We don't typically drink a lot, but Mexican candy shots and Margaritas were incredible, and before we knew it, each of us had like, 5.

HIGHLY recommend, seems like people at any age can still have fun at a place like this, it has indoor and outdoor areas, plenty of space, and upbeat music. Visit HIGHWIRE, you won't be disappointed!

We're hoping to come back again and do one of their Trivia Nights.

Service was very friendly and attentive. The menu has some very inventive drinks and since we had just had dinner/drinks next door, I was looking for more of a nightcap and couldn't resist the Carajillo and it was perfectly sweet and delicious. Drinks are strong and delicious, service is spot on and the vibe is so welcoming. Impressive list of mocktails too. Can't wait to come back and try something else from the menu.

We came for a special stargazing event, which featured a themed menu. I ordered the "Midnight Margarita," but they had run out of blue curaçao and replaced it with blackberry syrup. I really wanted to like it, but it just didn't work for me. My friend tried the "Tucson Campfire" and found it overly sweet -- she couldn't finish it. Another surprise was the parking charge. We asked for a validation code, but it didn't work, which was frustrating. It's puzzling why they charge for parking in the first place, and to top it off, their payment system felt very glitchy

They also have pool tables, foosball table and an outdoor chill spot where you can smoke! Only thing is that They are cash only, so bring some cash, chill and drink while they bump some cash!!

On a recent trip to Tucson, I drank my way through quite a few bars. Out of the bunch, Juniper was…read moreone of my favorites. Located downtown, I found free street parking and then walked over an hour before close on a Tuesday. Ambiance (4.5/5): Juniper gives off speakeasy vibes without being a speakeasy. Elegance and sophistication without being stuffy. There's a long bar and some small tables. I sat at a table. The bar is clean and there's a cool wheel in the middle of the bar that lists out all of the herbs, fruits, and other garnishes that are often used in cocktails. Service (4/5): The bartender started off well, greeting me promptly and then asking for my order after I had looked over the menu for a few minutes. Later on, she went outside and smoked a cigarette for a bit which you probably shouldn't do if you're the only bartender working. That delayed my second drink a bit. All good though, she let me stay after close to finish my drink. Food (N/A): To my knowledge, they don't have food. I had dinner prior. Drinks (5/5): Juniper is Tucson's only gin cocktail lounge. That means gin is what's for dinner. If you're not a gin drinker, probably not your spot. If you do like gin, as I do, you'll be impressed with the significant collection they have. There's an interesting list of creative craft cocktails. That's where I started my night. From there, I picked out a bottle of gin, and had the bartender fix me a simple cocktail with it. I don't think I've ever been to an exclusively gin bar prior to Juniper. Cool spot!

Parking is a bear. Plan to use a nearby garage or even better, ride share since you will be drinking

Because the monkey bar is definitely part of Tucson worth seeing. And I must go, tonight.

I have been sitting on this review for a bit because I actually hate leaving bad reviews. But maybe…read morethis will help save someone else the trouble/disappointment of going to this bar.. 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.
