Hop on your bike, take a stroll, and dive into the adventure of The Loop — officially known as The Chuck Huckelberry Loop. This winding wonder weaves through the scenic routes of Tucson, the outskirts of Marana, the mountainous views of Oro Valley, and more. As a matter of fact, USA Today once recognized The Loop as the top bike path in America.
The Loop has multiple paths and if you’re taking on one of the larger routes you may need a pitstop for a cold one. Here’s a list of 15 of our favorite spots to grab a beer along The Loop, which aren’t too far off of the path. Additionally, we’ve included the Oro Valley/CDO/Marana Extensions as well.

Just as Dragoon Brewing is not located in the Dragoons, Catalina Brewing is not located in Catalina. It’s close, though, kind of. Situated near Ina and I-10, Catalina Brewing features a unique lineup of beer plus a menu full of items that they also make in-house.
Dragoon is more than just a brewing company, it’s a community of beer lovers who are passionate about making and sharing the best beer possible.

The taproom, found in the Oro Valley Marketplace (near Charred Pie and Tuk Tuk Thai), offers a selection of 20 craft beers, 10 wines, and at least one hard cider and seltzer — all on tap.

Louie’s Cantina is a go-to bar for the neighbors, workers, and those seeking a dark yet well-lit respite in that east-end area. Over at this east side bar, you can experience several beers on tap, in bottles, or cans, plus that same lauded michelada, whichever your preference of mix or beer, available at the sister location, Louie’s Pub.
This spot is a total beer lover’s paradise with an amazing selection of craft brews. Plus, the views from the patio are social media-worthy. As for food, their Fish and Chips, Carne Asada Tacos, or Steak and Frites are all must-try dishes.

Pick a sport any sport—Trident is the place to watch it. If that game happens to fall on a weekday during happy hour, you’ll get added bang for your buck (and more fuel for your fandom).
To many, it’s known as an escape — a place where you can enjoy a cold beer, get lost in an intriguing conversation, and catch a fresh breeze outside on the patio. They think of it as their getaway from the everyday grind. Some plainly call it “Hop Shop.” No matter what it means to you or what you tend to call it, Tucson Hop Shop is a wonderful spot to simply hang out.
Not just beer but cocktails, too! While the outdoor seating is perfect for taking advantage of Tucson’s cool nights, there’s one more notable perk — the liquor license applies to the whole MSA Annex, so guests can walk around with their libations to check out the neighboring businesses in shipping containers.
