The Hut’s faux-tropical bar features roots rock, rock, blues, reggae, and even spoken-word performance art. It has a kind of slum-tiki vibe, laid-back and beach-bound with a lot of frozen drinks on the menu.

A three-story cement tiki head saved from a beloved but defunct miniature golf course in east Tucson [2] was installed at the bar’s entrance in 2008, adding one more reason to visit this classic watering hole.
