My girlfriends and I had so much fun celebrating a birthday. We all loved the vibe of this place. Cute, photo worthy signs and decorations everywhere. The women’s bathroom had a barn door instead of the typical bar establishment grungy door, so I missed it when I first looked for it. Drinks were very good. I love that I was offered salt or tajin for my margarita. The bartenders were busy but the girls were up to the task with hustle and friendly service. We got there somewhat early and there was a lot of country music, which is good. Then we went to the super cute patio to order some yummy food from the Bahndicted food truck that was attached. The food truck employees were also super friendly and gave great service. I love the restaurant over by Lee Lee market. Best bahn mi sandwiches. After eating, we went back in the bar and there was hip hop music to dance to. When I closed out my tab, I noticed there was an extra drink I didn’t order. I always look now because I once had 3 extra drinks put on my tab at another bar and didn’t notice until I got home. No one questioned me or gave me any attitude at the Nugget. A man I assumed is the manager/owner came over with the drink removed. Easy peasy. This is such a great place for a fun, laid back night out. I want to go back with my husband. He loves dive bars, but this place is definitely a step above a dive bar.
I love The Nugget! The wonderful changes it has made is wonderful and so endearing that I am so excited to take my friends and family there whenever we can!
My husband and I have been coming here for years. I liked it a lot before they remodeled it. Don't get me wrong, it looks way better now, but they probably should limit how many people they let in. This place gets so packed that it is hard to enjoy when everyone one is up in your personal space. I ordered drinks and spilled it walking back to my table because of how crowded it gets. I like some what crowded places but not to where we are literally touching everyone just to move around ????‍♀️
Haven't tried the food yet but the vibe is amazing! This place is also esthetically pleasing. Any day of the week type of setting!
I was visiting family in Tuscon and really needed to find a pool table to play on.
It was about 30 minutes from where I was staying by Lyft. It was definitely worth it! The bartenders are really friendly! The place was absolutely beautiful with a great atmosphere.
Took a few pictures!
My husband and I decided to try this place out for the first time lastnight, by far our new favorite place. We had a blast!! We met new people the staff were all so friendly, the atmosphere is so fun and upbeat and everyone was so welcoming. The drinks are so good, you also get snacks to help balance out the buzz. I felt safe had great security. And to top it off they had the best music. Such a fun place and decorated so nice, definitely will be going back
Absolutely one of my most favorite places to visit here in Tucson. Vibes all around for all genres and types of people with a chill atmosphere outside on the patio or a fun club like vibe inside after hours hehe...after work this is my go to spot to unwind the stress from the day and shoot some pool without feeling out of place and never been bothered by others. They have such incredible and sweet bartenders that work there and my top favorite are Rachel, Lexi, and Ericka (hope I spelled those correctly). But they make sure your drink is exactly how you want it and if you become a regular, they have it without you even asking hehe..love them...and the owner is such an incredible person who goes around making sure everyone is comfortable, relaxed and having a great time as well as he is such a view for sore eyes (hint-hint ladies hehe). He also has such the sweetest big pup with him and allows well-behaved leashed dogs. Win win all around and The food truck they have there is immaculate with the same great service as well as a great selection to choose from when the munchies start kicking in hehe...overall I would give this place 10 stars if I could...check it out for yourself to see that I'm not wrong and enjoy a round of pool or relax outside on the patio...you'll definitely enjoy the atmosphere.
Great vibe, great cocktails. Music wasn't too loud, and the bartenders were friendly and attentive. The Mexican Candy Shots were amazing!
