    They have so many flavors of vodkas here. I came here for happy hour and was impressed with the $4 drink selections. My waitress recommended a mule with pumpkin flavored vodka and let me say it was awesome. I also ordered the sliders off the mini menu. They were just the right size for a little something while drinking. I loved how they decorated for Halloween too. Super casual but really fun spot on Congress.

    We've enjoyed this restaurant a few times. We had made a reservation for our group, so got seated right away. It was a lively crowd there that night! Our server was fun and great at her job. I ordered some bacon rangoon, which was hot and crunchy. The others in our group got their main dishes a few minutes before my Mediterranean salad was brought to me, which was a bit odd. The salad was good, although the salmon was slightly overcooked and a little dry. My husband got the fish and shrimp meal, which he always enjoys. They have a decent happy hour, although the food part is basically the same price as the regular menu, just smaller portions at an equivalent price.

    Stopped in for a drink while we waited for our pizza from Empire next door. Love the vibe! They have at least 30 infused vodkas. We tried jalapeno and roasted garlic. Very jalepenoey and garlicky. Cant wait to go back for a bloody Mary. The hostess greeted us with a smile and the bartender gave amazing service. They have duck sliders on the menu.

    Decent food for a really good price. Cheap drinks and food is reasonably priced. Service was great. Inside was dark, but worked for us! I would come back here.

    What more can you ask for. Delicious drinks for less than a beer. Yes, less than a beer. $5 and $6 drinks. How do you beat that and also a beautiful location! I'm at the new Shot Time location right across from Hotel Congress and I plan to be back. The staff are exceptional. Support a local business. It's a win-win and a no brainer.

    This restaurant was a distinct disappointment! We went here for lunch, and my Gyro was overladen with Iceberg Lettuce, and Sweet Potato Waffle Fries were charred and overcooked. Diane liked the shrimp, but not the fish that accompanied it, which looked like a previously frozen Fish Stick. Besides the food lacking in quality, service was too laid back.

    Ultimate Bloody Mary with bacon and lime infused vodkas $4 on weekends

    My husband and I were downtown on a Sunday afternoon and hadn't had lunch yet so we were glad to stumble onto Elliott's. It's a sports bar that happens to be one of the few places downtown where you can get food on the weekend. Service and atmosphere here are friendly with a welcoming vibe. We ordered the London Calling and the duck sliders. Both were decent. The buns on the sliders were pillowy and the duck was tender but I would have liked to have a more layered flavor profile. And while I've had better cod filets these had a good crunch and were satisfying. The coleslaw was pretty bland though, but the Parmesan garlic fries were good. They have a large array of house infused vodkas and we requested the bacon and lime flavors in our Ultimate Bloody Mary. We couldn't really taste the bacon and the drink was a bit too salty but they did not skimp on the vodka! Overall a solid place and would give it another try.

    Stuffed bacon and cream cheese wontons were delish!

    Stopped in for happy hour and we loved it! Tried a bunch of appetizers, from the bacon and cream cheese stuffed wontons, jalapeño poppers, to chocolate covered bacon, mozzarella "sticks" and duck sliders. Everything, from the service to the laid back atmosphere, was excellent! The drinks were all fantastic too. I had a bloody Mary with their infused horseradish vodka, and garlic vodka too. My friend got a couple margaritas. I also tried something on ice that tasted like an oatmeal cookie. Very creamy and delicious. My new favorite happy hour spot!

    My friend and I went to Elliot's for happy hour and it did not disappoint! We loved all the happy hour food items and my favorite drink was the jalapeño margarita! yummy. Loved the downtown location and super fun bar. The service was fast and friendly. We'll definitely be back!

    Infused vodka choices.

    Was vacationing in Tucson and needed some dinner late one night. Elliott's fit the bill. We were greeted promptly by a friendly waitress and picked a high top that gave us a view of the bar. Since I'm a vodka drinker I was happily surprised to see all the different vodka infusions. I tried the cucumber one and it was great. Out food was delicious and hit the spot. The vibe was good, the wait staff was nice and the bar was clean. What else do you need?

    London Calling
    Denise W.

    Definitely make a reservation as they get filled up fast. Saturday night dinner out before a show...the place was busy. Had a reservation and got seated immediately. I had the "Texas Caviar" Salad....and it was delicious. The menu does state on grilled romaine, but it wasn't. The dish was still good....the jalapeno ranch was perfect. Not too hot, but had a nice bite to it. The hubby got the London Calling, which is the fish & chips. He said it was good....fish were battered well, not too heavy....and the fries with parmesan were yummy. Yes, I stole a few. :) The place is loud....not a good date night place if you want to have a good conversation. Our waitress, Alana, was very friendly and on top of things. Thank you, Alana!

    What a great place to go. Hugh, is probably one of the best men I've ever met? He is literally a…read moresubstantial bartender, and works so incredibly hard, he takes Pride in what he does. I think the monkey bar, serves the most incredible PBR, maybe even in the world? ha, I got a chilled glass even! I think when you look at any map of Tucson, it needs to have a monkey bar on it. Because the monkey bar is definitely part of Tucson worth seeing. And I must go, tonight.

    I have been sitting on this review for a bit because I actually hate leaving bad reviews. But maybe…read morethis will help save someone else the trouble/disappointment of going to this bar.. We came here because we wanted to play pool one night and Pockets had a tournament going on. We were originally 3 out of the 5 people in the bar (one bartender and one other dude who may or may not have worked there- but kept going into the back room). It was SO quiet which I found oddly unsettling lol. The only way there would be any sound other than our voices was to pay money to play music ourselves and I dropped way too much money to keep it going while we were there. Next, the bartender was odd to us...In some weirdly pretentious way. To be fair, we all do look young and people tend to treat us as such when we go out. However, he was so condescending about everything. I asked for a drink and he corrected me on how to order it-but not in a helpful way? More like he was annoyed with me. I turned 21 almost 15 years ago. I order the same drinks and have never been told that a bartender doesn't understand what I'm asking for- even if I don't use the proper bartending terminology. My roommate asked for a vodka redbull and the bartender made some weird comment about this not being one of our "hipster bars" like ??? I drink vodka red bulls in literal biker bars. We prefer smaller, low-key bars. It was such a strange and judgmental thing to say. He basically talked to US as if we thought we were too good for that place? Idk it's really hard to explain. But it left a horrible taste in our mouths. A couple came in a while before we left and seemed to be friends of the bartender- which somehow made the vibe even more uncomfortable. It's as if they all wanted us to leave. It's so weird to make your literal ONLY paying patrons feel so awkward and unwelcome. Dude needs a serious attitude adjustment. The a-hole bartender theme is out dated. That's just bad business. It's one thing to be busy and short with people when you're serving a full bar; that's usually expected, but you don't have to be a jerk to the only three people in the place lol.

The service is good the chairs are comfortable and they can have some really fun music. The food is great and they have happy hour prices early. This area was amazing back when I was a little kid, it's the missed opportunity that the people of Tucson abandoned. Most of the old hotels and motels are gone and the area has been brought out by gem show people. I'm glad they took care of this place and it's a little bit of old nostalgia of Tucson.

Ambiance/Cleanliness- Loved it!! Dimly lit, true lounge with great decor. It's a little like upscale dive bar meets strip club meets The Peppermill Lounge in Las Vegas, but its own vibe. Clean where it needs to be. 4 stars Service-Hanna was the BEST, taking time to listen to food/drink requests and make solid, helpful recommendations. Circled back a couple times to check status. 5 stars Food-Inconsistent. Devils on Horseback bacon wrapped dates were fire, perfect crunch on bacon. Coconut shrimp needed to be butterflied. Mac n Cheese was wonderful, pulled pork on top needed spice. The patty melt patty was inexplicably rubbery. Nutty buddy cheesecake was perfect. 3 stars Will go again. They have AYCE spaghetti on Mondays.
