Good Oak Bar, located at 316 E. Congress St. in downtown Tucson, offers a cozy and inviting atmosphere with its warm yellow lighting, exposed brick walls, and comfortable booths. The bar features a handcrafted wooden counter and a black-and-white photo booth, adding to its vintage charm. Its proximity to the historic Rialto Theatre makes it an ideal spot for pre- or post-show drinks. ​ The bar is renowned for its extensive selection of local and regional whiskeys, agave-based spirits, and Arizona beers and wines. The Smoke on the Water cocktail features a combination of bourbon, Cynar, dry vermouth, and barrel-smoked maple syrup.

@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 Read the article on Tucsonfoodie.com@Pueblovida is closing its original downtown taproom this fall, 12 years after opening, and moving next door to a larger space at 121 E.
