Great local Tucson hangout, setting a high bar for eco-friendly businesses. Sky Bar hosts regular community-oriented events like Coley W's Monday trivia night, Friday night Orbital Evolution hoop and Elemental Artistry fire performances, an adult spelling bee, astronomy lessons, etc. Attached to Brooklyn Pizza, this is my favorite pizza & drinks place in Tucson. read more

Let's see - you can order food at Brooklyn Pizza and have them deliver to Sky Bar. Lots of different types of seating. Fun chandelier over the bar. Bartenders who care about the drinks they're making, and on slow nights they'll actually engage in conversation. I love this bar. I go nearly every Monday night for their trivia, and am a regular when I go out on the weekend. I will admit that I've gotten frustrated at the speed of service on a busy night, but oh well, it's probably for the best. It's also a pretty good place for sports watching, it doesn't have the college-cheer atmosphere of the places on University, but you also don't have to worry about seating. Friendly to folks of all ages - newborns to AARP members. Dog friendly too! Get a slice of pizza, a drink, and enjoy the night! Oh - I'm not a star gazer, but they have telescopes projecting images of the sky on most night - yay for science! read more

Staff were extremely rude. A man who identified himself as Kenny was very rude to our friends and made us feel very unwelcome. We will not come again and recommend people go to other bars. read more

I love everything about Sky. It's so unique, the astronomy patio is amazing. The high powered telescopes tell a story of their own. The astronomers are knowledgeable, and what's better than enjoying a cocktail and looking at the stars?! While you're at it, also enjoy some of the best pizza in Tucson right next door at Brooklyn Pizza co! We have fresh ginger and fresh lemon and lime juice if you're in the mood for an N/A beverage, I suggest the homemade ginger ale! It's delicious! read more

The Sky Bar is the hippest, least tawdry incarnation ever in this location, giving me hope for Fourth North. The breezy patio, solar panels, and wall windows remind me of the Flying Monkey in Key West (minus the washtub daquiris). More importantly, Sky Bar offers open mikes, Argentine tango lessons, wildlife rehab benefits, and belly dancing. These are the themes I've experienced during random stop-ins. The bartenders are quick, efficient professionals who are more than friendly. While they don't serve food, Brooklyn pizza boxes on the tables indicate that you can bring your own. I walked in freely with a coffee from Epic. The music isn't too loud for a non-mimed conversation, and Sky Bar seems family friendly, a true rarity in this area. It's nice to see UA area families cutting loose a bit (they are obviously walking home). read more

The whiskey ginger was amazing, the dj was boring, the heaters were great and the telescope was broken. Disappointed at best.

I like sky bar. It's spacious and good for hanging with friends. They have a decent beer selection on draft and more in bottles. I have come here a few times for UA games and it's great - cheap drinks, big screens and lots of fans. The indoor seating is a little all over the place, meaning not quite enough but I'm not sure how to fix it. Being able to order a slice of pizza easily is a plus. This place isn't crawling with annoying pretentious folks, and sometimes is home to colorful characters, but all in all it's a good bar. read more

Totally chill place to go for lunch. I'm glad I decided to give this place a try. I thought it was a hipsters hangout only. The chicken parmesan was so tasty. I couldn't believe a sandwich big enough to feed two people that tastes that good and only cost $4.75. Plus ice tea for $1 awesome. read more

A fun and funky bar. Look at the stars and try a great house-crafted mixed drink! Neato live music too. They make their own ginger liqueur that they serve in an awesome drink. Can't remember the name of it, but if you ask the bar tender, she will know what you are talking about. Just next to Brooklyn Pizza, which is super good too. Nothing beats pizza at midnight. Because the same folks own both places, you can order your Brooklyn pizza and eat it in the bar. The bar gets its name from the telescopes in the courtyard and the groovy astronomical decor. A Tucson fav! read more

I am a regular at this bar, though I will be moving away from Tucson soon, it will always have a special place in my heart. First of all, it's totally solar-powered and I appreciate it's astronomy-theme unique ambiance. It can often times be a very mellow bar with a great jazz band - for perhaps, a night of dirty martinis and chit chat. Or, on Fridays now, they have a fun DJ set that offers a much more upbeat and active dancing scene. Additionally, this place is great option if you want to read and book a get a latte - it's a mellow cafe by day. As for the bar, there is quite the variety of international brews - but definitely do not come here wanting to sip on a light domestic. Where else can you go get a drink and see Saturn? Neato-burrito! read more

Worst service ever. The bartender got our order wrong and refused to change it. She then threw my credit card at me. Never have I had such bad experience. Don't waste your time or money read more

Cool place. Drinks were cheap, but ambiance was kind of awkward. We felt uncomfortable so we lady after one drink. And there was no places to sit. I was also surprised that there were dogs in the bar. read more

Best ginger ale I've ever had, fresh squeezed ginger and bitters are used..don't be afraid to ask for it extra spicy. Great bloodies and good beer selection if your into that sort of thing. Cheap decent coffee, smoothies and baked goods as well. Love this place during the day, the staff are all wonderful. We look forward to our days in Tucson, mostly thanks to skybar read more

Sky Bar Day = :) nice, they allow dogs (a big +) staff is nice enough, music is hit or miss. Sky Bar Night = watered down drinks (big time), poor bar-tending services, music is again a hit or miss, pool tables are cool though.. I want to like Sky Bar...but the nights there just fall a little too short of a good time read more

Tucson's first and only Solar powered bar/observatory. Off 4th Ave. next door to Brooklyn Pizza (same owner, also solar powered) . Great well ventilated location, atmosphere, staff/service and drinks. Indoor monitors display astronomical images relayed from larger telescope on the roof, while smaller telescopes are available out in the outdoor patio for people share and enjoy. read more

Always loved the place in the past. Not they ding you $1.00 for using plastic. Eek! Methinks not!

Great atmosphere. Order pizza delivered from Brooklyn pizza next door. Great selection of beers on tap and nice patio dining. Also a great stop for a cup o Joe...cheap delicious lattes. read more

They literally have the best bathrooms on 4th! Don't pee anywhere else. So much more spacious and sanitary than other bars' bathrooms. Also they're pretty nerdy and their drinks are really amazing and affordable read more

Not coming back to this place. The "waitress" waved me off the serve a bigger party and never returned. Plus, the music is extent loud. I'm doing something I never do: not tipping the server. read more

I like the atmosphere here, the bartenders are pretty nice and receptive, and the music on the weekends is usually upbeat and can get me moving. The fact that they are solar-powered is great and the images from their telescope are way cool. They could use some better tables and seating in the interior, but overall, it's a nice place to hang out. read more

Advertised on the door that at 4 pm, you need an ID to enter. Arrived at 3:30 to get coffee with my friend who is under 21, and was rudely told by the staff that my friend needs to leave. Telling that staff that it wasn't 4 yet only seemed to aggravate them. If you're gonna advertise something, at least follow it. read more

Loved this Astronomy-themed bar. Go for the drinks and have Dena the mixologist make them. She's amazing! She made drinks I've never even heard of. I love that they have the whole Absinthe setup too. Good vibe, and friendly people here. There are also a couple pool tables if that's your thing. read more

Cheap and I do mean cheap drinks. Interesting atmosphere. Big couches in the lounge area and open to the outside. Great outdoor patio with that telescope, if I ever figure out how to use it. Tey usually have some mad scientist show. Crowd is mostly college, but OG like me can hang. Not sure I like the red cloth pool tables, but hey I'm old school, should be green. Nice place really. I do mean their drinks are very cheap for a bar in this neighborhood. read more

Tony, please contact me. You've got an employee problem, just one, everyone else are angels to me. I'm quiet, not flirtatious, never over-tipsyed, and generous. Is this place a business or Cassandra's private social club? read more

Bartenders nowhere to be found I just wanted a beer, now some chad singing and not very good . If ur over 30 don't expect any kind of service, cater to college kids read more

Fun place, unique atmosphere. No waitress service is a bummer but a good 4th avenue experience . Tried to order the famed LA Water but the one bartender who made it was off and did not share the recipe. Don't go hungry there is no bar food and pizza from the sister pizzeria comes so slow that I think they are harvesting the grain, grinding it per order. Dave read more

I wish there were more solar powered places in Tucson, take advantage of the sun people! Bartenders are a hit or miss, sometimes they are very friendly but other times it's clear they don't want to be there. Bar has a large selection and drinks are moderately priced. You can order Brooklyn pizza from the bar and they deliver the slices to you from next door, pretty convenient! read more

Yay Sky Bar! I'm a frequent visitor of this bar because of it's convenient location on 4th ave. They also happen to have my favorite cocktail in Tucson: the whiskey ginger ale. This cocktail is absolutely amazing because they use their own homemade ginger extract/syrup. It's sweet and spicy and perfect in every way. I also love how you can order pizza from next door- and have in a short amount of time. The bands that play here are always unique and fun and easy to dance to. When we went here last week, we were able to watch the game at a huge table on a giant projector. It was great! read more

I love this bar for several reasons. I love the telescope @ night, I think t hat adds a touch especially since Tucson is known for star gazing and has several observatories. Also I love the fact its solar powered and actually gives extra energy back to the grid..hell yeah!! Cheap booze and cool staff will insure I return. read more

Music is WAY too loud during the day to be a cafe to get studying done. Head up the street to Epic for a more student-friendly atmosphere. Also, they have a horrible selection of drinks for a cafe. For an iced tea (with no refills) its $2.50. What a joke. But this place has great potential, they just need to turn down the music and offer free refills on drinks and they would have my business daily. read more

Awesome prices, good local music, an observatory and you can order pizza! I'm so glad to see Sky Bar instead of all the other places that wouldn't last more than six months. read more

Nice atmosphere. There was one telescope that the guy there tells you what your looking at, how to adjust, etc. He was knowledgeable and nice. I did think there was more than one telescope, but there is only one (at least this past Saturday). I remember reading somewhere that there was more than one telescope and person to talk about the "sky" and what your looking at through the telescope. I think it was a google review. But, overall, cool place. read more

Was there for the fourth avenue street fair, asked for a specific drink and got unnecessary advice with attitude. Walked back through the puke smell out of the bar. Love Brooklyn Pizza though! read more

So this IS one of the places you apparently need to be on a Friday night! The dance party gets so live, it's quite unexpected really. The DJ this past Friday was really on point with most of his track choices although there were a few points where he pulled out some crowd clearers. Regardless, the crowd was pretty awesome. None too drunk and all very happy and I danced my bum off! I'm looking forward to heading back next Friday. read more

Went here with some friends on a Saturday night. I actually went here before reading Yelp reviews. Que the shock! I am glad I ordered simple drinks! I had an amaretto sour. My friends all ordered beers so we didn't have any mix problems. One of the guys decided to get a Long Island. Said it was good. I did think they had the music way too loud, I couldn't even communicate well with my group. But they type of music was good and I appreciated the different vibe hiring a sweet little band nerd to play. Now I just gotta try Brooklyn Pizza...it smelled like all sorts of phenomenal. read more

This is a neat bar! I really enjoyed the atmosphere with the projectors of space pictures. The drinks are made great! They have a couple pool tables which is nice. The blaring dance music starts and that's the perfect time for us to leave. Over all I would go back here, before the dance music begins. read more

Solid drinks all the time especially at happy hour. The bartenders are pretty friendly too. A visit to sky bar never lacks entertainment, especially if you go on a night when the telescopes are out. read more

This is definitely one of the nicer looking bars in Tucson. The drinks are very good and the service has always been great. It is hard to find seating if you come later which can be annoying but that's nothing they can control. I do like the live music most of the time but sometimes there are pretty bizarre excessively loud bands playing which can be annoying. Other than that though it's great. read more

I like this bar, but for some reason I just can't love it. They always have good beer on tap- but the entertainment is never really anything I am interested in. I prefer to sit outside and people watch on 4th. Even though its not my fav, it is one of my prefered bars on 4th. read more

This place is great and happy hour prices are perfect. The patio is fun. I only wish there was more seating.
