    [[HIGHLIGHT]]The ambience was amazing.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]So many options for food and seating.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We had an interaction with an employee at Daddy Burger that really put me off. I hope we didn't interrupt his conversation by being there. The rest of our interactions were pleasant and the food was amazing.

    Drinks, food, music, and a crowd. What more can you ask for located in Tucson on fourth Avenue this little spot is great. Plenty of choices of food to choose from different bars all serving up some amazing drinks one of the great ones. The Tucson Gatorade is a must try.. No The music be blasting all the greatest songs from new school to old school. I'm sure everyone will find something either to eat or drink and enjoy.

    Great spot for happy hour drinks in downtown Tucson when the weather is nice outside! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Love the laid back outdoor seating, quick service, and they have several different food options (Burgers, Vietnamese, & Mexican).[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]It reminds me of those food truck stops, however they are all housed in shipping containers instead.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Our first time trying this place, out of curiosity. We came on a Sunday night with my family, it's not crowded, which is a good thing. Getting a table was not a hassle. It's a food court concept and the booths are made out of shipping containers, which is really cool. At the time of my visit there are two bars that are open and Indian, Mexican, Vietnamese and pizza place that are open. There's pretty much good selection. It's pretty much for the younger generation, they have music playing on the background. I like the fact they check for ID if you're planning to drink alcoholic beverages, as you enter the place. Just don't expect a clean restroom, so you won't get disappointed.

    It's Britney, Betch

    Had some Mexican food here and I was truly disappointed. Greasy and expensive not mention terrible salsa. Never again Box Yard.

    Ask the Community - The Boxyard

    Can kids come in?

    Yes

    Can Boxyard hold large group for example A party of 30?

    It's a very large space and could comfortably hold that many people in one party, but when we were there on a Saturday afternoon, there wasn't a single seat open for even just two of us to sit.

    Are they dog friendly?

    Yes. I have never had my dogs there but I've seen people with theirs.

    Does anyone know if they have a good selection of non-spicy foods?

    I think so. Most of the spices/sauces are on the side

    I'm happy to have finally gotten a chance to visit Unicorn Zebra since it's been on my list from…read morethe time they opened. It's a fun and also elegant atmosphere with the zebra theme clearly exemplified across the space. I would have to say this is one of the coziest bars I've been to, the furniture and seating is really supportive of a long-term visit. There are other levels, lower and an upper level besides the main space, but be aware that if there are parties, they can typically take up different areas. Our bartender, Sarah was fantastic! The way that she handled all of the guests and the busy field was incredible, so calm and collected, and furthermore making some really incredible drinks. Heads up that the online drink menu is not the current drink menu, I couldn't remember all the names of our drinks and put those in the photo captions, so when I checked on the website, the menu was showing something different other than what I saw at the bar. Out of several places I've been to, I'd say the mixture of flavors and details in the drinks are quite unique. I'll be back for more one day

    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.

    My girlfriend and I first tried coming here about three weeks ago for brunch, but there was a…read more45-minute wait, so we decided to come back another time. One thing that stood out during that first visit was the hostess. Since the restaurant is located inside a hotel and can be a little difficult to find, I expected a more welcoming introduction or at least some confirmation that we were in the right place. Instead, the interaction felt a bit awkward and impersonal. We returned a few weeks later (07/12/26) and happened to be greeted by the same hostess. Unfortunately, the experience was very similar. She asked how many people were in our party, I said two, and then she simply looked at her computer without saying much else. Another employee eventually came over and escorted us to our table. Throughout both visits, she never came across as particularly friendly or welcoming. As the first person guests interact with, I think a hostess sets the tone for the entire experience, so this was disappointing. On a more positive note, our waitress was very kind and attentive throughout the meal. The service once we were seated was definitely better than the initial impression. As for the food, it wasn't bad, but it also wasn't anything special, especially considering the price. Overall, it felt pretty average for what we paid. The ambiance was fine, but nothing particularly memorable. Overall, the experience was okay, but between the lack of hospitality at the front and the food being average for the price, I'm not sure I would go out of my way to come back.

    What didn't go well here?? Everything I have ever eaten is delish. Chilaquiles, their potatoes,…read more brioche French toast with bacon and blueberries! Their vegan sopes were also very good!
