Reviews For Surly Wench Pub

this place reminds me of the old blank club/ the Ritz back in San Jose. '80s nights and goth nights, and the occasional burlesque night as well. pretty much the coolest club in Tucson if you are not in the country, nor 21 years old and waiting in line to get into the playground. I never did get the food here, but I should remedy that. they have Sierra Nevada, and they have booze, and they have the most live dance floor that I am aware of in the area. there is a decidedly matte black aesthetic to everything, including the bartenders, which I especially appreciate. everyone is welcome, and everyone has a good time

Great punk bar. We came from out of state looking to find our community away from home. Our bartender was great, they have a pool table, and nice patio. We were pleasantly surprised they had karaoke going when we arrived! We had such a great time.

The vibes in this goth bar are immaculate! With a dark interior and black walls, they have multiple shows throughout the week (drag shows, karaoke nights). There are fun booths, barseats, and an outdoor patio. The space also includes a few arcade games (Ms. Pac-Man, Tetris) and a pool table. The bartender is also AMAZING. Besides the many delicious cocktails on the menu, she was also willing to make any drinks we were interested in trying! One does need to show ID before entering and note that on weekend nights, it does get quite crowded.

Never had the food here. Cant really say. Drinks are legit. Prices ain't bad. Service was more than adiquate. Music was ON POINT. And if you know tucson downtown... you know that me saying that means this place is probably the best bar on tucsons 4th Ave. The amount of FuqBois was almost zero. I know I know... youre in disbelief. But i promise my word is true. The bartender was a sweetheart and helped my date select a drink which she loved. I usually see Leigh down here but she has sadly moved toward different ventures. I hope they offered her severance and stock options or at least partial ownership. You can credit Leigh for my frequency of this fine establishment. That and the music as well as the themed nights. Good place. Works well for dates. I should apparently try the food. *please.... fix the pool table*

Came here to get a bite to eat and was very impressed with their signature fries. The chicken sandwich was very good and so was the burger, I just thought the Burger would come with ketchup and mustard. Good prices

Very cool bar in 4th avenue in downtown Tucson. I stopped by in a Thursday (karaoke night apparently) and had some tots and a “cherry limeade”. Staff was friendly and helpful and the food and drinks were top notch. This whole area of downtown is loaded with cool bars and shops but this place stood out to me on my visit.

Love this bar. Good drink selection. Fun, relaxing atmosphere with great service. Shelby took great care of us. We had the sampler from the fryer. Everything was delicious. The eclectic assortment of decorations is charming.
