50 Best Cocktail Bars in Tucson

“Perfect spot for Sunday lunch with a good friend. We highly recommend the refreshing watermelon 🍉 margaritas and mango ceviche, followed by the chicken tinga bowl and dulce de leche chocolate cake. Great ambiance and amazing service. We will definitely be back again soon!“

“I attended Late Night with Morani Sanders Quartet at the Century Room. It was outstanding. Great venue, great service, and the music was top notch. :-)“

“If you work in the service industry or want to rub shoulders with those that do, Danny's is the place for you. The staff is funny, witty, snarky, sassy, kind, and honest. Just remember rule number one, don't be an impatient jerk and TIP YOUR BARTENDERS! It's one of the best dives in town for good reason. Cheap drinks, fun times, sarcasm, great jukebox, and a place where everyone knows your name makes Danny's the best neighborhood dive you've been looking for. With a back patio, pool tables, airhockey, darts, shuffle board, food trucks, and multiple TV's with classic movies and sports makes this dimly lit dive a perfect place to unwind after a long day or get a night of bar hopping rolling.

PS
Just be an adult and be nice, it's easy.“

“Went with my brother while visiting in Tucson. Tried the Sonoran hot dog. Delicious! Service was great and friendly!!!!“

“What a great place with such a cool vibe. Great place to grab a drink and chill.“

“Had the Wild West burger substituted ground beef for chicken. I was very impressed with chicken burger , Great flavor and bbq was delicious . The , fries season perfectly and even snuck in a few of the wings shared . Almost went back the next day for wings with sauce on the side !“

“This is a diamond in the rough in that the unpretentious facade on a main road hides this small windowless space that serves up some delicious food and great cocktails. The hanger streak was behind amazing. The fish and chips was very good but I do agree with other reviews that the green goddess cold slaw is “unique”, and they would be better off with a traditional version. Our bartender was great and made a mean Manhattan and our server, Erin, was great. The menu had some great stuff but it seemed lame to be on simple paper vs a nicer version. The food is so great, it’s hard to believe they have 3 TVs in such a small space that it’s almost sports bar on one side and nice restaurant on the other side. I did love the 80’s music that permeated the air.
So, it’s a bit odd on some ways, but I loved it. And, it’s locally owned!

“Chill atmosphere and nice drink specials“

“a good shelter! and bla bla bla 🤘😇🪄🔮“

“Innovative cocktails, great whiskey list. Cool vibe, great service, upscale.“

“Zulay was our waitress, and a wonderful advocate for the restaurant. It's a small venue, and worth every bit of the wait. We watched as tables were bussed and floors swept, then tables set with exacting placement of the table service. The pace was relaxed, we never felt rushed. Permission to remove plates from the table was asked every time to confirm that the patron was through with it. I had the Kalo enchiladas, one of the best presentations and very tasty. One of the best dining experiences in my life. Thank you

Wheelchair accessibility: Ramp to the entry door.“

“Thank you Mojo staff for accommodating my moms bday dinner party of 12 last night, instantly as we walked in, after plans fell through when we arrived at the first restauraunt to find it closed. We were happy with your excellent service and food, and kids enjoyed it, my vegan brother was also happy. We are grateful for the hospitality and will be back for More.“

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

“Good food great service, love the ambience!“

“Very chill place and great music!!“

“I love this place!! A fun hole in the wall restaurant with delicious food. I always get the chicken flautas with beans and rice, it is soooo tasty. The prices are a little high but you get a lot of food for it so it’s no problem at all. I went for my birthday earlier this year and they provided free dessert that was delicious! Yesterday we ordered for pick-up and while waiting, they provided chips and salsa and water when it wasn’t ready, and it also meant our food was fresh and hot even when we got home. Super helpful and kind on the phone as well. Highly recommend!!“

“Tap is a favorite hang out spot for me and all the friends. We LOVE the staff, and they have a decent selection of NA drinks -including the bottles of root beer you can order from the counter: cold and deliciously vanilla flavored. Trivia nights on Thursdays are the most packed and loud it gets, but the vibes are always great. If you're looking for somewhere to just hang and catch up over good drinks with friends, this is perfect for OV/NW Side locals. AND you can bring in your own food? Amazing. Let's keep tap a staple on this side of town.“

“This place is great. They always bring in great comedians, the staff is friendly, and highly recommend if you're looking for a good night out to laugh. 5/5 for sure.“

“They have amazing food and drinks“

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

“Great garlic knots and cocktails!“

“First time eating there and it was a good time. The steak was big but just the right size that you don't really need much more than the salad and bread they bring. The "I'm Your Huckleberry" drink was just the right amount of sweet with their in house made syrups. Will definitely be back.“

“We loved the service we received from Deckland. He was very kind and super helpful. The atmosphere and food were perfect. Our entire party had a wonderful time. The location is ideal for a crowd.“

“Great food - personable and professional staff - all around wonderful dining experience - thank you!“

“I try to get in every Tuesday after my morning appointments. I go in and have them order for me. for the last few months I have been surprised with each meal and everything has been wonderful. Great food, great atmosphere, great staff.“

“Hi fans of great traditional Mexican food. I stopped by and had a very flavorful and perfectly prepared Hamburguesa de Queso y Tocino, fries and iced tea. Perla, one of the wonderful waitresses at Taco Giro, is always personable, friendly, and knowledgeable of the menu. So come on by for some great authentic Mexican food.“

“Expensive; b prepared for small servings, but a truly wonderful experience. Outstanding, unique food. Unique, very nice setting. Asked for a “quiet” table; we were seated in a corner booth by the window & we were actually able to converse in normal voices, a rare occurrence in restaurants these days. Perfect place to dine if you're attending something at 191 Toole! It's a 3 minute walk! Thank you, Bata. We'll b back!“

“Food Server, REDANA, was Excellent. Delicious Calamari. Excellent Veal Parmigiana with homemade Pasta. Sauce was great. And Cannoli was fresh and tasty. We are from NYC. We have eaten in Little Italy. Your food is worthy of being served on Mulberry Street. Five Stars... PS After we finished my Birthday dinner, I played Billy Joel's song "Scene from an Italian Restaurant" while awaiting the Check. And the red and white checkered table cloths are a Great touch. They remind me of Louie's Restaurant in the Godfather movie.“

“Outrageous! Last night we were enjoying ourselves at Brodies with our friend from England. We were called drunks by bartender Jeff. We couldn't believe his disrespect toward us, especially because none of us were drunk. We come at least twice a week, and Brody's is our favorite bar. We hope this will not happen again. Thank you.“

“The staff made our experience truly enjoyable. They went above and beyond to make my daughter's birthday special, which meant so much to us. The steak was melt-in-your-mouth tender, and every detail was wonderful. I would definitely recommend this place!“

“Great place, great music, nice crowd, bartenders are super friendly. It's overall an excellent place to be at!“

“Very good meal and very good service. We each order the #60. I personally was a little disappointed with the quality of the shrimp. But aside from that, the meal was delicious and very filling. 😀“

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

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

“Great place to grab a drink, lots of variety hot and cold drinks. They also have a neat bar in the back lounge area. Hookah is best in town in my opinion. Vibe is chill, always a good time.“

“Jackie took such sweet care of us, great hospitality and awesome fun attitude. Nico was so patient and with us and Jesse sets a great vibe in the afternoons. Thank you All! Go here, have drinks, eat the food, laugh, have fun…its the right spot ???“

“You have to try their tequila old fashion! Food was great too 🥳“

“They have amazing food and drinks“

“Excellent food, brilliant breakfast and very friendly service 😃👏“

“Speaking of El Charro Cafe, let me just say that the dining experience there was a gastronomic rollercoaster of delight. WOW! The food was insanely good, the kind that makes your taste buds do a little happy dance. The portion sizes? Let's just say you won't leave hungry, and the plate presentation is worthy of an art exhibit. The service and ambience didn't disappoint either; it was the cherry on top of our savory outing.“

“A very chill place to hang with friends, great live music and large craft beer selection.“

“Ceviche y camarones al mojo de ajo“

“I've been to Tacos del Rancho 6 or 7 times with my teenage children, it is our favorite Mexican food in the Tucson area. Our food has been great every time, and I highly recommend the quesabirria, the shrimp tacos, and the side of refried beans.“
