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. :-)“

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

“Absolutely loved our experience here! The Nom Nom Balls, Crispy Brussels, and Crispy Calamari were all top tier — flavorful, fresh, and beautifully plated. The Classic Mojito and Martini Espresso were spot on. Great food, amazing service, and a cozy, stylish atmosphere. Highly recommend supporting this bomb local spot!“

“Been traveling all week so I was looking for something fresh and this place did not disappoint! The server was super sweet, my cocktail (gulf water) was on point, and the food was superb. I had the chicken club salad with ranch - I'm a Midwestern girl and this ranch is legit - followed by a layered banana pudding that sent me straight to heaven. The Executive Chef, Gabriel, brought each dish out personally so we got to have some good conversation. His passion for creating each dish was so clear, I really had no choice but to enjoy every single bite. 12/10. Would recommend.“

“Chill atmosphere and nice drink specials“

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

“One of the best dives in town, come on in the waters fine! 🍻 great food trucks always outside. Gets busy on weekend with college kids, during the week alot of the service industry scoots on over for their own relief. Lots of friendly faces and a good pour if you're kind to the tender. They have pool, games and a reading nook. I may be biased tho its one of my favorites by far! Hope to see you there!!“

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

“My husband and I had breakfast for the 1st time here. It was amazing. They pay close attention to every detail. From the fresh flower with my food, to the side car of popcorn with my drink, made with a syrup they make in house. My husband's bloody mary was perfect too. Even the heart on the toothpick. Too cute. Service was exceptional. Caro took great care of us. Even recommended a drink, and it was delicious. We will definitely be back soon!“

“Best little dive bar. It's very much a shot and a beer place but the bartenders do their best to accommodate orders.“

“Dear Tito and Pep, Please refresh the menu. you are so talented ,passionate ,and creative with your food. Please share with us ( your Tucson)what other excellent culinary creations are in your heart, mind and soul. We love your foods and the story. So ,what is the next page in this beautiful Sonoran gastronomic adventure ? Go for it Chef!“

“Tacos El Giro in Tucson, AZ Valencia - outstanding dining experience that captures the essence of authentic Mexican cuisine. Service by Liz was outstanding as was the authentic taste of Mexican dlite.“

“Finally tried Mojo, and it did not disappoint! Food, drink, and service were wonderful. I grew up on the east coast and have missed Cuban food; so happy to have a spot here in Tucson! I love that there were several sampler options so I could try a variety of dishes on my first visit: rum flight (silver), Plato Mixto, and Taste of Havana were all delicious. Will definitely be returning to try the rest of the menu. Shout out to our server who was welcoming and attentive!“

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

“This breakfast spot is a treasure. The food and service were outstanding. It is a must do for downtown Tucson breakfast“

“Tap & Bottle is such a fun, lively spot! Some of the bartenders are our absolute favorites — they’re always so friendly and helpful. The beer and tequila selections are amazing with great rotations, and the patio is one of the nicest in Oro Valley.“

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

“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.“

“Perfect place to spend some time“

“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.“

“Excellent service Jorge always very friendly to care of me“

“Good food great service, love the ambience!“

“Really like the new renovations! However was disappointed in the service. Usually El Sur has quick responsive service but this time not so. Ordered side of sour cream which was never received. Had to ask for more chips and salsa. Never even offered the peppers/onions like they used to. Felt like food has changed and lost some of its authentic flavors. Rice was more bland and Whole beans usually good but this time very bland and not cooked as much. We don’t eat lard or pork so whole beans are only option so it was disappointing that they weren’t as good as they used to be.“

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

“The food is not great.“

“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.“

“Very chill place and great music!!“

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

“They have amazing food and drinks“

“Great garlic knots and cocktails!“

“Service is always on point here. Amazing staff. We do lunch often and we did iur aniversary brunch and also have gone to late night. All shifts were the same grade A service! Side note, be careful when you order tequila, at lunch ordered margs,
like she should our waitress offered tequilla options other than house... we were in the vibe of the atmosphere and chose one of the nes she gave, and our four margaritas came out to $80. Not her fault, she was doing her job, and wont lie, the margaritas were so good. But even after getting that bill we were smiling and satisfied with yet another great time at Tabu.

Food is good. Spicy zmargarita the best and its just an atmosphere that isnt anywhere else in Tucson.“

“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.“

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

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

“great place good music awsome bar tenders“

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

“Restaurant was large, so altho there was a line all the way outside, it moved very quickly. We were not impressed with the food and felt it was very overpriced. It's in the middle of an Old West theme park, so had alot of kid friendly things to do.“

“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.“

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

“The service was quick and excellent, with thorough explanations of dishes and attentiveness to needs. A free dessert was provided for the birthday celebrant. All but one of our courses was excellent, particularly the porchetta; the mushroom skewers, however, were rubbery. Be prepared for a sizeable bill.“

“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.“

“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. 😀“

“My uncle and aunt took us to dinner at Mariscos Chihuahua while we were visiting in Tucson. The food was absolutely AMAZING! So fresh and perfectly seasoned! My husband I split the Pulpo Marinero, while my uncle and aunt shared the Camerones Culichi. We all loved our food. Great drinks, fun atmosphere, and outstanding service! You have to go see them!! We will be back!“

“Their food is delicious. They have a skilled chef who makes their food with perfection! it's also fresh every time!“

“They have amazing food and drinks“

“First time. Service, great. Food, Great. Tight table spacing. Happy friendly atmosphere. We will be back.“

“I ate the Pin+Flour during my stay at the Eddy hotel and enjoyed every bite. The special that day was a steak served with smashed crispy potatoes and roasted carrots. The steak was cooked to perfection and every part of the dish was well seasoned and delicious. There’s outdoor seating beside gas fireplaces near the pool which was perfect after swimming all day. Earlier I had a few drinks along with chips and guacamole during happy hour (which is daily from 4-6) and everything was 10/10. The bartender who was also serving the food was great, really a friendly person who knows how to make a drink.“

“Had my 70th birthday dinner here and by far it was one of the best restaurant experiences. The hostess was very friendly and wished me a happy birthday. The servers were very attentive throughout the entire meal. The drinks and food were fantastic. They really went out of their way to make me feel special.“

“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.“
