    Axe throwing, bowling, skee ball, arcade games--this place really has something for the whole family. There's food, drinks, and a nice-sized bar, so it's easy to spend a few hours here having fun. It does get very busy and extremely loud, so I definitely recommend making reservations in advance. Just walking up can mean about a 3-hour wait.

    Axe throwing is so much fun!

    Roadies is our go to spot for an evening out with friends! We've been a handful of times and recently celebrated a girls night. I'm a huge fan of Roadhouse movie cinema, and I was really excited to see they were opening an arcade! It's a little pricey but, for the amount they offer, it makes for a great time. I've done axe throwing, and bowling, both have been a blast split between friends. All staff has been kind, and helpful every time we've been. You can also go in and enjoy the bar and restaurant area and watch various shows and sporting events on their numerous tv screens. The food is similar bar food sold at their movie theater, which is tasty. Their arcade is fantastic, with a lot of choices, and various, diverse, skill level games. If you're looking for a spot to entertain friends, or for a special event, Roadies is the perfect business to support!

    We went to Roadies to see a musician, Leila Lopez, play in the restaurant/bar. The place was impressive (as was Lopez -- we plan to see her again if we can). Our server was exceptional (thanks, Bee). The place is massive. The bar had a great selection of beers and wines, and, of course, the usual bar drinks. We didn't eat anything, as we'd just gone out to dinner, but the menu looked similar to Roadhouse: bar food, but a huge selection. The place is really slick and attractive. We looked around, and can see that it should do well: bowling, a massive arcade with a 'prize room' and various seating areas around the place. In semi-secluded spaces, there was axe-throwing, laser tag and more. We're planning to come back with friends, for sure, to play a bit.

    I wanted to play pinball!! I had not tried out Roadies, so I thought why not! I walked in and got a Roadies card (just like other places). I walked around and really liked how the placed flowed. Also...I found 2 pinball machines!! I also found different games that were intriguing, and I wanted to try...and they were different from other places around town. These are the things I loved. HAND SANITIZER all over, so after playing a game you can sanitize. The tables are REAL wood and quite nice! There are different areas. The arcade, the bar, ax throwing, darts, bowling. Bathrooms are nice, and they have a great idea for drips from the hand soap dispensers . Let me know of you agree! I did not eat, but will the next time I visit. All the staff were nice, and helpful. This place is a nice addition to this area of town.

    Wow service was boo boo. We came at 10:50 they close at midnight. The cutoff for food was 11:00pm. I was with a friend. She got Buffalo chicken strips. I got regular chicken strips with truffle fries. During our whole time they were putting up chairs and breaking down the dining area. We had to ask our waitress multiple times for items. I mentioned to my friend about how we felt rushed and unwelcome. That it was rude to pack up the dining room and put up chair. My friend said she felt like they didn't want us here. I'd have to agree. The movie theatre is amazing. I love going and the food and service are always on point. This place is a different story and I would not come back. It was obvious our food wasn't fresh and it was barely warm. What's the point of a cutoff if the food is going to be leftover anyway? Why not just make it 10pm.

    The Mac and cheese bites I would say would be a 6. Ranch basic but good. The black widow I drank was good, a blueberry tart cider. Water was drinkable, not disgusting. Not a ton of games like Dave and busters but enough because they have bowling and axe throwing. The service I received from Ed was good! It was not loud, you could actually hear your own thoughts. Live music was a nice touch. Games were minimal, but I do like the option to chose the amount of funds I spent when reloading my card. $10, 40 credits

    Nachos, not very much cheese or toppings to chips ratio.  $18 because I asked for guac.

    This weekend, with Grant and Swan closed and traffic detouring through Roadie's parking lot, my friends and I stumbled across this spot and decided to check it out. The good: The atmosphere is really fun--kind of like an adult Chuck E. Cheese, but not as overstimulating as Dave & Buster's. There's a lot to do, and the service was great throughout our visit. The not-so-good: Prices are on the high side. Bowling is cheaper on Groupon elsewhere, and beers were $5+ for a 12 oz pour. Food portions left a lot to be desired. My friend ordered the hummus platter and got two carrot sticks, two celery sticks, four cucumber slices, and four tiny cold pita triangles. There was still hummus left, but nothing left to dip in it. I ordered the nachos, expecting something big enough to share. What I got was maybe the size of a Taco Bell nachos order--for $18 if you add guac. Overall: We had fun, but it didn't feel like a great value. Unless they improve the portion sizes or adjust the pricing, we probably won't be back

    More Entertainment for Tucson!!! Happy for Roadhouse to expand and add more for the community- Roadies! Incredible, energetic, and modern rustic style entertainment for adults & kids. There's Augmented Reality bowling and axe throwing. There's also a huge laser tag and unique darts. I love how open this place is. Plenty of arcades for everyone!! Food was good. Same menu as Roadhouse Cinema- you can order their popcorn too!! The meals were 8/10. Delicious but not the ver best. Fries could be better- recommend maybe shoestring to match style of food? Kitchen definitely needs to try to ensure all meals for the table come out all together and every hot dishes are actually hot. They did come to our table about room temperature- so did not quite feel as if it was fresh. Of course Roadies had recently opened- there's room for improvement with their operations and strategies. However, I know my family and I will come here often. We love games and food & drinks!

    Roadies is a cool new addition for bowling, arcade games, and axe throwing from the creators of Roadhouse Cinemas. Right now they're having a soft opening as their team navigates this new business. We tried their Spark Interactive Bowling and it was fun! I wish there was more explanation of the bowling keypads when you get started, because a lot of people around us kept asking how to use the digital options to customize the projections on the lane. No one showed us, we just kind of pushed buttons until we figured it out. The food is the same as that served at Roadhouse Cinema, great popcorn and a wider food selection than most bowling alleys. So overall the food is pretty good, though a bit on the greasy side. I will say, the dining and bowling concept is a cool idea. However, I wish they'd enforce the 6 person maximum in a lane or create some kind of partition between groups because every two lanes are seated together. We rented one lane for 2 people expecting to have plenty of room and were placed next to a group of 7+, it became really crowded trying to move to bowl and eat. The other group kept sitting on open space on our reserved side. At $40-50/hr per lane on a weekend, it's not a great experience when you're crammed in with too many others because they didn't pay for enough space. Hope they learn to sort it out.

    Quesadilla de Birria

    I was excited to try Roadies, just like I was at another location. I ordered the birrias quesadillas, which should never be sold here. As a Latino, I was particularly disappointed because the soup tasted like watered-down liquid. There was also a plastic object inside of my birrias quesadilla I left it in the corner of my plate, and the quesadillas had big pieces that I couldn't determine whether they were cilantro or spinach. I was so disappointed that I didn't even try to finish eating my birrias quesadilla. The food took about an hour to arrive, which was okay, but at least they should have offered a second drink.

    Fun charity event bowling at Roadies. Server was great. Not your typical alley. Floors are not as slick but designed for family fun. Popcorn was great & mac n cheese bites were good too! Will be back

    The zz team Laser tag fun
    James C.

    The place is in a great location. Lots to do , eat and drink. There were plenty of servers and we were check on often while sitting at a hi-top in the bar. There are lots of families and groups of all ages enjoying the games, food and atmosphere. It was really laid back, moderately loud but really well behaved for all the people and alcohol. Fun place and good for a family outing. The prices are on par for this type of entertainment. Will definitely go back.

    We came here on the weekend after seeing an Instagram post. The vibe and Aesthetics were amazing! Love the lounge area with the fireplace and how there are tables outside with their own firepits. We went to the bowling area and loved the aesthetics and food! They have great service at the lanes and bring you whatever you need. The arcade area was really fun too and they have a great selection for prizes. We'll be back to try out the cinemas!

    If you want grown-up time - axe throwing is not open to the kiddos and does make for a fun date night.

    We stopped in on a Tuesday afternoon, not knowing that Social Hour (3-6pm) had started. We had our…read moredog with us so we needed to stay on the patio.T We each had a beer. I had my blood orange wheat and he had a milk stout. We sat on a comfy couch next to a large Bouganvilla shrub with nesting birds. Those birds kept buzzing over us. The inside is nicely decorated with solid wood tables and an extensive whiskey bar. The beer and wine list is also impressive. Service and ambiance were both very good, but the only thing I wish the place offered were misters for outside seating. We were the only ones outside and we are an older couple, so it wasn't economical to have any misters running.

That whole St. Philip's area always has a great energy, and UPH is a big part of that. There's usually a crowd, live music or sports on, and it feels like one of those places where you can bring friends from out of town and know it'll be a fun time. Food is consistently solid. The grilled chicken sandwich is my go-to and it's good every time. We both usually get one, and a lot of the time we'll add buffalo wings, which are some of our favorites in Tucson. Good flavor, good texture, and always reliable. If anything, the wings could always use a little more sauce, but they're still one of the better orders on the menu. The only real issue, and it happens pretty often, is the service speed. Everyone there is friendly, but the place always feels understaffed, especially when it's busy. We've had multiple times sitting outside in the Arizona heat where it takes 15-20 minutes just to get water to the table, and you start wondering if you should go up to the bar yourself to get things moving. Once service gets going everything is fine, but getting that first round of attention can take longer than it should for how often this place fills up. Even with that, we keep coming back. The food is consistent, the atmosphere is great, and the plaza has a real sense of community that makes it easy to hang out there for a while. It's one of our go-to spots in Tucson, and it's still somewhere we bring friends when they're visiting. Food 7.5 Ambience 8 Service 7 Price 7 7.4 overall C Great place to spend time, just don't expect everything to happen quickly when it's busy.

    Love Dante's! Years back my friends and I would come for happy hour all the time. Their drinks…read morewere amazing! And food of course was top notch! No doubt about that with Chef Ken Foy at the helm... multi Iron Chef of Tucson champ! Staff was and is always friendly and attentive. I can't believe it's closing! Last day is this Sunday. Before their doors closed one last time, my friends and I had to visit. I made reservations for dinner, but a couple of us went early to enjoy their famous happy hour at the bar. Like we used to. Their drinks are amazing. I loved the Mango "Mexican candy" martini! (I had two, maybe three!) Also, they've still got their 7 happy hour appetizers for $7 each special. We ordered the escargot, deviled eggs and Thai shrimp. The escargot was and always will be my favorite in addition to the jalapeño poppers (which we ordered at dinner as an appetizer). Finally got to dinner. I didn't get pictures of the other gals dishes, but the one friend and I from happy hour, although a little full, still went ahead and ordered something. She went with the clam chowder and I had one of their original specials, the Shrimp and Grits. That dish was so flavorful. Ugh, I wish I could come back and have more of the different entrees. I want to wish Ken and the staff good luck in all their future endeavors. I am sure we'll see them around the foodie scene for years to come! Thank you.

    My friend is still getting the lay of the Tucson land and had read about our Tucson Iron Chef, Ken…read moreFoy. We needed a Monday, late-ish dinner venue and this was open. Ashley was our bartender/server and advised that the Cucumber Martini was their most popular - a really lovely fusion of three different cucumber sources along with three types of citrus ($14). My friend gravitates towards good bourbons so she got the Pecan Old Fashioned ($14). Both were deeelicious. We were bummed to learn they were out of their famous escargot so we ordered the Wild Mushroom w/ Baked Brie ($17) - warm, savory, if a bit salty. Their incredible (dense, chewy) bread that is gratis with dinner ended up being a perfect pairing for the brie and Ashley readily brought us a second helping to help polish it off. We also split the Pappardelle Diablo entree (pasta with crab and chorizo in a pepper/cajun cream sauce - $31). As expected, it's a bit heavy-rich, with decent amounts of shredded crab and crumbled chorizo. We nearly closed the place down and, dutifully, left a gracious tip to our all-purpose hostess, bartender, waitress, and superwoman, Ashley. Parking is ample/free in their private lot and ambience is cozy. I read that Dante's might be pivoting to a more "local/bar" theme later this year, to include a simpler-foods menu and maybe even pool tables. I'm not sure that's going in the right direction, especially with Culinary Dropout across the street but then I appreciate the thin margins and challenging economy of running a restaurant. Whatever Ken does will be worth trying!
