Sometimes we all need to mix things up; pull a hard right off the highway, walk the road less traveled, march to the beat of our own drum. Thankfully Tucson has some great options for those who want to try something a bit different
Tohono Chul
Brunch is a pretty standard affair, even with mimosas. But brunch with bottomless Prickly Pear mimosas, in a botanical garden is definitely a bit different. Set against the backdrop of one of the world’s greatest botanical gardens, the bistro at Tohono Chul serves up brunch daily together with the aforementioned bottomless mimosas. Additionally, there are always cultural exhibitions to soak in the rich cultural and artistic heritage of the Sonoran Desert region.

A fascinating monument to Cold War hostilities, the Missile Museum houses the only remaining Titan II site open to the public.

Tough Luck Club
If you need to unwind with a couple of cocktails, there’s nowhere better than the underground cool of the Tough Luck Club. Allegedly the embalming room of the old funeral home that used to occupy this location, the dark, comfy, stonewalled, leather couch vibe together with a mixologists dream selection of drinks makes this a real hidden gem of a bar. Closed Mondays, open other weekdays till midnight and Friday, Saturday till 2am
