Over on the corner of Tucson Boulevard and Sixth Street, Bob Dobb’s is a perfect neighborhood bar for folks living in or near the historic Sam Hughes neighborhood.
The restaurant at 2501 E Sixth St. has been dishing out brews, cocktails, and bar food since the early ’80s, becoming a popular spot for game day. It’s a nifty combo of a headquarters for University of Arizona fans and Chicago sports followers with walls decked with Wildcats memorabilia and Chicago Bulls, Bears, and Cubs collectibles.
It’s a place for party animals.
It’s also a place to grab impressive sandwiches.
The menu has changed over the years but a sandwich you should consider checking out soon is The Big Fat Randy. It’s an Italian sub sandwich with turkey, capicola, salami, and mozzarella, topped with a hefty amount of Romaine lettuce and a housemade Bruschetta mix.
It has flavor, it has spice, and it’ll make you feel nice even when your favorite team, the San Diego Padres, is losing terribly to the Los Angeles Dodgers in the 2024 NLDS. Sure, that example was a little close to home for me but you catch my drift.
Also, pay attention to the whiteboard on the west side of the bar — you’ll find deals on drinks and food depending on the day of the week.
The sports bar is open from 11 a.m. – 10 p.m. on Monday – Thursday, 11 a.m. – midnight on Friday, 10 a.m. – 2 a.m. on Saturday, and 10 a.m. – 10 p.m. on Sunday (hours are always subject to change).
Bob Dobb’s is located at 2501 E. Sixth St. For more information, call (520) 325-3767.

More about MattAt a very young age, Matt Sterner was gifted with the artistic ability to masterfully roll a burrito to the highest of standards, but the wrapped medley of delicious innards wasn’t his first love. Matt’s first true love was a combination of reading, writing, and creating. He grew up reading comics, the ingredients list of his shampoo and conditioner bottles, choose-your-own-adventure books, and the Scrabble dictionary — something he found useful when challenging his grandmother to a game.
He attended college at New Mexico State University and graduated with a degree in Digital Filmmaking. One of his favorite classes was screenwriting because he became responsible for the story’s birth before it came to life on-screen. After school, Matt took on numerous positions at a local television station in Tucson. From dealing out stories about heartbreak to producing “fluffier” content for a lifestyle broadcast, he learned what it takes to adapt to the many emotions the world of media can stir. Since 2017, Matt has dabbled in the culinary world of Tucson as well as San Diego, California from time to time.
If you’re in the mood for strange stories, head over to his pride and joy, wonkytimes.com. And in case you’re curious — yes, after all of this time, he still manages to roll a killer burrito.
