While you would certainly come to the Tap Room to order draft beer in the afternoon, do not be afraid to request a craft cocktail from their bartenders. In this case Noah fashioned a spectacular take on a Daiquiri which made my short list of best drinks I had on my most recent visit to Tucson.

Old fashions tasted amazing, Incredibley local ambiance. A nice place to pregame for a date night. Didn't have to wait long at the bar and the staff was courteous and friendly.

Great spot love the outdoor patio. They need to update the hours! We drove from Phoenix and they don’t open until 2pm. Luckily Cup cafe was able to pour us some brews!

The Hotel Congress is a wonderful historic hotel. The cafe offers a great breakfast and lunch. The two times I’ve been there I’ve been very pleased with our meals. They’re dog friendly too! We were able to bring our Gracie out on the patio. My first time visiting I had the honor of meeting Tiger. He’s been tending bar in the Tap Room since 1959! A must while in Tucson, a meal or a drink. My next time will be over night and take it all in. I’ve heard Dillinger Days is a hoot. Last placed he stayed before being arrested in Tucson.
