UPDATE: HUB is currently operating out of PLAYGROUND until early fall 2024

Located on historic Congress Street in Tucson, HUB is right in the heart of all the excitement that downtown has to offer. Our dining room gives warm romantic vibes, while our patio comes to life with the greenery, and night life. With our locally sourced ingredients, we’ve created an elevated American cuisine while embracing the taste of the southwest. Make sure you leave room for our famous homemade ice cream with flavors such as Bourbon Almond Brittle and Oatmeal Cookie Dough. We’re also proud to offer our dine-in guests complimentary valet or self parking for 2 hours. This service is offered at The AC Hotel, located directly behind HUB. We look forward to welcoming you soon!

First time visiting and we will be back! Started our evening on the town with dinner at Hub. We went to a great show at The Century Room and then came back for ice cream. Our food and ice cream were amazing! A little pricier for the ribeye dinners than the side portions offered. If the sides were a little larger portioned it would’ve been totally worth the price. The quality of food and its preparation were on point though! The only other thing I would say needs work is the dining area. The decor and ambiance is great but there are too many tables squeezed into the space available. Eliminating a few tables would make it more comfortable for a more private or romantic experience. It kind of felt like a cafeteria setting with the amount of people in close quarters. But overall I’d give our entire experience a 4.5 out of 5 stars and we will be back!

We were dismayed at first when It appeared the Hub was closed and the interior was torn apart, but followed a sign to the playground. At first, we weren't sure we would go in, but a friendly hostess opened the door and showed us to a pretty quiet table in the back, outside, and got the heater going. We had good food, great service and a very enjoyable meal.

Unbeknownst to us, the HUB was under renovations so we had to dine in their temporary property, the Playground. However, our dining experience was superb as usual. McKenna, our server, was very friendly and attentive. The food was delicious as usual. The regular restaurant will be reopening soon. All in all it was a great night out.

Had a great bday experience here. They were able to split the checks how we wanted, we got to cut our own cake, and there was no cake fee unlike other restaurants (e.g. Reilly’s which I will NEVER go back to as they are unable to do any of those basic things). I’ve always liked hub but I’ll definitely come more often for special occasions. Since hub is now below playground, it is quite loud, but I didn’t mind it. Just a heads up for those who dislike noise!
