Review Thirsty's Neighborhood Grill & Bar - Tucson

OH MY GOD I LOVE THIS PLACE!!!!!! First time in for dinner on a Sunday night. Assumed I'd be walking into your typical neighborhood sports bar. Expecting loud, cramped and busy. You know what they say about assuming!!!!! It's a seat yourself place where you do not have to turn sideways to walk between tables!! It's clean and the chairs don't match. Which I love. You can easily tell that the owners care more about the neighborhood and the neighbors than spending way too much money on matching chairs. There was only 1 server tonight. Yes, 1. Her name is Isabelle and she was AMAZING!!! There is a pool table, a pinball machine and CORK dart boards!!! Quirky and interesting decor, it was not freezing cold inside, the bathroom was clean, the bartenders helpful and friendly (don't skimp on liquor in drinks) and holy God the food..... The FOOD!!!! Mozzarella sticks, Garlic Butter Burger with wedges and Ugly Steak Sandwich with tots. My 19 year old and I love Mozz sticks and the ones at Thirsty's are by far, the BEST we've ever had. The Burger was perfection on a bun. The ugly steak sammie..... WOW! Those tater tots? I was to full to finish them, had like 6-8 tots left on my plate....Guys, I asked for box and took those glorious 6 tots home. This is a place I can take my 84 year old Mom to, a place I can take my 4 & 6 year old nephews to and this is a place that I would feel completely safe being alone warming a bar stool as a woman. As a past server and bartender myself, I'm picky. Really picky. Thirsty's is a spot that my normally social anxiety riddled 19 year old daughter said she would be okay to chill alone at a table, enjoy amazing food and actually pull out her sketchbook and get lost in her art for an hour or two. I'll be going back. Often. I must try all the things, play all the games, meet all the people and finally be able to say "my home bar is Thirsty's"!

I was looking for a good down to earth Pub with good food!! This place was beyond excellent. Our waitress was so nice and attentive. I had the French Dip, my daughters had fried onion rings, Bratwurst, French fries and boneless spicy wings!! I was so impressed by this place. I am new to Arizona and had yet to find a place I liked to eat! This place had a fun atmosphere!! So excited to come back!! ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS!!!!!!!

Service is good and the food is good too. Nieghborhood Bar with friendly atmosphere.We meet monthly with a group of retired Aviation Guys ♡ So interesting to catch up and tell stories from the past and new ones of the now. Again, it's a great get together at this friendly nieghborhood bar. Burgers and dogs are good with Tater Tots or Shoestring Fries & Bottled XX Lager beer. Our waitress Kate was amazing how she handled our party snd many other tables ❤️

Nice sports bar on the NE side. We had great service, and my chili cheese burger was great ! I'm not sure if it was just the time we were there (500 PM on Saturday), but it seems the place is popular with the older demographic, and it was by far the quietest sports bar I've ever been in :-)

Nice bar, good staff. Liked the New England team themes around the bar. I ordered food, but wasn't too keen on it, needed some flavoring seasons and things. Good place overall.

A perfect place to hangout with family and friends 👌👍

Clean facility, excellent Cobb salad, personable wait staff. Good for families, too , with games. Outdoor seating.

We ordered the Philly Cheesesteak with coleslaw, fries, and jalapeño poppers through DoorDash. The poppers arrived crispy and very hot and the Philly Cheesesteak was wonderful. This is my new go to for great food!

Came in after work for the 1st time, had a burger and fries. Service was excellent. Would go back again.

Great place near Tanque Verde. Kinda like stepping into a time capsule from the 80s. Great food and service.

Had the ugly steak sandwich and it was beyond delicious!!! Ordered the coleslaw, which I am usually super picky about and it was yummy, too! Not only was the food tasty, but the service was good and fast, bloody mary and all💞

Fun atmosphere. It's a nice neighborhood grill. On one side you have pool tables, pin ball, and a nice bar feel. On the other you have this close knit feel with the juke box, bar, and tables. Best of all, they have fried green beans and ugly steak sandwiches. If you've never had an ugly steak you have to go to dickmans deli or come here and get the ugly steak sandwich. I will be back for sure!

Amanda is the best bartender! Generous drinks for reasonable prices! Great neighborhood bar. I love being able to play music on TouchTunes!

We were very satisfied. Friendly service, large portions & inexpensive. We'll definitely be back!

Great bar and grill. Consistent great food at a fair price. Good drinks and selections. The owner and employees make this place. So helpful, so friendly, so courteous, and so hard-working. And of course this brings great patrons, coming here is surrounding yourself with great people.
