This is the favorite destination for the hardcore sports fanatic. Surrounded by tubes on all sides, you can watch your favorite game till you drop from the bar stool. To get you through this demanding routine, you can order from a variety of all-American food on the menu such as burgers, sandwiches and pizza without having to spend a lot. Several brands of domestic beers are available on tap. For exercise, you can always get up and play a game of pool, or move from the bar to the shaded patio by the parking lot. The clientele at Fort Lowell Depot Bar & Grill consists mostly of regulars who come here for lunch and are predominantly male.
Here's one of the most popular sports bars in Tucson, run by an ex-school teacher who in 1978 decided his real calling was to sell pastrami. He made the right decision, since the place is still buzzing with people drinking beer from big pitchers and munching on pastrami sandwiches. Other than watching athletic games on TV, clients pass their time playing video games or doing karaoke. The kitchen offers all-American fare, from tuna melt sandwiches to chili cheeseburgers. Special house brews are available in pints, ponys and pitchers.
