I've been to this bar a few times with a small group of friends. I've also been for some of their listening parties for Whitney Houston, Usher, etc. which are always fun. The servers are true winos and can guide you to the right glass. The owner is typically at the bar when I come and is a very pleasant guy. I like that they let you select what goes on your charcuterie board so you can experiment with flavors. They serve port wines too! My only complaint is that they don't serve wine flights. I recommend this spot as a pretty dinner meetup with a friend or two (it can be loud sometimes) or a date night.

I've been coming here for years now, but this is my first time leaving a review. Revel is a great space to try new wines and catch up with a friend, attend a wine tasting or blind-tasting event, or listen to live music. I enjoy sitting at the bar and chatting with the bartender/server about the wines they have. I can always find a wide variety of wines and something I've never tasted before. The environment is welcoming with a touch of sophistication (although the dress can be very casual). I typically only come for the wine, but the cheese/charcuterie options are unique and tasty if you want something to snack on. Oh and if you go on Tapas Tuesdays, you get a free tapa with every glass of wine!

We were in town for a couple of days and looking for a quiet spot for a drink and discovered REVEL. located just off 4th street this cozy wine bar has an interesting selection of wines by the glass as well as a build your own charcuterie menu. I enjoyed a couple of glasses of a sparkling white burgundy and my wife savored the French Rhône. The charcuterie menu allows you to mix and match cheese, meat and other items and was very reasonably priced and was just what we needed food-wise. While service was a bit on the leisurely side of things, we were in no hurry and the three folks working seemed to be doing their best. A great little spot.

Nice wine experience, super chill place with wines you have probably never had. Great experience! You will like the vibes, very relaxing. Ou

The wine selection here is always nothing short of impressive. After a long and hot 103 degree day yesterday, the Elk Cove Pinot Blanc was the perfect way to start off our evening. Revel is such a cool local find- where style and community converge. Everyone is approachable and knowledgable about all things wine. Make this your new summer hang!

Quite the selection of wine. Atmosphere is beautiful. Classic, small and quiet. Great spot for enjoying a book and wine or enjoying an evening with a friend. Take your pick. Music was played at a perfect level for conversation and savoring your wine. Not a large selection of food. You have a handful of options to make a charcuterie board. Everything I had chosen was delicious. Bread that was brought out had a great crust and soft in center. Wish there was some butter to top it.

Tried it for the first time with a friend and it was nice! Friendly staff & rose was delicious. Love the mural inside too! Would definitely go back!

Tried a few glasses of wine while in Tucson. The service was pretty good. I was surprised to see we were the only people in their. It's a very nice set up with a long bar area and tables along the wall. They had a nice selection of red and white wines as well as port wine. I forgot to ask if they serve food. I didn't see it on the menu ? Finding parking wasn't easy but we look forward to trying this place again when we visit Tucson.

Charcuterie spread! We tried almost everything!

Went here with a couple friends for birthday drinks. The staff were very friendly and knowledgeable and everything we had was amazing!

This place is adorable. Local art on the wall and fresh meats and cheeses. The wine selection rotates and is delicious.

There aren't a lot of places like this in Tucson - I'm so glad we have Revel. Lovely wine list, nice little bites, & staff who really know their stuff when it comes to vino. Always getting new labels & varietes in to try and they have a great wine club if you want a little more in-depth experience. I've participated in several events here and always really enjoy the laid back atmosphere and open/welcoming approach to wine education & wine enjoyment. This is a great date night spot or place to meet with friends. Cheers to a great wine bar!

Had a Carne Asada Taco and a glass of Dos Equis (XX) Lager Especial at Sonora Moonshine on Broadway…read morehere in Tucson. XX is familiar, but the Carne Asada Taco was something else entirely. I've never had a soft taco feel this elevated. The flavor was beautifully balanced -- as if every ingredient had been measured with intention so they could come together and deliver the exact deliciousness they were aiming for. The carne and the other ingredients were cut into similarly small pieces, giving each bite a clean, even texture. And the zig‑zag of fresh guac across the top didn't just add richness; it made the whole thing look brighter, fresher, and more inviting. It's a testament to the idea that you don't have to complicate a simple dish like a carne asada taco to elevate its flavor. Simple, fresh, authentic Sonoran ingredients will do it.

I stopped by Sonora Moonshine for a late dinner on a Tuesday evening. This Mexican restaurant is…read morelocated downtown. Your best bet is finding street parking (which was free since I arrived pretty late). I sat at the bar. Ambiance (4/5): Sonora Moonshine is a good looking bar and restaurant. There's a pretty spacious patio out front. And a pretty small bar inside, along with some seating. The ambiance is trendy and comfortable. Service (4/5): The bartender did a decent job taking care of me. It wasn't busy at all. There was a group of two people outside, me, and that's it. She could have done a better job checking in and being more attentive, but given the number of people that were there, it wasn't tough to get a hold of her. A nice touch that Sonora does is they have postcards that you can fill out. They will send it out for you free of charge. Drinks (4/5): Sonora has an interesting list of craft cocktails, many of them with a focus on Mexican spirits including tequila, mezcal, and sotol. I tried two cocktails and they were both good. They even have a "basura" drink that's served in a plastic bag... pretty funny! Food (4/5): Sonora's menu isn't large, but it's an interesting one. I ended up going with the queso fundido which is a Mexican cheese blend with birria. The cheese is served on a hot platter and it's stretchy. You have tortilla chips that you use to scoop up some of the cheese. While not a huge portion, it was exactly what I wanted. Traditionally, it's served plain or with chorizo. Birria here is a nice touch. Pro tip: They have a speakeasy in the basement that's open several nights a week.

While I'm a planner, I recognize the joy of a good dose of spontaneity every now and then. I…read morestopped by Unicorn Zebra on a Tuesday evening. Located downtown, this unique bar is inside a boutique hotel. Since it's downtown, street parking is your best bet (free at night). Ambiance (4.5/5): This is part of where Unicorn Zebra shines. Definite animal theme going with some cool status and decor. It's modern, trendy, and a little out there. Which makes for a cool experience. The main bar is relatively small. 10 seats or so at the bar and a couple of tables. What you won't immediately realize is that if you go up the stairs in the lobby of the hotel, you'll get to a second level of the bar. This is more of a lounge with comfortable seating and board games. I got to enjoy both. Service (4/5): Two bartenders were working, even though it's a small bar, which is always appreciated. I ordered one cocktail. I was greeted promptly, my order was taken quickly, prepared, and she ended up closing me out without me asking since they were closing soon. Solid overall. Food (N/A): I had dinner prior to stopping by. I didn't notice whether they offer food or not. Drinks (5/5): I have a lot of cocktails in my day (typing this with my chest puffed out). After many years of visiting countless watering holes, I will say that Unicorn Zebra has one of the most unique cocktails I've tried in my life. It was so out there that I was unsure whether or not I should try it. I even asked the bartender about it. I'm happy I took the plunge. Let me paint a picture for you. Vodka infused with basil, buffalo mozzarella, and tomatoes. Served with two cherry tomatoes as garnishes... yup! If it sounds disgusting to you, just trust me. It tastes like a Margherita pizza in liquid form. So glad I tried it as it was hands down not only unique, but one of the best cocktails I've ever sipped on. Thank you Unicorn Zebra for a memorable experience!

The decor, overall vibe, and drink menu are really fun, but the bartender we had kind of killed the…read moreexperience. We'd heard good things about this place and have been trying to support local downtown bars this summer, so we stopped in around 11 on a Friday night before heading home. As we sat down, we watched the bartender be pretty dismissive toward another group at the bar, so we were already a little unsure. We started talking about the decor because we liked the eclectic vibe. We jokingly pointed out that one of the pictures had a joint instead of a cigarette because someone in our group hadn't noticed. One of the bartender's first comments back, completely seriously, was, "I'm from San Diego. Have you never seen art before?" Honestly... what? It was such a weird, unnecessarily condescending response. I brushed it off at first as awkward banter, but it was a really strange first impression. The drinks were decent. The Loverlist was really good, and the Unicorn Fluff and Old Fashioned were fine. The bartender was quick to talk up their whiskey selection, but when we asked for a recommendation, she mostly gave reasons why she couldn't recommend anything and just kept saying they had "over 90 different options." Without a whiskey menu to look through, that wasn't especially helpful. We also asked for a shooter and were offered half of a cocktail instead. That would've been totally fine on its own, but combined with everything else, the service just never felt welcoming. We ended up leaving pretty quickly. I'd give the place another shot because the atmosphere is fun and has a lot of potential, but hopefully with a different bartender behind the bar.
