This is a must stop in location for anyone visiting Tucson. They support local artists and entrepreneurs in a way I haven't seen anywhere else in town. They offer short or long term leases so you'll find a new pop-up along side a more deeply rooted retailer. The art is outrageously attractive to all tastes. There's a wonderful little bar that's situated perfectly for people watching and the bartenders are always very friendly. If you're looking for a real treat and maybe even a piece of art made by a legit south west artist don't miss this gem on Congress.

This is a cool place to stop in when downtown. The artists rent a small space to sell their work. They have such neat things and the best selection of stickers. Everyone working at their booths is so friendly. There's a bar inside and today they had $5 shots. You can order pizza from next door at the bar.

Our family loves the proper shops. There's a great variety of products in the different shops within the facility. We enjoy the bar and get a drink while we're wandering the merchandise. Also love the live music on the patio when available!

This is such a fabulous idea! The Proper Shops supporting local businesses by making it not so scary to rent retail space. Cool, clean, creative!! I was able to find some souvenirs for my work peeps on the east coast. Definitely not your typical artists/souvenir shop. Definitely worth a visit for at least a beverage. Im sure you will find something you love!!

This is a collection of small businesses under one roof. Some are art galleries, others are stores selling mostly locally made goods. I didn't buy anything, but it's pleasant enough to wander around and look at the stuff for sale. Plus, there's a bar with plenty of space to mingle, so it was a good spot for a Meetup group meeting. There's nothing to eat here, though, so we went somewhere else afterwards for dinner.

Love hanging out at the bar inside the proper shops. I like to take my drink and walk around and shop and look at all the unique fun boutique shops. I bought gifts to give for Christmas this year and all gifts were very well received. I would recommend anyone to go in and get a drink and find something special.

A joyous gem in the city! Enter through the eclectic, colorful, enticing Tucson Gallery to marvel at what local artists are creating. Enjoy a cocktail at the bar, then browse the creations of small entrepreneurs...amazing hand-crafted woodcraft, beautiful ethnic handbags, shimmery silver and turquoise jewelry, clever t-shirts (Brian will even dance for you,) and you can even get a tattoo. On the weekends the charming Tony, Darren and Tom will entertain and inform you. It is one of the most welcoming and inspiring venues in town.
