UPDATE: HUB is currently operating out of PLAYGROUND until early fall 2024

Located on historic Congress Street in Tucson, HUB is right in the heart of all the excitement that downtown has to offer. Our dining room gives warm romantic vibes, while our patio comes to life with the greenery, and night life. With our locally sourced ingredients, we’ve created an elevated American cuisine while embracing the taste of the southwest. Make sure you leave room for our famous homemade ice cream with flavors such as Bourbon Almond Brittle and Oatmeal Cookie Dough. We’re also proud to offer our dine-in guests complimentary valet or self parking for 2 hours. This service is offered at The AC Hotel, located directly behind HUB. We look forward to welcoming you soon!

It was birthday event and was booked as birthday, but service was vary lousy and no one even offered a dessert felt very awkward. Probably good to have nice sandwiches or lunch but. Or for celebration.

Service was not good. We ordered wings and a cheeseboard they were good, we also ordered pork and it was too salty! Impossible to eat. In my way out, there was water spilled all over the floor, I slipped and fell, nobody even noticed. Not coming back.

First time visiting and we will be back! Started our evening on the town with dinner at Hub. We went to a great show at The Century Room and then came back for ice cream. Our food and ice cream were amazing! A little pricier for the ribeye dinners than the side portions offered. If the sides were a little larger portioned it would’ve been totally worth the price. The quality of food and its preparation were on point though! The only other thing I would say needs work is the dining area. The decor and ambiance is great but there are too many tables squeezed into the space available. Eliminating a few tables would make it more comfortable for a more private or romantic experience. It kind of felt like a cafeteria setting with the amount of people in close quarters. But overall I’d give our entire experience a 4.5 out of 5 stars and we will be back!

We were dismayed at first when It appeared the Hub was closed and the interior was torn apart, but followed a sign to the playground. At first, we weren't sure we would go in, but a friendly hostess opened the door and showed us to a pretty quiet table in the back, outside, and got the heater going. We had good food, great service and a very enjoyable meal.
