    I was staying at the Hilton across the street and came in for a nightcap. Enjoyed my visit there a lot. Service was great as well as the drinks. Nice selection of spirits. Laid back place, fun to unwind here.

    A fantastic spot for excellent cocktails and attentive service. Perfect for a date or hanging out with friends.

    Drink menu! The names are hilarious!

    What a unique experience! I've been to a lot of creative and funky bars but, Unicorn Zebra is perhaps my favorite! Not only is it quirky, hip and original with a retro-mid century animal-safari theme, the service and drinks we had were outstanding! Plus, it's locally owned. The prices are comparable to what you'd pay for big city cocktails but, they are totally worth it. I tried the Zebra's G&T and it was in a huge glass, tasting floral, herbaceous and delicious! I was jealous of our friend's drink, the "XX me under the Zebra skull" because the glass was so much fun, a Zebra head! The atmosphere transports you to an exotic location, making it feel like you're on vacation in a far away place. The main bar has windows in the floor viewing the rental space below, which is immediately eye catching and jaw dropping! Unicorn Zebra is also a boutique hotel with beautifully designed rooms, priced at similar higher end spots in town. My husband, friends, and I have already decided on coming back for a group happy hour! I highly recommend this creative local spot.

    Wonderful ambiance and lot of wines and cocktails to choose from!! we came on a very busy night and had to wait a bit for drinks. I'd love to come back another night and take advantage of the ambience upstairs.

    We attended their Ugly Christmas Sweater Party last Saturday and had a fantastic time. I absolutely love the concept of themed events like this at a bar--it creates such a fun atmosphere and makes it easier to meet new people. As for the cocktails, the Unicorn Fluff had a slight bitterness but was still okay. The Flaming Horn started sour and ended bitter, while the Emerald Elixir and Gleeful Grinch were both sour but just average overall. While I'm not completely sold on their cocktails, the vibe and the holiday party definitely made it a memorable night!

    Hidden "speak easy" style bar in downtown Tucson! Very small and intimate. When we went everyone was sitting at the bar but there are tables available for larger groups. Bartenders/barbacks were friendly, we were told they were remodeling the upstairs (previous) hotel into air b and bs. What a fun concept to stay in an air b and b and have the convenience of mixologists down below.

    Amazing cocktails and a chill vibe, the space is cozy but lovely and the service was great.

    the Flaming horn, beautiful and tasty!

    What a great addition to the downtown Tucson scene. Stopped in on the way back from the Tucson Meet Yourself festival. What a cozy space to enjoy a craft cocktail. Although he said he's not a huge fan of the word mixologist, Max, the genius behind the bar is far more than just a bartender. If you tell him your preferences, he'll create a drink you're sure to love using their premium spirits and infusions. The space itself is warm and welcoming with lots of windows that look out to the street and make for great people watching. There's even an upstairs area if you want a more private space for a conversation. There are some light snack type of food options such as cheese, olives and cured meats that are a staple in South Africa, which is where the owner is from and plays prominently in the theme and decor.

    Nice bar downtown near the convention center with a great vibe and tasty beverages. The bartender was friendly and helpful even when it was a little busy. Plenty of space to sit on the 1st or second floor and didn't get loud with I was there. On my second visit, the bartender even remembered my drink of choice :-)

    LOVE LOVE LOVE this place. Easily in my top 3 for cocktail bars in Tucson. We went to a few bars before having dinner at Charro Steak and this place has been on my list since they opened. We came on a Saturday around when they opened, and there was only one other couple at the bar. Super cute decor and ambience. Love all the plants here. The bartender was fantastic. They have a really cute upstairs lounge area too. We decided to sit at the bar, but will definitely be back and spend some time up there. My husband opted for the Viper and I for the Dirty Zebra. Loved both of them.

    I finally got to try this place out with some friends and was excited to see a new business in Tucson. We came to this location around 6:30 and it was slightly full. The vibe is very chill, dimmed, lighting, with tea, light candles on the small tables. There isn't a lot of seating for large crowds, so I would recommend only coming here with a group of, four, no more than six people. Their cocktails are pretty good. A friend and I both got the espresso martini and one of the bartenders/servers let me taste. The Coco missal before it was added to my drink. The martini was good, however, I wish it had more coffee flavoring, as the ML was a little overpowering. The rest of our group got various cocktails and were happy with those, especially the white dove. They are very good about stopping around and refilling water which I appreciated. Overall cool new establishment in Tucson and would be a great place for a small group or intimate date night outing.

    Fun new South African themed cocktail bar! Beautiful setting and decor, great service, unusual but yummy drinks, and tasty snacks. We had 2 drinks each and shared a cheese and cracker tray. Would highly recommend if you are heading downtown, to the TCC or the Ronstadt Music Hall (walkable to/from all).

    I will say without hesitation that Juniper serves the best cocktails in Tucson. Maybe not even just…read moreTucson--this is the best of the best you can find through the entirety of Southern Arizona! These drinks are innovative, thoughtful, and aesthetically pleasing in a way that leaves you excited for more and expands one's idea of a well-made libation. Inspired by a medley of global flavors, Juniper started off as a side project from a local brewery and unexpectedly exploded into a swanky hangout with zero seats left open on weekend nights. Yes, virtually everything on the menu is gin-based. But that shouldn't scare you away! Gin is essentially a neutral spirit infused with botanicals and/or citrus, so if you had a bad experience with one brand, there will be another out there you'll fall in love with. Elliott, the General Manager of the bar, elevates the passionate curation of his menu to perfection. Here are some examples of what you might fall in love with: Balzy Maracuya: A 'maracuya' is a passion fruit beverage originating from South America. In this drink, fruity flavors are enhanced with popping boba filled with balsamic vinegar. Botanist: Upscale gin and tonic with thyme, rosemary, and star anise. Cronus Punch: Rum punch lovers will be blown away by the rare sighting of clarified gin On special ocassions, you'll find limited edition items like gin sorbet affogatos and horchata martinis. At the turn of each new year, there's a menu rotation that may sadly remove some of my faves. But here, at Juniper I can guarantee two things: Something uniquely enjoyable, and a gracious staff that will be happy to explain the intricacies of lesser-known spirits on the shelf. In 2026, I predict it will remain one of Tucson's hottest cocktail hangouts.

Super cute bar amazing staff from the point of check-in to the bar. Mainly cocktails, beer and wine. You might see a couple of small plates of nuts or olives nothing major.

No questions asked the owner/manager even said, "The bar is probably better place to sit! " Awesome night out thank you so much. This was a treat!

I was disappointed that I didn't hear more Christmas music, but I guess I should've went to the Charlie Brown Christmas show for that. The performers were extremely talented, and the host did a good job too. I got a hot chocolate, which was okay, as well as the mixed nuts, which were also okay. My large party also tried the popcorn, and it was a bit stale. I was saddened to see that there are no longer charcuterie boards on the menu, leaving only and truly "small bites" that don't really hit the spot. The chocolate covered pretzels were the only thing I ate, which I would order again. I really like the century room , I just hope they make revisions to the menu to really make it the whole experience!
