Service: 10 stars as Rylie was super efficient, friendly and sweet, offering tastes of multiple beer options with a smile. She was VERY attentive and made us feel like family. Food: 10 stars. We opted for the beyond burger with mushrooms and Swiss cheese and it was exquisite with perfectly seasoned french fries. Presentation: 10 stars. Excellent burger presentation on a cutting board. Very appetizing! Atmosphere: 10 stars. 13 big screen TVs inside plus a very cool prohibition era montage and excellent outside patio seating with heat lamps. Drinks: 10 stars with a great selection of beer, wine, and a full bar. I had the 8.8% imperial coconut Porter…so delicious to meet you! Will undoubtedly return very soon.

The food decent but nothing special. The pretzels and stuffed jalapeños were really good. The burger was kind of dry but still good. The waitress wasn’t the friendliest and at some point disappeared and started tending bar.

Been here three times, and felt it I had enough data to do a review. First, if you get sat in Gabriella's section, your drinks will be full and you service will be done with a smile. My teenage son and I have been twice in the last 2 months (he has football practice nearby) and both times we have been sat in her section. Each time she has been attentive, without being intrusive. She remembered my sons soda of choice after only one visit, which is impressive. Growlers itself is a solid sports bar, and all the food we have had has been tasty, and unique. I am most impressed with the back-of-house's ability to consistently deliver a medium rare burger, it shouldn't be hard, but most places overcook the burger. Not here in my experience. I also really like the shishito pepper app. My son and daughter are partial to stuffed mushroom app. For those saying then why a 4 on the food, it is very good, and a unique spin on traditional sports bar grub, my only knock is when I see an icon saying spicy I want to sweat. If you sit at the high tops, the chairs are well built, but very heavy, so choose your seating wisely. Overall, one of the best sports bars in the area, with a good beer selection, very solid food and a great staff.

All the games now on every TV! Staff is incredible, so is the food. Giant 100 inch TV is perfect for the game. Pro Tip: If you don’t like a loud TV, be like everyone else in the bar and don’t sit in front of it 🤦‍♂️.

Overly pleased with my entire experience. The beers we tried were super smooth and easily tied in with our meals. The food came out quickly and exceeded our expectations with the outstanding flavors. The one thing that stood out to me was their Fallen Comrade Table and their deepest expression for patriotism. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 Overall, I would recommend this place to everyone and will definitely be coming back.

I love this place!! We have been going for several years and have always been delighted! I always get the Izzy and Moe pork sliders and man they are so good! All their food comes on theses cool slabs of wood and really helps tie together into their beautifully decorated place. I love looking at all the pictures and the light fixtures are so clever. We have always gotten very nice service and it’s always nice and clean. The bathrooms are even cooler! They have the whole floor decorated with pennies! Definitely recommend!!

We came here the other night for dinner. They had a Margarita fish bowl on special. So we ordered one which came out perfect was a little strong, which is how you generally want your drinks. We ordered two burgers. One was the noble experiment, and the other was the bucket boy. We were never asked what temp to cook them at, so we just figured they would be medium and considering that it is the usual industry standard to cook it medium when your server doesn't ask you. Both burgers came out charred and cooked well done. The noble experiment was supposed to have crispy onion strings on it, and they were nonexistent and I looked on the top and bottom of the patty. The bucket boy burger comes with fries on it, and the one we ordered had two whole fries on it and was missing the bacon. We were one of four tables in the place, and two of those four already had their food. I was going to ask our server about the issues but we didn't see him until he dropped the bill off, never asked how anything was or why we both only took two bites out of our burgers and then left them. Side note, the chairs in the dining room look great and industrial but are some of the most uncomfortable chairs to sit in. We'll come back for drinks but forget the food.

We’re not from Tucson. Came to visit from El Paso , Tx, I googled the first brewery and Growlers is the first place that came up! NOT DISAPPOINTED at all!! This is exactly what bar food should be, Amazing flavors and variety!!! Beers were nice and cold, plenty to choose from! Staff , especially Riley was so welcoming and very attentive! Will definitely be a first stop for us next time we visit!
