With a cool vibe and a refreshing mix of domestic and European pours - there is something for everyone. Not normally a fan of Rose, I was enticed (rightly so) to try a wine made locally in Patagonia AZ - delish! They also have a lovely selection of cheeses, meats and other nibbles to build your own charcuterie board - so fun! This is a great place for a post-work meetup with girlfriends or as a date night before visiting the Tucson Improv Movement next door!

We ordered four simple items (cheese, pickles, olives, bread) and waited over an hour without a word. When we finally asked where our food was, the bartender admitted he hadn't even started it and asked if we still wanted it. We took just the cheese to cut our losses. He comped the cheese. We paid full price for the wine we'd been sitting with the whole time. This place has goodwill to burn through. They're burning it. Won't be back.

I ended up doing a white flight but skipped out on the Sweet white and went with a rosé and then they also had a bubbles option over all the wines were pretty good. My favorite was the Sauvignon Blanc. The bartender was very knowledgeable about the different grapes that were used to make the wine and I felt like she did a great job at making us feel welcome. I would love to come back here to try a red flight soon and then hopefully a glass of wine after I just didn't have time on this past visit this would be a super cute girls night or even a date night spot before or after dinner

Our server, June (hopefully I heard that right, as there was loud table next to us) was exceptional...attentive, genuinely friendly and hospitable. We had a gluten free bruschetta board and when we ordered entrees, June made sure to ask me about removing any unfriendly ingredients. The bar was bustling and some drinks took a little longer to receive, but we always felt well taken care of. There's a generous patio, that seemed a bit less energetic than the indoor dining, and a full bar with an extensive wine list. AND plenty of parking. Definitely recommend.

Also shared their shrimp scampi, it only had 4 shrimp but really amazing flavors with a nice kick from the chilis. Service was great. What I didn't like is their air conditioner. It was blowing directly at my head and neck so we had to move tables. Their outdoor seating is pretty good if you don't mind being a little warm.

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

Same charms, different bartender, and new summer (May) craft cocktails that have become quite substantial (see pic of double-sided menu). Though we arrived at 4:10 (right after their usual 4p opening) on a Saturday, no happy hour, but we were first patrons and grabbed the big bay window. We are both on a mezcal discovery kick and ordered the Black Cathedral ($16) and the Girl Dinner ($16). Each was as described (pic) and delicious. We had dinner plans and needed to leave at 5:15 - just as things were picking up. We'll definitely be back sooner.

UPDATE: I originally had a negative experience due to service from one staff member, but I want to…read moreupdate this after speaking with the owner, Rebecca, and the manager, Ashley. They were both incredibly kind, took the time to really listen, and genuinely understood my concerns. That meant a lot to me, and it's clear they truly care about their guests and their business. I also appreciated how personable Rebecca was, she was very present, empathetic, kind, and understanding, acknowledging that the situation had been handled very poorly. I've always loved the food here, you can taste the quality, creativity, and mindfulness in everything. Every other staff member I've encountered has been wonderful as well. The atmosphere is warm, inviting, and honestly a great little getaway. Because of how this was handled and the consistency in everything else, I'm updating this to 5 stars. It's the kind of place where you can slow down, unwind from life's demands, share an impressive bite, and enjoy a glass of rosé while taking in the ambiance. I definitely recommend supporting this local business. Rebecca is a genuine, savvy businesswoman, and I really respect the care and intention behind what she has built. Cheers to letting the sunshine in and the dark cloud fade away. (Original review below for context) Very disappointing experience. Our server, Bryce, was dismissive, rude and inattentive from the start. He wasn't checking on our table at all, and we had to flag him down just to get drinks. We were still eating and planning to order more food and drinks, but service never improved. After waiting with empty glasses, I went inside to order another glass of rosé for myself and a second gin and tonic for my friend. That's when he told me he was "closing us out" and that we needed to leave. This was completely unprovoked and said in front of the bartender and other staff, which made the situation uncomfortable and unprofessional. We were not intoxicated or disruptive in any way. I had only had two glasses of rosé and was trying to order a third, and my friend had one cocktail and was ordering her second. The third glass I did receive appeared under-poured, which added to the overall discomfort, but at that point we were just trying to enjoy our time and catch up. It was surprising that a server would take it upon himself to cut off and remove guests under these circumstances, especially when basic service had not even been provided. Because of this, we chose not to order additional food or drinks. I've been here before with friends and clients and had good experiences, which makes this even more disappointing. This experience completely changed my impression, and I will not be returning

Our friend highly recomended we go to Sunshine Wine last night, and the location was lovely and the…read moreservice was fine. My concern is with the food--none of the dishes we ordered tasted good, and the price was high for the portions we received. The ceasar salad, for example, was bland, and the dressing was salty and bitter. When compared to the salad at a restaurant just down to road, I found this one inedible. I rarely write reviews and I don't do this in a mean-spirited way--I would love to see a local restaurant and bar succeed. It is just that we paid $83 for two drinks and 4 small plates, and couldn't eat two of them and left hungry. I hope the food can improve!

They said they had a good selection of non alcoholic drinks, really they have a lot of sugary drinks and a couple of non alcoholic bears which are pretty pedestrian. It is very noisy because there is not one thing to absorb the noise in the place. It's very well suited for suburban women to feel like they are getting out for a glass of wine for a girls happy hour. I think it's best to go later in the evening for music and dancing. It's not a place to bring animals if that's what you want. If they upped their non alcoholic game I would like it better.
