It's easy to find them and all you have to do is grab it give to the bartender and walla pay for it and tip you are done. They are great about supplying glass some ice etc etc etc. It usually a pretty good temperature inside and there can be a food truck in front. It feels like home in Tucson, not some corporate place.

A good bit of local flavor worth checking out…read more Around the corner from the busiest segments of 4th ave lies a neighborhood bar with weekly food trucks, occasional live entertainment, and a relatively quiet hangout for downtown Millennials. What I love: Eclectic draft beer selection that isn't too heavy on IPAs. A TON of wines, including *Superstition Mead* by the glass. An extensive menu of spirits. There might not be a better place in town to discover something new! What I like: Retail in the back--you can buy bottles to take home. Draft wine. What needs work: They have draft cocktails, and while they're boozy I don't think they're very good. Most of them are too sugary. Overall, this is a spot where you can consistently receive good service and better beverages.

This place has been on my must-visit list for new Tucson beer bar. I finally made it here on a…read moreTuesday night with less than an hour before closing. My first impression is the outdoor-friendly design, with a bar that is half al fresco and the other half inside. Shutters can close the al fresco section out during inclement weather. It was a quiet evening, with a few diehard clients at the bar. I walked in, studied the rotating menu, and settled for the one wheat beer on the list: #18 Enegren Schoener Tag Hefeweizen (5%ABV) from Moorpark, CA. It was quite flavorful with good mouth feel. I sat al fresco at the bar looking in. I enjoyed the ambiance. The inside is designed for groups to sit together and talk while sampling beer or wine. Four TVs were on the wall as an afterthought. The beertender was busy cleaning equipment before closing, but he explained to me that while the beer list rotates, the first five are staples, dominated by sours and IPAs although several lagers are also available. There is plenty of parking in the rear although I noticed that lighting is only toward the strip mall. The rear spaces are dark. I asked about dogs. Only service dogs are allowed.

I enjoy the ambiance quite a bit; it has a nostalgic feel for when times in the world were a little less chaotic. The other folks at the bar seemed to be enjoying themselves as well and were friendly and chatty. A top notch experience all the way around and I look forward to going back.

Pueblo Vida fits the profile of the type of brewery everyone loved to make fun of in the 2010s:…read moreBland interior, a menu full of IPAs, and full of millennials. I give them a pass because I like India Pale Ales and all things bitter. And I appreciate their dedication to having distinct varieties: Hazy, West Coast, and if you're lucky, one that's wacky and unfiltered. The descriptions make it easier for intermediate hop fans to distinguish between Citra, Cascade, etc. These are not entry-level brews. The rest of the menu is pretty sparse. There's seltzer, and it's mid. One Stout, one Porter, one Pilsner, and so on. I will often find something I like here, and I will gladly dub it the best place in town to sit somewhere peaceful and pound a couple hoppy beers. But there's just not enough going on for me to really recommend it to the average person.

All I had to say was that it's a tequila based bar and restaurant to my hubby and he told me to say no more and that he was all in. The vibe was great playing Los Apson and Los Bukis along with other Mexican music classics. I absolutely loved it. All of the cocktails we had were great, but I feel that they fell short on the tequila. I had Four cocktails and really didn't feel the spirits come upon me lol. No complaints on the food quality. It was very good. My husband's tacos were big but he finished both of them before my food came out. I told him to eat so that his food wouldn't get cold. I think they could use an extra bartender for the amount of people that were there on a Sunday. Overall, we would recommend supporting this local gem.

We were here in the Spring and that's the time to go! This restaurant is in an outside courtyard…read morethat is beautiful. It's a perfect setting for lunch. We were able to sit by the turtle and fish pond, so we had a perfect location. To order the food, you need to go inside to the bar and place your order. When it is ready, you go to another location to pick up your food. There are servers, but mostly to take drink orders. The food was presented beautifully and this place seems to be tailor-made for Instagram. The food was solid, but honestly it wasn't as spectacular tasting as it was great-looking. Also, it is curious that there is tipping expected (pay when ordering at the bar), but no one takes your order and you pick up your own food. To me, that's a one-star deduction. If it's self service, I don't think tipping should be expected. In terms of atmosphere and food presentation, I give this five stars. In terms of taste, it rates 3 1/2 stars. In terms of service, well, it's not bad service, it's no service.

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

The decor, overall vibe, and drink menu are really fun, but the bartender we had kind of killed the…read moreexperience. 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.

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.
