The Yummiest Wine Bars in Tucson

Perche’ No Italian Bistro

★★★★☆ 4.4 (182) • $$

"3 great dishes at our table. Short rib tortellini , pork chop, and fish. Excellent service. Great downtown atmosphere."

Queen Of Cups

★★★★★ 5 (4)

"When I think of Queen of Cups, I think of a wonderful place to gather with loved ones while getting excellent service and feeling part of their work-family when you talk to the owners/employees. Emmett and Lily sure know how to make all their customers feel right at home and it's obvious how much everyone appreciates their hospitality. Queen of Cups is my favorite place for small bites and wine when I am in Patagonia. I miss the rotating menu they used to offer but now that they are in full swing with it being a winery, I love that they still have appetizers to pair with all the delicious wines they make. While they most definitely knew how to throwdown some delicious food, I can appreciate that their focus is on wine because I have been to almost ever winery between Sonoita and Elgin and while I have a few favorites, Queen of Cups if the only winery I have ever been to where every single wine they put out is nothing short of excellent (including white wines, and I used to be a red wine only gal). To say that Queen of Cups is one of the best wineries I have ever been to would be an understatement. I have so many good memories with friends and family over meals, wine beer & cocktails shared both at the bar and their adorable outdoor patio. They no longer serve beer/cocktails but those were nothing short of amazing while they lasted. Definitely stop by for a wine tasting, you will not be disappointed. What an amazing little gem in the lovely town of Patagonia."

Tuk Tuk Thai - Ventana

★★★★☆ 3.6 (60) • $$

"The service is always very friendly. We usually go in a large group and order many different dishes and share everything. My favorite is the calamari and the yellow curry with chicken. They have a drink special 2/$5 highnoons. The portion sizes are large and there's usually plenty of food to also take home."

Firebirds Wood Fired Grill

★★★★☆ 3.8 (659) • $$

"I was at the Apple Store handling some repairs on my AirPod Max. Wanted a good steak and I came here for the ribeye Cajun style. It was awesome, perfectly rare, totally tender and deliciously seasoned. I got the deviled eggs and they had pieces of bacon and pepper in them and they were amazing as well a nice whiskey to wash it down and I had an amazing meal. It was totally worth what I paid for it."

Wine Down Lounge

★★★★★ 4.8 (12)

"We had a great time at Wine Down! My teacher friends and I celebrated this Friday with great food, wine and lots of laughs. Do yourself a favor and support our local businesses. You will not regret stopping by this place."

Oak & Fork

★★★★☆ 4.2 (94) • $$

"This is THE place to eat at Ak-chin. Nice listing of wine and spirits. Everything is à la cart and delicious. The tacos and surf and turf were absolutely excellent. and my father loved the tempura shrimp. We also had their Thanksgiving special, which was enough food to feed a small army. They gave you all the sides, including light and dark turkey meat. Along with the delicious pumpkin cheesecake for dessert. It wasn't cheap at over $50 a person but it was actually well worth it. The side salad alone they gave you could've been a standalone meal. This will definitely be on my shortlist upon return. The staff is also absolutely amazing."

Casa Marana Craft Beer + Wine

★★★★☆ 3.7 (89) • $$

"Finally made it around to Casa Marana with some friends and it's honestly such a nice vibe! They do a great job decorating for the holidays and it was pleasant to see a lot of seating for groups, but also a lot of space to play their games. Speaking of games, they've got some really fun ones: beer pong, ping pong, darts, miniature shuffleboard, pool, and a bunch of board games! I think the best thing is that you can bring in food to eat while you drink and be merry!"

Craft, A Modern Drinkery

★★★★☆ 4.3 (43)

"I popped in here because it happens to be super close to my house, so I had no expectations. I think the vibe is charming. I love the video games at the tables, not because I have any experience or interest in video games myself but because it's a great idea and implies a certain nerd clientele that I feel at home in. I started going to trivia with a friend for a couple months and had a nice time.I'm gluten-free, but I was pleased to find that there are plenty of cider options, both on tap and in the fridge. I like that there is an eatery in the same building, and I love their Italian salad. I keep meaning to try the gluten-free pizza crust, but the salad is too good.The thing that keeps me from going there more often, particularly during high traffic times, is the lack of mask policy, or even a mask recommendation. I'm especially unnerved by the fact that none of the bartenders I've met wear masks, and that's a highly communicative position that I'd be most worried about, both for their sake and mine.The other thing that makes me a bit nuts is that I don't think their menu pricing and their final bills align. I mean, check out that "itemized receipt.""

Kokopelli's Restaurant

★★★☆☆ 2.7 (64) • $$

"New dinner menu is delicious and staff is very friendly. The ambience is similar to a sports bar so casual and easy going"

Grapeables Fine Wines

★★★★☆ 4.2 (56) • $$

"Really had a great first visit here. Chatted with lots of locals, enjoyed some excellent meatballs, drank almost an entire bottle of Sauvignon Blanc, and found a great bottle of wine to take home."

Three Canyon Beer and Wine Garden

★★★★☆ 3.7 (177) • $$

"Great outdoor garden in North Tucson. Good selection of beer and wine with food menu of typical bar places. Live music in garden on weekends (with $5 cover pp). Older crowd ... lots of pink shorts and Tommy Bahama. Live music playing oldies (70's and 80's) and lots of folks are dancing. Plenty of covered places to sit and enjoy the vibe."

The Owls Club

★★★★☆ 4.1 (152) • $$

"We came here Friday night just before Halloween around 7:00 pm. I already had heard about this bar being a mortuary back in the day. We walked inside and it's dark, you see tables with original pews I assume and a candle on each table with flowers in vases rotted years ago. Customers were dressed up goth having a ghouling time. It was everything I imagined it would be. Staff was friendly and my drink was strong. When we left a couple hours later the place was packed. Really cool bar not just in downtown but in general, come on a mortuary bar. Gotta love it!"

Tap & Bottle

★★★★☆ 4.4 (267) • $$

"What to say that hasn't already been said about T&B? It's changed the scene in town and allowed a lot of other places to pop up and thrive. Regular events, great bartenders, fresh clean beer, brewery collaborations, and oodles of good times to be had. They have a rotating cast of food trucks too. Come on down to the original and see what the fuss is all about."

Tap & Bottle - North

★★★★☆ 4.3 (77) • $$

"I freaking love this place! Basically, my husband and I are lucky to get a date night once a month and I generally request that we get to Tap & Bottle. The beer selection is so awesome! Something for everyone! My husband loves a good Hazy IPA. I always was grateful they had wines on tap but now they offer cocktails and that has been a game changer for me! I'm working my way through the list of cocktails they offer and so far, they have all been stellar! Service is awesome! It just has good vibes to me and I feel in a positive mood when I'm enjoying myself at T & B!"

Postino Grant

★★★★★ 4.6 (608) • $$

"It's a restaurant based on bread. Once you understand that- then you can digest all the offerings. The name sounded Italian to me so I was thinking pasta and my daughter kept saying they have really good sandwiches.We came the night before on a drive by and people were waiting outside in a cluster. It was pouring rain so we were not going to do that. (We called the next day for an early reservation to get in and try the place-which was successful!)Their main thing is these clever flavor combinations of Bruschetta. You can order a board of four flavors-each one cut into 4 slices for the table to try each flavor. Philly 5/5Pear/fig jam/goat 5/5Pepper jelly and cheese 5/5BLT? 5/5They had a lot of wine for sale in there like wine store. We didn't get anything to drink but water. Probably a good place to wine taste.For our mains we all got a different sandwich on focaccia. (Ciabatta is the other option) the Focaccia was super fluffy and delicious. Tuna was delicious.Turkey looked amazing and the few tastes I had were great. The French dip I had was messy. Okay in flavor but too little meat, too much aioli, and maybe not the right choice. I had to switch to fork and knife and eat only one side of the sandwich (removing one bread half.). I love French dip and so maybe the ciabatta would be better but maybe a different sandwich is the way to go.We had a very welcoming staff and waitress. Put us in a cozy booth by the kitchen. There is a big bar that is open to outside seating and tables as well."

Terraza Garden Patio & Lounge

★★★☆☆ 3.4 (82) • $$

"I have dined here numerous times and nine times out of ten the food is fantastic! Like eat every single bite, lick your plate, and think about getting more food, type of good. However, there was a time when my husband ordered some sort of dip sandwich and found some bones in it. We informed the server and he asked if it was in the au jus --it was clearly too big to fit in the au jus bowl so that was odd. My husband told him no it was in the sandwich and the server apologized and that was it. Kind of awkward. Service is good, although usually a bit harried, especially at lunch. They seem to be understaffed during that time of the day.Dinner seems better, but there was one awkward time where two servers got into a heated tiff in front of my husband and me about who was supposed to take care of our table. Very uncomfortable and unprofessional. Other than that single experience service has been good. They often have live music and the setting is a nice indoor/outdoor type of feel. Most recently I dined here on a Monday holiday and again they seemed understaffed. I was taken care of by Mason the bartender. He was literally running. I had iced tea--sooooo delicious that I had three glasses and wanted another--and the Caesar salad with salmon added. The salmon smelled a bit funky upon arrival but it tasted perfect. The tomatoes in the salad--yummmm! Like a juicy tomato but with the delicious sun dried taste! They have lots of delicious options, with something for everyone. I can't wait to come back!"

Crave Pizza

★★★★★ 4.5 (169) • $$

"Nice setting. Friendly service. Ordered the small house salad, small fries, and two 10" thin-crust pizzas. Got the assorted chocolate to go. Lots of delicious food, reasonably priced. Would recommend & will definitely be returning."

Sidecar

★★★★☆ 4.3 (212) • $$

"5 Stars - Amazing Cocktails & Outstanding Service!I was visiting from Atlanta and stopped by Sidecar while in Tucson--what a great find! The atmosphere was warm and inviting, with a relaxed yet sophisticated vibe. There was no music, but honestly, it wasn't needed--the ambiance spoke for itself.Trevor, our bartender, was fantastic. He was friendly, attentive, and really knew his cocktails. We tried the Bowed and Tied, the Arosa, and a special drink called the Honeymoon Suite--each one was expertly crafted and absolutely delicious.Sidecar is definitely a spot I'll be returning to next time I'm in town. If you're looking for a place with great drinks and even better service, this is it!"

St Cruz

★★★★☆ 3.6 (31)

"This restaurant is located inside the Leo Kent hotel in downtown Tucson, Arizona. I'm going to give this restaurant four stars. The roasted salmon I ordered was OK. I'd give it three stars. It was a little on the cold side, especially the potatoes, and the salmon had a large area that had dryness to it. On the other hand, the items we ordered off the happy hour menu were very good. My daughter said that she would give the southwestern chopped salad with added protein of chicken five stars. She is a harsher critic than I so this is an amazing judgment coming from her. We also ordered the nachos for a starter and they were simple, fresh and delicious. The girls were joking we should order more to-go to take up to our room, for after the concert we were attending. My other daughter ordered the BLT, and requested that a beef patty be subbed in for the bacon and added American cheese. She also asked for some mayonnaise on the side. Her burger looked absolutely delicious with a juicy thick, medium rare cooked patty on toasted sourdough with fresh avocado slices, and all the fixings, she got a side of french fries with this.We all love the ambience of the restaurant. It had a nice golden glow to it with subtle lighting from the walls and the tables. There was not an overhead fluorescent light in sight, thank goodness. Bright overhead lighting directly over me instantly makes me angry lol. This was a casual restaurant and I showed up in flip-flops yet the feel of it was classy with linen napkins and real silverware.There is a full bar area for seating, high chair area, tables, and booths. We were able to walk in and seat ourselves. They recommended making a reservation if you are dining later in the evening.The service was wonderful here. The weight staff continuously filled our water glasses, got our orders right with all of our substitutions, and were very friendly. I have the feeling that if I would've ordered off the happy hour menu, I probably would've given this restaurant five stars. I think most of the crowd here was ordering off of the happy hour menu so the items were coming out hot and fresh. Overall, this was a great dining experience and a wonderful way for me to celebrate my 50th birthday."

Old Pueblo Cellars

★★★★☆ 4.4 (66) • $$

"This is a fun stop in an unexpected setting. There's a lovely tasting room surrounded by manicured cactus gardens in a stark but beautiful desertscape, with a small vineyard adjoining. The tasting is five wines and comes with an education about their process for a knowledgeable, very social presenter. You can also just stop in for a glass without having a tasting reservation. The wines are pretty good, though the sauvignon blanc was quite different from any of that varietal I've had before. There's plenty of parking at the entrance, and the prices are quite reasonable. Definitely worth your time if you're in the area or like to visit unusual tasting rooms. It's not far at all from the Ritz Carlton, so it would make a nice afternoon outing if you're staying at the resort."

Caffe Torino

★★★★☆ 3.5 (300) • $$

"This is a favorite of ours and visit here quarterly. The food was so tasteful. We each had something different and all four meals were full of flavor and presented quite tastefully!Our server John was very astute at attending to our needs without being intrusive. Quite a skill nowadays!The only detriment to a perfect evening was the buzzing/humming sound coming from the speaker above us. We will certainly return!"

Wild Garlic Grill

★★★★☆ 3.6 • $$$

"This is the most gourmet delicious vegan dish in all of Tucson The restaurant is beautiful with some of the best customer service as well! 5 Chef's Kiss!"

Tirrito Farm

★★★★☆ 3.7 (48)

"I had had their beer a few times in Tucson, so when on a trip to Las Cruces and I needed a lunch spot, I was reminded of them through the EPA's map of EV charging.I had the chicken fried steak which came with a salad, sliced of bread, mashed potatoes, and green beans. Everything was delicious, and it was very reasonably priced. I feel like they could get away with charging a lot more.Beers were good. I had already tasted the pilsner several times, so had an IPA, a milk stout, the black lager, and the hefeweizen. The black lager was probably my favorite, but I like that style.I'll be back!"

Public Taphouse

★★★★☆ 4 (1)

"We stumbled upon Public Taphouse after a write up in Tucson Foodie and could not wait to give it a shot. First off, they certainly specialize in wine at this location more than they do beer. They had a small selection of craft beer in their fridge and two that were on tap (In addition to a hard seltzer). While initially worried, I had no problem finding a beer to enjoy. While the selection was limited, it was very well thought out and I found a new hazy IPA to enjoy. While we did not try any on this visit, they did have a large selection of wines and I would be that they would meet your "vino" expecations.What a cool place! The quant and intimate atmosphere was definitely the highlight. The room is no bigger than a living room and that provided a chance for the bar tender to mingle and get to know the patrons. Personally, it was a refreshing look when compared to other bars around town.Go here because you want a "different" experience. If you are looking for walls of beer and taps, TV's on the wall, or food trucks... this isn't the spot (although there is always a time and place for that!). What they lack in volume & selection they make up for in thought & care. I'll be back for sure."

Patagonia Lumber

★★★★★ 4.5 (10)

"Had an amazing time with my family! Solid beer selection and the pizza vendor, OTC, was something special. Staff was super friendly and attentive. Can't wait to go back!"

Cabal Cellars

★★★★☆ 4.3 (13)

"The service here is astounding! Zandra was so sweet and so helpful, plus they stock a little bit of everything. Wine, hot sauce, candy- you name it. Will definitely be back next time I'm in town!"

Eatalio Pasta & Wine

★★★★☆ 4 (195) • $$

"AMAZING!!! Great food great service great atmosphere despite all of the negative reviews I still had a try and I couldn't be any more happier. It's amazing happy hour is Monday through Friday from 1to 5 great selections on your house red & white beers and appetizers. !!! Definitely would recommend I will definitely be coming back Cheers!!"

Stone & Barrel

★★★★☆ 4 (141) • $$

"Lots of people don't know this is open to the public because it's hidden in a senior golf community. Their food is really yum, good prices and their drinks are delicious! (Martini girl here!) They have fun music nights, dancing and the vibes are basically "live your best life'. If you ask to sit outside in the spring the views include a gorgeous lake with a fountain spewing water backlit with beautiful colors, and the sun sets right behind it. 10/10 would recommend for a casual night out. Order the short rib queso! My favorite appetizer / small eats plate there. Make a reservation though because that community knows how to indulge in the perks this place offers and the wait can get pretty crazy."

Red Light Lounge

★★★★☆ 4.4 (30)

"They've kept this daring place alive through the pandemic & quality is excellent! The menu is small, well thought out with fresh ingredients. Eating here is a lesson in local and regional foods! Loved the fresh fresh fresh corn tortillas.The burger was very tasty, without being too fatty. The Chipotle aioli was great and I usually don't like any heat in my salsas. Outstanding and uniquely cut fries, with the right blend of crispy exterior and soft insides. Salad so crispy, like farm fresh. We chose a chipotle ranch. A real hub, this place. I hope it endures.Fine, friendly staff, all working hard, but generous with their time, if you ask, but you gotta ask."

The Broadway Beer & Wine Bar

★★★★★ 5 (4)

"The Broadway is our new favorite!!! A few friend's went in for a beverage right after they opened and raved about the space and location so we had to venture in. The design is sensationally hip with a fantastic layout. It is comfortable, chic, and has a great variety of beverage choices including n/a drinks. The service was excellent and the attentive bartender even checked on us as we were sitting and chatting. They have a large selection of drafts as well as can choices including cider. The wine selection is also well thought out including some bottles from local vineyards. What I love most about The Broadway is it's casual, welcoming, hip vibe truly encapsulating the funky area of Tucson, the mid-century modern design epicenter of days gone by! I'm hoping to celebrate my birthday at the Broadway next month! Head into this new locally owned spot for happy hour soon and you won't be disappointed!"

Ermanos Bar

★★★★☆ 4.3 (560) • $$

"My friend recommended that I head here and man, talk about the best rec ever! The first time I had their bacon honey Brussel sprouts was June and now I've been there once a month for that dish alone! I always eat at the bar and the staff is so friendly. They are very attentive and generally leave me to enjoy my food and whatever drink/cocktail I am getting. I don't drink beer but their selection there is insane! If I had to guess maybe over 40 different types of beer/ales. It's not a quiet place but it's also not extremely loud so to me, it's just perfect!"

Good Oak Bar

★★★★☆ 4.3 (168) • $$

"The Good Oak Bar has a good vibe which I really appreciate! You are greeted when you enter and as others have mentioned, it has a "speakeasy" feel. We grabbed a booth and ordered an Old Fashioned and a Hazy IPA. They've got what you're looking for... Whether it's a nice glass of wine, good beer or an excellent cocktail. Bob was our server and was super helpful and nice! Appreciated him! The Old Fashioned was my favorite that I've had! Such a nice smooth drink! We ordered a pizza from next door and that just added to our happy experience. I'm looking forward to my next visit to the Good Oak! They also have a secret menu that has me contemplating trying one of those drinks... Although it would be hard not to get the Old Fashioned again!"

Caps & Corks

★★★★☆ 4.4 (50) • $$

"My husband and I have stopped in a couple of times and it's a very pleasant place to grab some brewskies! There is an amazing selection of beers to select from and they also have some nice wines. We were excited to see that they carry Merkin wines. We once took a trip to Merkin Vineyards in Cottonwood and really enjoyed the wines! We also grabbed a nice Cava brut from Caps & Corks, which we enjoyed last night. Light lovely bubbles perfect for summer! Currently, they are open for to- go purchases only. At this time, that is all we are looking for, so it works well! If you're looking for a nice bottle of local wine or a great variety of beer to select from, this is your place!"

A Latte Vino

★★★★☆ 4.1 (130) • $$

"Visited this spot a handful of times & never disappoints. Staff is always so kind & attentive. The vibe is always great & they even have live music some days! I come for mainly the wine and the food & to unwind. Every time I visit I have to order the Apple fig bruschetta & my most recent visit I finally tried the homemade chicken pot pie which was recommended by staff and so filling and yummy. Can't wait to be back!"

Mandy's Wine Bar

★★★★☆ 4.3 (35)

"Omg can't say enough about how amazing this new place Mandy's Wine Bar is!! Everything was delicious. 1) Bruschetta was amazing. 2) Caesar salad was phenomenal. Never have I seen my husband so excited to eat a salad 3) Hubby got lasagna 4) I got mushroom & cauliflower orzo6) The hibiscus tonic was fresh & light7) Look at the in the cappuccino 8) Lemon tart dessert was perfectionDecor was chic & beautiful. The customer service was attentive & thoughtful. I highly recommend and will definitely be back... often!"
