50 Best Cocktail Bars in Tucson

“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. :-)“

“My wife and I have been there twice. each time has been an excellent experience. The service and the food is impeccable. The plating of each dish literally beautiful. this is some place where I would like to take friends and family when they come to visit.“

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

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

“The food was excellent, which is no surprise given its connection to Jonathan's Cork. Unfortunately, the overall experience fell short due to extremely slow service (although the staff was very friendly when they were tending to us) and cocktails that tasted watered down and lacked flavor. The atmosphere also felt underwhelming and could definitely benefit from a refresh to create a more inviting dining experience.“

“Paula was a fantastic server. She got our order right and smiled often when speaking to my sister and myself. I was a little disappointed that you do not serve tortilla soup the flan made up the difference. The experience was great. Thanks Paula. The manager came by our table too!“

“this is the best bar on uni! love my boot cocktails so much. thursdays are the best with karaoke outside and dj bokchoy on the inside, he always plays our requests. also game days are a blast even my mom and dad loved it for family weekend. i miss the hot dog cart :( please bring it back“

“Played pool and love the old fashioned jukebox! The varied selection of music promise something for everyone. My only quarrel would be the noise level, turn it up, if it's too loud you're too old! To their credit I didn't ask if they could turn it up so that may be my bad. I will say the bartender Jenna is quick, extremely knowledgeable, and completely on point.... please tip your service well, she certainly deserves it! All of the staff is wonderful and I have yet to throw a drink at Jenna that she hasn't been able to craft to perfection! Enjoy!“

“Chill atmosphere and nice drink specials“

“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!“

“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! ☺🍻🍹“

“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!“

“Ruth took great care of us for our first visit to this fresh/new restaurant. We came for lunch, ordered the specials, plus added an appetizer and had one of the lunch specials as an extra appetizer between the three of us. They also offer an all-you-can-eat option. All the food was attractively prepared and tasted great. We'll be back and look forward to trying the AYCE sometime. Ruth even gave us refills of our drinks to go. Thank you!“

“Perfect place to spend some time“

“I promise I'm not just giving a 5 star review because Alan works here but at the same time having a great staff is very important. Large drink selection with no food menu but they allow outside food which I think is pretty awesome. I live close by and intend to make this the regular spot“

“They have amazing food and drinks“

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

“Tio Ben’s is such a great place! It is our favorite Mexican restaurant on the northside. We love it when Mike is there on Sundays playing his guitar and singing for us. Uncle Ben is so kind, always asking and checking to make sure everything is OK and if we need anything, we never feel rushed, and you get your moneys worth.!!🫶🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻 oh yeah, and he is the most kid friendly ever!! He happens to have a large family himself and I think this makes him especially understanding of families with little ones. We so appreciate this!“

“Good food great service, love the ambience!“

“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.“

“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!!“

“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.“

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

“great place good music awsome bar tenders“

“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!“

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

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

“A great meal had here on a beautiful Tucson evening. Sat outside on a beautiful large patio that isn't right on the street (no exhaust or loud car noises during dinner is nice). Had several types of margaritas, tacos, and seca. Service was great. I recommend!“

“Staff are always friendly and courteous and the drunken noodles are great! 😋“

“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!“

“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!“

“Loved it here! The atmosphere was so fun. We stopped by for some celebratory drinks and Jesus was the best! He was very knowledgeable about liquors and asked different questions regarding what we like, didn't like, etc. and ended up making us some amazing drinks! Definitely recommend a visit and if Jesus is behind the bar you'll have the best time (and drinks)!“

“Went for Valentine's Day for both my date and I's first time at Bata. Super friendly service from the start and my server (Chloe I believe) was extremely knowledgeable about the menu. The lemon tartlets were our favorite! Great experience in a cool and refreshing environment that isn't offered much in Tucson. Great job - would recommend 10/10.“

“They have amazing food and drinks“

“Came to dinner at El Sur with the girls. Ordered the poblano hamburger and waffle fries. Did not disappoint. It was full of flavor and the right spiciness. Added a skinny margarita and it was perfect. Bartender/ waiter was attentive and in top of it.“

“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.“

“Probably one of the best hotel restaurants Ive been to. These are hotel prices but still reasonable. The drinks are stiff and delicious (special mention to the rise and shine). The food is fresh and really well made. Tacos are great. Market salad with tuna was absolutely perfect. Ive been to far too many regular restaurants unable to match that level. And, the waitresses are adorable.“

“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.“

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

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

“Michael was outstanding Great waiter an server Represents your business well“
