One of the best things about bar-hopping is having a designated driver to take you around. Plus, if you pull up in a huge bus, everyone in the area will know you mean business.

United Way of Tucson and Southern Arizona’s Young Leaders United is hosting the ever-so-popular Dive Bar Bus Tour on Saturday, April 6. The tour takes you to five dive bar gems, which have yet to be announced.

“Every dollar raised supports United Way’s mission to empower youth in Tucson’s community. Let’s dive into fun with purpose!”

Here’s how it works:

Meet at the El Con Center, 3601 E. Broadway Blvd., at 5:45 p.m. in the northeast parking lot by The Home Depot. The bus leaves promptly at 6 p.m. so don’t be late! Also, please remember to bring a photo ID and a signed waiver form.

Early Bird Tickets (from now until Thursday, March 7) are $30 per person. Then, from Friday, March 8 – Thursday, April 4, the tickets will be $35 each. If you wait longer than that to purchase your seat on the bus, tickets will be $40 per person.

The moral of the story is “Don’t drag your feet because this bus is ready to rock and roll — taking you to classy dive bars around Tucson.”

Most of the bars on the route (they’ll be announced soon) provide a drink special for the Dive Bar Bus Tour group.

Giving Back to United Way

Young Leaders United raises funds for local “opportunity youth” and the members aged 16-24 years old who are currently not engaged in school or work. The money raised supports access to resources like hygiene supplies, bus passes, and programs like workforce readiness training and GED support.

Therefore, the Dive Bar Bus Tour is a great opportunity to meet new people who are also passionate about supporting youth.
