Classic, but great, dive bar. Nothing fancy about this place at all. Excellent, friendly bartenders. One even did tricks for us. Fun drink specials (I had the Mexican flag- shot of tequila, shot of lime?, and shot of tomato juice- sounds weird but I liked it) Pool tables and poker going on. Plenty of parking and seating. Not fancy BUT FUN! I would come back. Cool green color inside- hence the name "The Mint". There is one of those Truly Nolan old-time cars you see all around Tucson out front. People said they are used for "hooking up" if we are interested. Uhhh... no thanks :)

Sabra and Heather. The only reason to go to the bar is to see Sabra Faulk and Heather Hardy. They do a great show here. Otherwise, go elsewhere. The bartenders can't handle anything other than beer and shots, the music is waaay too loud (forget having a conversation), the beer selection sucks and the stupid stage light is irritating. There are great dive bars in Tucson like the Buffet, the Golden Nugget and several in the 4th Ave./downtown area. The only reason to go here is to see those grrrls play and that is exceptional.

RUNNER-UP: Best Dive in Tucson The Mint competes with the Buffet as the best dive in Tucson. Cheap, strong drinks will get you where you're going, and fast. It's a diverse crowd with a low-key atmosphere, best for slumping in with a friend for long, private conversation (as long as it isn't fucking karaoke night, which cost this place a star.) There is also plenty of room for groups on an off night. There's no food service, but almost every time I'm in there's a roaming tamale-bearer if you need a snack. The only real drawback (aside from the fucking karaoke) is that it's in a daytime commercial area that isn't inconvenient, but kind of nowhere--so make sure you've got a ride.

The Mint excels as a classic Tucson dive bar. It's not far from the center of town and the university, and it's a great place to grab cheap drinks while shooting pool. When I was a student at the UA, this was definitely on my list of semi-favorites, along with The Shelter (just down the street). I really hope these guys sue the trendy new Scottsdale lounge of the same name to protect their mark. They could at least write a cease and desist letter, right?

They charged an extra whiskey from us and we didn't mind it. When we returned there next week, we explained the situation and expected a free drink or at least an apology. Instead, the bartender got mad at us and implied we were lying. She backed off only when we showed her our account summary and finally gave us the drink we already paid for. What a pity that they have such a bartender, considering that other people here are super friendly.

OMG... This was some of the most fun we had at all of our bars. A DJ, a scantily clad elf, and a toys for tots drive made the best stop. Random dancing, hitting the stage, and a very cheap set of drinks. They had pool tables and a dance area. Definitely a dive bar worth checking out.

I attended my first Don't Blink Burlesque show at The Mint. It's a cozy little dive bar. The drinks are good and cheap and the service was excellent. They have the burlesque show perform nearly every weekend. It's a small stage and you feel like a part of the show,which is a nice touch.

I live in the neighborhood. Stopped in for a few, was happy to find a band playing. However, Alison the bartender was a complete Twat. I sat at the bar and was told "I'll be right with you". Alison completely ignored me for a good 30 minutes. She served the people sitting next to me twice. When I asked how she was doing for the third time Alison said once again " I'll be right with you", then she proceeded to walk away. Where she went, I have no idea. After another 5 minutes I decided to head elsewhere. Thanks Alison. Your a complete Twat.

You'll feel like you are walking into a David Lynch film, and I do not mean this in a negative way. The new owners have shined up the Mint so well that nary a speck of dust dwells among the bottles. The burlesque stage, heavy with brocade drapery, is a spangly dancer's dream. We popped in on a night when violin virtuoso Heather Hardy was rocking the stage. Enthusiastic dancers shook their best Axl Rose moves and the bar crowd, heavy on tie dye and shoulder pads, are a friendly group. We'll be back for burlesque.

awesome sound and lighting for a "dive bar" and tue nights have djs playing underground EDM. house, trance, dubstep, trap and drum and bass!! a little bit of everything. cheap drinks, and no cover!
(5)Christy K.
Wow- everyone we met tonight was awesome! We had a great time singing karaoke, chugging cheap dunks, and dancing. What a chill place to hang.out! We'll be back for sure! Great service, clean bathrooms, friendly patrons, and a variety of fun events every night of the week.

I LOVE dive bars, but for some reason I'm just not crazy about this one. Service is not the friendliest nor is it the best. Been twice and same impression both times.
(2)Sylvia M.
I love the place. Judy the manager is amazing. Mimosas, touch screen games, and jukebox! Great first time experience :)

Call it what is is: A dive bar. Walked in, seemed pretty chill. Lots of drunk people. Cheap drinks. The dude who owned all of the machines/games tried to hustle me into playing them. But he was nice. There were also jager hookers there pimping the green drink. they were annoying.

This place is super easy to miss, but Super hard to forget once you have gone One of the few bars in the Universe that serve super popcorn instead of peanuts. Supposedly it is the Coconut butter that makes it some of the best Popcorn i have ever had, and let me tell you i air pop kernels that i buy from specialty stores, this ain't your Orvill RedenBauker(sp?) crap. They have cash prize Pool Tourneys and Poker on Thursdays and Saturday, that sometimes have cash prizes. The bartenders are nice and all of em are pretty cute.....ssssssss* hot sound* Back area for Smoking(with your Drink), and some colorful characters as well, no But seriously like Big Red Guys, and Really Blonde Hair, and some Artful Dodger Sweaties..... So REMEMBER 3540 E GRANT... dont miss it

A place for old people to get wasted. Roommate and I went on a random Friday night and the bartender kept calling us babies because we were the only people under 50 that had been there in the last month. However, still a cool vibe seeing people in their 50's and 60's getting bombed!

What a weird surprise. Small dive bar, definitely seems to be local neighborhood folks. Couple of pool tables in crowded quarters, but probably makes for introductions "oops, excuse me, my name is Steel. You have purty eyes..." I used a coupon for a free drink I've carried in my wallet since 1988. I think it was older than the bar maids. The one turned to the other and showed the coupon with reverence. "I've never seen such a coupon. It's an antique!" The Mint also hosts fantastic music. Oh go on, drop in for a drink, you know you want one.

Ah dive bars... really there are none that I dislike. But in this town, there are a few I would frequent over the Mint. To each their own. As for the establishment itself... well, it's a dive bar. The staff are friendly and can pour a good drink. The beer selection is standard for dive bars. The crowd is a mix of folks from all walks of life. Nothing too outrageous (it's not the Buffet!) but still no lack in variety. Two pool tables keep you occupied when sitting at the bar has taken it's toll. For smokers, there's a caged-in area behind the bar. It's not a smoker's paradise, but at least you can bring your beverage out with you. There's live music, but I can't say what kind of schedule that may or may not follow. Bottom line, for anyone who appreciates what a dive bar has to offer, this place will not disappoint. Check it out, you might just find that place "where everybody knows your name"!

We went in search of Monday night karaoke, and Mint Cocktails seemed to fit the bill. However the image of jaded dowagers sipping mojitos and vodka stingers in a decrepit, velvet walled lounge quickly evaporated upon our arrival... The crowd was small, 30-something working class regulars. The repertoire of choice was an eclectic mix of death metal, rockabilly, and rat pack. Patrons found matching pitch a real challenge, so the renditions were particularly spicy. The mint-colored vintage 60s interior features cabaret seating, pool tables, a supercrane machine, video games, and hoola hoops hanging on the walls. In the back was a cigarette vending machine (GASP!) and an outdoor patio. The service was friendly yet spacey... the bartender informed us that the featured holiday cocktail was unavailable since they had run out of egg nog. However during our second round, he found the egg nog, and gave me the drink gratis. Despite the complimentary touch, the booze seemed rather watered down.
