Great place! Excellent beer selection and good wines for those of us who don't like beer. I would have given you 5 stars but for your problems with payment software. This you really have to fix soon. Love the zip burger w/ fries excellent cooked to my taste. I had friend from out of town so they liked it but for them it was an issue with payment system. Great service I thought in spite of software issues. I really hope you do well on 4th we do need a nice place like Ermanos serving good brews. read more

Ermanos Bar - Wine Bars Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

The food and atmosphere were ok. Best part was the beer selection. I'd be willing to go back and give it another try based on beer alone. The food is creative and there are several things that look good. There is potential here, but it missed the mark on my visit. read more

Similar to others, we experienced fair service with a good beer and wine selection and pretty good food too! Small unique menu and well cooked. I previously commented on hit and miss service. The owner quickly replied to me and acknowledged my feedback. He emphasized they are a family run business and strive for excellence. I appreciate that and will re-try because its a great atmosphere and fresh take in downtown. You should try too. read more

I haven't experienced more than the street tacos for happy hour. I've only been there two times. One for the tacos and once for the beer. Whoa NELLIE! They had this Imperial Stout that was damned good. Sadly, it's gone now and that's super depressing. I'm eager to go back and see what else might tickle my fancy. I now have two growlers from Ermanos one for a beer I know I'll like, and one for a beer I'm going to hope to like :o We'll be back. If not for the great selection of beer but for the ranch :D! I'll be writing something up on www.saturdaythrusunday.com very shortly. read more

I've only been here twice so I'm thin slicing a bit here, but this place sits, heels and barks like a cool bar. Which conjures up the same question every time I walk by: "why don't I go here more often?" Seizing the opportunity to actually walk in this time I was greeted to their 24 rotating taps and 100+ish bottle offerings. I found one unfamiliar beer worth trying and one old favorite, but not much else which seems low for a place with so many options. My general distaste for IPAs and sour beers working against me once again. Nothing against the bar though. Loads of brick and tile give off the yuppy vibe, which the clientele generally rises to. On the whole it's a pretty solid place to get a beer, or a glass of wine if you're into that (I'm not, my gf is), even if I leave wishing they offered more stouts and porters. read more

Good food and they have a great selection of beers. As far as calling it a wine bar it is a bit of a stretch I think: normal selection of wine you would find st any other restaurants that don't call themselves " wine bar ". I was expecting a longer list for a wine bar. read more

My family and I came here for my brothers graduation party, we reserved the back tasting room. Adam and a couple of his co workers were very helpful especially with our huge party. The food and the huge selection of beer and wine was amazing! We especially loved the duck egg rolls, the fig bruschetta, fried avocado, fried buttermilk chicken, and the burgers were very excellent!! Love this small atmosphere here and very cozy. Ask for Adam he is the best! read more

Came with a group of 6 with an age span of over 50 years (27 - 77) and everyone was happy! The German Chocolate Cake Porter was a hit with a few of us but there were plenty of other options to keep smiles on all faces (even the person who only wanted soda water). We got a variety of appetizers that quickly disappeared. The nachos, cauliflower and fries were stand-outs. The pastrami sandwich was good but seemed to be missing most of the star player: the pastrami. Service was friendly and relaxed. Can't wait to come back again next time we're in town. read more

Me and my husband came here a few days ago for a date night and it was soooo good! We got the ceviche and lobster roll and they were both colorful and delicious We definitely want to come back next time we're in Tucson read more

All of us were disappointed in the lack of service and very rude bartender last Friday Feb 10th. It was especially irritating considering we were there celebrating a birthday. There was no hostess & no tables or room at the bar. We headed to the back bar where there was a very pleasant, attractive bartender, cleanshaven with glasses, he was very courteous & he told us the rear room/bar was privately reserved. So, we asked about the patio & were told there is no service on the patio. We head back to the front & a table opens up but we were told to order at the bar. The front hipster bartender (tall, skinny man with glasses and hair on his face), looked our direction & gave us a dirty look as soon as we walked up. Why? We are 3 women in our 30s waiting quietly and patiently to order. He begrudgingly comes over to take our order & is frustrated the entire time, very rude, not pleasant. In fact, I nearly walked out at that single interaction. We asked normal questions yet he raised his voice at us, flailed his hands and frankly, seemed like he was on coke or steroids, based on his angry demeanor. Afterwards, my friend observed he continued his cranky, rude behavior to everyone else who approached the bar after us. We received our food & drinks which were fine. The only good thing I can say is that the exposed brick, rustic-industrial design is nice and the food was decent. The service however, was TERRIBLE. I do not recommend until they can regroup and get their act together, hire a hostess & waitstaff to provide actual customer service to ALL patrons. Doesn't take a genius to figure it out. And get rid of that awful bartender at the front bar. Bad customer service. read more

Sitting here on a Thursday evening and just enjoyed an awesome crayfish boil...their Thursday BBQ special for $12. Gotta say, its tasty, authentic and they do NOT scrimp on the crayfish. Its packed full with crayfish and spicy, yummy andouille sausage. Grab a $6 , your choice, wine to enjoy with it!! Excellent!! read more

Amazing food, service and atmosphere! Best spot in Tucson and they have a super cool cocktail lounge (Portal) in the back! :)

I'm so glad Ermano's opened! This has become one of my favorite spots in Tucson! The atmosphere is very LA-esque and is such a great place to meet up with friends for a drink. They have a great selection of beers and wines as well which are all reasonably priced. There is a good selection of beers on draught as well as canned/bottled. I always like getting the beer flight so you don't have to pick just one from their huge list! I haven't tried much of the food there yet but the fries are great! read more

CHOCOLATE BACON CHURROS and they tap rare kegs of beer almost monthly... Enough said. Bit pricy, but it prides itself as an upscale bar. I have had a great time every time I've been here. 24-30 beers on tap. At least 2-5 ultra rare beers. A great time! read more

My bf and I were roaming the area over labor day weekend looking for the perfect spot to grab a cocktail and a beer. We stumbled across this spot. The selection of craft beers and cocktails was amazing. The greeting of the bartender however, not so much. Being that we love to sit at the bar everywhere we go, we saw what appeared to be a fresh open spot for 2 right at the bar. We asked if anyone was sitting there. A lovely lady behind the bar said "no! Go ahead and take it, I'll be back to clean it." Another lady approaches shortly after and starts cleaning. Doesn't say anything other than " I need to clean this". She seems awfully peeved at this point that we are sitting at a dirty spot on the bar (mind you the only spot open for 2 and we were encouraged to sit). Once she's removed the mess she comes back to wipe the bar down. Instead of wiping away from us she aggressively wiped back and forth at us. I can't help but laugh at this point. I've bartended before, I know what it's like to be irritated with rude guests but I have NEVER wiped down a bar pushing the mess toward the guest. We were also encouraged to sit down from another person behind the bar! We haven't even ordered at this point. She comes back after getting rid of the towel and asks us our drink orders. My bf orders a beer I order "Kiss the Ring". Basically a Mezcal French 75. (I'll never order that again but to each their own) and we order nachos. Nachos were so good! The bartender checks on us maybe once. Doesn't offer us another cocktail or beer. We sit for a good 20 mins on empty without her looking our way. Eventually my bf decides we are done and we will go elsewhere for another drink. Since we can't get her service he has to go get her on the other side of the bar just to get the check. I'm sure this place is great but with service like that it's hard to say whether or not we would ever come back. Someone should teach that bartender how to at least wipe down a bar properly. If it was preferred that we got up so she could clean the bar, we would have been more than happy to! To wipe the previous guests crumbs on us was a bit passive aggressive or lacked common decency on her end and she shouldn't be serving or bartending. read more

My husband and I found this place wandering around. We have never been here in Tucson. The ambiance was great and the nachos were amazing! The half priced bottle of wine was also a plus. Staff was friendly and attentive. I would highly recommend this place! read more

I would definitely go back for happy hour. They have a large selection of craft beer and wine. Great pricing. Food was good. Good atmosphere, music was just at he right volume that u could hear yourself talking. read more

I am updating my review on ermanos after giving it a second shot. The food was delicious and the server was incredibly nice as well as the rest of the staff. The sweet and savory kale salad was among our favorite. I wish the food came out a little quicker but overall a very enjoyable experience! read more

Four stars because I love sitting on the couches and drinking delicious red wine, nibbling on yummy fries, and people watching out the window along 4th ave! Music is GREAT! All glasses of wine are $6 every day before 6:00 p.m.! I love it! Only four stars for two reasons: 1. I'm not crazy about the fact that there is no service at the couches, that's a little odd to me. 2. I would like to recommend going back to the original hummus recipe and sides. It used to be SO good! Now it's just a little weird. A lot of fun, I highly recommend it! read more

Nice atmosphere with some good dishes and decent collection of beers. We got a the fried chicken with jalapeno mac n cheese and kale on the side, the shrimp cerviche, and another full dish of mac n cheese with bacon. For drinks, we ordered 2 beers and the white sangria. The fried chicken and cerviche were good. The full size of mac n cheese was not the expected full size. It was barely enough for one person. And the drinks weren't memorable. The biggest off putting thing was our server who took our dishes away without asking multiple times. She didn't seem all there... read more

Great food and drinks, but service has always been a big deal for me if I'm dining in somewhere. This place has a lot of snooty people who don't seem to want to be working there. It was also a bit weird that I was charged $12 for a sandwich but no side - kind of pricy. The happy hour is good though, I'd recommend going for drinks but not the food. And don't expect the happiest people helping you out either. 3 stars for these guys! read more

$19 for a burger and fries.....GET REAL. The burger was good but nothing special. They don't include fries with it and gouge you if you order them. When I got the bill I thought it was a mistake. There is much better value to be found elsewhere. read more

We enjoyed this Tucson hangout spot! The environment is laid back and easy going, nice lighting and there are some games in the back to play while sharing some wine or waiting for your order to arrived. The wine we have had heard is great and the service was spot on. Had a really attentive waitress who actually chatted with us for a little instead of making us feel like we were just another table to wait on. We didn't care for the appetizer fries and our waitress actually got them taken off our tab which was really nice! We will definitely will go back! Cheers! read more

Ermanos Bar - Date night. Happy Hour fries and good wine. - Wine Bars Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

Great place with, great food, great service all-around enjoyable experience. You should try the ceviche

This place was incredible. Definitely a hoppin' place, but so worth it. A bit spendy, but again worth it. I looooved everything I tried. Great selection of beers and wines. They make a great sangria. Also food was great too- we had bbq. Perfect for a date night. The patio was a great place to be. Staff and service was fine. read more

Our server last night was Adam, "who tends not to give his name out", and our party of nine immediately understood why: When you order a flight at Ermanos, you're handed a curved plank of wood with a one inch strip of chalkboard laid across the edge, so you can write in the numbers of which beer you'd like to try from their large but fairly obvious selection. My brother, in an attempt to have a bit of fun, drew one star between each of his numbers to separate them. When our server Adam returned, he held up my brothers board and snottily remarked, "I'm sorry sir, and what exactly are the stars meant to denote?" When my brother replied "Sorry, those were just fun doodles", our server responded by angrily using his thumb to remove all four of these horrid little happy stars, then, moving on the the next board, remarked "Oh good, you did it on this one too." He followed that up by sarcastically pointing out that his seven looked more like a two. Not one ounce of fun in this guy, let alone patience. (Here's an idea, Ermanos: if you'd like your servers to be able to easily read the numbers that people write down (including my left-handed sibling), maybe try giving them normal sized chalk, instead of the sidewalk chalk that children use to make hopscotch squares.) Adam then proceeded to snap at everyone at the table when we politely tried to let him know which couples would go on which tab, stating "I don't really need to know whose with who, just where you're sitting, for billing purposes." So we all proceed to sit still and silent because the vibe he's put over the table is that of a disgruntled underpaid kindergarten teacher trying to get the children to go down for a nap. Their menu is vague. The description of their Farmers Soup quite literally just says "Seasonal Ingredients" which, roughly translated, means "one more question you'll have to ask your server every time you come here." Their grilled cheese, with supposedly five cheeses, tastes similar to the grilled cheese your mom made you as a kid with that cheap singles cheese, but bad, and the onion jam meant to accompany it is overpowering and not complimentary at all. I made the mistake of ordering a Cobb salad with no eggs, one of the few things on the menu with vaguely recognizable ingredients. I received a wedge of a head of lettuce, topped with the smallest dash of tomatoes and cucumbers, tortilla strips (tortilla strips???), and large pieces of chunky bacon covered in pink fat. After spending a nice chunk of time trying to chop the salad with the butter knife I was given, I gave up, and just as I was about to take a photo of the salad to accompany this review, the manager Brian appeared just in time to whisk it away, which was followed by "Can I buy you a drink?" and a sleazy grin. Brian, next time: "We're so sorry for your experience tonight, may we offer to get you a drink on the house?" is the more professional way of handling a bad situation with a customer. A beard and dimples won't get you everywhere. The final touch to the evening was not even the moment when a passing waiter dropped a full glass of water into our friends lap, but when Awesome Adam returned with our checks, almost all of which were incorrect, despite his insistence that we not attempt to help him or move or speak at all. When we, The Table of Nine Who Are Still Being Incredibly Polite and Patient, pointed out that our checks were incorrect, he took them back and proclaimed "Well this is just the worst!" and stomped off. When he returned, he handed them out with a "This is NOT ideal." I've never in my life left a restaurant without tipping a server, no matter how bad the experience. And then we met Adam. Kudos, Adam. Kudos. Not to worry though Ermanos. We will not be back. read more

We've only been at Ermanos for one visit but we'd definitely return. The atmosphere was hip, the service was attentive, and the food was good. We visited on a Saturday evening around 6 and were seated immediately, though that may change when UofA resumes? Regardless we'll plan to check out Ermanos again soon! Beer selection was good but not excellent, in my opinion. The wine selection was satisfactory. read more

Constantly impressed with the rotating menu, seasonal beer and food offerings in a handsome venue. Service is outstanding, have never had a bad experience in the many many visits I've made. If only more establishments cared like the Erman brothers. read more

One of the best recent additions to the Tucson food/drink scene. Spectacular beer selection, and good service. The Pueblo Vida beers are particularly amazing. I tried their Bavarian Hef and Pale Ale, and both were top quality. The shrimp ceviche was wonderful, and the kale salad is delicious. The fish and chips were good, but the fish seemed to lack flavor somewhat. Even the tartar sauce seemed a little bland, at least when I was there last week. There are some good happy hour deals, and very cool art! read more

Stopped by while in town for the gem shows for a drink after a long day of shopping. Great beer selection and drink options. The sparking sangria was super tasty! (Have to learn how to make ginger syrup at home!) Love the look and feel. Ordered an appetizer at the bar. Fries were tasty but took forever to come out of the kitchen. Maybe not the best spot if you're in a rush, but definitely worth a visit. read more

The food is absolutely fabulous. Even seemingly basic plates are brought up a notch (or several) by their inventive chef. Is definitely not typical bar food. Portions are very generous, especially for the price. The cocktails are fun, the beer list is extensive. Love this place and highly recommend. read more

Ermanos had the best craft beer, ciders and wine in all of Tucson period! The staff and owners are always nice, warm and inviting every single time I come here. Their food is to does for, and it is consistently good every single time I order. They also have many gluten-free options and have gluten-free bread and buns, so I can have burgers and sandwiches, which is totally awesome!! My favorite has been their grilled cheese on gluten-free bread, add chicken. They also make their own ketchup, kimchi in house, amongst many other food options. I love Ermanos and it is my go to bar and restaurant in Tucson Arizona, especially for their craft ciders, I love love love the options that I have to drink when I come. Oh also, they have a large screen at the main bar, where you can watch your favorite game on GameDay!! Thank you Ermanos for being here in Tucson, I really appreciate it!!! read more

Just had the best french fries and spicy chicken sandwich I've ever had. The wine, beer, and liquor selections are great! Service is excellent! I'm from out of state but frequently travel to the Tucson area....will definitely be back! read more

First time here and definitely won't be the last. Greeted immediately and told we could sit wherever we liked. We chose a table near the back and settled into the menu. Food choices are extremely limited here, but that's okay by me. Bf ordered a zip burger and I got fish n chips. Unlike me, I'd usually get something a little lighter but I was in the mood for pub fare. Food was seriously good. Burger was juicy and perfectly cooked. The sauce made it. My fish came out and I was a bit worried, it looked overdone. Waited a few minutes to let it cool, then gave it a shot. It was crispy, greasy perfection. They must have their oil practically scorching to get the outside so done and the inside still tender. Bf kept nibbling off my plate. It was GOOD. Fries and sauces were also great. They don't do cocktails here, but the beer and wine lists are extensive and varied. We decided to do tasting flights, he got a four beer taster and I chose four wines. Hit and miss on the first two rounds. Which is the point of tastings, in my opinion. :) My first wine, the Esser Chardonnay, was a delight. Buttery smooth and a touch smoky, best Chardonnay I've had in years. The middle two wines were unremarkable. A Viognier and a Zinfandel. Meh. Chose a moscato to finish, Elvio. Superb. It was exquisite. My SO's beer flight had a couple winners as well, the choklat oranj was good, as was the Knee Deep Twisted Barre. Finished with the Ciderboys Peach County. Fantastic. A great experience all around. read more

Ermanos Bar - Beer flight at Ermano's. - Wine Bars Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

See all

The wine and beer selection at Ermanos is fantastic. I feel that Ermanos strives to create a list that is both diverse and supportive to smaller breweries. I feel everybody had the ability to select and find something worth trying every time I'm here. The food is fairly limited, but I have indulged in their fries and kimchi. The fries are wonderful and are thin-cut, crispy, and addicting. The kimchi was ridiculously spicy. When I inquired about it with the waitress, she reported that Ermanos makes their own kimchi, so every batch is different. While I think it's pretty awesome that a place like this actually makes their own kimchi, I found it impossible to eat much of the kimchi at any time because it sincerely was over-spiced. Not sure how this was a practical level of spiciness for anybody. I am always shocked by how much money comes out of my debit card when I'm here and find it a bit overpriced, but enjoy this place nonetheless. The ambiance of this place is super laid back, chill, and sets the scene for a quiet and intimate gathering of friends with a higher level of class not seen anywhere else on 4th Avenue. It really gives off the vibe of something more appropriate with the downtown bars. This place is the kind of place you want to stay at for a longer period of time and does not bode well with a faster-paced "bar-hopping" crowd. Being out of college for several years, I prefer the quieter atmosphere of Ermanos over its more popular and loud peers on 4th ave. read more

LOTS of choice, new happy hour food offerings, nice blackberry cider. I can get all my fav SAN Diego beers here. Nice atmosphere, friendly enough staff, gets crowded on the weekends- no surprise. Good place. read more

Excellent selection of local and/or craft wine and beer with knowledgeable and friendly servers! Nice environment as well with changing selection of local art hanging on brick walls. I like the fact that the kitchen is semi open too and the bathroom clean, both always good signs! I tried the avocado fries for happy hour, which were yummy and unique - also a great price during that time. Someone sitting next to me at the bar had fried chicken dinner and thought it was fantastic. Most (?maybe all except avo fries) of their foods incorporate wine or beer of some sorts, which is pretty nifty. They have changed their menu (and chef) since I was there last year and I haven't tried anything else on the new menu so I can't comment. In regards to last year's meal here, I had the brussels sprouts with some kind of lemony sauce - wow, they were amazing, like world changing! Please bring those back!!! Unfortunately, I thought the burger had an off taste, too herbaceous (?not sure) and I felt like whatever it was covered up the taste of the high quality meat whereas simple salt and pepper would have been better especially with all the yummy toppings and bread it made a weird combo (?maybe a cherry sauce, can't recall exactly). Fries were just ok for Belgian style (double fried), but to be honest, I haven't found any better in AZ yet! I think this is mostly due to the fact that I will always and forever compare to my gold standard from Duck Fat in Portland, ME, which may not be fair, especially considering I never even liked fries before trying theirs, but to me others just aren't worth the calories like those. read more

I've been visiting Ermanos ever since they opened both with friends and on solo "me" dates and honestly I can't say enough good things about them. The owners are friendly and welcoming, the staff is top notch and always helpful..and the food ... the food is delicious! Want to try something new.... they are always creating something special and have unique taco Tuesdays and sandwiches of the day. I really could go on and on but the truth is in the experience so if you are on 4th ave and you are looking for a chill place to grab lunch, happy hour, dinner or even a late night snack you can't go wrong with Ermanos. read more

Came here for dinner on a Friday night. The atmosphere is really nice. The wine and beer are good... but the food is hit or miss and the menu is incomprehensible. We ordered pickles to share, and my husband ordered the burger. My husband really liked the burger (especially the onions on it), and said it might be the best burgers he'd had this year. I wasn't really into a lot of the stuff I saw on the menu, but the "PB+J - pork belly and fig jam" (that's the verbatim description from the menu) sounded like a really interesting sandwich. You'd think, in the absence of other descriptors, that this would be a sandwich with pork belly as the meat, and fig jam as a complementary sauce, since, in common parlance, a PB&J is a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, not say, a muskrat coated in peanut butter and stuffed with jam. Turns out it was ... croquettes with an unidentifiable gray meat inside, served on a jam smeared plate. The jam was delicious, and I was starving, so I ate them. Our waitress never actually came over to ask how things were, so when she cleared our plates I told her of our confusion over the PBJ, and to be fair, she very nicely comped them from the receipt. We asked about some of the other poorly described items on the menu ("Poutine - duck duck goose" does it have goose meat in it? No, it has gooseberries. WHO MADE THIS MENU?) The pickles we ordered didn't show up on our table or the bill, so that's a wash I guess. TLDR: it's a good bar, but the dinner food needs work. Ask your waitress what the item is before ordering it, or you may be surprised. read more
