A bar in the basement of a former funeral home? Makes sense to us. Tough Luck Club is a stylish basement bar in downtown Tucson, tucked beneath Reilly Craft Pizza & Drink. Comfy leather booths line the stone walls, and there are numerous stools in front of the long, wooden bar. The bar has quickly gained a following for its intimate character and inventive craft cocktails served without pretension. Come here to sip on a domestic beer, or to down cheekily-named cocktails made with precision and care. The “something for everyone” philosophy is done right here. Mostly, though, you’ll want to come for the inventive and fun cocktail menu, which features riffs on themes, and which are authored exclusively for the bar by its talented crew of mixologists.

Recommended for Bars because: Tough Luck Club regularly invents some of the most clever craft cocktails in town.
