Expansive indoor and outdoor space to hangout was a huge plus! Dog friendly patio. Great chill ambiance for getting together with friends or passing thru for a drink. I enjoyed the beers I tried. Yummy stout here! Service was average but the environment put this place over the top :) read more

Borderlands Brewing - Breweries Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

This is a very fun taproom! We visited back in February and it was packed as we came on a day when there was a brewery crawl in town, but service was still great and it wasn't crazy loud as there's tons of areas to sit inside and outside; this is actually one of the largest breweries we've ever been too and it was nice to have so many seating choices. The drinks were great and they make a very good IPA. We didn't stay long as we stopped in before dinner, but we really enjoyed coming here and would 100% stop in again on our next trip to Tucson. read more

I just wanted to hop on here and say that I love this place! I have been to various events here, and also just stopped in for a casual drink. I always have good , friendly and fast service. I love the indoor/ outdoor atmosphere.. even with the train sounds it's very charming. It really is a great "Tucson" place. Also great drinks! I love the margarita slushy things that they do.. especially with the tajin rim! Great beer, clean bathrooms and even some parking! Definitely a great place to check out if you are downtown! read more

Lovely large indoor space with AC and beautiful patio with misters and often live music. They have a variety of types of drinks on tap and some no alcoholic options. Love their discounts on Wednesdays when you bring your dog, and the Saturday morning yoga they used to offer! read more

Borderlands Brewing - Mango wheat beer - Breweries Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

Great beer choices (collabs too) plus wine, margarita, and NA beer in a beautiful location with the industrial factory brick look. The staff is super happy and it's just off Congress and on Toole Ave. Perfect spot if you want to grab a drink before heading to 191 Toole. They also have a very large front patio with pit fireplaces, plenty of seating, sun shades, and sometimes live music. When there isn't music, they have speakers outside where they play popular songs. Parking is a bit of a problem on a busy weekend but during daytime hours , I've found street parking or parked in a lot nearby. read more

Great beer selection on tap plus other options like wine and ciders. There is a food truck on the side. I got the carne asada tacos and they were very yummy! There is seating inside and outside. The outside court is very spacious and pretty. My only critique is that the bathrooms were not very clean. read more

Trivia on Fridays at 9pm! I'd say flavor is more 4.5/5, prices 3/5 and ambiance 3.5 thus the 4/5 stars rating. They offer a good variety of beers and cocktails on tap. They do offer some specials with out of town breweries on tap. What surprised me was the cost, which I'm not sure is because of an out of town brewery or just because prices are going up everywhere...so that's the major downside. We got two blueberry wheat beers and it cost us almost $20... They have a taco truck they work with and you have to order at the bar. I had their nachos and it is HUGE! Comes with a lot of meat (ground beef) and jalapeños. Downside is that I wish they used more melted cheese rather than nacho cheese, since it was super smothered and chips got soggy quick. They have a lot of space, both indoor and outdoor. Be warned though, it is BUSY FRIDAY nights due to trivia, so come before 8pm to beat the crowd. They host other events throughout the week, so check out their website. read more

A nice brewery with indoor and outdoor space. The string lights over the patio make for a great a nice nighttime ambience. There are heaters available outside for when it gets colder. They offer more than just beers. The prickly pear cider is my favorite. Trivia on Fridays! read more

We were exploring the murals downtown when we decided to stop by this place for a refresher. It was super hot outside. Nothing that a cold beer couldn't fix. It was midday, and there was only one other patron. We were given samples of some of the beer, but the One in a melon blonde was the star. It is a perfect summer beer with a hint of watermelon. I also tried the Noche dulce porter. The Porter was not heavy are overly sweet. They offer different size pours and flights I snacked on the shrimp tacos. They were delicious. They were more of a quesadilla. Great flavor. The order comes with three tacos. You order at the bar and pick up outside. They are pet friendly inside and out. They even have self served dog beer. They have inside and outside seating. The place is big with plenty of seating. The outside patio has shade. Parking is tough. There's only a few spots and since they were full when we arrived, I assume the other businesses share the spots. The barkeep working that day was friendly. She gave us great recommendations. The place has a very laid back atmosphere. The decor is fun. read more

Craving beer at 103° before eating sushi we happen upon borderlands brewing. It looks cute so we ordered outside. Bartender was very courteous and helped us pick the type of beer like., kind of cut inside, also sat on the couch and took a sip. Ice cold the way I like it. Well, I don't wanna say it was the worst beer and my wife's beer probably taste pretty identical , absolutely no taste whatsoever on the hazy IPA or the blonde. I mean, it was like drinking a glass of water. All I could say is hope it was the batch. Don't think we'll be going back. It is just too many other choices.. read more

3.5 stars. Nice brewery downtown. Tons of outdoor seating and loved the ambiance. Unfortunately, there was a private party setting up and we got kicked off the patio. Checked their website and social media ahead of time to see if any events were going on before heading there with a large group-- totally would have picked a different brewery if we knew we were going to get moved after 20 minutes. It might have been a blessing in disguise because there were a ton of kids running around and parkouring off the ramps and side of the neighboring building. Beers were fine, the horchata was the best. Tacos were also fine and the salsas were legit. read more

I hadn't been here in a while and stopped by for a little sip and bite. Wow - I'm glad I returned! Wonderful beertender let me try a few before settling in my mini-mug of brew, which paired marvelously with the very scrumptious ranchero taco. I could keep eating those... anyway they've always had a great space and good beer, and I'm happy to report that it's still a solid act. read more

I went here on a Friday evening before a comedy show with my husband and some family. We had a quick but enjoyable experience. We were able to sit as we pleased. They have an indoor and outdoor seating as well as more private-like seating that has pool tables. There's also video games and a couch area, as well as board games you can take back to your table. Of course they also have a bigger selection of beer on tap. I'm not big on beer but I tried a cider for the first time (it was a peach flavor) and I loved it! Though you order at the front counter, you pick up your food at the food truck on the side. It's a pretty cool set-up that's great for groups . I ordered three tacos (the ranchero, the taco Loco and another one I can't remember the name for). I liked the one with the bacon, most. I felt the one with the mushrooms with a little too chunky for my liking, but it was actually my husband's favorite. They have fun themed nights including a trivia night weekly it looked like. I think I'll be back to check that out! read more

I had to make a second visit to the RIver/Craycroft location of Borderland Brewing. My first visit was 5 star excellent. Tonight was even better. I had the Tacos Dorado and a Mexican style beer. What can I say but WOW! The tacos were crunchie, the filling excellent and the beer was terrific. If you live in the Catalina foothills this is a must stop place to visit. The atmosphere is casual, the employees are informative and helpful. You not only enjoy their food but have fun! Corn hole, pool and many more games if you wish. Please support these folks and this location, I want it to stay around! Thank you! read more

Forgive me Borderlands, it has been seven years since my last review! This is a weekly watering hole and great place to hang. And while Borderlands brews have stayed consistently delicious they have also expanded their offerings to include great bar food options including: Tacos, Tot-chos, Nachos. Lets get into beers my two favorites currently are the ever popular Noche Dulce and their Horchata Cream Ale. You can cmbine these two in a black and blonde fashion with something Borderlands folks call a Cass-Nasty. Try them separately or together either way its a winner. The bar food is traditional, rich and heavy fare. The tacos must be grilled in butter because they are straight decadent. The taco flight has 3 different tacos, share them with your table for safety. I also love getting the Tachos? think tater tot nachos, to split. Smothered and delicious these are a definite gut bomb and great to share. Borderlands also hosts BrewHaHa open mic comedy on Wednesday nights. So get some Brews and some Ha Has here. read more

Borderlands' downtown location has one of the best patios or beer gardens in Tucson and it's super dog friendly (inside and out!) I love their La Miche (A Citrana Gose-based Michelada with Borderlands' house mix) but the frozen margaritas are also excellent and there's a beer for every palate. Monday and Tuesday food is limited to (very tasty) Sonoran Dogs, but you can get tacos the rest of the week, which I highly recommend. My favorite is the taco flight which includes four different tacos (Carne asada, Barbacoa, Shrimp and Buffalo Chicken) and there's even a veggie option.) Service is always fast and friendly and on event and busy nights, there's usually an outdoor bar. This is the perfect spot for a casual night out with friends or even a larger event. There's plenty of seating and the vibe is always great. read more

I had dinner here recently. I ordered the Taco Flight ($18), which is four different tacos, though three of them include carne asada. They were good and very filling. The website gives the price as $15; they really ought to keep the website up to date when they raise prices. There was karaoke toward the end, so I sang a song before leaving. There is no table service; you order at a counter and pick up from a food truck outside. It's a decent place to sit and talk with friends in a casual atmosphere. I don't drink, so I can't comment on the beer. read more

Giving 4 stars to average out 3 stars for the food and 5 for the atmosphere. The patio is huge and great for groups. Now that it's cooler, it's a great spot to chill. I had the taco flight. They were out of shredded beef so we had 2 carne asada, 1 Buffalo chicken, and 1 shrimp taco. The tacos were delicious but there was very little filling inside. And there are no toppings. It's just meat and cheese. I asked for a side of cabbage and it was so small I didn't have enough for all the tacos. The prickly pear margarita was good but too sweet, and not enough tequila. I'll be back but wouldn't eat there again. read more

Of all the breweries in Tucson, this one has one of the most energizing patios for outdoor socializing. Combine that with a varied assortment of beer styles and you get a satisfying drinking experience. As one who prefers wheat-based beers, Borderlands delivers. I last stopped by on SuperBowl Sunday when business was slow but fast. I sat outside with with my two dogs and stopped by to rest a bit before walking back to my car parked 3.5 miles away on Silverlake Road. I was walking a section of the Loop and wanted to sip some wheat beers. This place delivered. Service was fast and efficient. Due to covid, customers are encouraged to drink outside. To enter the building, one will get their temperature read. You can order your beer from the touchless menus outside and then the server will get that for you. This keeps the inside safer for the workers. I saw at least four other dogs on the patio and all of them were well-behaved. I had the Prickly Pear Wheat, a housebeer, and the Public Brewhouse Hefeweizen, a guest beer. Both were very good. I also tasted a sweeter Raspberry Lime wheat ale. Beers are $6.44 a pint so drinking here can get expensive, but the ambiance is worth it. Mature trees shade the patio during the day, which come in handy during the hotter months . read more

If you have taste, as in taste buds, and actually know something good when you see it, this place is incredible. All I need to say is beer flight and taco flight! Like, come on. Yes, please!!! They have great beer, including several variations of their Toole Ave IPA which you will actually need to try all of them. But, you can not go wrong with any of their beer. Their tacos are amazing too, and really do recommend getting the flight so you can try them all. The place is huge with a lot of indoor and outdoor seating. So you can enjoy this place with a lot of people and big groups in general. Don't forget to bring your dog too. They have a tasty pup broth as well, so your dog can join in on the fun and enjoy something healthy and delicious. This place is hard to miss because it is right downtown where all the action is. If you are a local or someone just visiting for the weekend, you have to stop in and try some of Tucson's finest beer. read more

I am a big fan of hanging out at breweries, now that I have found Borderlands I may have found my new favorite brewery to spend a day! They have a pretty diverse array of type of beers - from IPAs to sours and they had a rotating cider on tap when we were there. We had a flight then had a pint, we were not disappointed! They have a food truck as well, the totchos were more than enough for the two of us and were delicious. read more

Most of you are going to come here for beer, because it's Borderlands BREWING, right? Well, I'm a contrarian at heart and thought "hmmm, what could go wrong ordering a margarita at a taproom?" Nothing friends, nothing could go wrong because these margaritas are house made and delicious. Better yet, they are large and a mere FIVE BUCKS. But wait, there's more! At happy hour, these tasty drinks are just THREE DOLLARS. Where else are you going to get a $3 margarita that won't make you go blind afterwards? Also, they've got food, friendly staff, a barbershop for some reason and a giant painting of Axl Rose. There's nothing you could do to make this place better, really. read more

Went here with my wife last night before a comedy show and shared some tacos and fries. The fries were good but the tacos I didn't like as much. This also could have been because my stomach was was messed up. We tried the Ranchero, the Barbados, and the carne asada taco loco. I only liked the carne asada one most. They had lots of beer on tap and lists of seating too. They even have inside/outside seating, games you can play and a couch area with video games. Cool spot to hang out. read more

I'm giving this place 5 stars because of our server Susie! Susie was amazing! She's our home girl! We are coming back and requesting Susie! Great low key place to hang with friends and grab a beer. Great selection but not overwhelming. If you're indecisive like me, order a flight of beers (and invite me). I ordered the horchata cream ale, la miche, strawberry cider, and the Toole Ave hazy IPA. Don't judge me but it was a tough call between the Ciders boy strawberry magic and the horchata cream ale. I ended up drinking the strawberry cider the rest of the night. We got a little hungry so we ordered carne asada tacos and tachos! Successful girls night. Xoxo, @megsthemarketer read more

The people were really nice and the beer was good. The patio is cute and a good selection of music. The aesthetic is ideal. The Wet Meat slop tacos are not good. Waited 30 minutes for open face cheese quesadillas with just wet sloppy Joe labeled into the middle. The veggie tacos were the same open face quesadilla with cold giardiniera that tasted like canned diced tomatoes. read more

Did not have any beers, as my wife does not drink, and I need to walk with "sticks." But did have their nachos, which was a total disappointment. Took a third of it back to our place but never ate it. Have had better at small grease-pits. Sorry but it was bland with no taste. My wife's words were that the entree was a waste of good ingredients for a nachos, that was only slightly better than nachos at a middle school cafeteria. I laughed at the low but true statement. Should have had the tacos. . . Oh, and be careful walking on the paths to and from the place, as it is very uneven. Tricky for those of us handicapped . . . and drunk(?) The building is a re-purposed ??? a remnant of old Tucson. read more

Awesome hole in the wall! Oh my delicious beer, my two favorite of the evening were the Imperial Churro and the imperial cider.
