Mr Head’s

Good beer and friendly staff. The environment here is really cool with glass pieces to view inside and an outdoor patio that usually has a band playing. Inside they have old game systems set up occasionally so we were able to play Mario. Reasonably priced beers!

Love this place on Fridays. not Saturday’s. Friday is always a nice throwback DJ so those hip hop jams we all miss. The drinks are average price/​size. The bartender with the dreads is really friendly and efficient. All the bartenders are pretty good actually. The outside is very chill so perfect if you want a lowkey night. I wish the bathroom had another stall but that’s not a huge issue. Saturday’s doesn’t have a DJ and they play some random radio that you can barely hear. There was also a man with a pit bull there so the tells you how low lowkey sat is. The dog was cute and well behaved though. Highly recommend Friday if you’re looking for something chill with friends or even a first date. It’s usually where my group and I start our night.

Best draft selection in Tucson. Friendly bartenders who like to chat. Awesome patio that makes for a great place to relax and listen to the sick tunes they play. Overall a really great place to be.

slow, awful service. the female bartender with the short bangs was so rude and had a bad attitude. will never go back!

Awful rude little troll of a bartender took a joke she heard between our friends personally and yelled at my group. Brown ratty hair and short straight bangs. We paid our tab and she purposely asked what was the last name on the card as if we were not paying with our own card. Definitely going to think twice before going back to Heads.

Mr. Heads is a great, laid back bar with friendly bartenders and a fantastic selection of beer. I think between their beers on draft and in bottles/​cans the only bar nearby that has a bigger selection is tap and bottle. However, Mr. Heads also has a great selection of liquor, particularly whiskeys.
I especially like the size and location of the patio at this place. You can actually look out and people watch on 4^th while you drink your beer (or other beverage). My friends and I like to stop here and grab beer after a long ride on our bikes. I haven’t been here late on a weekend yet but I definitely intend to come back and see what their busy Friday nights are like.
I also thought it was neat that they have chalkboard listing all the places that deliver to the bar. I’m sure that would be very helpful depending on your degree of inebriation.
Overall
Mr. Heads is worth the second look, I wouldn’t call it my favorite on 4^th yet but its definitely one of the bars I intend to visit on a more regular basis now.

What a great little spot within a few blocks of my house. The patio is welcoming and have seen many people with their dogs out there (I have yet to bring the pug, but soon he will make an appearance). The bartenders are knowledgeable and it is one of the few select places on 4^th Avenue that I trust making a Sazerac, Old Fashioned, or basically any classic cocktail that any trained bartender should know.

Probably my favorite bar (straight up booze, no food here) on 4^th, and by extension Tucson. So far. 20oz PBR for $ 2 all day, and Sonoran White Chocolate ale (Gods Beer of Choice) cold and on tap. 3 stars right there.
Heads is good for a few different reasons. As long as you’re not there to do coke or tweak, Thursday nights with the 90s DJs is pretty cool. I’ve seen people get thrown out of the restroom, so do your drugs before hand.
Wednesday is probably my favorite night to go to Heads. That’s the amateur stand-​up night. Usually hit or miss, but this one fat guy has brought the house down with audience put-​downs, and it’s free, so win-​win.
Finally, though Heads is far from a sports bar, it’s the perfect place to catch a game in a quieter atmosphere with a more relaxed and chill crowd. Sometimes sports bars are too full of piss-​yourself-​drunk né’er do wells.

I was extremely disappointed in this establishment. I requested several old school hip hop songs (their specialty), and I even paid to hear them! Instead of hearing my requests, the Dj took my money and tried kicking me out. I will never return.

So… sort of a strange experience here last Saturday night. After having a few drinks at the bar, I went to the bathroom to brush my teeth.
First off, I understand that people might think it’s odd to brush your teeth at a bar. But I carry a miniature toothbrush and toothpaste with me when I go out, and I use them after I eat in order to have fresh breath. I’d just had a meal at Hotel Congress with a lot of garlic, and then several beers at Mr. Heads, and I wanted to freshen up my mouth.
So I go to the men’s room (not the one on the patio, the one down the hallway from the bar). On the way in, I notice that there is no longer a lock. So it is physically impossible to lock the door. This is a one person bathroom, with one toilet… so it would be pretty weird if you needed to take a crap… you would have to sit on an exposed toilet in an unlocked room that bar customers are constantly barging into.
Since I am only going in to brush my teeth, I sidle up to the sink and start to brush. And since the sink is right by the door, I decide to block the door, using my foot as a wedge. Then, about five seconds later, I feel someone push on the door, pretty hard. I think: okay, someone wants to use the bathroom. I figure that when this person feels that the door isn’t budging, he will wait until I come out. But no, he keeps pushing… pushing really hard! I’m actually worried my foot is going to get hurt, and the door is, like, bending.
I say: Dude, there’s someone in here!
The guy says: Mr. Heads security, open up RIGHT NOW!
Okay, okay, I say (realizing that it is a bouncer and not just some customer trying to get in. I let the bouncer in immediately).
He says: What are you doing in here?
I say: I’m brushing my teeth. (I hold up the toothbrush and toothpaste. My mouth is full of foam.)
He stares at me, and says: You’re brushing your teeth?
I say: Yes. (thinking: yeah, dude, it’s not some elaborate magic illusion that I have this toothbrush and this toothpaste and my mouth full of foam.)
He says: Well, why were you blocking the door then?
I say: Because there’s no lock on the door, and I’m, like, in here.
The bouncer suddenly walks away down the hall, without saying a word.
Is it that weird to block a door with your foot when there’s no way to lock it? I admit it may be weird to brush your teeth in a bathroom, but I don’t think it’s weird to try to block people from bursting in on you when there’s no lock.
As the night wore on, however, I realized what was going on. I saw bouncers and security guys rush into the men’s bathrooms about six times. Then it clicked: they were trying to catch people doing drugs. At one point they burst into the bathroom and escorted out a sketchy-​looking guy that had (I assume) been caught doing cocaine or something. Fair enough, every business has the right to make sure no drugs are being done on its premises.
Of course, the bouncers paid no attention to the women’s bathrooms… because women never do drugs, am I right?
Anyway, the experience was kind of shitty. If you are a man, and you go to the bathroom at Mr. Heads, be prepared to have the bouncers burst in violently to find out if you are taking illegal drugs. It’s a pleasant way to unwind after work.

Can’t live with it, can’t live without it. Still don’t want to be approached about my Unilocal and can do without staff/​managers commenting on my Facebook. Mr. Heads is fun

Have been a huge fan of Mr. Heads since they opened! Love the glass blowing room right inside the bar, sweet touch. I’ve also purchased several items from the Galleria style bar which are pieces of work from locals. Always a win in my book. Bar keeps are lovely and polite and quick to serve.

Friendly staff, anti-​tweaking… Pretty decent selection of beer. I get impressed when bars have better things than standard primarily blondes, porter’s and stout’s on tap. They get an extra star for having Positive Contact on tap last year… I liked their Beer Club they had which didn’t have a great turn out and often was served warm beer… but it was unique and appreciated for the effort.
The crowd can get a bit weird and confusing between gangsta wanna be’s and hipsters

I like this bar a lot! They often have live performers+bands out here which makes it great … Fathead used to be my favorite head shop too before they closed down. so maybe that makes me a little bias ;D

Walked in tonight with my daughter and her boyfriend. We sat at the bar and an employee walked right over to us, ignored us and turned his back to us as he was using the POS. No greeting, nothing. We waited, and waited, I said hello. He ignored us. I said HELLO. He ignored us. I yelled HELLO! and he turned around and said ‘Don’t yell at me in here, it’s rude!’
How rude is it to ignore three customers that just walked in your door? What a pompus _​_​_​this guy is. Great place for beer, music — Tyler needs a different line of work away from the public

While it’s only a few years old, Mr Head’s definitely ensconced itself in the «old Tucson» tradition of 4^th Ave, rather than the slick new Bushwick-​lite of downtown proper. The crowd is rather diverse, from your typical collegiate douchebaggery to working class, and is more relaxed than the insanity you find down the street. However it contains the element that might slip something in your drink. Mr Head’s also features live music and cheap drink specials, and a patio open year-​round. Bartenders thankfully don’t tolerate inane screaming of drunk Jennifers.

When the DJ tells you it’s 80s/​90s hip hop night, be prepared for the inevitable top 40 bullshit like «blurred lines» from Robin Thicke because that’s what happened to us on what seemed to be a promising night.
It was cool that the second DJ took over and eased into Marvin Gaye (70s?) but that ended when he brilliantly (see sarcasm) mixed in to «Blurred Lines.» What’s worse? I
see the original gangsta (head DJ) take a break to talk to some peeps while something is still spinning (mp3 still on play) and I flag him down to request some Slum Village which I hoped would excite the mother fu$&er. Instead, he tells me to come up and submit a request instead of yelling and screaminrg, «Show some respect for the DJ.» Uh… What?! (We up and left.)

Came here after the Territorial Cup game.
There was no charge at the door, although that may change later. Everyone is real friendly here, but bar service can get slow. Be prepared to wait a bit, or if your lucky or a hot chick, or both, you can grab the bartender’s attention quick.
Drink prices are reasonable.
Crowd is pretty mixed; it makes for some great people watching. The environment is pretty fun. Never made it out to the patio, but I keep reading how chill it is. Maybe next time then. As far as music goes, Its pretty mixed, much like the crowd.
When they kick you out at the end of the night, they come with an annoying bull horn. Its funny how effective this horn is. Great idea guys. If I owned a popular bar, I know now how to get everyone out.
For some reason, they kick us out last. And never used the horn on us. still waiting for the time they do, but for now I smirk at others.

Ive been to Mr Heads a few other time and we recently came here for a drink toward the end of the night. The bouncers were very polite and the bartender was great too. Friendly people with a great location! Seemed like a very chill crowd too. Good energy here and I like the way the bar is decorated in. I will come back!

Patio, what what? There are probably two places on 4^th Ave that I could pass the entire day away. Sky Bar and Mr Head’s. I’m not too crazy about the interior. I def love the hip and swanky vibe, the bar top is extremely cool, but something about the seating arrangement, maybe it’s the tables crammed against that one wall, I’m just not a fan if the inside. That’s ok though in Tucson, because the weather is beautiful year round, and there is tons of seating! 4^th Ave has long been a place for eyeing the most interesting of passerbys, and Mr. Head’s doesn’t disappoint! They also seem to have a great local focus, and recently sponsored an Earth Day celebration I was at. Major points for that!
Know Before You Go: It fills up late at night, if you’re able, grab a patio seat early to ensure you have a spot for the local music they bring in!
