Sorry! We don't have any recommendations for Tucson right now.
The majority of Tucson's bars and clubs, many with live music or a DJ, are clustered along Congress Street Downtown and on 4th Avenue. A proliferation of craft breweries and gastropubs pour local brews in this district. In addition, most of the major resorts have late spots for drinks or dancing. The Westward Look Resort's Lookout Bar, with its expansive view and classic rock band on Friday and Saturday nights, is popular for dancing. The bars at Westin La Paloma, Hacienda del Sol, and Loews Ventana have live acoustic music on weekends.
The city's main venue for cutting-edge bands and singer-songwriters, Club Congress has a mixed-bag crowd of alternative rockers, international travelers, young professionals, and college kids. There is live indie rock and folk/roots during the week, while Friday and Saturday nights bring more rock and dance parties.
Hear some of the best local talent play folk-rock, blues, and jazz Wednesday to Saturday nights and during weekend brunch hours at this eclectic restaurant and bar in the courtyard of Old Town Artisans. Sit under the stars and order from the late-night menu until midnight on Friday and Saturday. If you feel like performing as well as listening, head indoors to the adjacent Dusty Monk, where you can belt out your favorite tunes at the piano bar.
Four distinct spaces at this popular bar offer something for everyone—everyone who likes a modern, urban vibe, that is. The spacious rooftop deck has a DJ and dancing most nights. Downstairs, the sleek, minimalist bar, with large-screen TVs and happy-hour specials, has occasional live music. Check out the intimate covered rear patio for quieter conversation, or see and be seen on the front patio along Congress Street.
