Ermano's is one of my top places to order a bunch of appetizers and late night grub. And it's my favorite wine bar in Tucson. Full disclosure, I haven't tried a main entree. Only because they offer a wide range of apps and I have yet to be disappointed. Usually I'm not one to deviate from a favorite menu item but I don't have to worry because all of their apps are good for different reasons. My favorite is a toss up between the avo fries and nachos. The fries are perfectly crusted with panko bread crumbs. The pico de gallo and avocado salsa verde are on point in the nachos. You can have the nachos vegetarian style or choose between chicken, ground beef, or chorizo beef. Both the fries and nachos offer a generous amount of food to hold down your alcohol of choice. Speaking of alcohol, I've only tried their wine. Whether you prefer white or red wine, you can't go wrong. The chardonnay is not overly dry or sweet. It's medium bodied with moderate acidity. For the reds, my favorites are the Malbec and syrah. I only wish they offered a mead! read more

Ermanos is definitely a great addition to 4th Ave as it provides a definite change of scenery and atmosphere. It makes for a great spot to grab a drink, watch a game or listen to live music. The beer selection seems to be the draw here. They've got quite the list and beer flights are an option too! The wine selection is a fair. Ermanos is especially great because it offer three different seating areas- main dining and bar, the back room which has another bar, board games and some community seating and lastly, the patio. The space is definitely inviting the staff are friendly. The food is a-ok. I'm not sure I've had anything yet that I am dying to go back for. The offerings are your standard New American menu items- burger, deviled eggs, etc. I like this place for casual night out. read more

Been to this place twice with my husband. Really enjoy though food and drink selection. We've tried the ceviche and elote appetizers. The ceviche portion was small compared to the mound of chips it was served with. We also had a hard time finding shrimp in the mix. It needed to be all mixed together (Mayo, avocado and chili seasoning) to bring some flavor. All in all in was meh. Instead opt for the elote. Generous portion with great flavor. I really felt like I was eating a roasted street corn, without the mess. For entrees we've had the steak and lobster roll. The lobster roll has amazing flavor! But eat it quick! Once it cools down, the butter congeals a bit and gives it a coating feeling in your mouth. It's served with a tangy vinegar dressed coke slaw and shoestring fries. The remoulade it's served with is amazing as well. The steak comes with herb seasoned mashed potatoes, balsamic Brussels sprouts and compound butter. It was cooked to perfection and al the components of the plate went well together. read more

I recently held a networking event for a 30 person group in the tasting room at Ermanos and it was a great success. Mark was very helpful during event planning, and communicated frequently over email. The event took place from 5 - 8 pm on a Thursday, so we had a bar minimum to satisfy. The staff was very attentive to our group, and the two bartenders working our room were on top of things and ensured everyone had food and drink. The beer selection is fantastic - which was never an issue. I am happy to report that the food has improved since I was there last, which is great news. Ermanos is finding its place in Tucson, and the tasting room in the back is great for hosting events. The beer is delicious, the food has improved, and the service is excellent. read more

Always a good experience here. The food is amazing and the service is good. I am crossing my fingers that they put the bread pudding back on the menu. I don't know why it was taken off but we drove 30 minutes there to get it. read more

I have waited and waited to write this review, to make sure I was seeing the whole picture. The picture is up to snuff, I like the vibe, the space, the lighting, the seating, all of it. It took a while for the food and the service to arrive at the port, but they are there now. I have been very happy with the burger and fries, they have been toasting the bun to perfection (some places never master that) and burger itself is a juicy zestful delight. The Mac and Cheese with bacon extra spicy hits my inner primal appetition. Not being a drinker notable food and atmosphere are a big deal. This place has it in spades. read more

Ermanos is a welcome addition to this side of 4th Avenue. Before Ermanos, this patch of pavement catered only to the college and "bro" crowd. If you wanted to have a nice beer or glass of wine with any sort of ambiance, establishments on Congress (or T&B on 7th Ave) were your only bets. Last Friday, my friends and I visited and tried a wide selection of beverages. I highly recommend their sour (currently #5 on their beer list.) I enjoyed the decor, music, quirky bar food, patio, and board games. We had a bunch of fun :) My new hangout spot for 2015. read more

What keeps me coming back? The on-point beer selection they have going on here. The past few times I've been, they have had different variations of my new favorite style of beers - Gose (gose-uh) and sour farmhouse style ales. So good, but so hard to find! Ermanos is a good place to come if you want to try some good/new/random beers and drinks. Wife and I have come here a couple of times for date-night and their happy hour is great also - last time I had the Zip Burger ($8 on happy hour) and it was 9/10 amazing. Definitely a good place to bring a date, or a couple friends to hang out in the back room or on the patio. This is one of my new favorite places downtown/on 4th, see ya next time! read more

I came here with some friends and was impressed by my whole experience. The wait staff was super attentive and was ready with suggestions and solutions to everything. Our table was wobbling so he resourcefully jumped on a solution to balance out the feet. He offered many tastings of the beers I was interested in and helped guide me to find exactly what I was in the mood for. They have a long list of beers, many of which I'd never had the chance to try, and so his expertise was welcomed. The overall ambiance was great; aged and salvaged woods are used in the tables and on the walls to create a classy, and authentic vibe. The music was a bit too loud for chatting across the table with my group but it'd be a great place for small groups or dates looking for great ambiance, service and beer on the weekend. read more

I've been passing this place for years and finally decided it was time to go. I honestly didn't have a problem with the food, it was the service. I had to practically beg for anyone to take my order, give me the check, etc. No one even came to me and asked if I was ready to order after 15 minutes. In their defense, it started getting busy around that 15 minute mark, but in mine, I truly shouldn't have had to wait that long anyways. Also, I'm sitting at the bar. Close. I didn't seat myself far away because I just wanted to grab a bite and go. Then the food took so long I had to, again, flag someone down to have them put it to-go, then AGAIN to get my check. I was completely ignored the whole time I was there. I've never felt so invisible and was really bummed out. I still tipped a little and just left after waiting over an hour and being ignored. Bummer.. read more

The food was not great at all I got chicken and waffles and it was nothing like I expected. There was some sort of buffalo sauce drizzled on the waffles and for the chicken they used chicken quarters which are not my favorite cut of the chicken. My friend tried a few of their mixed drinks but had to send them back one my one because they were not good she finally settled on a vodka cranberry and I played it safe with a glass of moscato. We got to sit outside and people watch which was nice but probably won't be returning. read more

Found a new beer joint in Tucson and it is called Ermanos! Found this place driving around and saw that they had a nice TV with Sunday Night Football. Walked up to the front door and looked at the menu and peeked in at the decor/vibe and we were sold. As I always say, I love a place with exposed brick, dim lighting and a chill vibe and this place definitely had all of that and then some. Grabbed a seat at the bar and chatted with the girl and guy behind the bar and found out the place has been open since April. I was impressed by the music he had playing on his iPad onto the sound system. He had some Erykah Badu, Tribe Called Quest and Maxwell going and I was feeling it. We grabbed some pretty good brews that they had on the electronic menu board behind the bar. I got the Ballast Point Victory at the Sea American Porter out of San Diego (10% ABV) and it was awesome. I got some other beer around the 10.5% mark after that one. The Zip Burger was very good as it was packed with flavor...it included burnt onions and "zip sauce". Good place and I imagine the local University of Arizona students will love this place this coming fall. read more

Last Sunday, we went out to lunch at Ermano's on 4th Avenue, after many years of intending to check it out. It really did live up to the hype that we've gotten from so many of our friends over the years. The beer tap selection is vast and no matter what style you like, there is something there for you. We ordered a beer and it was the end of the line, so they let us finish what came out and recommended a beer of similar style. It was refreshing to see staff that were all so familiar with the rotating list of beer offerings. Both myself and my husband ended up ordering burgers (he got the Old Pueblo Burger and I got the Zip Burger with gruyere) and we split a side of fries (FYI: All sides are á la carte). The food came out relatively fast, definitely within 15 minutes and was mouthwatering good. The only negative was that thr Old Pueblo Burger was probably too messy, with it being cooked at medium and all the sauce, since it fell apart within minutes and the bread became too soggy. Other than that, the food was excellent and I can say that eating Zip Burger was like being in Burger Nirvana. Definitely check this one out, especially if you want some unique on-tap beers! read more

Love this place!! Delicious and tasty food, so many great flavors of beer, and great service. Really cute place for a date night too! Our waiter was friendly and helpful when we were not sure what to order. We got our food quickly, the happy hour prices are reasonable, and everything we ate was so flavourful (esp. the hummus and Zip Burger). Can't wait to go back. read more

Used to love this place! Recently went for late night snacks, not too late mind you, it was just after 10pm. I called ahead to see if they were still serving food, "until 12:40am" I was told. When my friend and I got there we were completely ignored and felt that the staff clearly wished we hadn't come in. It was an incredibly unwelcoming atmosphere with aggressive music and unfriendly server. Nachos, which I have previously loved and craved were soupy and tasteless. Fries were so salty as to be inedible. At least the beer is good! Friend says "probably because they didn't make it." Sad to see a lack of care and community in a place I have previously enjoyed and supported. Won't be back. read more

The nachos were the best nachos i have ever had. Highly recommend. And check out the back, there is a super cool secluded bar back there!

This is a lovely spot for date-night or a night out with the girls. Among the meals I've had here, I recommend the Buttermilk Fried Chicken and Ahi Tuna Salad. Also there is something just amazing of what they put in their kale salad dressing as well - I couldn't figure out the flavor but very delicious. It can be packed and rowdy here on weekend nights so plan accordingly depending on what vibe you're going for. Like a lot of great places in Tucson, the crowd is a diverse mix of ages, styles and people so this is a nice place to bring in folks from out of town as well. read more

Another great and newer location for Tucson's modern dining and craft beer scene. Great selection of beers and even more in the back room, which gives this place different areas to enjoy spending time in. Limited but goood food menu! Great staff.. seem like a generally happy friendly bunch that enjoy working there. Come here to enjoy the beer, food, atmosphere, friendly staff, cool interior with reclaimed materials from the original structure, cool artwork, music (their playlists are good), live music, and I think they even have the occasional stand up comic. Cheers! read more

Ate here twice in the same week. Stumbled across it with a colleague and the service was awesome and the food delicious. Brought back a crew of 10 later in the week and once again the food and service did not disappoint. Highly recommend this place. Great beer, food and service. read more

In the three years since I moved back to Tucson, I've gone here a handful of times, because I like the space and you can't beat half-price bottles of actual decent wine, not garbage house reds or something. I've only eaten there once or twice, because the gluten-free options were, like, a salad and fries if you don't mind cross-contamination. But whatever, a really nice atmosphere for drinks in early or late evening. So because I've had good experiences, I decided to host my birthday party there. I emailed via the form on their website for their Tasting Room to get a reservation. No response. So a day later I emailed directly at the address listed on that same website. No response. So a few days later I decided to call, and the guy was like, "yep, we totally have that space free that evening." Boom! Birthday problem solved. He sounded a little judgey when I said that it was MY birthday, as if it's pathetic to plan your own birthday, when, like, how else do you plan a birthday, but whatever. So cool. I have a space for my birthday. I am turning 30 and I have really bad birthday karma where nobody ever shows up when I plan a party (*pities self*), so I am apprehensive about this whole venture, but I have done it and my introverted self begins to bank peopling energy so that I will have enough to go around at Hannah's 30th Birthday Low-key Blowout Where People Just Hang Out And There Are No Formal Activities. I was secretly very excited, even though being old is no longer as exciting as it was in my early twenties. So I arrive seven minutes late to my own party, but whatever, it's my birthday and I can do whatever tf I want, and the friends who are already there inform me that they don't have my reservation. ..... Birthday curse: confirmed. So that's neat, because I have invited a ton of people, and now we are filling up the space in the galley part of the room, which is most definitely a fire hazard, and I am doing my signature Jewish Lady Talking Loudly About The Injustice Of My Life™, which is a specialty I learned from my grandmother, and the manager (who was a pleasant young lady and seemed to sincerely want to fix things) was hustlin' and trying to casually shoo people out of the room I had reserved. So then we got our room and started ordering drinks, and all went well from then on and it is probably the best birthday experience I've had since my 18th, so all's well that ends well? The owner of Ermanos personally called me the next morning to apologize, and I don't really have any ill will except that he was like, "Yeah, I was reading your email and realized it was your thirtieth, and I was bummed that we didn't get the room ready for you," and I was a little like, "since when do you folks read your emails," but mostly I was like "thanks," and now I'm curious as to what they would have done to "get the room ready" had the person actually recorded my reservation. Maybe just put down a sign that said "reserved"; idk. Anyway. That was nice of him to take the time to call, and the manager also gave us an appetizer on the house. So yeah, overall still fine. tl;dr: Management and staff's ability to hustle and handle their ish on the spot: A- Red sangria: C-, watery and not worth it Sparkling sangria: A+, and real ginger!? awesome The fact that they've majorly leveled up their menu, expanded it, and added gluten-free bread: A Grilled cheese: B-, it said onion and I got none, but that may be due to ordering gluten-free, and maybe whatever concoction the onions are cooked in has gluten? My birthday: A+ The owner: A- The person who originally made my reservation when I called over the phone: F tl;dr but want to know about parties and reservations: never email, just call, and call again the morning of to confirm read more

This was my first time trying Ermanos, meeting a friend for a holiday lunch. The inside is much larger than I thought it would be. Trendy, I guess you could say "hipster" cool? My friend told me it was definitely a foodies hangout. So let's talk about the food. We started with the Sonoran Meat and Cheese Board. The stars of the show were the house bacon and the jalapeno jam. I'd kill for a whole plate of that bacon and a jar of that jam.The mozzarella chimichurri was underwhelming. Next, we ordered the pickled and fried cauliflower and the ahi tuna salad. The ahi tuna was seared well, rare in the middle, with great beet kimchi and carrot ginger ponzu. But, sadly, the cauliflower didn't come out. And we had to flag down a waiter after some time and remind him of the order. Still a good wait, but finally it came out with the comment, "the kitchen says sorry." Nothing more. No offer a free glass of wine, or let us take that off the bill or explanation of what happened. It really kind of felt like "we're so hip, we don't really care too much". We had to flag down wait staff to get a refill on an iced tea and another glass of wine. We had to find someone to take our payment. And we were there on a weekday at lunch, it wasn't very busy. I would gladly give this place five stars, but the laissez-faire attitude of the wait staff hurts this restaurant. Granted, when they did come over, they were polite. But they just didn't circle the room, check tables, do the things that make dining a great experience or makes you want to come back for more. read more

My first time here and they blew me away! Didn't know what to expect, but the place feels sophisticated and classy. I ordered the salmon and it was one of the best meals I've had in tucson. It was served with farro and cranberries, and altogether it was the perfect combination of sweet and savory. Good portion size, and I left feeling satisfied but not full or heavy. Afterwards we had the chocolate torte, which tastes a lot like chocolate soufflé. The texture was nothing like soufflé and it was very dense, but the whipped cream they top it with along with the fruits lightened it up. Love love love! read more

Ermanos does it right. Great beer selection, awesome food! My most recent time in, I found a few new items on the menu; one being the mushroom pot pie. That was definitely a delicious option! I just am so happy that they keep adding more vegetarian options. I wish I could've tried their updated mac&cheese. Last time I was there, it was underwhelming, which made me thrilled to see that they seemed to have updated the recipe. The best thing about Ermanos, though, is not the food or the spectacular beer selection, but the service. We went in the other day, called a couple hours ahead to see if we could bring a group of 12. Not an issue at all! On top of that, the man working with us (I wish I could remember his name... especially because he remembered all of ours!) was brilliant! He was quick to refill our drinks, and our food was out lightning fast! Just a wonderful experience, overall. The deduction of the star is solely for the fact that I was not thrilled with the mac & cheese last time. Given how delicious the description looked, I'll have to order it next time... and update this review! read more

Great atmosphere and service. Though it's nothing extraordinary, the food is always solid.

This is a class act beer bar on 4th Ave. Great selection of beers, with two bar areas for your beer drinking pleasure. Friendly and knowledgeable BT's, who provide service with a smile. Plenty of brews to choose from on tap or in bottles and cans. Good location right on 4th, and in front of Public Brewhouse, kind of like one stop shopping! This is definately worth a stop if you're on 4th. Great atmosphere, great beer selection, great service, and a brewery out back!!! Yes Please!!!! read more

We tried it for the first time tonight and everyone in our party was BLOWN AWAY!!!! Service & Food & Atmosphere & Cocktails all exceeded expectations!!! Cannot say enough good things about this truly scratch kitchen. We even got a visit to our table from the GM Collin, he was very knowledgeable and personable. Cannot say enough good things about this Tucson gem!! Will be back soon! read more

Visiting from San Francisco. What a great place where the venue is an absolute gem. Original brick and distressed feel where the food is definitely beyond bar-quality! Fantastic options for carnivores and vegetarians. Excellent draft selection and if wine is your poison the dedicated wine room is Uber cool!!! Great launch pad to walk around to Congress St and surrounds. Really recommend! read more

Right when I walked in, I knew I would enjoy their beer selection based on their tap list and bottle selection. They have excellent appetizers, we ultimately went with the Sonoran Meat & Cheese Board. Highly recommended and would definitely get again. For my main meal I went with the Zip Burger with cheddar and bacon. I don't see myself getting the burger again. There is some type of herb mixed in with the meat, couldn't tell if it was thyme, oregano, or something else. Just a bit overpowering and not my preferred taste. Be aware when ordering, the burger isn't the classic burger. Overall, excellent beer and apps. I just need to find a different main dish next time. read more

The lobster Mac n cheese & avocado fries are delicious. Drinks are great. Definitely a local fav.

One of my favorite bars that I've found in Tucson so far! This was my second time here and this time we came hungry. We ordered the FRIED AVOCADOS (delicious and not oily at all!), GRILLED CHEESE (the freshly shaved parmesan on top and onion mushroom jam was muy bueno :D), and ZIP BURGER (juicy medium rare heaven). Everything came out nice and hot; I may or may not have burned my tongue biting into the avocados. But that's not all, they also have 34 beers ON TAP, need I say more?! Loved the atmosphere - very hipster and relaxed. There's also a backroom called the Tasting room with a few board games and books available. When we came on a Thursday night they also had a live band! Nice place to chill with friends or bring a date. Happy Hour every day from open-6pm. (Next time I'm coming during HH for the $4 sangrias) read more

We came here tonight to catch up with a friend. Initially, we were intending on attending the wine tasting but ended up just eating and drinking at a table. They have an extensive craft beer and wine list! Very impressive. I ordered the Cabernet Sauvignon from Mendocino and it was superb. Very smooth with hints of vanilla, tobacco leaf, and berries. $11 for a glass. My boyfriend and I both ordered the zip burger. I added bacon ($2 add) and cheese ($1) with fries ($3 add) to the burger ($11). It was a great burger with a thick cut of smokey bacon with crisp lettuce and tomato. Was it worth $17? Absolutely not lol. What irks me is that they charged for every single add on. Bacon is understandable but for cheese and fries when the burger is already $11? Debatable. The ambiance here is intimate, however, and offers a great date night! The service was particularly slow, though, which was disappointing. The gentleman wasn't familiar with what was on the menu either. Perhaps he was new. I think this is a great spot, but I'll probably come back for HH since their prices are rather steep and stacking. Our bill was $55 with two burgers, one glass of wine and one beer. read more

This bar is just lovely! Ermano's has been on my list to visit since at least last June. We didn't make it in that trip, but I pushed for it this time, and we were so happy with our experience. We stopped in on a Monday around 2pm, and it was super quiet inside, and we received quick service. We sat in one of their comfy couch alcoves right in front of the tap room bar, allowing us to easily look at the sign showing the 24 beers on tap. I had previously checked out their online listing of current beers on tap, and honestly the fact that they had New Belgium's (Ben & Jerry's) Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Ale sold me. I also pre-selected the other beers I wanted to sample. Once we sat down, Adam, our bartender, came over to chat with us for a little, tell us a little bit about some beers on tap, and see what we'd like. He was an excellent bartender throughout our visit. I initially went with 4 beers to sample, and my two companions went with a single sample each. They had a great tap selection - unlike anything I'm really use to being from Utah. I went with: -Modern Time's Fruitland (Blood Orange and Hibiscus Gose) -New Belgium's Cookie Dough Ale -Funkwerk's Saison -Oskar Blues Death by Coconut I subsequently asked for a sample of a beer that was in the "Tasting Room", a room further back. Adam was very nice in assisting the pour and beer run for me, and that sample (Breakside's Passionfruit Sour) ended up being my favorite of the bunch. So delicious! Before we left, the owner came over to chat with us for a little. He and I talked about the Passionfruit Sour as well as some other sour beers on tap. He took interest from where we were from, and we talked about how long Ermano's has been in business (almost 2 years in April). As we were paying for our samples, Adam came over and asked how long we were in town, and proceeded to gift a can of Borderland's Citrana to us (me) to try, as it was obvious I tended towards the more sour beers. Great, unheard of service in Utah. Tucson, you spoil me. Overall, our experience at Ermano's was excellent. It is a place I'd love to visit in the night-life hours, and I'd love to sample the food (It looked like they had some yummy sounding vegetarian options!). At this point, it'll have to be on a future trip, but for sure I will be stopping in again. The ambiance is really classy, the lighting is intimate and the employees were awesome. The beer selection was fantastic, and I will really need to utilize the wine deals as well. This is a wonderful addition to the Tucson alcohol and bar life, and at the current time, is my favorite bar in town. read more

Very very pricey. I'm all for gastropubs, but their alcohol and menu seemed very pricey. We tried the elote appetizer and it was really good but the chips were almost fried too long. The menu seemed very pricey, especially when you have to buy your sides separately for a burger. I'm all for nice food and paying when it's worth it, but that place didn't really give me that vibe. Also, our server disappeared for a very long time, not to mention the fact that the place seemed pretty dead. read more
