Decor is awesome, atmosphere would match, and I suppose they do play older music, (classic rock?), but classic rock is quite distinctly and noticably NOT the same era as the decor, which kills the effect. Still I love the place, but need to wear headphones to get the full time-traveling effect.

They do not serve food here, hence the non rating. Their bartenders are simply the best in town. A big fan of Sher as she is definitely our favorite person at this establishment. The atmosphere is unique and timeless.

Well I was walking my dog one night by the place and asked someone out front smoking for a cigarette they gave me one offered a light and a drink. Then I went in not knowing if my dog was okay to be there then the bartender asked if my dog could have a puppy cup which is whip cream in a plastic cup. D.O.Ge went to town on that cup and have to admit the place is nice and comfortable. Thanks again for the hospitality.

Nothing but praises for this place!! The drinks are amazing, incredibly priced, and generous with their alcohol. The decor and the general vibes are excellent, too :). Great place with great people!

There’s a lot to say about this place. Great staff, Fantastic bar, and eclectic vibe. I’ve been coming here for a little over a decade, and can say hands down the Shelter is one of Tucsons best gems. The staff is knowledge, professional, tentative, and polite. Crystal, who works primarily weekdays (Monday-Wednesday), and Eric (Thursday-Saturday) offer a welcoming and fun atmosphere, and are unbelievably talented at their craft. If you’re in the area, and dig unique and unconventional dive-esq establishments, this is the place to visit. Tip well, and enjoy the genuine Tucson experience.
