Love the wall of chianti bottles that lead to the bar and love that the staff dress up in casual Prohibition garb. Came here for girl's night and it was everyone's first time even at the restaurant but mine. I'd had dinner a couple times in the restaurant for my birthday and had the cheese wheel fettuccine alfredo. I asked if anyone was interested in trying it and so 3 of us split it which ended up being pretty perfect. It is hands down THE BEST fettuccine alfredo. We had many drinks come to our table, the first round being the homemade limoncello. Made with local Meyer lemons, it is deliciously potent. A must try. The bartender, Ryan or Brian, he made cocktails from the heart. A couple of gals ordered "dealer's choice" drinks and they were inspired by the drinker's stories. It was really a unique experience for them and I could almost see his mind working out the chemistry of the libations. Another must try, although I didn't because I had to drive myself home. I did have a coffee with Bailey's, Amaretto, and freshly-made whipped cream. Last must try if not on a coffee drink maybe on a dessert. One person in our party thought that the drinks were on the spendy side. Many of the ingredients were house made and all top shelf. I'm from Los Angeles so an $18 drink was a normal night at the klerb. Worth mentioning if that would be a deal breaker. Worth a go. I thought it was better than the speakeasy at the Sonoran House which was too bright and not intimate. You really like feel more like you're not where you're supposed to be at The Still. There is a curio cabinet with cigars that I think are for sale. The speakeasy opens up to the patio for all the smoke suckers. Great for a small groups or date night, maybe not the first date.

I'd give The Owls Club 10 stars if I could…read more This is a true gem in Tucson. Historic, moody, sophisticated vibes with live music and a setting that feels like you stepped into another era. Fun fact, it used to be a mortuary which honestly adds to the whole slightly eerie, beautifully atmospheric charm in the best way. Why did it take me so long to get here?! Drinks aren't cheap but they are absolutely worth it. I had a non alcoholic drink that was divine and honestly didn't feel like an afterthought at all. So many little nooks to explore, but the courtyard under the palm trees was my favorite. On this visit, with moonlight, vintage architecture, and soft ambient lighting, it just felt unreal. All I could think was this is the perfect place for events, gatherings, or just lingering a little too long because you don't want the night to end.

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!

When I mentioned that my margarita wasn't my favorite, the staff went above and beyond to make it right, which I really appreciated. We also ordered the artichokes, which were a bit soft and not what we expected. The owner personally came to our table to explain that they were premium artichokes imported from Spain and that their texture was intentional. We appreciated the explanation and the care they took to ensure we had a great experience. The Bee's Knees was by far the best cocktail of the night, while the Borderland Margarita was just okay. Overall, we had a fantastic evening and would gladly return for the exceptional hospitality, great cocktails, and live music.

There were a couple of people in the hallway but none noticed us and the doorman was nowhere to be found. We waited a few minutes and then headed for The Batch. So disorganized :-/ We spontaneously swung by for their Thursday 8pm grand opening on 6/11/26, wandering in around 8:30 after having dinner nearby. The entrance - like any good speakeasy - has no signage and is a totally nondescript hallway, monitored by a self-described doorman. He'll guide you the 30 feet in to the elevator that goes down one flight to the Emerald 29. He warned us that roughly 60 people had already entered. We guest his estimate was spot on - with roughly 35-40 of those standing in line to get a cocktail. Three bartenders were juggling the backlog behind a modestly sized bar but patrons warned it was going slowly. The venue itself is 100-year-old-bank-vault-cool, with windowless wooden walls and massively thick steel bankers doors. We agreed that the lighting was too bright but perhaps that was just for this grand opening weekend. There were a number of couches and loveseats but no high tops to accommodate overflow. So more than half of the crowd was relegated to standing and holding their drinks/apps. Exiting you can take the stairs up (but the doors lock from the outside so cannot take them down). Parking in this area of downtown is especially tight with a half-dozen restaurants and theaters sharing the same 25 meters but then two public garages roughly 5 blocks away in opposite directions are also available - just avoid the one run by Metropolis and their nefariously bad AI camera/metering system!
