Editorial Review for The Bum Steer – by Michele McCole Moss and Timothy Gassen

The Scene
A University of Arizona tradition is a burger and brew at the venerable Bum Steer. No bar in Tucson can rival its three floors jammed with WWI canons, deer heads, car doors, pitchforks and assorted debris. Music can get a little loud with patrons shimmying across the small dance floor, but it's always fun. Have the kids with you? An assortment of arcade games keeps the youngsters busy.

The Food
Since the Steer's opening in 1974, the half-pound burgers have filled the tummies of college kids on a budget with penny pints washing them down. Loads of beers on tap and a full menu of steaks, chicken and finger foods have earned the loyalty of the locals.

the bum steer is now reopen under new ownership. there have been many wonderfull changes including a remodeling of the bar, restrooms, and kitchen. there's still STUFF hanging everywhere and an old school arcade featuring favorates like pinball, pacman, and nfl blitzz. the food is still wonderfull, and the people friendly. if you see the dancing steer out on stone ave, you simply must come check this place out. i'v even heard a rumor that when the third level reopens, there will be a dueling piano bar.

Pros: ambiance, food

Cons: long cook times, intrusive managment

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

This Tuscon institution's hefty burgers and penny pints reel in poor college kids with their laundry money in hand.  See the full editorial review.
