Rooftop bar/restaurant at The Graduate Hotel. Amazing views and great drinks! A little pricey and the food is just okay. Feels like paying mostly for the ambiance. Service is great and very attentive! Besides the price it is a great experience. read more

We had the elote toast and nachos, which were both good! Strange that the nachos didn't come with salsa and that they actually charge $3 for a side of it. The drinks from their happy hour menu were incredible. The service was a bit slow, but everyone was super friendly which made up for it. I'm excited to go back especially for the ambiance and view. read more

Waited about 5 minutes on a Friday night to get a table outside on the rooftop and it was worth it. Loved the views! Ordered the desert rose cocktail with the poached shrimp aguachile appetizer. The desert rose cocktail was kind of sour & not as good as I hoped but looked pretty with the strawberry! Shrimp aguachile was fresh and delicious. Service was okay...our waitress wasn't super attentive but understood she got busy towards the end. Still recommend checking out this bar if you stay at the Graduate...super convenient for guests! read more

We had the best server ever - Gary! He made sure our glasses were full. We attended the Iconic Cocktails bar takeover and had a blast. They have the fans on outdoors but they were blowing a little too strong. We had chips and salsa which came with guacamole as well. The serving was pretty big and I was able to share with my table of 5. Drinks are pricey ($12) but it's the views for me. Parking can be found on Tyndall Ave or you can do valet parking as well. Highly recommend getting a room at the graduate, they're super cute and full of photo ops! read more

The Moonstone rooftop bar has commanding views of downtown Tucson and the surrounding mountains, and it's a beautiful way to watch sunset from a distinct vantage. Service was a little dull, for a weeknight, and it would be great to hear a live musician or more modern tunes up there, but it's hard to beat the setting for sipping happy-hour drinks and watching the sun turn the Catalinas to brilliant gold. read more

Well the only good thing about this place is the view. You are paying Austin prices in Tucson. I got their under seasoned burger and the sage drink (sage drink was actually quite good), a Caesar salad and a rebranded AMF. For 2 drinks and 2 entrees which weren't that good I spend $80. I say all of this under bad service and tons of security. It's not worth any of it. You are paying to be on a rooftop not because the food is good. read more

Second time back. Was here the first night of the grand opening and it's still so beautiful. It was windy so the sections outside were closed. There are sections outside with fire pits. As well as high tops. All sections give a beautiful panoramic view of the beautiful Tucson. The staff was nice! The security was tight and wanted to make sure it is a safe time. The rules are clear. 21+, no vaping/smoking, masks when walking around, no mask when seated, & no groups over 6/8 The adult Capri sun was delicious. They have a wine and beer selection. Two specialty drinks $25+ total. Kitchen closes at 10p. read more

Great rooftop bar on top of The Graduate Hotel. Fabulous views of Tucson. They have a very limited food menu, as well as a few specialty drinks. 3-4 fire pit areas, as well as several individual tables along the perimeter outside that all have the great view. The interior is very cool and has large open glass doors for an outdoor feel inside. Fun place to come enjoy cocktails! read more

I love this place, I'd come here every weekend if I could! The view from the rooftop is lovely at sunset. Very comfortable seating on the patio with fire pits and comfort seating inside as well. And very nice cozy decor. Staff is all very lovely. The menu for cocktails is very interesting and I've never had a bad drink there! Just beware, it is quite windy on the rooftop with strong fans and misters to keep cool! read more

My boyfriend and I went to The Moonstone for the on the 4th of July. We were nervous because it was a busy holiday. We were able to find a spot at the bar and was immediately served. The servers were not only efficient but they were so kind! The drinks we ordered were amazing and well made. We ended up ordering food and the number one thing I would recommend is the Elotes cheese bread! We will be coming back again when it gets colder out to experience their outdoor patio and fire pits! read more

Beautiful view! Nice rooftop bar for Tucson. We went to watch the sunset. I wish they had more on the menu food wise, but the drinks are good. I had the adult carpisun and it was delicious! I took my niece (they allow kids before 10pm). She had a Shirley Temple. The waitresses were very nice. They have indoor and outdoor seating. We were able to grab a couch outside. We also had the birria nachos and a quesadilla. The quesadilla was good. I wasn't impressed with the birria nachos. The toppings were not too warm when they got to us. And The chips were thin and got soggy fast. Nice vibe, ambience and drinks. read more

Here lies a new, hip, and fresh face to show up for Tucson!! Now, if only they met their own potential! Moonstone offers a unique experience that is rare in Tucson.. dining & drinks with a chill/hip atmosphere, and, not to mention, a view overlooking the heart of town like no other.. One would think, wow, now that we have this, why go anywhere else?!? Well, the unfortunate part, is that, when it comes down to it, menus are lacking a bit. . . . The options are somewhat interesting, but, places like Sidecar, and even a rebuilt-turned-into Jackrabbit Lounge, offer more, let alone more interesting options for cocktails.., and the food pairings too, are unfortunately underwhelming, limited, and expensive, as are the drinks.. What I wish for, for a place as beautiful as this, that has so much to offer, is to actually offer more. I could totally see the potential here, and see this place take off and keep people coming back, with a little extra love... perhaps involvement in curating a more unique menu maybe w/ a local in-house chef who could add real innovative/creativity and flare ?.. even the hotel has such creativity!! And with a city like Tucson, that has lots to offer with food and food culture, one would think it's not too difficult to be inspired of what we have to offer here in the southwest!!! For me, there are options that offer more elsewhere in town, and it will undoubtedly be something that others could too get tired of, it the menu is too simple and doesn't switch up with new options from time to time at the minimum.. something that embodies a menu as unique as the unique views & atmosphere, would really set this place up well for owners and locals alike, and give neighboring spots a run for their money! I hope for the best for Moonstone! And hope for more, so that I can see myself here more, especially if it means spending more $$. read more

John Feather was a great bartender and deserves a raise. So kind! He made me feel way better about ordering wine at a bar

I've been to the Moonstone several times; it is a good place to take out of town guests because of the vibe and view. During the Christmas holidays, I took my guests there. One initial problem that continues on is that there isn't really an organized way to sign up for an outside seating area. You have to tell a waitstaff person and then YOU have to keep an eye out that when someone leaves, someone else doesn't just try and sit down at the seating you have waited for. I've always felt that Moonstone does charge a lot for cocktails but again, you are paying for a fun place to be. However, when I went to pay, the waitress told me the total - I was not given a bill - which I thought was high but one person ordered a snack and I think two people had two drinks. The waitress hands me her device to sign and it first showed the tip area but with low percentages like 7%. It was not until AFTER I got the paper bill that I realized that I had been charged 20% because there were six of us. First, it's a bar, not a restaurant so, to me, that's out of line. Second, it doesn't say that on the menu (I checked) and the waitstaff said nothing. Moonstone has an obligation to tell people with larger parties that bit of information. No wonder the bill seemed large AND I had added on to that. I did call and was given the Moonstone manager's voicemail. He called me back - hours later - and I couldn't take the call. He left a message. So I again called but, this time, I got the general Moonstone voicemail. I left a message and no one called me back. So consider this a public service that I'm doing so that people out there will not be surprised and disappointed as I am. I would certainly think twice before I went there again. read more

My go to place for a relaxing environment, a satisfying drink, and the best view in Tucson!

Located at the top of The Graduate Hotel. For the view, location and ambiance this place deserves at least 4 stars. As for food and service consider it average. It's a bar with overpriced bar food. Nevertheless what a cool spot to stop and have a sunset drink with your pals read more

This place has a breathtaking view. Located in the graduate hotel this spot can't be more beautiful. The bar is on the roof top next to the pool. It has plenty of seating , outdoor patio and 2 swingy chairs to snuggle and drink. Their micheladas were amazing! They offered several other types of drinks as well and reasonably priced. The service was amazing on a Sunday afternoon. Taylor our bartender was super friendly and knowledgeable with drink options and choices. If you haven't already you have to try their Capri sun version of an adult beverage $13. But great choice for a nostalgic drink. Perfect for a date or out with friends read more

The views and the patio is awesome! If you are going for the food, don't! Is not great and not mentioning the service was horrible. We were a party of 12 and we had a struggle to get our waitress to our table. They bring our food and 15 min later the utensils. Ordering drinks was a 20 min. Before we got one. 5 waitresses for a little space! No reason for not good service. read more

It's as if Urban Outfitters had a roof top bar. The cultural appropriation is palpable. The bar is full of hanging dream catchers (dream catchers aren't even from the southwestern tribes) and other knock off Indigenous designs. It's giving very much Dior Sauvage Johnny Depp and 818 Tequila Kendal Jenner commercial ascetic. It's 2021. Who thought this was a good idea? Smh. read more

Went to the Moonstone visiting the Tucson AZ area for work and wanted to chill at a pretty rooftop bar that also had food. The security guard was kind of weird and that's why I'm giving this place 4/5 stars. However on the upside the service was good. The ambiance was really nice, and had breathtaking views of Tucson and it was a perfect night to have drinks and dinner by the fire. I ordered the Cobb salad which is probably one of the bear Cobb salads I've had and the portion was huge. My friend had the chicken caprese, which was flavorful. Price point for food was moderately priced. The wine selection wasn't the best and they sold a glass of La Marcca Prosecco for $12 which if you're a wine person you'd know that this was way overpriced, especially coming from CA, and also being a wine connoisseur. My friend and I lyfted here so not sure about the parking situation. Overall, great experience minus the security guard and wine selection! read more

I've been here twice. Views are amazing. Food is good. Unfortunately they got rid of their hummus dish. It would be great if they would expand the menu beyond Mexican food since every place in Tucson serves Mexican and the hummus was a nice alternative. Can get crowded on the weekend, so if you don't want to wait, try a weekday during lunch. read more

The manager is very rude. Food was subpar and the service was horrible. Not a great experience - I was visiting from out of town and I wanted to like this place. Front desk staff was really great; it's a shame the rooftop bar was so bad. read more

Rooftop gem inside the Graduate hotel with outdoor fire chats and eclectic and comfortable indoor seating. Great for groups. The bartender was friendly and made great drinks. We didn't try the food but what we saw in passing looked appetizing. Clientele were dressed up., great ambiance and service. The views are spectacular. Like out the door on a weekend We found the staff friendly and accommodating. Like the rest of the Graduate, the decor was over the top incredible. It's hard not to have a great time there. read more

I've been here several times and it's a cool environment. The views are amazing, the staff is attentive, and the drinks are good, but pricey. The food is OK. In croweded Mexican food market the chips & salsa and nachos were alright. The staff is friendly and very capable. They have a limited inventory with the small amount of space they cannot carry a lot of inventory. I ordered a Hendrix gin and club soda with a cucumber. The bar tender made a cool cut cucumber for me. It was a cool looking comliment to the drink. Cool bar with a great view. read more

The View is Amazing! The layout, seating, and decor are all trendy with a throw back nostalgia feeling. The service was great! Chris E. Was our bartender and he was personable, attentive, and helped us move tables without making a fuss. You are 100% paying for the view. The drinks were good, but a bit pricey and the Same is true for the food. We all had burgers and they were good but not great. The chips that came on the side were the best thing about it. The food and drink menus had limited options but they do seem to have a full bar so you can order off menu items. I'm hoping that they will try to get a few more local beers on the menu in the future. read more

Absolutely must visit The Moonstone if you're in town! I had the Tres Leches and Elote Cheesy Bread....10/10.

In the heat of summer after schools already started and in off peak season: Every single outdoor view table is taken at almost 1030 when I've come here by myself to eat to enjoy the view of Tucson as ive never been and am traveling solo for a cross country move. They need to re-organize their space so that they can accommodate more single people because it's incredibly singles unfriendly right now. Plus I'm handicapped so I had to walk a couple blocks there in pain just to find out that I couldn't find any place to sit with a view on a Tuesday night near food order cutoff time simply because they've used the entire outdoor rooftop space for about 6-8 giant dining tables. Don't waste your time coming here unless you feel like wasting your time completely . read more

Come for the view and enjoy a really expensive drink or two. View is great. Drinks are fine. Service is fine, but slow. Made the mistake of getting chips and salsa, and I can honestly say it was the worst salsa I've ever had. I think it was Pace picante sauce put in a blender to smooth it out. Absolutely terrible, to the point of being funny. I'll go back for the great view, but will never order food there again. That actually seems to be the common consensus of the other reviews I've read too. read more
