What a place. One car out front...Google said it was open. One couple and another few before we arrived. Excellent service. Jim Morrison I believe would of loved it too. An easy place to double fist if desired. Tucson's finest. I was the DD but that doesn't mean I stayed on the wagon. Mentally I went back in time. I did that because I made a promise to myself and a judge in Green Valley. Our bartender was spot on. Frozen shot and margarita glasses were poured from a horseshoe decorated labled golden brown Reposda decanter. The crowd arrived as individuals and couples The music beat increased with that fab 4 Paul, Ringo John and George jamming. AC was working. A great place to dodge the sun cool off and build your courage up. Ice cold water hit the spot too and it seems like she calculated the bill wrong for it was a super bargain. Thanks goes to the woman pouring with parents from two countries she ran an orchestra.. Good job. I was able to open the door for a beautiful patron on the way out & turn around to ensure the door kept the cold in.

St.Patrick's Day is Already Happening Here in Tucson at this 1960's Why Fix it if it Ain't Broke Tucson Dive Bar. Gimme Shelter. Come on in anytime after 3 pm to sit at the horseshoe bar or in an original booth. Come as you are and order your drinks to take to your table. Just wish they would start the Irish music sooner than later. Tip real good despite the $3-5 buck drinks for Your Lucky Charm.

Best bar in Tucson. Like stepping back into a hip era of beverage enjoyment. Great cocktails, service, and the atmosphere is unlike anywhere else. Try the house infused custom cocktails.

First visit to Tucson from north Texas. Loved this funky old school bar. Turns out much of the decor is original and loved the lighting fixtures. Separate and enclosed smoking room! The staff was super helpful and got busy on a Monday night. Don't forget to get your free bumper sticker! Hope to return to Tucson so I can visit again!

Gays do go there, as well as business people, blue-collar, and all in between. It's a cool, 60s themed place where all are welcomed.

Hi Leonard! We like to say we're an everyone bar. But no not a gay bar like you're thinking. You can try IBT's on 4th Ave or maybe ask Google for some others. Have a great weekend!
