Surly Wench Pub

The staff are nice and I love the size and the ample seating and goth/industrial/punk vibe. I went on a karaoke night and it was fun to listen to the folks singing. I totally appreciate the late hours and it's right off the light rail line.We ordered the Baja street chicken tacos and pints of beer. I didn't realize the pints were $9 ($1 credit card fee). The selection of beers was on tap was good but not great. The cans didn't appeal to me but I'm picky on my beer and I don't care for coors or pbr.The Baja chicken tacos were decently priced but had too much cabbage in them and not everything else.

Very cool bar in 4th avenue in downtown Tucson. I stopped by in a Thursday (karaoke night apparently) and had some tots and a "cherry limeade". Staff was friendly and helpful and the food and drinks were top notch. This whole area of downtown is loaded with cool bars and shops but this place stood out to me on my visit.

I've drank here a few times and been for event like Goth/Industrial night, but not eaten here. I've heard the food is good and it was. They have a monthly special and it was an Italian chicken sandwich that was awesome. The service was good. Good bar food.

I imagine Surly Wench exists mainly as a music venue, although I could be wrong. Stopping in for a couple pints on a Thursday late afternoon, the place was dead, which was fine with me. Easy order at the bar, quick friendly service and my choice of seats.It's a dive bar. And I mean that in a good way.

If you are in to unique bars with awesome vibes this place is for you. It's dark, the music is different and the service is great. A friend and I stopped by for a quick mid day drink. The bartender was super friendly and very attentive. Gave me recommendations. Highly recommend if you are looking for a bar that's not the same old same old, touristy trap. Just buyer beware the spicy heat margarita is no for the faint of heart. SPICY is in caps for a reason. Just know you will be crying by the end of the drink .... Tears of spicy spicy joy.

Love this place! The only place my friends and I go out to! The vibes are immaculate and the bartenders are awesome (:

I dropped in here for a quick dinner recently. The place was quite dark, with music playing and a movie playing (silently but with captions) on the TV screen. There was no table service; I had to go to the bar to place my order with the bartender. I ordered chicken tacos. They have three kinds of salsa, but you can only get two with each order. The tacos and salsas were tasty. The menu said the price was $12, but it rang up at $13. The bartender said the extra dollar was a fee for paying with a credit card. Whatever. Anyway, the food here is good, but I could have done without some of the quirks.

I went for their burlesque night and had an absolutely amazing time. The show was wonderful and service from the bar was everything you could expect (efficient send courteous) on a very busy night. Food and drinks were reasonably priced. Nice beer selection on tap.

My first visit to this spot.. I found parking on 4th Avenue and picked the closest place to grab a bite. It was about 6pm so the bar was not packed or busy with the younger crowd from UofA but they were getting ready for a comedy show later in the evening.I grabbed a seat at the bar .. the space is dark and goth .. black leather bar stools & a fully stocked bar. Plenty of seating and a stage in a side room for shows.I opted for the Prickly Heat cocktail .. the bartender said it was hot .. it was spicy hot .. jalapeño & habanero hot with prickly pear sweetness and a tajin rim... so good and the prettiest shade of pink. From the food menu of tacos, burgers, appetizers I decided on the Royale burger & a side of tots. It came out quickly and wow it was juicy, flavorful and served on a buttery bun. Great burger!!! The tots were great too, not greasy at all, they were served with ranch and ketchup. Unfortunately I had to drive back to Phoenix and hate driving through the dark desert so I didn't stay for another cocktail or the comedy show but I will definitely be back.

Unique is the best way I can think of to describe the Surly Wench Pub. We have frequented on a number of occasions, and it is never the same type of crowd or experience. The staff has always been fantastic, and the drinks are a reasonable price for 4th Ave. Though they do often charge a $5 or $10 cover on the weekends which I don't love. Not sure what bar to choose in town, worried about whether you will fit in? Then the Surly Wench is the place to go. I have been to EDM DJ sessions, Burlesque shows, no entertainment nights, Karaoke nights, and they are all great. They could use more seating, but I am not sure where they would put it and still accommodate the weekend crowds.
