Nice option for a bite before symphony performance. The vibe is cool casual friendly and welcoming. Historic venue. Nightjar is the bar but pop around 10 feet to the right and you can order some food from the Coronet Cafe. Lots of great choices, there are as pretty as they are yummy! You can eat them on the patio or sit inside Nightjar if it's breezy outside. And the have their own onsite parking lot which is great. read more

I enjoy coming to this place after dinner at the coronet, a night out on the town, or a hockey game/show at the TCC. The location is beautiful and cozy-- the perfect end to a night with a delicious cocktail. read more

We visited Saturday night, and I was thrilled to discover that Keila has returned. The Shire Water was absolutely delicious, and while the Rumpkin Stiltz reminded me of an Old Fashioned, I really enjoyed the unique pistachio smear on the outside of the glass. read more

Yummy drinks made by the kind and talented Keela and even yummier food in a cozy environment.

Ambiance is beyond incredible- like you stepped out of downtown to a quaint little village, there was live music and curated cocktails. Very warm and inviting. The restaurant was closed for the night so we ordered some small apps at the walk up cafe - wonderful for a nightcap. Would loved to have gone back and tried the restaurant as the aromas coming from it were amazing. read more

Finally got to try out Nightjar/ (Mayer Ave cafe/The Coronet?) ?? [ Glad I was adamant about trying this place, because their hours posted on Google said it was closed (perhaps with different names/changes?) ... I gave em call and found they were open!!! Whoohoo!] With the very convenient parking lot outback, but not so convenient signs as to where to enter, or that there was more then one entrance, we found our way through the front.. Upon walking in, you're immediately met with a beautiful, quiet courtyard, that leads down various paths, one of which leads to the café. Inside you can find the cafe counter, as well as various gifts, treats, and goodies of all sorts, as well as a friendly great from the baristas behind the counter. The daytime menu, (8-2), is a unique, yet simple variety of food, that is appealing yet also not your standardized breakfast brunch food by any means... from granola at $13, to a more sophisticated Barrio Gravelax bagel w/ side salad at $18 - this is by far one of the more intriguing places in town for the daytime options, with a price to match. I tried what felt like a familiar, yet interesting enough southern bowl, which consisted of two fried eggs, black beans, spuds (potatoes), with warm green chili & cilantro lime crema at $15, with the option of adding Dragoon session sausage at $8, or bacon for $6 dollars more, (which I opted out of to not burn a hole in my pocket before noon). My mother splurged a bit and got the Gravelax bagel w/ side salad at $18. We also picked out two café drinks, a café Americano (hot), and an iced mocha, which came out as hot, but eventually got the right one (iced).. all very tasty!! Both dishes, we agreed, were very well prepared and plated beautifully.. mine caught me off guard a slight bit, when I realized I never specified over-easy eggs, which ultimately was a little much to stomach, but very much appreciated the presentation. My mother expressed her enjoyment of the unique nature of the Gravelax bagel w/ side salad, but unfortunately, we both felt it was a little more money then was reasonable for what it ultimately was.. which essentially, is just a bagel with fish and a small small side... perhaps because it had fish? and a small portion of salad? I guess that it validates the price.. but, felt because of the many vast breakfast/lunch spots in town to choose from at a more reasonable price, ultimately felt a bit of a stretch, especially for my wallet and for dropping big bucks all before noon. Our café experience was definitely the highlight of our experience! Very well the best coffees we've had in a while, and why I left with at least some satisfaction.. This place has so much to offer in atmosphere, quality of service, and delicious drinks, so I hope to see more diversity when it comes to menus and price points to suit all walks of life that could really appreciate this beautiful place, and really benefit this business and amplify its potential. :) Perhaps I'll come with guests for an fancy evening at (Nightjar? Coronet?), where I can justify a more pricy, sophisticated option. read more

Love everything about this place. In 24 hours we got drinks at Nightjar, dinner at Coronet and breakfast at the cafe. It's all perfect. Do it. read more

This was such a lovely accidental find after a hockey game around the corner at TCC arena. Bartenders are friendly and knowledgeable, more than happy to discuss what might most tickle your fancy that given evening. The room when you initially walk in is a bit cramped for my liking, but the door area definitely offers the best ambience IMHO- it was chilly, but they have very powerful heaters by each table to keep you snug as a bug in a rug. I had the butler's consort, a lovely, citrus-y gin drink that was perfectly balanced. My partner enjoyed their sazarac so much he has been ordering them everywhere we've been since- he's on a kick. Overall, 10/10 spot for late night drinks to round out your night with a well-made cocktail. read more

I have been wanting to go to Nightjar for awhile. Last night was date night with my wife and we took the opportunity. I love walking up to the door and seeing the candles. We were greeted by a very friendly waiter who gave us multiple options to seat ourselves (they have both indoor and outdoor seating). I like to have poutine once a year and Nightjar's version was just ok compared to having it in Quebec or Ottawa. My poutine was delivered without the rabbit that I ordered and when it came out my wife was halfway done with her meal which was a little disappointing. As a former waiter, I am a big believer in writing things down to mitigate mistakes. The way the rabbit was prepared was with chicken stock and as such it tasted like chicken. I don't understand the point of having rabbit if it does not taste like rabbit. The protein itself was very high quality. There was also sparse gravy and as you can see from the picture, the fries absorbed a lot of it. The fries themselves were made from scratch (as they should be) and were very good in terms of form, texture, and taste. There is no shortage of great restaurants around us, and I applaud them for having different dishes. I think the chefs will improve over time, but for now, I am good with not having this dish for another one-to-two years. I'm still glad that I ordered it. The ambiance with the charm and character that Nightjar offers is hard to beat. I really believe that Nightjar has so much potential to improve and with some adjustments, it could become one of the very best restaurants in Tucson and the surrounding area. Perhaps rotating the menu once or twice a month is part of the solution. I look forward to coming back perhaps at the end of summer or early fall. read more

Late night happy hour 9-close was my favorite part about this place. They had $6 dollar house wines a red and a white and they were both delicious. We also got to try some of their more fancy drinks. If you like a refreshing sparking drink you got to get the fearie water, and if you need a little caffeine to keep up with your group you got to try the Valvet Saddle! The staff here AMAZING! They go above and beyond to ask you if you have any questions or walk you through the menu. We just felt so welcome by bartenders they were amazing, and because of them we will be BACK! Thank you for the amazing service. Ohhh and the late night cafe burger was AMAZING! read more

Such a great vibe here - live music, perfect for the setting and the food was delish, even at the end of the night. We had the pasty and the tuna sandwich - both very well made and tasty!! The ambiance on the patio under a full moon just topped off a great night. Thanks, Nightjar!! read more

We ate at the Coronet and stopped here for a night cap. It is the same owner and connected by a cute courtyard. The ambiance is great, with small tables and table lights. The bartender was very helpful in explaining each cocktail. The food menu is very similar to the Coronet. My husband tried their version of espresso martini which is done Roth cold brew - not too sweet and the flavor was just right! I had a gin based drink which was very well balanced. read more

Absolutely love! This place was across the street from our hotel otherwise I'm not sure we would've stumbled upon it. We enjoyed the vibe and drinks so much that we came back here the next night too. Bartender was awesome and could stir up whatever your heart desires, but the specialty cocktails were all outstanding. Just a great, relaxed place to enjoy a drink... or two or three. read more

Love the food here. Great atmosphere. The service was a reasonable amount of time. I would come here again

Looking for a place to take your date out?? This IS the place. 10/10 for their ambience. It's romantic. It's intimate. And it's in a quieter area of downtown. The drinks here are quite pricey but worth what you pay for. I love their well crafted cocktails and the options to sit in or outside the restaurant. Food wise, it's good and pairs well with their drink selections. read more

This place is super cute. It's a little pricey but it's interesting conceptually. The place is broken into three separate places. There is a restaurant that requires reservations, an open seating patio area with an additional indoor seating area and then a cute little bar with its own entrance. The staff was very kind and accommodating. Everyone had a very efficient but laid back vibe which matched the atmosphere. The bartender especially as I spoke with him then most was super hospitable and encouraging about the menu. I had him talk me through the drink menus and even though we didn't end up eating at the establishment he was helpful with the menu. We were going to a show and the bartender continued to be very friendly and engaging which made us feel so comfortable. I will 100% be coming back. The venue location is perfect if you are seeing a show or sport at TCC or the Ronstat center. Also the hotel which is a popping location is next door and an easy walk across the street. read more

My husband and I stopped in last night for an early Valentines dinner. I love the unique menu and the dark romantic vibey atmosphere, it's very Tucson! The door was open, and it was a beautiful night! I was so excited to try some of the things on the menu. We started with the deviled eggs, one of my favorite things to eat in the world. They were beautifully presented with greens on the side that were outstanding - they had a very light dressing, and slightly sweet, just perfect! There was a tiny pickle on each egg (love that) , but unfortunately, the yolks were dry, not as bad when you got down to the bottom of the egg, but the whole top part was dry... my husband did enjoy his rabbit poutine, the rabbit was fabulous, but the the fries were on the soggier side, the homemade mustard really made this dish. My Guiness meat pie had a great crust - flaky and little raised areas on top, flavorful meat and veggies on the inside! This is a great late night place for a drink and a unique snack, more so than dinner. It is on the pricey side as well, all of this ended being $70.00 with my wine and his iced tea , 12.00 for the 3 pickled eggs halves was a little bit much. I do love that there are a few of Galician specialties on this menu such as the Santiago almond cake and the octopus with Galician sauce! We will come back but just for a late night and a drink, this such a great place to have in this historic neighborhood. read more

Fantastic. Rabbit poutine ftw. No need to go to the coronet. The moody Victorian vibe and great food is here.

I like the Night jar. It's consistent with the theme of being a throwback kinda place. Great drinks. Super service.

Great food. Not your normal night spot with eclectic selections and specialty drinks.

Great atmosphere, lovely outdoor seating, good food and drinks. It has a romantic feel to it.

I have always loved the Coronet, mostly for the ambience. I came for the ambience and stayed for the food. Since they have relocated and started 2 new businesses within the property, things have changed. There seem to be many constant changes, that now each experience seems hit or miss. This is in my neighborhood and usually a go-to. Prices have risen, which is understandable. A recent change at Nightjar is no more table service, which drastically changes the experience. If you want food too, you'll have to order in two separate places. When you walk in, you'll have to navigate your way through a busy bar first. By the time you're finished ordering your meal and drinks, you've lost out on the time you would've been spending with your dinner guests. read more
