I will admit, when I walked in, I was immediately looking up for the menu of on tap beverages that Hop Street had, and then the array of beverages they had in the coolers on the side. The on 30+on tap isn't there and the coolers are limited, but I like the changes! It's now a full bar and a smaller scale cooler selection (which still seemed to be a good selection). The bartender was very nice. She seemed to be the perfect bartender for this type of establishment that appeared to have an array of regulars. I went to the bingo on Thursday which was fun. They have it on Thursday and Sundays. The only issue was the music was a little too loud or the mc's mic wasn't on loud enough to hear. They do sell some food and also have various food trucks outside as well. I'm certainly looking forward to going back.

We came here because we wanted to play pool one night and Pockets had a tournament going on. We were originally 3 out of the 5 people in the bar (one bartender and one other dude who may or may not have worked there- but kept going into the back room). It was SO quiet which I found oddly unsettling lol. The only way there would be any sound other than our voices was to pay money to play music ourselves and I dropped way too much money to keep it going while we were there. Next, the bartender was odd to us...In some weirdly pretentious way. To be fair, we all do look young and people tend to treat us as such when we go out. However, he was so condescending about everything. I asked for a drink and he corrected me on how to order it-but not in a helpful way? More like he was annoyed with me. I turned 21 almost 15 years ago. I order the same drinks and have never been told that a bartender doesn't understand what I'm asking for- even if I don't use the proper bartending terminology. My roommate asked for a vodka redbull and the bartender made some weird comment about this not being one of our "hipster bars" like ??? I drink vodka red bulls in literal biker bars. We prefer smaller, low-key bars. It was such a strange and judgmental thing to say. He basically talked to US as if we thought we were too good for that place? Idk it's really hard to explain. But it left a horrible taste in our mouths. A couple came in a while before we left and seemed to be friends of the bartender- which somehow made the vibe even more uncomfortable. It's as if they all wanted us to leave. It's so weird to make your literal ONLY paying patrons feel so awkward and unwelcome. Dude needs a serious attitude adjustment. The a-hole bartender theme is out dated. That's just bad business. It's one thing to be busy and short with people when you're serving a full bar; that's usually expected, but you don't have to be a jerk to the only three people in the place lol.

Hey. Kolb Road Lounge…read more Didn't you used to be a Tavern? I'm pretty sure you used to be a Tavern. Kolb Road Tavern. Tavern. You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means. I remember when the KRL had a hitching post out in front, and Kolb was a dirt road. Ahhhh...days of yore. Anyway, I was feeling cranky and stressed and like a junkie I needed my fix that only a dive can give. The KRL. This joint is cool by me. I like their drafts, I like their shots, I like the pretty bartender with the ripped up shirt. I liked the cleaning advice about the hot dog machine. Really. It's the final buff that gives the "just grilled " taste. If you're peckish, the KRL also has pizza. And the rolling wieners. The regulars are super cool, happy and play great music on the jukebox. There are two pool tables and numerous flat screens for sports, and NASCAR. (If that's a sport.) [haha...redneck mob with pitchforks and torches* stay away from my house. I grew up watching Dale Sr., Andretti, Petty, and Pearson...oh and Ricky Bobby and Ligtnin' McQueen. And I vaguely remember "Days of Thunder"] Here is how I know it's a legit joint: One of the regs asked me what I did for a living. I responded that I rode around Tucson leaving shitty reviews of local dives. I then got pelted with three Cheetos. (Two missed the mark, the third I ate) But it's that kind of loyalty to a dive that makes it great. Kolb Road Lounge- your rep is solid and well defended by a beautiful sweet regular and a bag of crunchy Cheetos! Cheers!! *citations...who uses 'em? I feel like I lifted this reference of the "redneck mob with pitchfork and torch" from a review written by my good buddy Jennifer P. If I did, it was done with respect for the imagery and tribute to the coolness...and well, because I'm old, doddering, and slightly buzzed.

We managed to snag a couple of seats in a communal lounge area. I think it's the kind of place where many people come early for happy hour. It was also raining which made it impossible to sit outside, meaning the indoor seating area was pretty packed. We decided to lean into the sidecar of it all and order a classic prohibition sidecar. I don't think this was a traditional sidecar, which was surprising, but it was tasty. It's small, but it packs a punch. The bartenders here are very talented.

They had a small selection of craft beer in their fridge and two that were on tap (In addition to a hard seltzer). While initially worried, I had no problem finding a beer to enjoy. While the selection was limited, it was very well thought out and I found a new hazy IPA to enjoy. While we did not try any on this visit, they did have a large selection of wines and I would be that they would meet your "vino" expecations. What a cool place! The quant and intimate atmosphere was definitely the highlight. The room is no bigger than a living room and that provided a chance for the bar tender to mingle and get to know the patrons. Personally, it was a refreshing look when compared to other bars around town. Go here because you want a "different" experience. If you are looking for walls of beer and taps, TV's on the wall, or food trucks... this isn't the spot (although there is always a time and place for that!). What they lack in volume & selection they make up for in thought & care. I'll be back for sure.

The cocktail selection is extensive, and while my drink was just okay, the space itself more than made up for it.
