One fateful night in Tucson, we stumbled upon the Unicorn Zebra. We had never heard of this place…read morebut were curious so we went in. We were greeted by a giant statue of a unicorn zebra and of course took a selfie. We then went to the bar area and absolutely loved the dark speakeasy vibes. Burk, the handsome man with a shiny head, was at the bar. He handed us a drink menu that contained fun drink names like Death of a Unicorn. The drinks tasted good and had a lovely presentation. Mine even came in a zebra mug. We also learned that this bar has both an upstairs and downstairs area. We enjoyed a couple of drinks and headed home. This place left such an impression that we have been back two times since. On another occasion we had Nate the bartender. He had a lovely personality and accommodated all of the guests that came in near closing. We enjoyed Santa's Banana Hammock and Unicorn Ski Accident. I would definitely recommend this hidden gem. I look forward to seeing where this place goes. It has a ton of potential for special events with the basement area. P.s. It's also a boutique hotel. You could always book a room and enjoy dreams downstairs without having to drive

Love, love, LOVE this space on 4th Ave in Downtown Tucson!!…read more I was recently in town visiting family and noticed it while having a weekend night out for some drinks on Fourth Avenue - I'm not sure how new it is but I hasn't seen it before and thought it looked pretty cool! Its Boxyard name comes from the various shipping containers that make up most of the buildings inside. It reminded me of Container Park in Las Vegas and similar places in Downtown Austin. I'm very excited that Tucson has a place like this now too!! We were there on a Saturday night, so it was very crowded with a DJ playing in the back, yet it was still open and spacious enough to have plenty of breathing room. I also loved how there's more than one bar for grabbing drinks at and a few food options - we got a couple of smash burgers from Daddyburger inside and they were GREAT!! Took a little while to be ready but it was a busy Saturday night, so understandable. Definitely make sure to add the arugula and pickles to it - loved the extra textures and crunch. The burger hit the spot and the fries were solid McDonald's type fries. Other food options inside included a Mexican food/burrito spot with several vegan options and also a sandwiches/snacks thing! We ended up just eating, drinking, and dancing to the music the whole night there. It was a blast!! It also looked like a great spot for just hanging out or getting some food whenever during the day or the week. I highly recommend checking it out if you're in the area!

We ordered a higher end bottle as a gift. Our server-bartender , Sara, was sensational! She chatted about the specific bottle we chose, shared a bit about the business, and helped us pick a charcuterie board to share! The atmosphere has a quirky-elegant, creative vibe, celebrating local artists with the paintings and ceramics for sale. As an artist myself, I especially loved the large mural encompassing the entire space! The snack choices were perfect! The fig jam, cheeses, and warm baguette really hit the spot and paired well with the wine! Our friends had a blast! We are really looking forward to the next celebration there!

The place was crowded but the service didn't improve even after the place emptied out. The only reason we stayed is because we were old friends who hadn't seen each other for a long time and were getting caught up. Vibe was good, and it was nice that they had a two person ensemble playing sax & keyboard, but their service is lacking. I hope they get some help, they would sell more drinks and make more to stay in business.

This is the kind of place that understands atmosphere…read more The lighting inside is intentionally dark -- deep red tones, warm amber fixtures, candlelight on the tables. It feels intimate, almost cinematic. You're not walking into a bright sports bar; you're stepping into a moody, low-lit cocktail lounge built for conversation and slow evenings. The space has character: exposed wood beams, a long bar lined with bottles, soft pools of light over booths, and a relaxed, unhurried energy. It feels tucked away, which adds to the appeal. And while the lighting sets the mood, the drinks are what make it worth staying. Well-crafted, balanced, and clearly made by bartenders who take pride in their work. Strong without being sloppy. Creative without trying too hard. If you appreciate a dim, intimate setting and serious cocktails, The Owl Club delivers. It's the kind of place you settle into -- and don't rush out of.

Nice hangout spot with a cute lounge downstairs, but more notably, an eventful rooftop club space…read more What I love: Catching entertainment upstairs, especially during the day. When it's not too hot out (and lets be honest, I persevere even in the summer) I've really enjoyed watching drag shows, or even stumbling onto daytime dance parties. You can try coming here late at night, but it's a totally difference scene and a really long line. Still fun! What I like: I like the idea of having an actual brunch here, even though I haven't tried the food yet. I'm just glad it's an option here. What needs work: Don't bother getting cocktails, just keep it simple.
