UniConcepts, the Tucson-based hospitality group behind Gentle Ben’s Brewing Company and Bacio Italiano, expanded its University Boulevard footprint a little over a year ago with Agave House Modern Cocina.

It’s been a hit so far and the hits keep coming when referring to new eats!

Over at 943 E. University Blvd. #171, Agave House has been a convenient spot for students, but it’s not limited to that. There’s something new for folks from all over town and anyone seeking local twists on classic dishes.

Agave House’s kitchen is open daily from 11 a.m. – 9 p.m. Happy Hour is 2 – 5 p.m. on Monday – Friday with $5 margaritas and $2 off all appetizers.
