In the space formerly occupied by Cushing Street, this crew has improved both the space and the food. It's a teeny bit off the beaten path of Downtown, but worth a trip. Beautiful patio. Great cocktails.

Another amazing hipster destination. One of downtown Tucson's TWO former mortuaries-turned-bars. Good cocktails, and the bartenders are highly skilled at pretending to not have seen you. You can't catch their eye. Don't even try. They'll get to you whenever.
