Sister Bar to "batch", snake and barrel is located downstairs in the basement. I love the vibe/ambience/decor. Their selection of whiskeys is not as much as their sister Bar upstairs, "batch", but they still have a large selection. In addition to whiskey, they also serve other cocktails. Ryan was our bartender and made us the "rock you", which is a rum cocktail and "Vert der ferk". Unfortunately, our drinks were not that great. They definitely were strong, But they did not taste good at all

It's quite a pleasant surprise that Batch is hiding its best work underground. While I found their flagship bar to have middling cocktails, they more than make up for this with a side project focused on a formidable menu of witty names. What I had: Pinche Fresa--Excellent blend of gin and strawberry. I love gin, and I generally lean toward the herbal or flowery varieties, but this is a stellar example of showcasing gin's more citrusy side. Sweet and brilliant. Rock You-- it featured overproof rum and passion fruit liqueur, reminiscent of everything I would crave on a warm beach getaway. Service is prompt and comfortable--I don't think this place has been around that long, but it feels like they've been at it for a long time. Seating is intimate, with an array of small tables illuminated with individual lamps. They have a ways to go with filling out the walls and really giving the place some character, but it still feels hip and exclusive. Come here for date night or when you want a fun cocktail!

Snake & Barrel is one of the hidden gems that I take all my visitors to in Tucson for great cocktails. I feel like I found an inner circle, I am a sucker for speakeasies and this location seems to be hidden on most maps. The interior is dark, cozy, and romantic with dim lighting and green velvet chairs. I've ordered drinks on and off the menu that have all been exceptional. My favorite is La Serpiente but you also can't go wrong with an extra dirty martini. On the weekends, there is sometimes a wait to go down when they are at capacity, but it is never too long.

Awesome speakeasy underneath Batch with a great group of bartenders. Looking for a relaxing environment with a unique cocktail? This is the spot.

I would've given this place 5 stars but the service we had was not the best the evening we visited. The drinks were good and the place has a really cool vibe, though. I would definitely go back.

This review is for Batch but I have been to both Batch and Snake & Barrel and my review would still be 5 stars for both. Batch is the cocktail lounge branded to have Arizona's largest whiskey collection. Snake & Barrel, also a part of Batch is their downstairs lounge ( with a speakeasy feel) . In both locations you can expect knowledgeable mixologists who concoct amazing drinks. Batch has a happy hour and on weekends they have donuts ... and if we are being honest... bourbon and donuts is a match made in spirit.

Four of us came here last Saturday night. I love the ambiance and lighting in this new underground bar. The bartenders were really friendly. Unfortunately, I didn't like most the drinks I tried. I didn't like the Rock You, Purple Drink or Vert der ferk (although my friend liked this one). The Shut It, Karen was the only one that was ok.

Pinche Fresca and La Serpiente
Tiffany F.

The atmosphere here is AMAZING. Love the decor. It's a cozy, yet sexy vibe. Great music.. not too loud. You can actually have a conversation with the person sitting next to you without screaming at them. The cocktails are out of this world. I HIGHLY recommend the La Serpiente if you like a little bit of spice in your cocktail. It has the PERFECT amount of heat without being overpowering. They have fantastic gin cocktails as well. The Pinche Fresca was so refreshing! The bartenders are really friendly and the service was great. This is probably my new favorite place in Tucson. We will definitely be back!

Come for the cocktails and speak-easy ambiance, stay for the awesome staff and comfy chairs! A must stop location for a quality cocktail after dinner or to start your night out. Get there early if you want a seat, as it's a fairly small venue compared to others in the area.

I love this place. The atmosphere, the comfortable seating, attentive staff, and tasty drinks are all reasons I keep going back here. You can't go wrong with this place, you are sure to have a good time in a nice relaxed atmosphere that isn't overly crowded as the door man will only let in so many people at a time. Very clean and well maintained.

One star for Luke, (if Luke wasn't his name, he lied about his name) the rudest, biggest bully I have ever had the dissatisfaction of being served by. And for sure the rudest person I met in my trip to Tucson. This man went so far out of his way to be rude to me and my 2 friends. I came for a drink 9/7 at night. After he was so rude to us, he walked away, then spoke to another customer rudely. I wanted to stay but he seemed so angry, I finished my delicious drink and left. He seemed mad enough to start a fight. The "bouncer" seemed angry to.

I'm in love! Found this bar in a whim. We were walking to our car and seen the door open & the bouncer gave us a little intro so we decided to check it out. Very welcoming right away! Customers recommended drinks and the bartender was very passionate about his craft and got very excited when my husband complimented the salt. The ambiance and aesthetic is dark but cute. I loved the emerald green chairs. The perfect date/girls night spot!

Empty

Came at 12pm and the security said that it was over capacity. We stood there for 10mins while he said we had to wait until someone left. He then decided to let us in. As to our shock, the place was empty. Please look at this picture. He also told the other party after us the same thing. I totally get the roudy club crowd but neither our group or the group after us was that. You are loosing a lot of business with your security guy. This was the second time this happened on back to back weekends.

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

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!

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.

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.

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.

Located downtown, your best bet is finding some street parking (which is free after a certain hour). Ambiance (3.5/5): Hint hint: Tough Luck Club is located in the basement of Reilly's Craft Pizza. Since Reilly is so large, it's not easy to find. Go through the restaurant, get on the patio, and look for a stairwell. Once you get down there, you'll see several seats at the bar and some booths. I sat at one of the booths. Service (4/5): You order at the bar. Since it was a Tuesday, I was alone for part of my visit and there with a handful of people for the rest. I had to grab the bartender's attention several times, but when I was able to get ahold of him, he was friendly and efficient. Food (N/A): I had dinner prior and I don't believe they have food anyways. You can order food at Reilly's though and bring it down yourself. Drinks (4/5): When I'm at a speakeasy, I look for a creative list of craft cocktails that have interesting flavor profiles and ingredients. Tough Luck Club has a nice menu which gives a solid description of each one. The sophistication isn't quite there but they're fun. One is Game of Thrones-themed. One is kind of like a snow cone with flavored ice on top. Fun for sure. There are a good number of speakeasies in downtown Tucson. Glad I was able to cross this one off the list!
