Cool place. Good music. Nice bartenders. Simple ! Good drink. Not sure what the wannabe foodies are complaining about.

Good Oak Bar is located right next to the Rialto Theatre in Tucson, so when I came for a show I hit Good Oak both before and after the show. Service was amazing, whiskey and bourbon selections were amazing and the music was amazing. NIck and Rae were incredible servers that made perfect suggestions. I absolutely loved it here and hope to be back very soon!

One of my favorite bars to hang out downtown. It's dark, moody, with bar seating and booths. There was a menu on the table for Jaime's Pizza next door. The bartender went to your table for your order and was friendly.

I was in here before a show at the Rialto. I hadn’t been in a few months and I am not sure what changed. Our drinks were average and super expensive. We got up charged for an old fashioned which ended up being about $17 dollars for a very small drink. The secret menu does not have many of the featured drinks from before. Just different from previous experiences and not in a good way. Super disappointing! used to love this place.

Very nice bar, killer Old Fashioned. Good selection of craft beer. You can order great pizza from the pizzeria next door.

I don't want to be such an overt hater of Good Oak--it has the style and comfort you'd desire from a small cocktail bar. But at the end of the day, they're just too simple to be memorable. Really, these are cocktails for people who don't know much about cocktails. Just about everything on the menu is safe. Too safe. A few classics, and a few originals with like three ingredients. My Sonoran Old Fashioned (Tequila, honey, lemon) was OK but it didn't add any sort of bitters or house-made syrups for pizzazz, nor did it employ an agave spirit with any depth. What a snooze. Same for the admittedly cute drink featuring prickly pear--just straightforward and unimaginative. Nothing really appealed to me, so I went with my personal top-shelf staple--a Hendrick's and tonic. But they didn't even have Hendricks! Guess they were too busy using the limited space for a bunch of whiskeys. Spoiler alert: They don't even have the biggest (or most curated) whiskey list within a couple hundred meters. They used to have a kitchen too, and I wanted to try that, but it looks like they simply gave up on that in favor of outsourcing food to the adjacent pizzeria. I don't mean any disrespect, but there's nothing Good Oak can do that isn't done better by someone else on Congress. A charming and quiet reprieve from an otherwise loud and partygoing district, but if you want to be wowed by premium beverages, just keep walking.

Great atmosphere. Sunday evening at 4pm, calm and cozy. Had dinner from Jaimes Pizza (definitely recommended also), right next door who they partner with.
The Good Oak Bar has a good vibe which I really appreciate! You are greeted when you enter and as others have mentioned, it has a "speakeasy" feel. We grabbed a booth and ordered an Old Fashioned and a Hazy IPA. They've got what you're looking for... Whether it's a nice glass of wine, good beer or an excellent cocktail. Bob was our server and was super helpful and nice! Appreciated him! The Old Fashioned was my favorite that I've had! Such a nice smooth drink! We ordered a pizza from next door and that just added to our happy experience. I'm looking forward to my next visit to the Good Oak! They also have a secret menu that has me contemplating trying one of those drinks... Although it would be hard not to get the Old Fashioned again!

This is the best vodka tonic I have ever had in my life. Premium vodka, housemade tonic and a fresh lime. I kid you not.

My friends and I went in here on a Saturday night. Although it was almost closing time the staff were friendly and helpful. We enjoyed whisky and cocktails and a very attentive waiter. We never felt rushed, just well taken care of. Very nice place and the staff were incredible. Great prices too!

A chill hideout from a hot day or weekend hangout. Has a vintage feel to the room.
