Since La Esquina opened, we've been a handful of times and most recently, it was another outstanding experience. As you sit in their beautiful space you honestly feel like you're in Europe someone at a lovely, wine bar. All of the charcuterie boards are diverse and they offer such a great variety of wines. They also have an orange cocktail that is outstanding. The service is always excellent, and the staff has thorough wine knowledge. Also, they are incorporating live music! Our friend's are playing and we're really looking forward to it! For a classy vibe, delicious wine choices and dedicated snacks, head into this wine bar. read more

I'm giving it a four because it's beautiful on the inside, I went the 1st time when it was an event space, this is much nicer. They said they had a good selection of non alcoholic drinks, really they have a lot of sugary drinks and a couple of non alcoholic bears which are pretty pedestrian. It is very noisy because there is not one thing to absorb the noise in the place. It's very well suited for suburban women to feel like they are getting out for a glass of wine for a girls happy hour. I think it's best to go later in the evening for music and dancing. It's not a place to bring animals if that's what you want. If they upped their non alcoholic game I would like it better. read more

Came in and shared an Everything Plate with a friend it's a good sized snack to share. The items on the plate seemed to be curated as they went well together and were different than what comes at other places. The service was friendly. The place is louder than I would prefer if you're coming in to meet and chat with a friend. read more

This tapas/wine bar is coming up on its first year anniversary but it was my first visit. The ambiance is a very cool blend of history and modern bistro that offers small plates and lovely wines from the Iberian peninsula. Jamon, olives, cheeses, Barrio Bread!, marcona almonds. Delicious and they also feature local art and live music. I cannot say enough about the venue and the vibe. Situated a few short blocks from 4th Ave but worlds apart in experience. Chic, hip, cosy, everything you want in a good neighborhood bodega. We were greeted immediately by waitstaff, chef, and owner in short order. They offered a decent wine selection, Amari, cocktails and beer. The tapas were beautifully arranged and served with flair. Just a perfect late afternoon respite after a busy day. I urge you to drop by and enjoy the Spanish tapas ambiance done Tucson style. Salud! read more

Still loving this spot. They've done a lot of things right- from the decor and ambiance, to the wine list, and snack offerings. There is ample seating, from two tops to larger group tables. The wine list is super unique, the snacks are good, and the vibes are on point. read more

Beautiful cozy and well decorated bar. We came here because they had a wonderful Dj. playing on a Sunday afternoon. They have a good selection of tapas, wine, cider and beers. We ordered a charcuterie board that wasn't outstanding but good enough to enjoy with a beer. The manchego cheese side was very good. The service was a little slow but our waitress was very friendly and knowledgeable. Perfect place to enjoy a drink with friends or a date. read more

i love la esquina! they have a great wine and drink selection and the vibes in there are always great!

We came here Saturday night for drinks, and I love the ambiance--it's really cute. They were out of cava, so I tried the L'Acote rosé and a spritz with rosé instead of cava. I wasn't a fan of the rosé, but the spritz was better. That said, I'd definitely prefer it with cava. I really enjoyed the Castellano olives, corn nuts, and Marcona almonds. Since it was late, they weren't serving cheese, but I hope they offer it later at night in the future--along with bread. It would also be great if they had non-pork charcuterie options, like beef. I'll definitely be back! read more

Adorable, hip, Euro-chic spot in an older building not too far from the University. Offers beer, wine, and tapas with an Iberian flair (the owner is, indeed, from Spain). We ordered individual meats and cheeses plus wine and TWO servings of their amazing bread. Sadly, our second order of bread was delivered to the wrong table, returned to the kitchen, and eventually brought back to us cold ... but that was the only off note in a terrific pre-show happy hour! I would happily come back here regularly if I lived in Tucson. read more

La Esquina is a great escape from the dry desert with warm brick walls, polished concrete floors, and a golden, soft glow from mid-century modern lighting. Some intriguing "eye candy" art hangs on the walls, immediately setting the mood with a mix of elegance and edge. The atmosphere balances cozy intimacy with a modern European flair--perfect for conversation, a date night, or simply unwinding with a glass in hand. I haven't even gotten to the menu yet, which starts with a neat variety of tapas that are both refined and approachable. Each small plate feels crafted to complement the carefully curated wine list--featuring selections from some of the best regions around the world. I'll shut up now...really, check it out. read more

There may not be a better place to go in town if you're heading out for a date or a convo and drinks with a few friends. They do not serve spirit based cocktails, only amaro based, but their servers are super knowledgeable and they have a great selection of wine. They have a few small bites, but it's definitely more of a pre or post dinner spot. The vibe is just so on point. I could live there if they'd let me. read more

A brand new beautifully lit and curated wine and tapas bar in the heart of 9th Ave historic district. We enjoyed the n/a cocktails as well as the bread and cheese plates. The plates are served family style with plenty of great snacks to share. They offer wines and beer along side the tapas. The space is gorgeous, exposed brick with thoughtfully placed art and vintage mirrors. Can't wait to come back. read more

Living in Tucson we are always looking for new places to try. We went this past Saturday evening. La Esquina has a very easy and cool vibe, great wine list & drink selection but a somewhat limited food menu. However, there were more than enough choices on the food menu for a very good, shared meal. Course country mustard and maybe some pate for the charcuterie plate would be nice. Next time we will have the cheese platter. One other suggestion, when in Italy, and stopping off at a similar style wine bar/restaurant the potato chips are put out in a bowl to be shared at the table. Maybe that would work here as well. Looking forward to our next visit. read more

We have too few places like this that give what you get here. Been a long day? Enjoy the hospitality and warmth of this gem.

What an amazing hidden gem! It was like finding a quaint Spanish Taverna in the midst of an urban cityscape. Simple, elegant and tapas were delicious. Such a great vibe for an intimate yet vibrant lil get away from the college bars in town. Service from Faisal was with great care made great wine recommendations and really took time with all the customers. read more

Fantastic place! Super cozy and relaxed vibes. Drinks were great! They have a wide selection of wines, cider, and some cocktails. This would be a great place for girls night or to bring a group of friends. Especially if you want to avoid the downtown scene. Definitely recommend it as a post or pre dinner place to hang out. read more
