“ Well I was walking my dog one night by the place and asked someone out front smoking for a cigarette they gave me one offered a light and a drink. Then I went in not knowing if my dog was okay to be there then the bartender asked if my dog could have a puppy cup which is whip cream in a plastic cup. D.O.Ge went to town on that cup and have to admit the place is nice and comfortable. Thanks again for the hospitality. ”

“ Very cool cocktail bar, full of eclectic cold war era memorabilia. Drinks are priced right, atmosphere is chill, and its definitely a great spot to unwind. ”

“ If you enjoy a bit of quirkiness, do not miss this place! A bit off the beaten path, but easy stop on your way back to Tucson from Saguaro East. ”

“ Interesting local bar set up in an old bomb shelter. The walls are draped with pictures of JFK. One bartender in a Friday night busting her butt. Neat hole in the wall with a good atmosphere. ”

“ First visit to Tucson from north Texas. Loved this funky old school bar. Turns out much of the decor is original and loved the lighting fixtures. Separate and enclosed smoking room! The staff was super helpful and got busy on a Monday night. Dont forget to get your free bumper sticker! Hope to return to Tucson so I can visit again! ”

“ 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. The outside is pretty cool and an older building, but even better when you walk inside. It was like stepping back in time and the vibe was awesome! They had a long list of Martinis and Halloween Specials as we came at the end of October. I started with a Bloodytini which was amazing and I couldnt get enough! If you like a good Bloody Mary, this should be one to try! My second drink was off their Halloween Specials Menu and I got the Bobbing for Poison Apples. Let me just say the drinks were fantastic and you couldnt beat the price. I am glad our friends brought us here and would love to come back again in the future. So if you are in the area and looking for a good cocktail, try this place! ”
