Bawker Bawker Cider House holds the distinction of Tucson's first and only hard cider taproom, nestled along Historic Fourth Avenue. The taproom serves an array of jewel-toned, house-made hard ciders, and the interior carries a colorful, welcoming energy that reflects the owners' playful spirit. Chicken-themed touches, warm lighting, and a lively yet relaxed vibe make the 21+ space feel like a neighborhood gathering spot. They feature at least ten ciders on tap, plus they release a new cider and a new cider slushie each month.

@Pueblovida is closing its original downtown taproom this fall, 12 years after opening, and moving next door to a larger space at 121 E. Broadway Blvd.

The new taproom will seat 100+ guests and feature 14 taps, a curated wine program and, for the first time, a restaurant. Chef Scott Girod of @Anello_pizzeria will open a new restaurant in the shared space, expected to follow the taproom’s late fall 2026 opening in early 2027.

“This taproom has always been more than four walls. It’s where we’ve celebrated milestones, introduced hundreds of new beers, watched friendships grow and built a community we’re incredibly grateful for. While we’re excited about what’s next, it’s impossible not to feel sentimental about saying goodbye to the place where it all happened.” — @Pueblovida Co-founder Linette Antillon
