Typical of what you would expect from a quaint Family-owned, British-style sports bar. I like going here with my girlfriend with a messy bun and oversized sweatshirt the benches and super comfortable and food is better than you would expect for a pub. We like bringing the kids here too cause the enviorment is super Chill. Youll have to google WHEN but people love going for LIVE trivia night.

This is another local favorite Italian Resturant of ours. They have GluttenFree Pizza and everything (I think) is organic... or at least feeels organic. Intimate setting we always sit on the patio.

This place is an Awesome Hole In the Wall. We LOVE going here for an adult date night. Wouldn't recommend it for younger kids. The website refers to it as... "Southwestern classic for exotic game & steak in a warm, romantic setting with fireplaces & patio." https://jonathanscork.com/jonathans-cork-menu/

This place is TOTALLY Eclectic. The menu is very robust, I dont know how to describe it which is why I guess they call it Eclectic. Its suppose to be a Mexican Cafe, but then they have burgers, omlets and cornbeef LOL. So pretty much there is something for everyone - I enjoy their salads but everytime we have ever gone we always enjoy ourselves. The food is good... the scenery lacks luster . https://www.eclecticcafetucson.com/m/24358/p/298694

Super Cheap BREAKFAST only $3.95! My family LOVES the Brawley Special (its a full plate of food ...we always regret it when we deviate - lol. The kids love the small stack of pancakes which is HUGE . Its the cheapest full service meal you will find, super relaxed kinda southern, going in your PJs and no makeup is totally acceptable... its just like mama's cooking (but their mama doesn't burn it.)

Nicole’s Tucson Favorites (not very close)

This place is the BEST!!!!! In less than an hour from the Happy House, you can be in the beautiful Mountains. Its 20 degrees cooler in the summer, actually HAS change of color in the fall, and snow in the winter. My family is considering AirBNB up there too... so lmk if your interested. But its seriously AMAZING. It has a cute little town called Summerhaven at the peak. Places to visit there: (The Sawmill OR Pizza/ Cookie Cabin...the cookies are BOMB, the pizzas underwhelming esp fo high $. The Rainbow Shop is always a hit or miss but worth pondering, they have a cute Ski High local t-shirt shop and the General Store has a cute little trinkets & amazing Fudge. The Hiking trails are super fun, beautiful yearound! In the summer its a perfect place to picnic or even fish and camp. I cant say enough great things about Mount Lemmon - it truely has a special place in my SOUL. You will LOVE it too!

This is my absolute Favorite secret treasure that Tucson has to offer. I would give this 10stars. It’s a cell phone-free paradise and a treat for your soul! Typically twice a year We will treat ourselves to a complete Reset and this is the place! Go early- stay late all meals included. You will have to go online and book early because included classes fill up. Also rather than spending thousands of dollars a night sleeping there- Take advantage of being in Tucson and get the local “Reconnect day package” bring a suit and wear yoga/comfy clothes. It’s a great spiritual place to ground and be still and come back feeling like a million bucks! The reiki is legit, massages are amazing and food is incredible - you will not regret . Not a place you will want to bring kids

This is a fun Night out there’s a ton of amazing downtown restaurants too many to list! But this is my favorite Tucson escape room, we’ve been to a few and this one is the best in Tucson. Our kids LoVe going and we have also gone with other couples on date nights. It’s a fun time if you like a little mystery. Book reservation online and choose your room on the website. About 25 min away.

This is such a great little Tucson gem. It’s about 30 min from The Happy :) Place. Hard to describe what it really is so here’s the website mercadodistrict.com. I don’t know how to describe it basically super local and trendy they often times have little festivals and food trucks that attracts open minded people (very chill local vibe)

This Place is Super cool.... not really sure how they afford staying in business but definitely worth checking out!! Super Arizona-ish and its literally almost in your backyard. They have a fun experience resturant called Pinnacle Peak (you'll likely need a reservation on Friday/Saturday) Wear a NeckTIE if you DARE!!!!! Super fun for all ages. There live gun-shows, carnival rides for little kids and a lot of run around space and even a little magic store and opportunity to pan for gold. Its Super close to the AirBNB and you'll have a great time. Must see. https://www.traildusttown.com/

Less than 10 min away and located near our Closest shopping Mall -Park Place. This place is so much fun! Our kids LOVE it and we have also had some fun date nights here. There’s a bowling alley inside and lots of fun arcade games. More upscale than golf N stuff but that also reflects in what you spend lol. Kinda like a Dave and Busters and has an open bar -but the food is kinda crappy 🙅🏼‍♀️so eat before hand.
