    Top Hat and Penicillin
    Mandy T.

    We came here on Saturday night and tried 2 drinks on their cocktail list. The top hat and the Penicillin. We disliked both. They were nice and traded them. I got a Tom Collins and he got a beer next. The Tom Collins was not good either. I would say to come here for the cool space, fun game room with board games, live music and just order a beer or hard seltzer.

    Espresso martini

    BEST ESPRESSO MARTINI Manny is the best ever such a fun find! Such a great atmosphere and vibe.

    Whiskey and soda
    Erika J.

    Fun atmosphere! They have a Dj and plays great music. I had their whiskey & soda water cocktail. MY favorite!

    Never had better service.

    My roomate and I have tried almost every expresso martini in Tucson & Manny makes the best one. MANNY IS the BEST BAR TENDER INCREDIBLE SERVICE!! Highly recommend.

    Margarita to-go during the pandemic - delicious!

    Before COVID-19 was even a "thing", I had visited The Royal Room a couple of times and liked it. The interior is very funky, kind of retro and eclectic. It's dimly lit inside which sets a mood. The cocktails I had were always unique... I remember one that had a component with jasmine in it which I absolutely loved. Overall, I enjoyed coming here for craft cocktails and to chat with friends in a low key but fun setting. After COVID-19, The Royal Room was one of the first places I found that was serving cocktails to go. Though I had only been a handful of times, I decided to give them a shot. To be honest I'm glad I did because The Royal Room has quickly become one of my favorite bars in town!! Their in-house margaritas are some of the best in town. No overly sweet syrups or cheap tequila, just a perfect Marg with a punch!!! Their floradoras also quickly became a favorite in my home, with it's sweet but tart flavor. Royal Room also sells some food, though I've never tried it. Another reason I became such a fan of the Royal Room post-pandemic was because of how supportive they are of their local community. They are outspoken on issues that matter to me and are always promoting other businesses in the area. Though they are not on 4th avenue, having that community spirit is what makes the 4th avenue area so special to Tucson. The Royal Room fits right in. I'm looking forward to the day I can have a seat inside the bar and sip on a new drink. The Royal Room deserves high praises

    At the bar. Royal Room.

    This is a nice local bar for good priced beers and cocktails. Sometimes there are themed nights with a DJ music. Other times its just random streaming TV. They have a nice vibe there for a cool night out. Very limited on food options but decent snacks for sure.

    Meat plate
    Rachel C.

    Went here on the recommendation of a friend because of their meat and cheese board (I'm a sucker for charcuterie). Mistake one was coming on trivia night (don't get me wrong, I love a good trivia night, but that wasn't the vibe we were going for that night). I was disappointed to find (unlike I was expecting) you could get a meat board, or a cheese board, but had no control over what was on them, and if you wanted meat and cheese you had to order two boards! It was fine, but since we weren't playing trivia, we were relegated to the side room. The wine and beer selection looked good, but didn't partake. I've heard from friends who have been back, that they may have done away with the charcuterie altogether.

    Cheese board
    Fernando R.

    Great bar with a local atmosphere. A locals place to go for a nice cup of wine and some great selection on craft beers. Prices are reasonable and they always have specials. Beers as low as $2 and wines selections as low a $5. Cheese boards are fantastic. Fresh and full of flavor. They have several selections to choose from and no matter the choice you will be happy with it. They also have a couple of panini sandwiches that go great with the beverage of your choice. A definite place for a nice date night or if you want to hang with friends. The also have a nice board game selection that will keep you entertained for hours. Staff is fun and they have a great music selection always playing.

    old fashioned
    Bianca A.

    I love the Royal Room and have only grown to appreciate it more since the pandemic started. This is one of only a very few places that I consider safe to enjoy indoors. The owner has strict seating arrangements and everything is very clean. Aside from that it is a comfortable place to hang out at and even better their drinks are awesome! They have a few rotating beers on tap and a large fridge of a wide variety of canned beers. They also change up their cocktail menu but I tend to stick to their old fashioned because it's so good. Easily one of my favorite bars in the downtown area.

    I came here on the recommendation of a friend, and it did not disappoint. Has a great vibe and atmosphere. They had some great wines on tap. This place has some fun decor as well. I have heard the food is good there but I haven't had the pleasure of trying it. Update: came here again on a Saturday afternoon and ate; the food was quite tasty. We had the meat/cheese board and it's reasonably priced and high quality. We also had the Italian sandwich and I loved the bread. It came with well seasoned Italian meats and flavorful mozzarella. This is a great option for a light dinner/happy hour. None of the food was too heavy. Good portions too.

    Bartender has no idea how to do his job, couldn't make simple drinks. Also doesn't show any attention to you if your not a regular.

    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.

    Love, love, LOVE this space on 4th Ave in Downtown Tucson!!…read more I was recently in town visiting family and noticed it while having a weekend night out for some drinks on Fourth Avenue - I'm not sure how new it is but I hasn't seen it before and thought it looked pretty cool! Its Boxyard name comes from the various shipping containers that make up most of the buildings inside. It reminded me of Container Park in Las Vegas and similar places in Downtown Austin. I'm very excited that Tucson has a place like this now too!! We were there on a Saturday night, so it was very crowded with a DJ playing in the back, yet it was still open and spacious enough to have plenty of breathing room. I also loved how there's more than one bar for grabbing drinks at and a few food options - we got a couple of smash burgers from Daddyburger inside and they were GREAT!! Took a little while to be ready but it was a busy Saturday night, so understandable. Definitely make sure to add the arugula and pickles to it - loved the extra textures and crunch. The burger hit the spot and the fries were solid McDonald's type fries. Other food options inside included a Mexican food/burrito spot with several vegan options and also a sandwiches/snacks thing! We ended up just eating, drinking, and dancing to the music the whole night there. It was a blast!! It also looked like a great spot for just hanging out or getting some food whenever during the day or the week. I highly recommend checking it out if you're in the area!
