Tommy's Lounge

I may have only grabbed a quick drink at this hole in the wall but I was left with a good enough impression that I will go back. The bartender was extremely nice and up for making anything I could think of. When you walk in you're immediately at the bar with pool tables to the right. There may not have been many patrons but they were colorful enough to make the night interesting.

OK, I'm predisposed to enjoy several drinks and a game of pool at leathery, worn-out, tired ass dive bars populated by septugenarians that are on their third liver and 5th wife, with either cranky country  or classic rock on the jukebox.  if you can add a couple of bikers flying colors & an ironhead or two leaking Pennz Oil I'm good.  a nice mix of desert rat lifers, immigrant taxi drivers, rough neck rednecks, and wannabe bukowskis in Hawaiin shirts bellying up to the bar to talk shit, watch motorcycle racing on one TV and the ballgame on another, and living la vida loca.  everyone seems welcome here, and almost every single person who limps in gets a shout-out by name from the bartenders, who have encyclopedic memories, apparently.  one of my favorite Tucson bars.
