Dating in Tucson
Tucson dating often starts easy: meet for tea or coffee at Scented Leaf Tea House - University, Raptor Canyon Cafe, Ding Tea Tucson, or HeeMee Coffee + Bakery on Congress. The tea, coffee shop, bubble tea, and breakfast options give you low-pressure ways to talk. From there, you can walk a park like Alvernon Park, Catalina Park, or Santa Cruz River Park. For culture, try Tucson Museum of Art, Museum of Contemporary Art, or Arizona State Museum. It’s a city where a simple coffee date can slide into a museum wander or an outdoor sit, depending on the weather and mood.
For dinner, Tucson gives you pizza, mexican, barbecue, american, pasta, italian, ethiopian, juice, and more at spots like Rocco's Little Chicago, Tacos Apson, The Bashful Bandit Barbeque, The National, Berry Greens Juice Bar, Anello, Fired Pie, Caruso's, Cafe Desta, or Shake Smart. Afterward, drinks can mean IBT'S, Borderlands Brewing Co., Owl's Club, Brick Box Brewery, Brother John’s Beer, Bourbon, and BBQ, The Broadway, Tap & Bottle, Sky Bar, Tucson Hop Shop, or Cobra Arcade Bar. For entertainment, pick Fox Theatre, The Loft Cinema, Troubadour Theatre, Linda Ronstadt Music Hall, Rialto Theatre, The Screening Room, Arizona Theatre Company, or DeMeester Performance Center. The night can be as casual or as planned as you want.
