Dog friendly patio
Connie G.

I had a late lunch here with my dog. The place has a dog-friendly patio that made me want to try this place out. It is not a big place. The front end is a horseshoe shaped sports bar. I sat outside on the west patio off Tucson Blvd. Service was prompt and my chicken sandwich came out hot within minutes and was brought to me by the friendly fry cook. He was more attentive toward me than my server, so kudos to him. I had a side salad with my sandwich and together it was a very filling meal. Price wasnt bad, either:$12 plus tax and $ 0.45 "maintenance fee" for using my credit card. I lucked out with a parking spot right by the patio.

Margarita

Came to Bob Dobbs had a margarita nice drink. Bartender was amazing her service was excellent.

The Connie Burger
Kannyn M.

Outdoor seating was great at night. TV playing football. Service was good. Nice staff. Waiter did the "I don't need to write it down" thing and messed up two minor things on our order. Just write it down for the kitchen. Otherwise food was good, nothing amazing. Food needed flavor added by me. Burger was cooked to my liking.

There is a reason that this place has been here for years. This classic dive has a total Cheers vibe. This means that people who come there are like family to each other. The Is your average bar fair but who doesn't love a greasy Burger My husband and I shared the slider burgers and the fried zucchini. The ciders were three bite-sized burgers with a pickle and cheese. They were tasty. The fries were a little overdone, but some people like it like that. The fried zucchini was a little too breafy for my taste, but it came out hot hit the spot, so not really complaining.

Menu & drink selection
Licett H.

Met up with a couple of my girlfriends as one of them recommended the place. Food and drinks were pretty good, definitely will visit again.

Chicken Fingers
Donald C.

All the free raw chicken you can eat! Ate here with a few friends, there was plenty to chose from to comp for feeding me raw chicken. When I pointed the chicken out to the cook and asked "does this look raw to you"? They replied, it's a new kind of dark chicken",lol!!! Luckily I did not get sick. Bob Dobbs don't be cheap, you could have avoided this review.

Watching The game!
Amanda F.

This iconic bar was our hangout in graduate school. So for my reunion, I had to come back and visit while I was in town. I was surprised to see the same manager is working here! Wow! They have since changed their ceiling tiles. They're so clean and new. They also added more TVs and karaoke on Saturday nights. I was happy they have a game day menu for food as we were in the mood for some snacks. I ordered the pulled pork sandwich w fries and the fried zucchini. Everything was gobbled up! So good. We ordered shots and beers and cocktails. Service was great. Prices are good. Karaoke is free. Watched the end of the U of A football game. Such a good time. Outdoor seating available. Indoor seating can get full fast. Bathrooms could use an upgrade and need to be stocked more often. There was no soap! They're also unisex, so beware. Parking is on the street but you should get a ride instead of drive. Have fun!

It's OK for local neighborhood bar. The wings here are better than the place across the street. The wings are well cooked and meet. The beer selection is good, but not great. Nice patio to sit out on. Unfortunately a forgettable place, but glad to see a local place doing well for itself. The service was passable.

Best French Dip in town hands down. I'd take a picture but I ate it too fast lol Staff is super duper friendly as well! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!

Baja Burger with onions rings
Vanessa H.

Classic hole in the wall. This place really hit the spot for what we wanted tonight though. We had just finished up rock climbing indoors down the street and needed something low key with good burgers and decent taps. This place has about 8 beers on tap but it was fine since they offer good beers (dragoon is nice and I enjoyed the Sierra Nevada pilsner). This place offers happy hour every day. Brownie points although we had just missed it. The menu consists of bar food and sandwiches. I went with the Baja Burger, which consisted of pepper jack, avocado, Baja sauce with my chosen side of onion rings. Boyfriend did the same but with a side of fries. The burgers were great! Cooked to order and just really hit the spot. I really liked the fries - they were salty and crispy. The Baja sauce has a nice bite to it which was a nice addition to the burger. Perhaps we will frequent this place after our climbing endeavors more often. Cool, laid back vibe with good bar food.

We discovered Miramonte after a trip to Whole Foods and decided to give it a try. I'm so glad we…read moredid! The food was outstanding. I had the salmon, and my husband ordered the ribs; both were absolutely delicious. The cocktails were expertly crafted, and they also have an extensive wine list with plenty of great options. The real star, though, is the cornbread appetizer. I've never had anything quite like it. It arrives in a large cast-iron skillet with more than enough to take home. We reheated the leftovers in the air fryer the next day, and it tasted just as amazing as it did in the restaurant. If you're looking for a memorable meal with excellent food, drinks, and service, Miramonte gets a big thumbs up from us!

Went to the bar at 10 pm , given the location closes at 11 and we were very poorly tended too,…read morealmost ignored. The bar was very cold. The Tv was playing a movie with Nazi symbols . I was trying so hard to like this place. The only semi save to this place was the older gentleman bartender but other than that ..... i was shocked that both drinks were charged even though we only drank one and express the reason why was due to taste they offered to remake one drink and not the other. Kinda disappointing for $30 no experience, bad taste and wasted time. they serve espresso martinis with a side of more drink but it clearly just equals a barley made drink.

We stopped in on a Tuesday afternoon, not knowing that Social Hour (3-6pm) had started. We had our…read moredog with us so we needed to stay on the patio.T We each had a beer. I had my blood orange wheat and he had a milk stout. We sat on a comfy couch next to a large Bouganvilla shrub with nesting birds. Those birds kept buzzing over us. I enjoyed watching them. The inside is nicely decorated with solid wood tables and an extensive whiskey bar. The beer and wine list is also impressive. Service and ambiance were both very good, but the only thing I wish the place offered were misters for outside seating. We were the only ones outside and we are an older couple, so it wasn't economical to have any misters running.

Our first time at this place on a Friday night. Since they had a band playing I reserved the couch…read moreoutside on their lovely patio. The reservation was at 7 pm but when we arrived there was no available couch for us and the hostess didn't know what to do with us. Luckily we spotted some friends seated at one of the couches so we joined them. We ordered our food, enjoyed the band and the food. Even though it was extremely busy the waitstaff did an incredible job and the food arrived hot and quite delicious. Definitely would recommend the cheeseburger and the chicken fingers. Meanwhile I asked to speak to the manager so I could get a refund ( to reserve a couch I had to pay around $40). They refused to refund. I called them the next day and asked for a manager and he was happy to process a refund.

Staff is warm, welcoming and professional. I can't get over the Masa Cake! I love how the ingredients here are kept simple but are bursting with flavor. I have experienced farm to table menus before that were largely dependent on the high quality ingredients as a selling point-but they lacked character and flavor. That is not the case here. 5 points is filled with talent. I really think that 5 points is one of the places to showcase Tucson food.

What I love most is how versatile it is. Whether you're looking for breakfast, lunch, dinner, drinks, or just a place to hang out, it somehow does it all while still feeling cozy and welcoming. The atmosphere is warm and relaxed but still feels refined and thoughtfully curated. One of our favorites is the kale Caesar salad. Add a protein and it becomes the perfect meal. They also have a great cocktail selection, making it an easy happy hour choice. I've visited in the morning for coffee and had an equally great experience. The market portion is filled with specialty foods, local products, and unique finds that are fun to browse while you wait for a drink or table. A true Tucson gem and a place we'll continue coming back to whenever we're in town.
