I love this place since the new owner took over! The staff is amazing they always take care of you, and if not, they find a way to make you happy. The prices are more than fair! The bartenders (Tina and Rhea) are lovely ladies and will make sure your taken car of! I love that a local east side bar is keeping good prices for a fun time

This is my favorite dive bar in Tucson ! I have lived her my whole 42 years of life, and after the new owners, this place has the best liquor selection, and fantastic beers that aren't over priced!

We dropped by the Music Box as an after party on our way home. WOW, it was so much more than we expected! Our plan was a quick stop, maybe a song or two. We lost track of time with the great music, fun crowd, and strong drinks! I'm a non drinker (went pro and retired early) and probably had as much fun as anyone!!! I don't know if they serve food, we had just eaten and I didn't pay attention. Lol

This place hasn't changed much in....well, forever. It may be my friendly neighborhood dive bar. RIP to the Bacon Nachos. There is a fun little group for karaoke on Thursday nights that might liven up your life a little-especially for the swingset riders... The Bartender, Rhea is the best! I look forward to her every time. It's always fun, even with drunken clowns, six Long Islands in.

The new management has cleaned the place up and added a wonderful selection of local beers, great whiskies, mezcals, tequilas and more. It's still the dive you loved, with the same things you expect from that, but now there are more options as well. Great service, great music, fun times.

A’ hokey pokeie good time. Great bartenders, a super friendly owner and be sure to follow on social for your taste of a night for: stand up, freestyle rap, country, rock and great flea market style night in the patio. Drink the Pabst on draft. It’s cheap and a complex carbohydrate.
