Awesome concert venue with parking really being the only concern. This review, however, is for an event... the weekly Salsa Thursday Social. And let me put this out there as a fair disclaimer, I've got two left feet. We chose the 7pm option ($17) which included an hour of instruction to begin with. The other ticketing option starts at 8p ($7) and is the actual Salsa Social. I can only gush about the camaraderie and concerted effort that was uninhibitedly displayed by the delightfully wide-ranging crowd of about 100 during the 8p social. Wide ranging in age, demographics, abilities, and with a near 50-50 gender balance too. The cathedral height and vast open floor created an auditory airiness and ample distance between everyone for salsa missteps. The lone frustration about this event was in the beginning 7pm hour. The experienced couple on stage, leading the instructions, polled everyone (roughly 50 folks at this phase) and about a 1/3 indicated they were true beginners. They then proceeded to demonstrate sequences at mind-boggling speeds. Eventually some folks urged them to slow down but then the transition to the next series of steps would occur barely 5 minutes later. At the half-hour mark you're trying to remember 4-5 sequences AND string them all together. Yes, there were lots of smiles, some surrenders, and flashes of brilliance (not me). My partner had a little informal salsa exposure through weddings and parties and even she could barely keep up with the instructions. Here's the catch-22. IF you can (truly) master these 6-8 basic sequences AND string them together AT salsa-music-speed, you can have a convincingly decent time during the 8p social. IF! So I get the urgency of mastering these modest starting sequences in the first hour. But for those beginners contemplating attending, simply know what you're getting into. Had I known what I now know, I probably would have been too intimidated to try at such a fast pace and instead opted for some private/studio lessons first. The Social hour really is a wonderful opportunity to explore your inner salsa, no matter your ability. The crowd is very forgiving. But your inner critic will probably want some fundamentals more buttoned up :) read more

La Rosa - Half-dozen small individual toilets on the left and wash sinks on the right - really cool adaptation of this monastery! - Music Venues Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

Wonderful venue! The sound for the concert I went to was superb. The little side bar was wonderful. Great cocktails, fast and friendly! I was initially worried about parking. But I planned ahead and it all worked out. read more

Amazing and unique new venue!! Formerly a church and now converted to an event venue for concerts, salsa dancing, disco nights, sporting events, and more. They have multiple bar areas, including an outdoor patio area, and even saved a few of the church pews for indoor seating. They sell food next door at the Sisters Restaurant through the outdoor attached beer garden. The one area that could use some attention is the restrooms, which really need to be serviced throughout an event night. There is street parking and a few parking lots within a few minutes walk nearby. Overall, I am excited this place opened in Tucson and can't wait to see more concerts! read more

Have been to a few events now. The absolute best was the Club Pride night. The place was stunning, fun, great entertainment, good music. There is a confessional with a bartender giving good and evil shots. So so much fun. read more

I love love love this venue!!! Great acoustics places to sit, places to stand, outdoor patio and accessible restrooms. It's close to some food options before or after a show. The shows don't drag on before the headliner comes on. I can understand why the neighborhood people might be up in arms, because there are a lot of new people parking their street. I also say to them that they live in the city center and the town is changing it is inevitable. Dave does an excellent job of programming fantastic shows. I'm pretty darn happy with the place. read more

This was my first time here and I was impressed. The history of the place is so interesting and enjoyed seeing the different areas including the outside patio and bar. The ceilings are really beautiful. Inside there is a small bar, an all-gender bathroom (with private stalls), and the seating area. We went for a concert by a singer, Patti Zlaket, with a band. The acoustics were really great and we really enjoyed her show. It is centrally located which is convenient. There is a restaurant next to it and you can bring food from there inside. They have a wide variety of shows. The one downside is limited parking. They do have a few handicap spots and you can reserve a spot for an extra amount when you buy the tickets. It's a really nice addition to available venues in Tucson. read more

I can't talk highly enough about this place! By far the most beautiful venue I have ever been to and might ever be to in my life. The sound quality and lighting are truly top tier. Entering the venue isn't as hard as it may seem and the signs for parking help a ton when it's show time. If you are on the fence about going here I would definitely give it a shot. You will not be disappointed! read more

Absolutely stunning venue with stellar sound and staff! A handful of bars to choose from, as well as 2 outside patios and sister restaurant "Sisters" next door. Occasional evenings, staff will hand out 15% off flyers for the restaurant after a show. Grab a drink and get loose. What a place to transcend! read more

We've been here over 10 years and go to many concerts around the country and this was the most unique venue yet. The ambiance, the acoustics, and the overall feel of the place made us want to return as often as possible. That's not a bad seat in the place. The bathrooms were spotless, the crew was friendly, and the whole evening was special. Great small indoor venue to check out. read more

First of all I loved the venue. The staff was great. The prices were a little high but not crazy. The band sounded incredible!! The bad (and it's really bad) is there is ZERO air movement in there. I sweated a lot just standing there. Everyone was covered in sweat. The place is sealed, windows don't even open. Vents don't work or weren't on. Unless you go in January I would skip this place. Very unfortunate. And to the owners, y'all must not be from here. The concert was the most unenjoyable experience for something that should've been. read more

What an amazing and beautiful venue! Since it used to be a church, the acoustics and lighting projections are just perfect. They have 3 bars (one called The Confessionary, a cute one-person bar), a front bar with a balcony, and a spacious bar- patio in the back. They also had a taco bar in the outdoor patio. The bathrooms are gender-neutral, a very clever touch! Great place for events. read more

La Rosa is a new, welcoming live music venue in Tucson. The Benedictine has been transformed without losing the architectural character of the space, and the programming has been solid. The acoustics are fantastic, and there really isn't a bad seat in the house. For most shows, the front and patio bars + taco bar open 1.5 hours prior to the show. Service is quick and friendly. David Slutes & team have created space our community will enjoy for years to come. read more

I went to La Rosa for the first time to a Madonna dance party. The venue is AHHH-mazing but the DJ could have been better. How hard is it to play Madonna's hits??!! It could have been better. Maybe the dj was trying too hard and too young to know her music?? read more

If we could give 6 stars to this new venue, we would. Honestly, it's now our favorite spot to enjoy music. It is gorgeous. Stunning. And there is absolutely NO bad spot to stand! Recently, we saw two of our favorite bands, Bay Ledges and LEISURE. The show was sensational and the sound was epic. Also, because this was a former monastery, the architecture allows individuals to roam in and out of the main room, venture to the multiple bars, bathroom, and feel extremely comfortable. The patio bar is beautiful and quintessential Tucson, with beautiful desert-western decor. We invited a big group of friends to this show and every single one of them was so impressed and planned to buy tickets to many more shows. Also, every person we interacted with, security, bartenders, and employees were friendly, considerate and outstanding. We are SO thrilled this new venue was created in such a breathtaking, and historic spot. So many unique and outstanding bands are scheduled, we can't wait to head back. read more

Really cool place, and Tucson definitely needed something like this! The band last night Strfkr_music was amazing high quality, talented, and truly made the night special. Unfortunately, it was extremely hot and humid inside, and some of the staff were unnecessarily rude and disrespectful. The place has great potential, but the comfort and customer service need improvement. read more

I am overall very pleased and impressed with my first trip to this new venue called La Rosa. I had heard good things and I am glad sing its praises as well . This is a beautiful new venue to join Tucsons vibrant scene, and it is housed in the historical Benedictine Monastery off of country club. I got to see the beloved local turned national duo of Ryanhood and it was just stellar. It was a seated show and we did general admission but were still comfortable and had no problem getting seat. There are two bars and although a little bit of a line.. still friendly service and reasonable drink prices. Two of the house cocktails (Neon Prophet ..delish btw) were 13$ each . Note that it is a cashless establishment! Nice patio, plenty of restrooms and good security around. Also note that parking is tricky, while there is some on site and encouraged to pre purchase , watch for signage in the neighborhood to avoid a ticket. We chose ride share and that was easy. Also their website is easy to buy tickets on and it seems like they have lots of great shows coming up! I'm definitely excited for this new hot spot! And don't miss on the tacos out back! read more

Fantastic venue!!! Much better than the last mass I caught there. Went to see Miss Olivia and the Interlopers and wow what a show! The music was fantastic, lighting was wonderful, and I even got in for confession! Everything was wonderful except the pizza out on the patio, a few of us got sliced and we were not fans. Maybe they were sitting too long but they could have been better, but as far as venue... 5 stars!! read more

WOW! This is an amazing new music venue for Tucson. The venue is wonderful for any and all music I have seen here. Been open 4 months and I've been 4 times now. The cocktails at the bar are tasty and so unique so that is also great. They now have a restaurant next door and allow you to come and go btwn the two places which is very nice. I've yet to try the food but I sure will soon. Great bar staff too! read more

Sisters Restaurant & the La Rosa Venue are such gems in Tucson! We ordered the family-style lasagna for four- six people, and it was absolutely delicious--the perfect portion size, rich, comforting, and honestly tasted homemade in the best way. It also came with a large, fresh salad that was perfect for sharing, which made the whole meal feel thoughtful and complete. Beyond the food, the venue itself is incredibly well designed--fun, inviting, and clearly well thought out. The beautiful outdoor space and bar make it such a great place to relax, hang out, and soak in the atmosphere before and after a show. We had an excellent concert experience, and the combination of great food, a chill vibe, and a fantastic setting made the night memorable. La Rosa is the kind of place you want to come back to again and again. Highly recommend! read more

Be-a-U-tifal. This is a church converted into a venue space. I saw the Format just this week and it was amazing. Fantastic acoustics and atmosphere. Really friendly staff. They also have lots of beverage and food options, and a good size outdoor courtyard and bar. And bonus, good bathrooms. If you know, you know. read more

All gender bathroom is disgusting. As a woman there are things I do after I wash my hands. I check my makeup, check for boogers and check for panty lines. I am comfortable washing my hands and doing female things in front of other females. I had to wash my hands next to a man and did NOT feel comfortable to do my usual female things in front of MEN. There is no other bathroom. I had to pee badly. If I choose to share a bathroom with MEN, that should be MY choice. La Rosa took my CHOICE away. It is a cashless establishment, and when 2 beers comes to $30 on a card, this is ridiculous. My husband and i left without even seeing the opening bands. read more

Such an awesome idea/venue to have in Tucson. I love how the are bringing new artist that had not thought of coming to Tucson.

Recently went to a show at this new venue in Tucson. It is a beautiful venue! The sound was amazing. Very easy to get in. Bar lines were quick, and the bathroom is great. 100% recommend going to a show here. I live in Cottonwood and definitely plan on going back for more read more

Beautiful venue with amazing sound. Bar service moves quickly and restaurant are clean. Only issue was the floor barrier used to secure the electrical wiring for the sound engineer. People kept tripping on it and often with drinks in their hands. While no fell, we lost count after the 50th person. Understand the necessity but this was an accident waiting to happen by using a large barrier. The interior is so lovely that people were not looking down as they walked. read more

My first visit was amazing! I will first start with standing room only concert however church pews lined the walls and a few chairs set up was the perfect touch! Sound is Amazing! They have done a Great Job with this venue and Sisters restaurant next door perfect match! Looking forward to next concert!!! read more

Transforming a historic building into a loud, obnoxious neighbor is certainly a choice. The owners clearly don't care about the residents who LIVE IN THE BUILDING (and weren't even told it was going to be a music venue until AFTER the deal was made). La Rosa blasts music past 'quiet enjoyment' hours and allows their patrons to run amok right outside people's homes. PLEASE find a different way to support your favorite artists. read more
