Owls Club

Great vibe, love the concept of turning this funeral home into a bar. Dimmly lit, open space with outside patio. Drinks can be a bit pricey and there in no Happy Hour or Daily Drink Specials, which is too bad, We'd probably be inclined to frequent it more often. They have entertainment on some days, sometimes free and sometimes there's a cover charge of $5 or $10. Check it out. We'll definitely be back.

My first visit to Owls Club was fantastic. It was a slower day just before the holidays so we were able to enjoy beverages in a relaxing environment. Highly recommend.

I recorded a band there the other day here ate some behind the scenes. Great outside area. Great for Tucson nights good music too!

I had a great time the night I was there. It was freezing inside. There were a number of locals/regulars hanging out and enjoying the evening. I was there on a Friday and there was not a light on in the place which made for a surreal evening. There service was spotty as most of the regulars wanted to talk to the bartenders and that coupled with first timers like me asking multiple questions because they couldn't read the menu.

Such a cool spot for cocktails, wish I had this where I live. Good menu, fun drink choices, the right type of atmosphere for hole in the wall night. Em mixed great drinks and killed the tunes all night! Look forward to a return on my next Tucson visit.

La Catrina was not very well balanced, the drink just tasted “loud” in not a great way. Usually love absinthe but found it annoying in this drink. Wife liked her drink though. Unique atmosphere inside, kind of cold and rigid, which I get is the theme but not the best for hanging out in.

Great prices, fantastic tenders, and a super laid-back atmosphere that took us back to clubs 30 years ago. It's a former chapel that has retained its vibe via vigas, stained glass windows, and the booths made from the original pews. It's simple and effective with a great gothic vibe. Lestat would be comfortable here. We saw a full age range, and though it was small, it didn't get horribly crowded. Get there early for seating, though. The old fashioneds were great and only $11. No food offerings. There's one single room ungendered bathroom, so there's often a wait there. Saturday night live, lo-fi music.

This place was an old funeral home, and this is what will jump in your mind when you step in! The ambiance is cool though! The menu is so creative, you’ll have to try it out to find yourself. Bartenders are friendly and cool.

I've stopped in a couple of times since my first experience at The Owls Club and it never disappoints. The crowd here is very enjoyable, and the folks working the bar are friendly and creative with the drinks they're offering. For this second visit I asked for a martini (I didn't have my glasses and couldn't really see the menu), and the bartender (Rick?) said, "I have just the thing". It was excellent, and indeed just the thing. It's the drink in the photo I snapped that also includes a little candle ambience. I really, really like the vibe of this place and I look forward to going back again soon.

This place is happening on a Tuesday night! Nice dark bar with custom cocktails that are creative! Nice old building feel. Bathrooms in front & back. Gteat service and no food just FYI

Hidden away south of downtown a short walk east of the TCC is this spot. A former morgue they keep the place very dark and chilly, its a vibe. Their cocktails offer something for everyone, its a heavy pour but very well balanced.

We came here for date night and live show of a local artist. This is such a speakeasy bar that's a bit tucked away in my opinion. The staff is always super friendly and attentive even on busy nights. The bartender was able to make a location with some type of pineapple juice and ginger beer to accommodate. My husband had an old fashion and another drink. The outdoor patio is perfect for live music and there is enough room and seating area as well as dancing space. The vibes were great and the music was lovely. I hope to come back soon. Define you recommend if you're looking for a nice bar with great vibes.

A bar in an old mortuary, a stunning & truly unique experience. Beautiful interiors, lovely seating options, good service and live music occasionally. Mostly lit by candlelight. A place to enjoy a drink and take in the beauty. Really nice experience & look forward to coming back!

Really cool vibes here. Great cocktails. Much better than a lot of other places in Tucson.

I went here last night and was excited to see they added more intricate cocktails. Unfortunately, I didn't like any of them I tried this time. I wish they still had the 63 Fizz. I wasn't a fan of the Strawberry switchblade. It tasted like grapefruit. The Soi cowboy was ok. It was salty and an interesting combo of flavors. I really hated the Banana Farmer.

Fun ambience gives a gothic feel since it's next to a mortuary or was part of one. More seating would be nice, theres plenty of space. As far as service I do think there needs to be an easier way to get drinks as customers are ordering from different sections of bar area, it takes a bit to get anyone to get your order. Drinks are fairly priced as your paying for the experience.

We came here Friday night just before Halloween around 7:00 pm. I already had heard about this bar being a mortuary back in the day. We walked inside and it's dark, you see tables with original pews I assume and a candle on each table with flowers in vases rotted years ago. Customers were dressed up goth having a ghouling time. It was everything I imagined it would be. Staff was friendly and my drink was strong. When we left a couple hours later the place was packed. Really cool bar not just in downtown but in general, come on a mortuary bar. Gotta love it!

Cute little bar located in downtown Tucson Good drink selection. Had their Pineapple pear cider Ambiance was relaxing and chill. Recommend.

In a past life, this building was a funeral home. Now it's a macabre, but romantic cocktail bar where you can pay your respects to some fine spirits crafted by expert mixologists. Owls Club is undoubtedly slinging the best cocktails in Tucson and it's not even close! You will never have to worry about whether what you are ordering is good. You only have to worry about whether or not you can get in. I've tried to go early, I'm talking 7pm on a Friday, and still had to wait. I don't think they do reservations. They have mastered the classics, as evidenced by serving the best grasshopper I've ever had. But beyond that, there's something for everyone, from the sweet, to the really stiff. My personal favorite of the few specialties I tried featured apple brandy, but with a rotating menu, you have to try not to fall in love with any one item. Rest assured, you'll never be disappointed trying something new. Outdoors, they sometimes hold events like vendor markets. Indoors, there's music, which you can enjoy from the antiquated, candlelit pews. Either way, there's not a bad seat in the house.

Very cute space, I enjoyed the moody lighting and disco ball. When we went, it wasn't very full and we only explored the main room though I did see a few areas for seating elsewhere. Staff was pretty attentive and service was a reasonable speed for the cocktails. I enjoyed my drinks though I wish their menu offered more variety, for example I'm a big fan of spicy drinks and I didn't see that there. Of the drinks I tried, my favorites were the Mexican Holiday and Pidgeon Palace. I also had the Vagabond.

Good cocktails. The bartenders seem to have talent. So come for cocktails in a rather dull place. Grimey dirty bathroom. The graffiti might be left for a reason but a stinky dirty bathroom. No real atmosphere despite the history of the building. Have a drink, a good drink. I would not call this a dive bar. But not far off. Someone came that only drinks wine. No selection. Beers ok.

Very low key place with moody ambiance. The bartenders are very knowledgeable and make excellent cocktails.

Cool bar in outskirts of downtown Tucson; idk what the history is but it seems like it used to be a church or club of sort, with booth seating and kind of a tunneled venue feel. We only got one drink but it was quality, and we really liked the space and our bartender. Would definitely go again if we're in Tucson as it seems like a cool place with lots of different spaces to hang out in.

I quite enjoyed my little outing at the Owls Club. This unassuming spot downtown is tucked across from the Children's Museum. After a long day of work, it was nice to try their specialty cocktails that were made with care by the bartender. Will definitely be coming back!

This is a great place! The drinks are very tasty. I tried the strawberry daiquiri and I was not disappointed. Our groups tried many different drinks and all of them were great. Bartenders were friendly and fast. The decor and ambiance are great and I can't wait to go here again!

Thank you to the amazing bartender who served me and my husband on 12/26/23 We were highly impressed by the quality of the cocktails as well as the proper service we received despite a busy night with one bartender on the shift. If you go there - try a cocktail "Naked in the woods" - recipe made by the girl who served us (unfortunately didn't ask for her name). I live in Los Angeles but even there I rarely get that quality cocktails. You can tell that bartender really put her heart in what she's doing. The ambience is obviously on point, super chill, church-style gothic hipster bar. Prices are very reasonable too. Give this bartender a rise We will be back

In a big lover of all things horror. Anytime I visit a new city I always search for curiosity and oddity shops. I was hooked the moment my cousin mentioned a bar that used to be a mortuary! Loved the ambiance, the drink selection, and the staff. Would recommend to anyone that loves to venture into the unordinary.

What an interesting little bar. This place used to be a mortuary and you can definitely tell by the decor and lighting. The background music was excellent and not too loud that makes it easy for a good conversation. You order a the bar and pick up at the bar even if you're sitting at the bench. We decided to order a classic Margarita (very strong and Smokey but good overall) and a Ken Tiki (very refreshing and flavorful). They don't serve food, but they did had 3 small appetizers (like olives and such). The only place that was run down was the bathroom, a little scary for my comfort but at least was functioning.

Just had drinks, but loved the place. Cozy and intimate, even on the patio. Would definitely come back and try the food.

Owl's Club had a solid happy hour and tasty craft cocktails. Happy hour cocktails are $8- several dollars off the regular cost- every day from 5-7 (my favorites are the vodka gimlet and the bee's knees.) Craft cocktails take time to make, so be prepared for a bit of a wait if they're busy, but the end product is well worth it. Owl's Club is inside of an old mortuary, so it's not one of Tucson's light and airy bars- this place is dark. But when the summer temperatures are scorching, it's pretty nice to sit in the dark and dream of cooler weather.

This was a super unique experience. I really enjoy a good old fashioned, so we went to this speakeasy. It was an old church style building and we sat in church pews with kneelers on it also. We eventually ended up at the bar and I really enjoyed listening to the bartender and his experience with the top liquors. I was very impressed and he made a great drink.

Usually a great time at Owls but Tuesday must've been the most awkward and uncomfortable time I've had anywhere. The guy behind the bar must've been having his first day because he took an ungodly amount of time making drinks for me and my wife. I don't know if he's bartended in a cocktail bar before since he had a flashlight in his mouth while reading the recipes. needless to say this basically just blinded us and was a total vibe killer. His helper was pleasant but I definitely can't say the same for the bartender. Very off putting and amateur. Very frustrated and he did not help the energy in there. I used to come in a lot over a year ago and it was a LOT funner. Maybe this is what they've settled on or maybe it's just Tuesdays? There's a lot of talent at Owls from what ive heard and remember. Him not so much

This place has the coolest atmosphere for sure but more than that the drinks were amazing! I had an Old Fashioned and a Ken-Tiki while my husband had a bunch of different things (can't remember exactly what he had). All of them were very good to say the least. The bartender was the sweetest guy ever and we could see that he was very thorough in making the drinks perfectly. During our time therethere was also a concert in the next room and it was such a treat! All in all we had a great experience and very happy with our decision considering we had only three nights in Tucson. Just go there if you want to have great drinks and conversation in a chill place.

Owls club is a great bar to stop at if you can spare the time. Friendly staff, great drinks, and I enjoyed the environment. If I'm ever back in Tucson- I will stop here again.

The Owls Club is the closest thing to the goth bars I'm used to going to from PDX. My bartender was extremely attentive and made me thee best dirty martini, and yes, I'd go back in a heartbeat. Overall, this is a wonderful place for drinks and to people watch.

I've been to The Owls Club twice now - once for a birthday and just recently during the Vegan Market they hosted. The atmosphere is so cool - as a former funeral home, it's got a dark, spooky vibe. The service at the bar was quick and we were able to find a pew booth to slip in to. (Yes, they have booths made of old church pews!). They offer a decent selection of both alcoholic and non-alcoholic options too. Definitely worth checking out!

Drinks are pretty good. Pricey and usually very busy during peak times. Not a lot of seating but a very specific creepy vibe.

The entrance is off of the small side street called Scott Ave. The front door is easily missed. Once in, you step into a dark barren room (there's a large rustic coffee table off to the side). Barley four steps beyond this empty foyer you enter the bar, modestly lit with dim but plentiful points of light. Wood abounds, including walls and seating benches. On this Friday evening around 8-9pm there were two unrelated patrons that each had a dog at the bar. Looking around and taking in the ambience you might think you're in a neat little cellar speakeasy. With the covered and limited windows I don't think it would be any brighter at high noon... and that's not a bad thing! Food is limited to 4 modest appetizers (olives, bowl of nuts, etc), no kitchen fare. Cocktails are this establishments forte. We ordered the Margarita ($10 for about 6 oz) and the Ken-Tiki ($14 in a tall highball glass, approx 8 oz but with equal amounts of ice). The drinks are on the expensive side for Tucson. The margarita was "ok"... strong and not too sweet but not extraordinary (like the Century Room for e.g.). The Ken-Tiki was... terrific. We both loved the variety of liquors, including bourbon, rum, almond, and cinnamon. The house music was also very nice - indie/blues I think - and not so loud that you couldn't easily carry on a conversation which was a plus. Rumor has it they sometimes have live music and that would have made this venture 5-stars. But between the conjoined open-air booths with hard benches and the large dogs coming/going (we love/have dogs but it was just disconcerting having random people walking in off the street with a non-utility animal and wandering throughout the establishment or sitting at the bar while their dogs circled)... it's hard to explain but the whole atmosphere wasn't what we were expecting or were prepared for, so I'm sharing it here just in case you're looking for something different... or perhaps exactly like this :)

LOW-KEY! Quaint, hole in the wall. The ambiance speaks for itself! Candle lit, pews and outdoor seating for groups. This western bar is a sight to see, a MUST to stop by for at least one drink! The bartenders were very knowledgeable and their appreciation for creating drinks was enjoyable. Funky, refreshing drinks!! I recommend light and fruity, the darker drinks were heavy for my taste. Warning: Absinthe gives you a WICKED headache !!!

Sweet little gem off the beaten path downtown. Drinks are really good but they are high-end. I always get at least one whiskey sour. Definitely a good place to get a drink

Yes, the cocktails are expertly crafted and unique, but the bartenders take their job way too seriously. Like, stop being cool for a minute and just be a human being, or at least pretend to! The interaction was so awkward, I felt like I was intruding just by ordering a drink. Super weird vibes. Gila River (bourbon, creme de cacao, Ancho Reyes, lemon, mole bitters) was excellent, but we bounced after one drink. A shame because the dark old church ambiance is pretty cool.

The music outside last weekend was horrible and way too loud for relaxing by the fire. Inside was packed at the bar and one male bartender with brown and gray hair/beard was a jerk. No need for attitude to people waiting for their drinks. The red headed bar tender was awesome and served great drinks. I will not recommend this location unless you just need something close to the Hampton downtown with an outdoor area that allows smoking. We were able to enjoy our friends and cigars minus the music.

Gloves the decor and overall the place was low light, which added to the ambiance. Drinks were creative and more importantly, tasted great.

Located on S. Scott ave. Is this very interesting hidden bar in what was once a mortuary! Loaded with decor from the 20's this place sure takes you back into time! Tonight like any other night I ordered there delicious old fashion! Prolly one of the best in town! After we got our long awaited old fashioned from the bar we went out side to the patio. It was pretty full and found seating next to the fire pit. Noticing there were hot amber in the fire pit we decided to grab some logs and tossed them in. The fire was for sure a nice touch. After a few old fashion and a few fire logs the bartender came out in a very rude manner accusing us starting the fire - calling us rude names. After exchanging a few words with the bartender we decided enough is enough and toss our drink and walk out! Supposedly your not allowed to have any fires! But they had no posted signs nor no one told us. They also had it posted on there web site to come and enjoy their fire pit. This situation could of been avoided if he would of approached us in a calm manner instead of making assumptions. We love this place but prolly would never come back after this experience. KCYE

Great funky bar with killer cocktails!!! Loved the disco bar! Everyone was really friendly and interesting !

Their website says they are open on Sundays from 5pm to midnight. I got there a little after 5 and waited until 5:30pm. They remained closed and I never saw anyone inside getting ready to open. I would like to try again but they need to be open when they say they are or update their website with the correct hours.

One of the best Hidden bars in Tucson. The viewing room is a great place to just have some drinks and chill. Top notch Bartenders. High end liqueurs are available.

This was the second place my wife took me for a drink to celebrate my birthday. There was a gentleman in a wheelchair who was really friendly and this was the highlight of the stop. While I love the name of the establishment, the experience could have been better. We arrived at around 7pm and it was almost full. The bartender was not friendly and the vibe of the place is just odd and uncomfortable. I had the Samba da Morte and it was ok.

there is something reassuring about a bar that a funeral home !! i loooove the owls club - def a staple in my bar rotation :) never a bad drink! never a bad vibe!! cool bartenders come here if you want to meet a ghost

We love to go out bar hopping and thought we would give this one a try. Very very dark inside, negative energy vibe and the drinks are just average or below.

Tucson's well kept secret. You could walk right by the entrance and not know there's a bar inside. Wonderful atmosphere. Dark, romantic, fun. Excellent drinks. Hate to give this secret away but the owner's and staff deserve the shoutout. By the way, this place used to be a funeral home :)

We've been overcharged before but also the service is very slow, bartenders are dismissive, rude, and sometimes aggressive. Too bad it's a great location and great outdoor space. We won't be back.

Seemed like a cool, unique vibe, but when your hear frat things about the drinks, you would think the bartenders might have a good recommendation. Instead, the bartender couldn't be bothered by my wuestion

Such a coooool vibe in here. Music is random but so great! There's candles lit, gorgeous yet simple decor. Old school hacienda... so dope. Also I love whiskey! Yummmm

Service was amazing from my favorite bartender ever! Loved the vibe of the place and the creepy, dark corners! Live music was a little too loud but we just went into the adjoining room and had fun chatting and sipping on our drinks. Will definitely be back!

Best mixologist I've found in TUS. Very knowledgeable and not pretentious. Cool bar and outdoor patio area. Really enjoyed.... A two-round stop when bar-hopping.

first time back in a few years and the place has really fallen off. Bartenders seemed to hate even being there. Had a pour of Barrel Dovetail whiskey and it was a whopping $27 which is INSANE; for reference that same bottle is around $18 for a 2oz pour at nearby bars. Do yourself a favor and go to Good Oak, Sidecar, Batch, or really anywhere else. You'll have a better time and be charged a normal amount.
