Fred's Arena Bar & Steakhouse
Tucson
Fred's Arena Bar & Steakhouse is a historic, cavernous cowboy dive bar and steakhouse located outside Tucson, featuring high open ceilings and dirt lots filled with vintage tractors. Originally founded in 1974 as a roping arena, the venue is famed for cooking steaks over an open wood-fire pit on a massive hand-cranked grill situated directly in the middle of the dining room and bar.
Commenters warmly praise Fred's Arena for its lively nights, tasty food, and nostalgic, authentic rural atmosphere. While many affectionately reminisce about horseback rides and trips out to the Three Points area, some point out the rustic condition of the dirt road leading up to the venue.
