I love this place, karaoke nights are a blast and the hosts of that are fun (please tip them also because they're great). They have several pool tables, and the majority of them are in the smoking section...that's the only thing I'd change. Bars are for drinking, not for smoking. Otherwise, I have absolutely appreciated/respected this place and all of the great staff that they hire. Can't say that I've ever tried the food, but they have a good selection of standard dive bar beers and craft brews on tap, as well as liquor. I can't wait to go back and support the business when Rona season ends. read more

This restaurant is so amazing. We had awesome food and drinks and Brittany our server was so nice and everything was great. The atmosphere is super cool and all of the TV's make it fun to watch sports!! Totally recommend it. We will be back with more friends. Thank you Depot. And it's locally owned. A plus for us!!! read more

This is our 4th visit in 3 years. Gets better each time. We're foreigners from Phoenix and like to play Buzztime trivia. Great service and food tonight. read more

Staff are very good. Granted it does get busy on a Friday or Saturday. Plus is Tina is fluent in ASL. Great plus to already great team. Fish n chips special was two huge pieces of fish. Dragoon IPA on tap. All great prices! Staff take care of you. read more

Great place. Hole in the wall sports bar type of feel, the food and drinks never disappoint.

Been here a couple of times. We like it. I got hot wings, that were just ok. Hubby got a burger that he enjoyed very much. It looks sketchy outside, but, it's nice inside. We had good service. A couple of things, when you order a sandwich/burger, menu says it comes with coleslaw/cottage or chips. Hubby ordered fries...and I saw several others with the same dish. No one was given the "chips/coleslaw or cottage" that is supposed to come with the meal, which was a bit discerning. We never brought it up to the bartender--but will next time! Then, if you pay by credit card, you will be charged an extra percentage(s). They are passing on the credit card fees to you. (which by law, they can do). But, be aware, you might want to bring cash, if that's an issue for you. It's a bit odd, as a biz of that size normally never passes on the CC fees, EVER. This is a first. So, just that you know the scoop, this is a decent place. read more

If it were all about the food, this place would rate a lot higher. I am delivering a sucker punch to the gut for service. So, this is a sports bar, right? Sports bars and Monday night football are a no-brainer, right? We showed up at a little after 6:30 during Monday night football. A transcript of ensuing dialogue: Waitress, as she hands us menus: Are you ready to order? Us: Huh? We may need some time to look at the menu. Me: Any specials? Waitress: It's happy hour until 7:00. Beers are $2.50, and $3.50. Me: IPA please Wife: Iced Tea please Drinks are delivered. Fast forward at least twenty minutes during which time we did not see our waitress. We were starting to wonder if she were fired. Waitress: Is everything OK? Me: Uh no, I would like another beer please. Is it still happy hour? Her: No, happy hour ended five minutes ago. ~Quizzical glances exchanged between wife and me.~ Me: Any other specials tonight? Her: No, everything is regular price but some stuff is cheaper than others. Me: Please just bring me a PBR. Her: We don't have that. Me: What do you have? Her: Miller, Bud, Pabst... Do I need to go on? The food was really good but they should really hire some better servers. By the way, the PBR was $1.75. Guess it goes up during happy hour. read more

First, let me say this place is a 3 1/2. Second, this place is a step up from the bars I've been to. They make their own potato chips, which are a bit too peppery, but great nonetheless. Their burgers are really good, and they aren't stacked so high you have to unhinge your jaw to eat them. Their beer selection is very nice, and their bartender is pretty good. When you ask what he has on tap, he asks what you like and can then give you a couple selections that fit that profile. The first few times I went, there was only one guy who was waiting tables in the entire place and tending bar, but still managed to do things fairly well. Usually when you're doing a lot of stuff like that, something suffers, and not just your frayed nerves. The last time I went, last week, there were a waitress and the bartender, and while the waitress seemed new, was very friendly and sweet, so she made up for the extra wait. read more

So we stopped in here on a Friday night after dinner to continue a birthday celebration. It was not busy at all, but I am okay with that. We were able to take over the shuffle board table and had a great time. The wait staff provided us with fresh popped popcorn (for 50 cents I believe) and they were quick and nice. After we were done with the shuffle board we headed to the pool tables. Again, good seating, tables are decent. Overall I really like this place. Its more than just a bar, we were able to play some games, talk to each other and drink at a very reasonable price. I will definitely be back when looking for a place to continue the party. read more

I was REALLY surprised at how nice this place is! They have a pretty decent selection of beer on tap, good food (we had calamari fries and the nachos), lots of tv's and an indoor smoking patio with pool tables! What more could you ask for? As some of the other reviews noted, the bartenders are not the friendliest people on Earth, but we didn't have a problem getting our correct food/drinks in a timely manner. I will definitely come here again, it's a great place for watching some Sunday football too. read more

I read a lot of reviews on here and decided to give it a try. The bar close to our house (Risky Business on Kolb/Sunrise) had my Steelers on but they don't turn up the volume on the any games. Even one would be nice to get the feel and excitement of the game. This place has the vibe and feel we wanted! The breakfast burger was excellent! Their beers were cold and the service was fantastic! It was worth the drive. I'll be back! read more

Nothing Fancy and Nothing Expected I'm going with the fact that they are close to home, offer absolutely no good service, karaoke is at best spotty--folks last night were awesome, the week before not so much. But what makes the depot awesome is no expectations--sometimes its fantastic and others not so much. The food is good, the alcohol cheap and usually its pretty clean. There are some freaks--but that makes it fun. So all in all, I'm in. Not because they're great, but because they are what they are. read more

I have been here multiple times. Getting someone to acknowledge you in a nearly empty bar is like pulling teeth! I like to support local restaurants and bars but after a few attempts of stopping for a beer and wings, I can't continue to support this place. The bartenders act busy and ignore you. The wait staff is hit or miss, sometimes good, mostly bad. read more

This could be the best bar in town. The Depot has an extremely friendly staff that will remember your face and your drink after just one or two visits. A lot of the business comes from regulars that never seem to leave the place, but also from people that enjoy singing or listening to karaoke. With about 20 big screen and plasma TVs, this is an amazing place to watch any sporting event (you even get your own speaker at your table to listen to any show you want). The drinks are priced better than most places in town and the food is surprisingly delicious. Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday are karaoke nights and usually the busiest, but every night is fun. There are pool tables and one of the only indoor smoking rooms in Tucson (don't worry, it's blocked off from the main room). Come alone, with a small group, or even a large one. The bar is ample and can fit any size on most nights. read more

We came here last night for a few drinks and to check the place out. My fiance has been trying to get me to go, and my New Years Resolution is to stop saying no to everything new. We walked in, and weren't sure if you had to seat yourself or if there was a hostess, but nobody at the bar acknowledged us walking in, so we just sat ourselves. We were very quickly approached by a guy who sat a huge white binder on our table and explained, to my horror, that it was karaoke night. I have taken singing lessons, have had solos in choirs, and sing constantly at home, but there is something about karaoke that I just wont do. We sat for a while before the waitress came up and apologized for the wait. I ordered and Arizona Sunrise, and Richard got the Hurricane. Before we got our drinks, Mr. Karaoke came up and asked us if we had picked a song. Richard said he had, but was trying to get me to sing also. Our drinks finally came out and we ordered the Depot Sampler. The karaoke guy came up again. Five minutes later, he came up again. We tried to order different drinks, but when I flagged the waitress down and said I would like another drink, she took that to mean I wanted the same one and didn't even ask Richard if he wanted another one. When she got back, he said he would like another Hurricane and two Jaeger bombs. The Jaeger bombs were warm, even the energy drinks were room temperature. (during which time, the karaoke guy came up AGAIN, and asked if I needed more "liquid courage") Our appetizers came out after a while, and it wasn't horrible, but it wasn't amazing. Actually, the mozzarella sticks, which I don't really like, were really tasty. The breading on them was very flavourful. Karaoke guy came up while we were eating. Our waitress never came back after that. I had been harassed enough by Richard(reminding me of my resolution) and the karaoke guy to sing Paradise By The Dashboard Light with Richard. It was horrifying. Nothing to do with the bar, or it's rating, but I did not want to do it, and it was just as humiliating as I had thought it would be. We flagged down our waitress, who, when she was actually at our table, very pleasant and after another 10 minutes we got our check and left. I think it was pretty expensive, after by myself having two Arizona Sunrises, two Jeager Bombs and a Blue Moon Beer to not feel any kind of buzz. It doesn't take me a whole lot to get a little tipsy, and I sure didn't leave with that feeling. In all, I am not sure I will be back, definitely not on karaoke night. read more

Lot's of bar space and seating. Smoking area inside with pool tables. Cold, cold beer. Friendly waitstaff. Good eats in a laid back atmosphere. read more

Good beer selection. Tons of TV for watching games. Nachos are yummy and huge servings. Chicken strips and fries were great. Prices were reasonable and service was good. I think I'll be coming back for a game sometime. read more

The youthful days of hanging out in a pool hall have long passed and I'm not a patron of sports bars, being a teetotaler, but somehow my curiosity lead me to the Depot today and it was quite enjoyable. I was drawn by the train car exterior and was amazed at the sight of so many sports fans enjoying Sunday morning football on all the large screen TVs running wall-to-wall. The food and sodas came in servings big enough for a lumberjack. I had the Birdie, which was a Club, and it was super tasty and came with homemade potato salad. My partner ordered the "Toledo Walleye", which was actually battered surimi. She pronounced it "quite good." The French fries side order was excellent. We regretted not ordering the fresh potato chips. It'd be a fun place to return with friends to watch a big sporting event, like when the Wildcats play Oregon! read more

I've been coming here for years and I've rarely been disappointed: the food is dependably good (I just had the meatloaf-it was great!), the liquor is reasonably priced & the staff is friendly and attentive. I no longer smoke, but the smoking/pool room and porch areas are the best in town (and you'll meet a whole different group of people). The location is central, you can play pool in a non-smoking area if you want, and the karaoke show is great on weekend nights. It's a sports bar with many, many TVs and they'll put on whatever you want to watch. Yeah, it's a good neighborhood bar. read more

I have found my new hangout!! YES! :) Personally I had a great time. Other than the cheap drinks...which sold me from the get go, they have KARAOKE!! I stopped in on a Saturday night around 11 and it was busy but not crowd crushing. Needless to say a great time! And for future use I found out that on top of the pool tournaments they have there on Wednesday nights that they open the tables on Saturday and Sunday for free pool! Anyway it was a big score for me since I live in the neighborhood! read more

Went here again for the CWS game (go cats). The place was more crowded and active. I still love the fact that there are several tvs to ensure that everyone in out party could see the game. I did feel that service was a bit strange this trip. The waiter did stop by all the tables to make sure everyone was taken care of, and he did do that often. It just felt that he was very forgetful and could only do a couple orders at a time. Not that I blame him, as suggested by other yelp reviews, there's only one person who serves as waitstaff for people on the floor. It looked like it could be pretty overwhelming when the bar got packed for the game. After he came back with everybody's food except mine, I was comped a beer: something I greatly appreciated with 4 innings left. The food was okay, but I prefer their chips over their fries. read more

The Depot has a pretty good atmosphere especially for sports fans. I've been here a few times and it's pretty good, I mean it doesn't grab me and shake me and make me want to rush back like some bars, but I have a good time here. The inside is surrounded with large TVs usually filled with sports, and you get a little table radio device to tune into to any of the TVs. Outside you can smoke and they have a TV or two to keep watching. The waiter service was pretty good the latest time I went although the waitress would start to make small talk at our table and then walk away just as we were chatting. It was kind of strange. And she disappeared for a while and we had to hunt someone else down to get a bill. But otherwise we were checked on often and got the beer refilled. I give this thumbs up for the sports bar angle. And a good place to shoot pool. It crowds up on Sunday football days and there are all kinds of drink specials that day. read more

I have been here three times, each with a very different crowd and for different reasons. First time I came in with some friends and we sat at the bar, had a few drinks, BS'd, and moved on with our night. No complaints on this one. Second time I met some friends here to watch football and eat hangover food. Mission accomplished. The seating area is large, there are a lot of TV's, and our server was decent enough. No complaints on this one. Third time I came here with a friend to sit at the bar and have a drink and BS, and we ended up playing pool, shuffle-board and dancing to the juke box. This time was better than the others. Had a really fun time. As you can see, this bar is pretty versatile. There were more people in the smoking section than the rest of the bar each time. Also, I haven't been here for karyoke night, but a lot of ppl like it, so that could be a fourth thing this place has to offer. My expectations of sports bars aren't incredibly high to begin with, so this place is definitely A-OK. read more

I've found my regulation-sized shuffleboard table!!!!!! (Thank you, Felicia P!) When we first arrived, we grabbed a table and ordered some food and brew. There were plenty of TVs all over the place. I wasn't really into any of the teams playing so I asked for a trivia game and focused my attention there (think the games at Buffalo Wild Wings). Maybe it's because we were seated close to where servers came out from the bar/kitchen area but we were constantly asked how we were doing and/or if we needed anything. The service wasn't bad at all. The food was above average bar food. I felt like they had a lot of nice choices in case you weren't craving a plate full of grease. The ( served purposely cold) roast beef sandwich was delicious and I really dug their coleslaw. It wasn't mayo-based and tasted fresh and yummy. After some food, sports/trivia and a couple of pitchers, I whooped my better half on the shuffleboard table. If shuffleboard isn't your thing, there's a large adjacent room with several pool tables (also the smoking room). I had a really good experience, overall. read more

Lots of TVs, lots of tables, already a good start. Service is lacking, but may depend on your server. Drinks were inconsistent - the first was like water and the second was significantly stronger with a noticeable color difference. Sweet potato fries were ABSOLUTE delicious. read more

This place needs a new weekend cook. One weekend we were served 4 orders of badly burned onion rings. Dried to a shivel and dark brown. Our burgers were overcooked too. Couple weeks later I was served seriously burned potato skins. I asked for another order: the cook refused. He said "they will be the same because the skins are too small and they all burn." What kind of a cook is that? The amount of food he's cooking is too small for the time and temperature he chose? read more

These folks are doing it right. Clean, less tables and chairs. Employees wearing masks and gloves and cleaning between customers. Butch and his family and employees showing they care. ***** read more

This place has great food ! The specials are pretty much the same the days of the week and we have them memorized. Way too much food (if that's a problem) The bar tending staff is really friendly too. Crystal is entertaining..The atmosphere is a little dark which is nice sometimes to destress. read more

Went to The Depot on Sunday for football. Found myself in a high energy bar with lots of cheering people. The food came out fast for how busy it was, tasted excellent. If you go you must try the Eastcoast Pastrami. Out of this world. The service was great very attentive workers all working together to make a great experience. You do not realize how big this place is until you walk in, they have so many televisions you can watch every game. Great place for a sporting event or a large party. Think of this place for upcoming holiday parties. I have been back already once this week and going to try Friday night. read more

The Depot - Pool Halls Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

Great food... Great environment... Lots of tvs... Tons of seating... SEVERELY understaffed. Was here for the Arizona vs. 2 Oregon football game ...place was packed but was able to walk in and get a seat instantly... Lots of tvs, not a bad seat in the house. Unfortunately, every time I have been here there has only been one waitress for the entire dining area. Meh. read more

Great place reasonable price for drinks and great place to karaoke. Would definitely come back over and over again!

The waiting game...Unfortunately we had to experience getting our food 40 min later. The tap was not available and had to get a different beverage at a higher price without consideration. If it weren't for a playoff game to entertain us, it does not justify the fact we had to wait for an eternity to get our food and find out the beverage was out. We will not be back here again! read more

This place is a joke... I'll never go there again. We were in what we would call the restaurant area. Which was almost completely EMPTY by the way. After being completely ignored we stopped a passing by waitress and asked if we could get some service to order another round and some food... she then proceeded to lecture us about "how it works around here" and that if we wanted another round we should go up to the bar and get it our damn selves... WOW! if that wasn't bad enough, when we did finally convince them to bring us another round she accused one of us of being "Over Served"... It's pretty damn hard to be over served when you aren't being served at all! Horrible service with attitude... We asked for the bill and they brought us five separate bills and all of them wrong, charging us for drinks we never ordered. We surely are sorry we picked this ish hole to try and enjoy a Saturday evening of college football. read more

Food was Great thank you for the suggestions and good service Meat loaf Mondays every two weeks fish tacos where ok

Lots of TV's for your viewing pleasure, good place to go shoot some games of pool and if you are a smoker then there is smoking in the pool area. They have excellent "bar" food and the beer is priced pretty well. Just be sure to go with the small or large pitcher. ;) I am a little biased to this bar, being that it is my neighborhood bar. However I will admit that the service at times can be rather.........slow. It' even aggravates me at times. Have fun and be sure to stay too late! read more

This is a sports bar and restaurant.... They built on a game room using a couple of big train cars.... Seems like the perfect place to take a kid who's obsessed with trains and football to watch a football game, right? Wrong! We arrived just in time to catch a game recently and found an empty table -- plenty of empty tables. Despite having been acknowledged when we walked in the door, we had to wait a while for a server. It seemed that there was some sort of controversy with an older man who looked like the owner or manager, as he kept giving us stink eye. We finally flagged down the waitress and asked her for menus as we proceeded to order beers (unfortunately not a great beer selection -- and no AZ breweries at all). After taking our order and consulting again with the older man, the waitress delivered all of our beers and told my wife and I that only one of us was allowed to drink. This is apparently their policy for parents, which seems a little excessively nannyish. Not wanting to inconvenience the rest of our group, we said we would go along with this policy, but didn't agree with it... nor did we agree that we should have been allowed to order and then have the rules change (or rather have the rules dictated to us as though we had done something wrong). Our friends, however, all agreed with us and decided that we should hasten our exit. Meanwhile, the owner/manager/old guy stared us down some more.... so we confronted him and confirmed that he was the owner. When asked what his problem was, the owner/old guy responded in a high pitched and defensive voice that there was no problem at all, before explaining that there was in fact a problem. It went downhill from there..... Apparently, he was worried for our son -- not that our son had done anything terribly wrong, but this guy worried greatly about his safety. We reminded him how awkward and uncomfortable his "concern" was, which is when he pulled out his heavy artillery..... He pointed out that our son was crawling on the floor earlier (which we also didn't like, but it's tough keeping a child occupied while staff is reviewing whether or not to offer service). He took it a step further to ask us if we had considered that our son could lose an appendage.... Ummm, no, we don't usually think in those terms.... And that's when he flashed his hand in the air with missing fingers and explained that he had lost his fingers as a child (presumably because of neglectful parenting and maybe bars -- must have somehow been related). Blam! There was the hand, right in our faces! It was uncomfortable, to say the least, so we simply expressed condolences for this man's missing appendage(s) and reminded him that we didn't need to feel harassed any further. We then left and swore to never ever return. read more

Love it! Great place to watch sports and not too crowded. A wall of flat screen televisions and speakers you can set up on your table. But, what blew me away was the food. None of us were expecting great food in this place. Onion rings, chicken wrap, french dip... It was sublime. You can get your sandwiches and burgers with freshly made potato chips. Yes! And I will never forget our cuter than a button and about to burst pregnant waitress. She was just getting off her shift and she told us we were her last table before she went on maternity leave. It warmed the cockles of my heart. read more

Passing thru Tucson, I was looking for a place to watch some NFL. I found this place on the web and thought I'd give it a try. It was dark when I went looking for the place. I nearly drove right by it because their sign wasn't lit...trust me, because of the slightly remote location, this is easy to do. The inside seemed quaint, but awfully quiet for Monday Night Football. I ordered potato skins and a beer. I asked for a side of buffalo sauce to go with my skins...which I was charged for. The skins were average...not bad, but I've had much, much better ones elsewhere. There are some pool tables and plenty of seating available...or maybe it seemed so because so few patrons were inside. There were lots of TVs to watch the game. So I can't help but wonder why there were so few people inside...uninteresting MNF game that night...or could it be due to a bad location for the business, a bad reputation, bad food, or something I didn't experience? Other than having a hard time locating this place at night (cause the sign was unlit), I find this place acceptable. I think this place has potential but may need a bit more attention from management. read more

Came by for some food with a friend. The server was very rushed, even though they weren't busy. When she took our order, she yelled across the room, from behind the bar. Couldn't even come over to talk to us. The burger was okay. But my friend's club came with soggy chips and white tomatoes. We're pretty easy going but when she took our order by yelling over the loud music across the room, we were over it. read more

Wow, this place has gone downhill. I used to go the The Depot years ago when I lived in the area. The service was good, the food was good and they always had the game you we looking for. Now: they have the game you're looking for. The male bartender was young and cocky and seemed like he always had something better to do than take my order or bring my food. The female bartender was no different except that she wasn't young and she chomped on her gum like a Jersey cow. The nachos here used to be awesome so I ordered them. I waited and waited some more before I went to the bar to see where they were. They came out soon after that, however, theg were not the nachos of old. They were smothered in cheap nacho cheese sauce that was cold by now. The chips were soggy and the "chili" was a thin smear on top. When I paid my bill I told the bartender that I liked the way they did the nachos in the past with shredded cheese. He replied "you could have ordered them that way." The menu did not have that option. It just said "Nachos". I will not be back. read more
