The environment is welcoming with plenty of seating inside and outside. The outside seating is nicely shaded. Excellent variety of beers. Overall great place to relax and enjoy craft beer.

Great setting (large shaded patio, comfy seats), tasty food (shrimp tacos, chips and guac!), and an amazingly delicious porter that truly slays (Dulce Noche). Cheers! You guys have a winner here.

I love coming to Borderlands. The beer is awesome. Always a wide selection. Pinches always has great food. And, best of all, THEY ARE DOG FRIENDLY!

Nice place. Hip vibes, big indoor and outdoor spaces. I had a cider from Bawker Cider House, blueberry pomegranate. Yum 😋.

Amazing space, beer, tacos and chips, and vibe. The noche dolce has to be tasted to be believed for its rich, thick, chocolate and coffee goodness. Ya’ll gotten find this huge gem near downtown!

Really enjoyed Borderlands Brewing. The back patio area is an awesome setup to hang out with friends and have some beers. Prickly pear margarita is pretty good too. Try the Toole NEIPA, which was hazy and juicy.

AMAZING beer and fantastic staff. They are so kind and attentive. Could not recommend enough. Bonus points because they are very dog friendly.Please open a taproom in Buckeye 🤞

We had a good time and both the indoor and outdoor space had a very cool vibe. The beer options were plentiful and we loved some and some were just ok, but we were going out of our comfort zone on a few of them. The service was ok, but it took so long to get our “to-go” box, that we just left without the food. Try the tacos! The music was also a bit odd and the train that passes by from time to time was pretty loud.VictorB

Were no beer connoisseurs, but borderlands is our fav brewery! it has the perfect outdoor patio, they have a great happy hour, and an amazing menu.the patio is partially covered and has misters for when the weather starts heating up, so its always a vibe! its a popular spot, but not so popular that its always packed which is really nice. the service has always been super friendly and fast!our fav things to order are their michelada, tangerine sour, and margarita (i told you we werent connoisseurs!) they have a great selection of local arizona beers, and their own. the menu is great, im a vegetarian and i love their totchos that come with soy-rizo. highly recommend!

Awesome outdoor patio. Food from the taco truck is really good. Great for large groups and chill afternoons.

I have been drinking the beer for many years but just recently got a chance to visit the brewery! Beautiful local art on the walls for sale, and an amazing variety of craft beer! The nacho platter is impressive as well. Will be back for sure!

Beer + wine on tap, nice large outdoor patio.

We loved this place. Great beer and food. Cant wait to go back. Big outdoor patio. Just so fun.

Cool building and good beer. Dog friendly. Worth checking out.

This is really a unique place to get a good beer. Its dog friendly and is very well run. They have a selection of wine as well.

A nice place to grab a beer and hang out! Awesome atmosphere! The bartender was super friendly. I would recommend this place over and over. Cheers!

Excellent beer and wonderful people. Love the downtown location. Patio is bomb and beer good :)

Understaffed considering they knew our group was coming in. Seemed lost when trying to deliver food. No one seemed to know where food goes. Food was good. Had compliments on some of the brews

One of the better craft breweries in Tucson. Fun fruity ales along with smooth porters and complex IPAs. Cool throwback atmosphere inside with beer garden feel outside. The food consists of mostly gourmet tacos served by a welcoming staff.

Torn on the stars to rate. Great atmosphere. Beer was absolutely fantastic. Food was good. However the service was terrible. There on a Thursday night(not busy). 20 min at a table waiting for a server. Once we received our order we were completely abandoned. No check in. No asking if we needed more drinks. My wife had to go into the bar to ask for a box and our check while 3 servers stood on the patio and talked with each other. I would suggest sitting at the bar.

The location and huge patio with music was great. Little depressed with the service, we walked in and sat down ordered and got a drink. Waitress asked if we wanted to start a tab we said Yes and asked about food menu. Waitress said to scan the QR code and never saw her again. Finished our drinks went inside and closed out and left.

More than just beer on the menu!

I enjoyed Borderlands. Due to the on going road construction, it was a little difficult to get to. That was the only drawback. The staff checked your temperature before allowing you in!cno problem with that. NIC and large outdoor beer garden.

Great beer, great live music, great atmosphere, overall — reallylove the interior! A favorite for a fun Friday night with friends.

When visiting from San Diego, my girlfriend and I found this place because we were looking for a dog friendly place in a local Tucson place. A little difficult to find due to downtown construction, however was SO WORTH IT. we showed up to an amazing expansive beer garden full of misters and speakers playing amazing music, incredible staff (two great young women, I cannot remember their names im sorry) served us and were so kind to us and our dogs, bringing them a large bowl of ice water. Beer was great and atmosphere was unique and beautiful :)

Always great beer and the beermosas are a must try! My personal favorite Noche Dulce is perfect for those cool desert nights

Great beer,great service! Awesome music. Sure wish they had A/C! Not easily accessible for handicapped people.

Favorite bar in town. Come on a Tuesday and have a life experience of a pint and a great chat with the best bartender in town, Pete.

Love the intimacy of the station with the train rolling by just outside the window... Beers are good. 🍺tj

Great place with a good selection of beers. Service was good and their outside space is awesome. A must stop on the Tucson beer trail.

Great patio! Great beer and location

Great staff. They consistently kept checking in to make sure we were satisfied and in need of our needs. And great outdoor patio for a nice time highly recommend for a nice chill spot

A stop at Borderlands Brewing was the perfect way to cap off a day of hiking at Sabino Canyon Recreation Area. A nice variety of beers from hazy’s to porters that provided subtle differences, all hit the spot.

Amazing setting. Service was excellent and their patio was just awesome.

Great atmosphere and selection. Really liked the patio.

Little off the beaten downtown path, but worth stopping by. Big, repurposed rail space with plenty of shade. Notably Tucson rustic setup with plenty of art for sale. Broad selection of mainstays and oddities (e.g. southwestern sour with cardamom). Cool.

The only beer Ive really come to like from here is the Cranberry sour. I have been a couple of times and Everytime the service has been terrible. Watching as other tables are being waited on and being ignored I havent even been able to flag down a server. The food is good the margaritas are good. I attempted to contact Borderlands about my latest bad experience where I was double charged for food and waited 2 hrs for said food. I asked for water at least 5 times and got water once. I see that some other people have had a similar experience as me. With so many other amazing breweries down the street we wont be back.

Very nice selection of beers. Pete was very descriptive as I worked on making my choices - this place does not disappoint! Also a very nice mellow vibe, occasional train coming by on the track visible from inside which blends nicely with the ambience.

Great beer, food and atmosphere

Comfortable, great beer wonderful outdoor area.

Great place for food and hanging out with friends. The tacos are phenomenal. Even the bean and cheese taco was great. Good selection of beers. The noche dolce porter is one of the best beers out there.

Haven’t been here in over a year. Brianna is an outstanding server. She provided such a great vibe, great atmosphere. We missed this place! Loving the open space and the food truck on site. La Miche is the best mix I’ve ever had!!! Brianna’s passion for beer made our experience that more majestic! Can’t wait to return!

Very tasty and interesting beers to choose from. Great atmosphere and will be back again. Horchata cream ale was a favorite!

Great atmosphere, beer, staff, and they support local artists!

Visited twice on a trip to Tucson with my fiancé. Had to go twice because we realized back on the East Coast we would not be able to enjoy these great beers. Tried every beer they currently have to offer - was not disappointed with any of them and loved quite a few. Lydia’s favorite was the Toole Ave infused with Peach Mango - it was fruity and delicious. My favorite was the Imperial German Chocolate Cake Porter... I encourage (1) anyone who loves porters and stouts and (2) anyone who loves chocolate to try it. Seriously, it’s amazingly flavorful and dangerously drinkable. I’d go back to Tucson solely for that beer. Second favorite beers for us were the Horchata and Noche Dulce. An honorable mention is La Miche - as East Coasters we had never heard of micheladas - it was surprisingly delightful! And many thanks to Brianna who guided us through the menu - wonderful service and very knowledgeable (yet humble about it).

Amazing! Loved the paper straw to save the environment. Decent atmosphere. No free wifi. Bathroom was clean and rustic like the entire building. Very Arizona themed with beer that had Arizona flavors like prickly pear. Decent water. The flights were out of mason jars that went along with the rustic theme. Dog Friendly! They have a special day to bring your dogs and get a discount! Great place for beer and more!

Why are you reading reviews? Just get there now! This place has awesome crafts and legit tacos, the bowl of tots is on point. Everyone there is badass, especially the owner. Next time I’m in from Nashville, this is my first stop!

Waited over an hour for our food. Other customers that sat down after us got their food before us. Limited food menu. The cardne asada taco meat was tough and overdone like cooked in a microwave or cooked hours ago. Shrimp tacos were a disappointment....tasteless and super tiny shrimp like size of a quarter. I was expecting larger grilled shrimp. These shrimp tasted either boiled or microwave cooked. Chicken tenders we got for the kids were dark brown and overcooked. Staff was very nice. Overall...Not pleased.

A Tucson gem! This brewery has such a welcoming environment. Perfect for a midday beer or an evening drink. One of my go-to’s!

Tasty beer and a great outdoor patio!

Great place for drinks with friends

Good beer, service sucks! The management seems poor.

I really love Toole Avenue hazy IPA. I’m a big fan of hazy IPAs and this continues to be one of my favorites in a town with many great hazy IPAs! The outdoor fire pits and live DJ make for a really fun night out and very safe protocols in place given the circumstances. The food options are also fun- my favorite are the shrimp tacos. I can’t wait to go back and try to other menu items. I ended the night with a German chocolate cake beer and it was spectacular! Perfect evening.

First I like the location, both the indoor and outdoor seating area are pretty nice. The tacos from the food truck were tasty.The majority of the staff was attentive, unfortunately our waitress seemed more concerned with nonstop flirting with the old regulars than actually waiting on tables.The first beer I had, a vanilla porter, was ok.The second beer I ordered, the Cashmere Pale, was one of the most memorably bad beers I have ever had the displeasure of being served in near 30 years of crawling between breweries across this nation. Honestly the only beer I ever remember not drinking and just paying a leaving, it wasnt a style thing it was just a plain horrible beer. I wont be back.

Great outdoor space. Live DJ was nice in the spring evening

Stopped by this brewery on a whim on my recent visit to Tucson. Excellent service and beer in a great setting.

Its always a pleasure to grab a drink and relax with great company. The service is great too! Very friendly.

I love a good local craft brewery, and this is no exception. These guys are dialed in. Every time I am here I try new beers, and got the chance to try some limited stuff on my last visit. Borderlands hosted the pairings party for #TheOven17, and did a great job with it. They gave us space and took great care of the attendees. While in Tucson, make sure you visit Borderlands. They are a great local brewery and I cant wait to come back. Cheers!

Nice variety of beers & ciders and warm atmosphere. The staff was friendly and welcoming.

Fun atmosphere, friendly staff, great beer! Highly recommend.

Fantastic beer. They have a variety of beer and all of them are executed perfectly.

Stumbled into some great beers and live music on a Friday night. Friendly and fun atmosphere. The train does go right by and is pretty noisy. Try the horchada brew!

Really good beers and great customer service

Great COVID-19 safe outdoor patio. Great food and great beer. Customer service was outstanding.

Very nice outdoor seating, excellent tacos, great waitstaff, and great beer!

Nice place. Good beer average service.

Very good beer. Awesome service. We had service table (they took the order on an ipad and we received the drinks a couple of minutes later). The outside sitting area is very nice also

Good food and drinks. Love sitting in the patio area

This place has a great beer selection and a really cool vibe.

Great Vibe, great people, building and artwork are off the chain. beer is excellent, to put it on your list

Wow! Such a cool place, awesome service and great food!

Great atmosphere. My barber of over a decade opened up a shop in there. It was nice to have a good beer while I waited to get a chop.

Under normal circumstances, Im sure Id post a much more positive review. However, a recent experience made me sad and want to reconsider my support for this brewing company. 2 weeks out and I still havent even received an acknowledgement response from Borderlands. I attached it here as it describes my experience for December 11 in detail:Hello Manager,I wanted to give some feedback from my previous experience calling in (4 times over a 2-hour period) and navigating your website.For context: I recently moved to Goodyear after living in Tucson for over 7 years--the period in which I really came to love Borderlands.After a particularly rough couple of weeks, I had wanted to treat myself to a lovely four-pack of your Citrana. A friend of mine from Tucson was coming up to visit me and I asked if shed be willing to stop by and pick up a pack for me. I had tried to place an order online (which Im positive Ive done so in the past) but found your website to be fairly unusable for this purpose. The login feature didnt work for me--not with the log in/Sign up through Google or via an email alone. After trying on my phone and on my laptop, I gave up this endeavor and instead tried to call. Im all for smart assistants--but the one I spoke with... sucked. At some point, the assistant sounded almost condescending (an attempt at humor, I guess, that wasnt really taken well after she hung up on me twice in response to Id like to speak to someone). Then in other attempts, twice going to the taproom and once to sales... I didnt receive an answer. In only one of those did I think I get to a voicemail, but it was kinda unclear and awkward since I wasnt instructed to leave a message. I was just given random numbers by the virtual assistant. Something like... 42801 (dont quote me on those exact numbers) and then a beep.Honestly, that was the last straw for me for the night (and the week overall). All I wanted was to get a much-craved for a taste of your Citrana for the first time in a few months... and well, I wasnt met with a process that made it easy. I felt I went out of my way as a customer to order from you, and Im just left feeling disappointed. I want to support Borderlands--even from this distance--and Id like to recommend you but I likely wont until these issues are fixed.Sincerely,A sad and Citrana-less costumer

What a great selection of nanobrew flavors! I was really impressed by the selection of standards and specials. I like malted beers and they offered two porters, and for my friend they had a choice of sours. I saw a couple each of ipas, pale ales and ambers too. Against type, I had the Horchata Cream Ale, which was light and excellent.I didnt have anything from the menu, but was surprised to see a good selection of grilled and hot plates.They have fairly short hours, but an outdoor serving area, temperature taken, and well distanced serving helped us feel like this is a good place to visit, when you can.

Nice beer selection and nearly always good live music... Easy parking also! German Chocolate Cake and Dulche Noche are the standouts...

Happy Hour is FANTASTIC 🍺🥂

The horchata ale was great

Great brews, awesome art for sale, mostly Dia de los muertos related. Great atmosphere.

Excellent beers and customer service is awesome. They follow all safety protocols, that made me feel very safe

A great place to enjoy a beer and have your dog in the courtyard

The beer is delicious nowadays, thanks to the women brewers, Ayla et al. The barbacoa tacos are freaking awesome! I suggest getting tortillas de maiz y uno mas guacamole.

Great outdoor area to listen to live music and eat!!!

Awesome Tucson brewery with excellent beer and wine and a great facility. Shaded courtyard with bocce ball quart had us wanting for nicer weather (was raining when we visited). There was still plenty of room inside to spread out, and lots of nice locals to chat with. I also enjoyed the local art on the walls.

Really good TKMA ipa.

Amazing beers. German chocolate noche dulce is out of this world. Prickly pear wheat on top of citrana is unbelievable. Some of the best beers in Tucson.

This is an awesome place with a great staff and great drinks

Great beer, great vibe and great staff!

Great beer, great atmosphere!

Awesome place 😎 just got haircut at SOCIAL CLUB

Awesome patio and Great Brewery!

Awesome beer selection and damn good tacos. This brewery doing it right.

Great beer and service.

Of the various breweries I have visited around town, this one is probably my favorite! The location DT is great whether you want to start or end an evening here or just make it your destination for the night. The ambiance is also great. There was a fantastic band playing when we walked in and everyone just looked like they were having the best time! The bar is the place to sit to be in the middle of it all, but they also have a nice seating area outdoors as well. The beer flight I had was superb and I enjoyed every beer I sampled. It was the perfect storm of good beer, a good time, and great location!

Slow night, had 1 beer, staff would not acknowledge me or my wife to get check. If youre over 50, skip this place. Clearly poorly trained staff. Worst I have seen in years. Skip it.

Awesome! Tacos were great and the beer was better and service was the best!

Atmosphere was great and included some local art for purchase all over the walls. When we were there the taps were down so we unfortunately didnt get to try many beers. Only had a choice of 4 from cans which were still delicious. Will try again for sure and Im sure thatll make them a 5 star establishment.

Good beer and food.

Unfortunately wasnt impressed by my beer flight

HORCHATA IS BACK! Two growlers ready for the weekend.

Great brews, great staff, comfortable seating.
