There's a circular bar at the center, along with tables, a billiards room and a separate arcade room, so there's plenty to explore beyond just grabbing a drink. The cocktail selection is extensive, and while my drink was just okay, the space itself more than made up for it. Definitely a must-see for anyone visiting Tucson, especially if you like unusual bars with real character.

Karaoke here is fun and I love their specialty drinks that change on a fairly frequent (maybe…read moreseasonal?) basis. They have happy hour specials as well, and the bartenders are consistently friendly and accommodating -- if you want them to suggest a cocktail they will. Different nights will give you different results, just depending on the event or DJ involved. I've had some really great times dancing here and then other times when it was so crowded I couldn't move a step so there was kind of no point in being there. Maybe just try it out on different nights of the week and also pay attention to the happy hour times and prices to get great deals on fun drinks when it's not so crowded.

The Hookah: They have several flavors to choose from to include house made mixes. I used to smoke hookah almost daily and would visit lounges from city to city and I must say that I am very impressed with this experience. Normally, when I take a break from hookah, my first time doing it again is too harsh and I end up stopping. I'd been eyeing the lounge for a while but wasn't sure if I'd have that same harsh experience so I held off. My birthday being the next day, and needing to kill time before celebrating; I decided to give it a try and I must say the first hit was super smooth. If you like to try different flavors, they are sure to have something to suit your tastes. Happy Hour: On Wednesdays and Thursdays, they have happy hour where you can get discounted drinks (I drank Coronas and they were about $1 and some change each. They also do Karaoke on Thursdays as well as a poetry night. Me being up in age, these nights suit me fine, especially if you want to just chill and vibe without much sensory. I haven't been on the weekend yet, but I've been told those are the more lively nights. Definitely check it out on any night; you won't be disappointed! Pricing: Again, I've only been on a Wednesday night but for $20 or so you can have premium hookah and a beer and have a good night. These are really great prices for hookah so definitely don't miss out on the Happy Hour nights if you can't make the weekend or other nights. It's a cool after work unwind spot for sure. Hospitality: Customer service was stellar. You feel like you are at home walking in. The owner is very attentive and will ensure you are satisfied with your experience. (The staff even took a birthday shot with me)! As as "former party girl" who doesn't do much of anything these days; nor have I smoked hookah in quite some time; I realized that I am a lightweight now. The staff made sure I was safe and comfortable and said I could stay as long as I needed to recuperate! This shows their integrity, professionalism, and that they truly care about their patrons and for that, this will be my "spot" (AND I will bring others to join me in the near future). Atmosphere: I vibed to the music all night. Seating was comfortable, the space was clean and the lighting wasn't too bright. They have T.V.'s playing on each side of the venue and V.I.P. seating that can be reserved. I'll be back for sure.

Fun fact, it used to be a mortuary which honestly adds to the whole slightly eerie, beautifully atmospheric charm in the best way. Why did it take me so long to get here?! Drinks aren't cheap but they are absolutely worth it. I had a non alcoholic drink that was divine and honestly didn't feel like an afterthought at all. So many little nooks to explore, but the courtyard under the palm trees was my favorite. On this visit, with moonlight, vintage architecture, and soft ambient lighting, it just felt unreal. All I could think was this is the perfect place for events, gatherings, or just lingering a little too long because you don't want the night to end.

We'd heard good things about this place and have been trying to support local downtown bars this summer, so we stopped in around 11 on a Friday night before heading home. As we sat down, we watched the bartender be pretty dismissive toward another group at the bar, so we were already a little unsure. We started talking about the decor because we liked the eclectic vibe. We jokingly pointed out that one of the pictures had a joint instead of a cigarette because someone in our group hadn't noticed. One of the bartender's first comments back, completely seriously, was, "I'm from San Diego. Have you never seen art before?" Honestly... what? It was such a weird, unnecessarily condescending response. I brushed it off at first as awkward banter, but it was a really strange first impression. The drinks were decent. The Loverlist was really good, and the Unicorn Fluff and Old Fashioned were fine. The bartender was quick to talk up their whiskey selection, but when we asked for a recommendation, she mostly gave reasons why she couldn't recommend anything and just kept saying they had "over 90 different options." Without a whiskey menu to look through, that wasn't especially helpful. We also asked for a shooter and were offered half of a cocktail instead. That would've been totally fine on its own, but combined with everything else, the service just never felt welcoming. We ended up leaving pretty quickly. I'd give the place another shot because the atmosphere is fun and has a lot of potential, but hopefully with a different bartender behind the bar.

I'm happy to have finally gotten a chance to visit Unicorn Zebra since it's been on my list from…read morethe time they opened. It's a fun and also elegant atmosphere with the zebra theme clearly exemplified across the space. I would have to say this is one of the coziest bars I've been to, the furniture and seating is really supportive of a long-term visit. There are other levels, lower and an upper level besides the main space, but be aware that if there are parties, they can typically take up different areas. Our bartender, Sarah was fantastic! The way that she handled all of the guests and the busy field was incredible, so calm and collected, and furthermore making some really incredible drinks. Heads up that the online drink menu is not the current drink menu, I couldn't remember all the names of our drinks and put those in the photo captions, so when I checked on the website, the menu was showing something different other than what I saw at the bar. Out of several places I've been to, I'd say the mixture of flavors and details in the drinks are quite unique. I'll be back for more one day
