50 Best Cocktail Bars in Tucson

“Wow ! Phenomenal. Best meal I’ve ever had in tucson, and honestly maybe anywhere. The ambiance is amazing and the hospitality was great.

We started with their soup of the day which was curry based and had herbs fresh from their garden in the back. Followed by a pear and blue cheese salad, which I can’t even put into words how good it was. The rib eye was the best rib eye I’ve ever had. I’m not sure how they cook it, but it had such a unique taste.

We sat at the bar which has a beautiful view of their salt wall, and you could see the back of the house staff hard at work. The chef and staff came out numerous times to check on us. Drinks were great as well - even the non alcoholic. We will definitely be back“

“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.“

“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.“

“Amazing Service, Drinks and Food!

We found Uncorked after stopping by Cork and found it packed. The owners of Cork opened Uncorked Kitchen and Coctails. The place is unassuming but very friendly. Large shaped u shaped bar attended by Carley and Erin. They make amazing drinks and the food is amazing. Try their On the Prowl Martini or if you are old school, their Manhattan. Every drink is curated to your taste. Their Bahn Mi is second only to the stalls in Paris in the French neighborhood, St. Germaine. Their Crispy Calamari is based with an incredible vinaigrette that ties the whole dish together. Amazing place. You need to go by and try it!“

“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!“

“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!“

“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“

“Chill atmosphere and nice drink specials“

“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! ☺🍻🍹“

So ,what is the next page in this beautiful Sonoran gastronomic adventure ? Go for it Chef!“

“We really enjoyed Kintoki Sushi & Bar! We ordered the Tootsie Roll, Fury Roll, and Oishi Roll, and all three were delicious. Everything came out beautifully presented, fresh, and full of flavor. 🍣

The calamari was delicious—perfectly crispy and definitely a favorite! We also tried the Sriracha wings. They had really good flavor, but they were a tad too spicy for both my husband and me 🌶😂. If you love some heat, though, you’ll probably really enjoy them!

The ambiance is great—nice, comfortable, and perfect for a sushi date night—and the service was excellent. Everyone was attentive and welcoming. We had a great experience overall and will definitely be back to try more rolls! ❤🍣🥢“

“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!“

“Es un lugar delicioso,exquisito con un sabor casero. Excelente Servicio, Recomendado al 100%.“

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

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

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

“Perfect place to spend some time“

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

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

“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+!!“

“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!“

“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!“

“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!“

“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.“

“Good food great service, love the ambience!“

“We ALWAYS enjoy the food at El Sur, but today our server KARLA, suggested the mocajete with beef, chicken, and shrimp- with all the fixings. I could have eaten the sauce, as a soup, it was SO good! The service, atmosphere, and quality of food NEVER dissappont!! Im stuffed!😀“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“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!“

“great place good music awsome bar tenders“

“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🤘“

“Came for a late lunch Saturday during Sonoran Restaurant Week. First time. Good menu options but we decided to go with the special prix fixe menu. Tacos were simple but very flavorful! Waiter was great. Prickly Pear Margarita was good although it was a bit expensive for the size but beautifully done. Dessert was excellent. We watched the U of A football game while we ate and they had a big screen outside on the patio that looked like fun. Happy hour looked pretty good-Monday through Friday for one hour everything is half-off!“

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

“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)!“

“Very chill place and great music!!“

“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!“

“They have amazing food and drinks“

“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.“

“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!“

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