spirits. The selection of spirits will put almost any collector's or bar's cellar to shame. There is going to be something for everyone, whether it be the most abrasive and high-proof spirit or a perfectly balanced cocktail... there is something for everyone and anyone here. Are you new to the scene? There is an endless and vast wealth of knowledge and experience to educate you. Don't know what you really like? Describe your ideal spirit and let the experts choose your next adventure. Seasoned veteran and self-proclaimed expert? Intellectually spar with your guide to see who has the best takes and taste between the lot of you. Batch is the place for the true purist. Not only are the staff and spirits offered among the best this life has to offer, but you won't pay overly gouged prices of second-hand markets or self-proclaimed entrepreneuers that are looking to make a quick buck off limited release or rare spirits or releases. I found it hard to believe that this place could be found in downtown Tucson when I have struggled to find a place like it anywhere else. However, this desert gem is nestled perfectly in an unassuming place where it can stay on the down-low, only visible to the locals and those lucky enough to stumble onto it on a per-chance visit to the southwestern desert.
Came here on Dec 27 while on vacation from Toronto and it was such a great place to try out a few whiskeys. I don’t know the bartenders name but he was great and after I had a couple whiskeys, he recommended one that smelled like Cinnamon Toast Crunch and it was so good. Being a Canadian, some whiskeys are hard to find so it was cool to see such an extensive menu. If I’m ever back in Tucson, I’d come back here!!

Trendy cocktail bar that boasts the largest whisky selection in town! What I loved: The atmosphere! They really maximized the narrow floor space, providing as much seating as possible, but it still doesn't feel cramped. The dimly lit decor is modern, maybe even romantic when you're on a date. Service is top-notch, too--I've never had to wait long to get another round. What I liked: They have food here sometimes (I've been told tacos on Friday), and have doughnuts for sale if you need something to soak up all that liquor. I hope they're still doing the creme brulee doughnut--it was neat watching them blowtorch the sugar right in front of me. What needs work: The house cocktails don't really excite me. I think the bourbon choice for the house old fashioned is too sweet, and I think their prickly pear drinks are relatively bland. They do try their hand at some original concoctions but they're simple and not too adventurous, even if I did think the Purple Drink was tasty. So while it might not be the most innovative mixology, Batch is definitely worth checking out for the vibes. They have a good happy hour and it just feels like a fun place to be as any to start off your evening!

With so many whiskey, bourbon options to wet your palette, why miss out. Their selections are always top knotch. Even if you don't like the above liquors, the ambiance alone is something to gaze at. The staff is excellent, knowledgeable, a little sarcastic, and perfect for any mood. Plus the donuts. Just go.

Batch is great, and we now also love the new basement “speak easy” : SNAKE & BARREL ! Cool, albeit dimly lit” cocktail bar, with some beer/wine options. Friendly mixologists in an urban chic setting. Try it, you will enjoy it!

Perfection! Great atmosphere! Our bartender was passionate about his love for whiskeys and the history behind some of the distilleries. My classic old fashioned was excellent. The largest selection of whiskey in the state of Arizona. I'm so glad we stopped by!
