What players say

A blast from the past. We used to drive by as kids in the 60s, and thought it was a bomb shelter. I guess that's why they added "Bar" to the sign. Lol We asked mom what it was, she said it's where people go to get bombed. The decore inside is mostly the same as it was in the 60s. Like stepping back in time.

★★★★★ Keith, Apr 2023

Small, quaint bar. It felt quite homey. Pool table up on an elevated platform/"stage". A few booths near the U-shaped bar with tables along the outside of that U on the other side as well. Drink specials were fantastic, and they tasted good, too! I look forward to going again.

★★★★☆ Treyton, May 2024

While on the start of our road trip from CA to FL, Tucson was our first stop to see friends. We were brought here to The Shelter as we were told that the drinks were on par and a spot that the locals go. We are always up for a good cocktail and try to find the best places to go.
