Snake & Barrel - Batch

It's quite a pleasant surprise that Batch is hiding its best work underground. While I found their flagship bar to have middling cocktails, they more than make up for this with a side project focused on a formidable menu of witty names. What I had: Pinche Fresa--Excellent blend of gin and strawberry. I love gin, and I generally lean toward the herbal or flowery varieties, but this is a stellar example of showcasing gin's more citrusy side. Sweet and brilliant. Rock You-- it featured overproof rum and passion fruit liqueur, reminiscent of everything I would crave on a warm beach getaway. Service is prompt and comfortable--I don't think this place has been around that long, but it feels like they've been at it for a long time. Seating is intimate, with an array of small tables illuminated with individual lamps. They have a ways to go with filling out the walls and really giving the place some character, but it still feels hip and exclusive. Come here for date night or when you want a fun cocktail!

Awesome speakeasy underneath Batch with a great group of bartenders. Looking for a relaxing environment with a unique cocktail? This is the spot.

This review is for Batch but I have been to both Batch and Snake & Barrel and my review would still be 5 stars for both. Batch is the cocktail lounge branded to have Arizona's largest whiskey collection. Snake & Barrel, also a part of Batch is their downstairs lounge ( with a speakeasy feel) . In both locations you can expect knowledgeable mixologists who concoct amazing drinks. Batch has a happy hour and on weekends they have donuts ... and if we are being honest... bourbon and donuts is a match made in spirit.

The atmosphere here is AMAZING. Love the decor. It's a cozy, yet sexy vibe. Great music.. not too loud. You can actually have a conversation with the person sitting next to you without screaming at them. The cocktails are out of this world. I HIGHLY recommend the La Serpiente if you like a little bit of spice in your cocktail. It has the PERFECT amount of heat without being overpowering. They have fantastic gin cocktails as well. The Pinche Fresca was so refreshing! The bartenders are really friendly and the service was great. This is probably my new favorite place in Tucson. We will definitely be back!

Snake & Barrel is one of the hidden gems that I take all my visitors to in Tucson for great cocktails. I feel like I found an inner circle, I am a sucker for speakeasies and this location seems to be hidden on most maps. The interior is dark, cozy, and romantic with dim lighting and green velvet chairs. I've ordered drinks on and off the menu that have all been exceptional. My favorite is La Serpiente but you also can't go wrong with an extra dirty martini. On the weekends, there is sometimes a wait to go down when they are at capacity, but it is never too long.

I love this place. The atmosphere, the comfortable seating, attentive staff, and tasty drinks are all reasons I keep going back here. You can't go wrong with this place, you are sure to have a good time in a nice relaxed atmosphere that isn't overly crowded as the door man will only let in so many people at a time. Very clean and well maintained.

I'm in love! Found this bar in a whim. We were walking to our car and seen the door open & the bouncer gave us a little intro so we decided to check it out. Very welcoming right away! Customers recommended drinks and the bartender was very passionate about his craft and got very excited when my husband complimented the salt. The ambiance and aesthetic is dark but cute. I loved the emerald green chairs. The perfect date/girls night spot!

I can't belive I haven't left a review of this place yet. EVERY TIME we are downtown on a day and time they are open we are there! Best place to hang, meet people, and...oh yeah, DRINK! Our favorite bartender is here. Ryan is the absolute best EVER! The entire staff goes way above and beyond to make you feel welcome. The ambiance is special, the decor is fun, and the drinks are wonderful. It isn't a big place and the Bouncer will keep you out if it reaches capacity. Heck, hang at Batch upstairs and enjoy some awesome cocktails and, if they have them, have a donut. A cool thing about S & B is that all ages (over 21) are made to feel welcome (I'm way over 21) so no excuses, you won't be sorry. (Haven't had one here but I'm told they make the best Espresso Martinis.)

Four of us came here last Saturday night. I love the ambiance and lighting in this new underground bar. The bartenders were really friendly.Unfortunately, I didn't like most the drinks I tried. I didn't like the Rock You, Purple Drink or Vert der ferk (although my friend liked this one). The Shut It, Karen was the only one that was ok.

I just tried Snake & Barrel a few months ago and it's already one of my favorite places to go grab a drink in Tucson. This establishment has a laid-back, speakeasy vibe with dim lighting and tasteful decorating. The ambiance is low-key, so it's a great place to go and know you'll be able to hear the people you're with. All the staff that I've interacted with are fun and make great, creative drinks.
