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!

The first thing you can't help to notice is the amazing remodeling that's taken place. The room has a great ambience & tasteful decor. New menus & a few intriguing new entrees. We split a generous amount of mussels as a shared app. Perfectly cleaned & cooked, a generous portion. They were cooked with sausage & seasoned with a zip. Crostini served for dipping. Gnocchi were new on the menu & they were quickly devoured. I asked the server if they'd make up a sandwich that's on lunch menu only. It's a simple turkey melt. Sounds pretty ordinary I admit but these folks serve one up so deliciously tender & juicy served with parmesian fries, yum. It would be nice at some point to have someone knowledable about wines to help develop more depth to their current selections & take on more substantial wines. But the quality of the food more than makes up for my spoiled wine habit. I've been going to Napa annually for about 50 years now, eating at some places with friends more than some of the locals. Food & service here, worth repeating.

We had a party of 6. Everyone was very happy with the food. It’s not an extensive menu but all was delicious. And of course the homemade ice cream is outstanding. Service was perfect.

It was birthday event and was booked as birthday, but service was vary lousy and no one even offered a dessert felt very awkward. Probably good to have nice sandwiches or lunch but. Or for celebration.

Service was not good. We ordered wings and a cheeseboard they were good, we also ordered pork and it was too salty! Impossible to eat. In my way out, there was water spilled all over the floor, I slipped and fell, nobody even noticed. Not coming back.
