Things to do in Tucson, Arizona (AZ): The Best Nightlife
Although Tucson's fantastic weather, national parks and forests and desert provide the perfect environment for tons of outdoor recreational activities, this city of half a million people also has its share of history and culture. With a history that goes back much further than many of its southwestern neighbors, Tucson boasts turn-of-the-century architecture, historic neighborhoods, museums and the Mission San Xavier del Bac, a still-functioning 18th-century mission considered one of the most beautiful in the U.S. Mexican and Native American influences are pervasive, and the city has a distinctly Western flavor. There's also a college-town atmosphere, thanks to the University of Arizona, which has its own share of museums and a science center. Whether golfing at a world-class golf resort, horseback riding, hiking in the wilderness, discovering desert flora and fauna at the Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum or exploring pre-Columbian and other art at the Tucson Art Museum, you'll have a mind-boggling array of things to do.

The Cascade Lounge, located in the lobby of the Loews Ventana Canyon Resort, is a huge open space with large fireplace and windows overlooking the mountains. Our server Ali was delightful and put up with us successfully twice in a four hour period. They have a solid smaller food menu which we did not try, but the drinks really shine here. The rattlesnake, a spicy margarita type cocktail was delicious. Later in the evening they made me a chocolate martini perfectly, just the way I like it. No complaints. Only tiny negative is we wish they had had large ice cubes. For my husband’s bourbon on the rocks. This lounge is an excellent way to relax. Love it! Thanks all, looking forward to three more nights.

The hubs and I like to visit local breweries whenever we visit new places. Dragoon did not disappoint! They brew many different beers and are willing to share both info and tastings. Their tasting room is a bit off the beaten path located near the rear of an office park but it’s worth the trek. Highly recommend! ????????♀️????????

Looking for something affordable to do on a Friday or Saturday evening? Look no further than the Unscrewed Theatre on Speedway. An all volunteer cast of local funny people do improve in the style of Whose Line Is It... Family friendly shows and 2x a month, they go uncensored for a late night adult show. How fun the show is depends on how much the audience interacts with the cast. I have never failed to spend the hour laughing! Great for date night or groups of friends looking for fun! They are non profit and volunteer run, committed to laughter because its fun!!

10. Crooked Tooth Brewing Co.
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 23 reviews
Crooked Tooth brewing is set in an old 1950's auto garage, converted into a brewery and taproom. There is a large patio in back. We have food trucks every night of the week, are dog and kid friendly, and love putting beer in bellies. We focus on the "WOW" factor. We want you to put a beer in your mouth that has never been there before. We like NE IPAs, sours, fruit forward beers, and a couple traditional old school beers on tap. Typically, there are 9 beers on tap, all brewed in-house, at any given time. Cheers

Having visited this brewery often, yesterday we had their best beer yet! The Pumpkin Porter is the best in Tucson and their Sours are spot on. Their new Prickly Pear Sour was heavenly. Crooked Tooth is a family friendly establishment with a beautiful space outside. They always have local artists display their artwork and find ways of helping their community. The staff is friendly and make you feel like you are part of their family. Can’t recommend this place enough!! They even have live music and food trucks!!!!
