Main Gate Square’s finest. Excellent managing of the establishment during chaotic times by Eric S. — Mia, Cyrina, Levi, Evan, all excellent servers — even the hostesses, bussers, Faith, others, all AWESOME. Food is always great. Wings are seriously good, brussel sprouts are great. Burgers are huge and tasty. Drinks always cold. Can’t beat the atmosphere for Wildcat games. Iconic spot at UA. Bear Down.

Been wanting to try this place out since I moved to AZ over 20 years ago! Finally got there, and I loved it. Good food, great service, glad I finally made it!

Mid food for high prices. Plenty of places around the area with equal prices, better quality food and more professional servers. My kids (16 and 18 yo) even complained.

Great selection of beer on tap. I got a flight to sample and narrow my choice down. Food was great as well. Very convenient to our hotel. Will return on our next trip to the old Pueblo.

Man, what a way to dump all over nostalgia. My wife and I left Tucson in 2011, and this was one of our favorite spots. I was particularly fond of the reuben, and was looking forward to having it again now that I'm back in town for work.

It wasn't exactly a trip down memory lane. Instead of a brewpub, the place now looks more like a cheap nightclub, with fake marble and a single, cavernous dining area. The food was borderline inedible. The Brussels sprouts were terribly oversalted, the beer-battered fries were limp and greasy, and the corned beef on my reuben had the same texture as a mouthful of rubber bands.

It's sad to say, but if you loved Gentle Ben's how it used to be, don't sully the memory by eating there now.

The Western Burger is a thing of beauty. The staff are friendly and attentive. No surprise because this restaurant is owned and operated by the same people that own two other nearby restaurants... Agave and Bacio Italiano.

Excellent burger, for $20 I was not disappointed, ever ordered extra patty. Medium was medium, not overcooked burned or anything like what you see in plenty places. Simple dish done well, served with coleslaw, makes me want to come again.

Solid sports bar! Ton of seatings, pretty good beer, super convenient location if you’re staying anywhere near campus. Staff members were very attentive (if anything, maybe too much, but I wasn’t bothered — they were really nice)

Only complaint is the sound for shows upstairs. Amazing place otherwise with friendly staff.

If you're into the University of Arizona vibe, this is a must-visit! They offer great drinks, food, and top-notch customer service. The staff was incredibly attentive and really took care of us.

Waitress Alana ensured we had a great time despite us having complicated orders, going back multiple times to make sure our party’s numerous allergies and various preferences were accounted for.

Fantastic food, excellent service, and an overall fantastically amazing time. Would recommend.

Also the Hipsterville Hazy IPA slaps
