My wife and I are from Missouri and visit Tucson annually, and we love 💕 music! 🎵 This was the second time going to The Maverick and seems we're either pretty good at picking a good club or the right night to go to The Maverick because twice now we've had a great time here... great atmosphere, service, and drink specials!🍻
We went to see a live band on a Thursday night while we were in town visiting, and the band was great! Scotty Freel and the Flying Diamonds. The lead singer was good, and they had a younger guy with blonde hair that was amazing! His voice was fantastic, and he played guitar really well too. I think we may see him as a star one day. My husband joked we should get his autograph now, lol. No cover charge and several drink specials. Drinks were good, and our waitress was really great as well. Watching the dancers was a lot of fun too. We will definitely go back next time we're in town!
Came from NM for a visit and wanted a place to go country dancing on a Sat night. We found this place and loved it. The only problem we had is an entire dance class came to show and practice their moves. Although they were really good and we didn't mind watching them, the flipping, dipping and dragging the girl's across the floor made it very difficult to move. I lost count on how many times I got hair slapped in my face as they turned and turned and turned the girl's. We love to dance, and we are pretty good at it but found it very difficult for the average dancer to get around the dance floor. Will we be back? Probably, but now we know what to expect.
The Maverick is my "Cheers"... It's where everybody knows my name (or face) & where I spend Saturday night for dancing & a good time! I like Thursday's too. And I'm always greeted with a smile.
I'm often asked, why do you go so often? My answer: It's a great stress reliever & much cheaper than therapy!
Drinks are always reasonably priced. The live music is always great! The staff & bartenders are so nice. The crowd is fun & dancing is always a great idea!! The food is good, but their French Fries are BOMB!!
Wednesday is geared (more or less) for the college crowd. Hence the name, "Wildcat Wednesday". So, keep that in mind depending on your demographic.
Personally, I prefer Thursday & Saturday.
Thursday are a bit slower & tend to be a more mature crowd.
Saturday's are a mixed bag, but the best bands usually perform on Sat night & so much fun on the dance floor!
I often hear, "But I don't know how to dance!". Well, they offer classes (line dance & 2 step) on various evenings. And if you're asked to dance, say YES! The men are always gentlemen & will guide you along on the floor. Its easier than you think & so much fun! 😊
Good place to have a great time and enjoy dancing, hanging out with friends, or just going to go watch people dance. There is plenty of floor space to dance. There are few pool tables, plenty of drink, but sitting is limited, though.
I really like this establishment. It's a really good place. I'm not a country music fan and a huge Metal head but found myself going back to this place repeatedly
Great place! Great bartenders/staff! Reminds me of the old school honky-tonks I grew up in back home in Texas! Haven't had the food yet, but it looks good and is very plentiful!

The only thing that would make the maverick ten times better is if it were bigger. I’m sure many have said this before and I am no different in that way. The set up is very very cool with lots of parking and an outside patio in the front that they take great advantage of. On the inside you have a stage on the west side and each other wall with an accessible bar and they even have tons of seating. Yet most of the nights I go, it is so packed that it’s hard to get around and sometimes impossible to dance. I don’t know what is in the realm of possibilities but it would be awesome for them to score a bigger property with the same set up.
Best country bar since Denim and Diamonds closed years ago!
Great place for 2-Steppin.
Awesome Bartenders, Jill is the best!
Fun place with decent food and good drinks. Great live music. Wish the dance floor was bigger and way more tables, but good for what it is.
Very cute, albeit small country bar, good drink options and food was pretty good. The 3$ margaritas were not good but you get what you pay for 🤷🏼♀️ good music friendly staff and the dance lessons are much more concise than at whiskey roads which I appreciate. If it weren't so far I would definitely go more often!
BEST place by far to line dance in Tucson (where they understand personal space on the dance floor a bit better). Sat nights are FINALLY a joy, as Pork Chop DJ'd after line dance lessons, so we could continue to line dance for an hour or more before the band started (THANK YOU Porkchop!!).
If line dance music available after Sat lessons we'll certainly be having dinner and drinks, along with a few others here on Sat's after this.
If you enjoy dancing this is a great feel of honky tonk, neighborhood bar, and a great diverse crowd with no judgment. You can dress country if desired or not, NO one cares. Everything, including restrooms very clean. Bartenders are THE best! Hands down an outstanding find.
Line dance lessons start anywhere from 5-6p (check their website for days and times). Makes for a fun evening out, as things start earlier than most places, making it simpler to get to school or work the next day.
Okay this place is so cute. I have no idea how to dance ANY of the dances but the patrons were friendly enough to tell us.
