The Depot

Went here again for the CWS game (go cats). The place was more crowded and active. I still love the fact that there are several tvs to ensure that everyone in out party could see the game.
I did feel that service was a bit strange this trip. The waiter did stop by all the tables to make sure everyone was taken care of, and he did do that often. It just felt that he was very forgetful and could only do a couple orders at a time. Not that I blame him, as suggested by other Unilocal reviews, there’s only one person who serves as waitstaff for people on the floor. It looked like it could be pretty overwhelming when the bar got packed for the game. After he came back with everybody’s food except mine, I was comped a beer: something I greatly appreciated with 4 innings left. The food was okay, but I prefer their chips over their fries.

Cheap beer and no shortage of televisions. Decent enough spot to watch the game with friends. Might have given it 3 stars but the manager made it a point to be personable and thank our group for coming in.

I have been here multiple times. Getting someone to acknowledge you in a nearly empty bar is like pulling teeth! I like to support local restaurants and bars but after a few attempts of stopping for a beer and wings, I can’t continue to support this place.
The bartenders act busy and ignore you. The wait staff is hit or miss, sometimes good, mostly bad.

The food was good and the service was great. atmosphere is really nice and the people are very friendly.

My favorite neighborhood hangout. It’s clean which I love. Neighborhood bars don’t always have that feel to them. Around the bar they have sports memorabilia hanging on the walls, mostly U of A stuff. If it were closer to campus, it wouldn’t be just a neighborhood bar.
They have something for everyone. A great beer selection on tap, lots of tvs to watch games, pool tables, shuffle board, darts, jukebox, Buzztime and karaōke at least twice a week.
The bartenders are very friendly. Derek and Tina are awesome, keep up the good work. The owner seems to be there quite often now after his renovation of the place. Way to keep everything in line! Super nice guy.
They have a full kitchen and the food is really good. I pick up sandwiches to go after work if I don’t feel like cooking. They also have a daily special that’s not on the menu. The fish tacos and sweet potato fries are always a hit.
Thanks guys for always being an inviting place to have a beer and play darts. Very comfortable environment.

I read a lot of reviews on here and decided to give it a try. The bar close to our house (Risky Business on Kolb/​Sunrise) had my Steelers on but they don’t turn up the volume on the any games. Even one would be nice to get the feel and excitement of the game.
This place has the vibe and feel we wanted!
The breakfast burger was excellent! Their beers were cold and the service was fantastic!
It was worth the drive. I’ll be back!

Staff are very good. Granted it does get busy on a Friday or Saturday. Plus is Tina is fluent in ASL. Great plus to already great team.
Fish n chips special was two huge pieces of fish. Dragoon IPA on tap. All great prices! Staff take care of you.

Okay, they need to learn how to use a computer though. It is not that hard to cancel your Unilocal coupon. What a rip off for not wanting to honor.

I have found my new hangout! YES! :)
Personally I had a great time. Other than the cheap drinks… which sold me from the get go, they have KARAOKE! I stopped in on a Saturday night around 11 and it was busy but not crowd crushing. Needless to say a great time! And for future use I found out that on top of the pool tournaments they have there on Wednesday nights that they open the tables on Saturday and Sunday for free pool! Anyway it was a big score for me since I live in the neighborhood!

Bartender pulled a fast one. He did not honor the full $ 10 value of the Unilocal online coupon saying it only applied with purchase of $ 20 or more. Nowhere on coupon did it say that.

Totally average food.
Nice staff, if not a bit aloof.
But they have cheap beer! $ 2 pints on Sunday. Skip the french fries…

In response to the crazy lady who visited The Depot on Nov. 29^th-I’m the karaōke host and this is what happened — Derek, a Depot employee (not a manager) was singing, drinking and having a good time. His song had some cuss words in it and he was drinking (hey it’s a bar!). I’ve watched this lady’s group come in the past two weeks and buy one salad for a group of 5 and drink water all night long. Their group spent $ 8.00 that night but sang all night long. They were so cheap they even brought their own Koolaid to put in their water, they wouldn’t even spring for a tea. But… if you are looking for great food, drinks, and fun, come on down to The Depot. We have karaōke every Saturday night starting at 9pm and the food is awesome!

Well, where do I begin. First and foremost it took approx. 45mins to recieve our food. The drinks were ¾ tap water and ¼ …of alcohol??? B. THE FOOD SUCKED! DRY CHICKEN sandwich, and i had to ask for every condiment. Although the food was inexpensive, it was like eating at mcdonalds for 15.00. I will not revisit EVER again

Great food… Great environment… Lots of tvs… Tons of seating… SEVERELY understaffed.
Was here for the Arizona vs. 2 Oregon football game …place was packed but was able to walk in and get a seat instantly… Lots of tvs, not a bad seat in the house. Unfortunately, every time I have been here there has only been one waitress for the entire dining area. Meh.

Would be a decent sports bar/​grill if it didn’t have the worst service I’ve ever encountered in Tucson.
During a game viewing party (wasn’t very crowded), people in our party waited up to 1.5 hours for their food, and received no apology or discount until arguing with management. The waitress was very confused and told us the wrong price for pitchers. After explaining to management, we were still charged the higher price, even though we wouldn’t have ordered more than one pitcher if we knew how much they cost. Then, we waited 30 minutes to close our tab and the waitress had to check with us four separate times about what we ordered. The manager was fairly unapologetic and offered no discount.
The burnt out sign may say EPT, but we aren’t exactly pregnant with anticipation to return to The Depot.

Good beer selection. Tons of TV for watching games. Nachos are yummy and huge servings. Chicken strips and fries were great. Prices were reasonable and service was good. I think I’ll be coming back for a game sometime.

First, let me say this place is a 3 ½.
Second, this place is a step up from the bars I’ve been to. They make their own potato chips, which are a bit too peppery, but great nonetheless. Their burgers are really good, and they aren’t stacked so high you have to unhinge your jaw to eat them.
Their beer selection is very nice, and their bartender is pretty good. When you ask what he has on tap, he asks what you like and can then give you a couple selections that fit that profile.
The first few times I went, there was only one guy who was waiting tables in the entire place and tending bar, but still managed to do things fairly well. Usually when you’re doing a lot of stuff like that, something suffers, and not just your frayed nerves. The last time I went, last week, there were a waitress and the bartender, and while the waitress seemed new, was very friendly and sweet, so she made up for the extra wait.

It’s a pretty good place on Ft Lowell Rd, they had some okay specials and the game on. Fish tacos pretty good. Kind of dark. They have shuffleboard.

Great food and good beer. The bartenders are friendly and the service is excellent. Good choice of beers in tap and fun atmosphere.

Great bar food, huge selection of beers. If you’re out for a good time with the boys or even want to bring a date The Depot is a great place to meet. Been coming here for years and it’s as good now as ever. Love the staff — they always go the extra mile.

Wow, this place has gone downhill.
I used to go the The Depot years ago when I lived in the area. The service was good, the food was good and they always had the game you we looking for. Now: they have the game you’re looking for.
The male bartender was young and cocky and seemed like he always had something better to do than take my order or bring my food. The female bartender was no different except that she wasn’t young and she chomped on her gum like a Jersey cow.
The nachos here used to be awesome so I ordered them. I waited and waited some more before I went to the bar to see where they were. They came out soon after that, however, theg were not the nachos of old. They were smothered in cheap nacho cheese sauce that was cold by now. The chips were soggy and the «chili» was a thin smear on top. When I paid my bill I told the bartender that I liked the way they did the nachos in the past with shredded cheese. He replied «you could have ordered them that way.» The menu did not have that option. It just said «Nachos». I will not be back.

This place needs a new weekend cook. One weekend we were served 4 orders of badly burned onion rings. Dried to a shivel and dark brown. Our burgers were overcooked too.
Couple weeks later I was served seriously burned potato skins. I asked for another order: the cook refused. He said «they will be the same because the skins are too small and they all burn.» What kind of a cook is that? The amount of food he’s cooking is too small for the time and temperature he chose?

I was REALLY surprised at how nice this place is! They have a pretty decent selection of beer on tap, good food (we had calamari fries and the nachos), lots of tv’s and an indoor smoking patio with pool tables! What more could you ask for?
As some of the other reviews noted, the bartenders are not the friendliest people on Earth, but we didn’t have a problem getting our correct food/​drinks in a timely manner.
I will definitely come here again, it’s a great place for watching some Sunday football too.

So we stopped in here on a Friday night after dinner to continue a birthday celebration.
It was not busy at all, but I am okay with that.
We were able to take over the shuffle board table and had a great time. The wait staff provided us with fresh popped popcorn (for 50 cents I believe) and they were quick and nice. After we were done with the shuffle board we headed to the pool tables. Again, good seating, tables are decent.
Overall I really like this place. Its more than just a bar, we were able to play some games, talk to each other and drink at a very reasonable price.
I will definitely be back when looking for a place to continue the party.
