Tobi Keith put it best. I love this bar. The famous pastrami sandwich was fattier than expected. I guess I am used to the New York style hot pastrami on rye.

This is a really capacious sports bar which is even larger than it appears from the sidewalk. I only had the french fries, and they were piping hot and nicely seasoned. I will have to return with more appetite to sample one of their famous deli sandwiches. My bartender was johnny-on-the-spot in refilling my soda glass – I never had to ask once.
This is a nice place!

This is a small, neighborhood Sam’s. It’s got three pool tables, one Shuffleboard, and Darts, that all cost money. The staff are decent, kinda rushed based on how busy they are, so sometimes it takes a while to get their attention. The food is okay and the prices are reasonable. You can choose to play your own music so that’s kinda fun! Very dark and mellow but cozy and comfortable.

Visited Sam’s for the third time with my best friend. Brittany is a great server but I have to say Andy’s drinks are amazing especially the old fashioned he made us!
We will be back again!!

I was here, maybe last Wed night. Sat at the bar. No one looked up to see who was there. What she (person with long brown hair) did not acknowledge me. She was busy with what appeared like “regulars “. Sat for close to 5 mins. So, then I thought maybe if I sit at a booth I’d get service- didn’t happen. I waited about 3 min. Then I left.
Tonight, Sunday the 14th, I had awesome service by Andy and a wonderful Manhattan. He is the bartender to go to.

My parents always raved about going to Famous Sam’s at various locations in Tucson. They loved the draght beer, chicken wings and what I always thought was a dive-bar atmosphere. Until I found Sam’s on River!! It looked like any other Famous Sam’s, understated and tucked away in a shopping center, until I walked inside!! This location is HUGE, with a surprisingly CLEAN, timeless and authentic sports bar feel.
The pool tables, shuffle board, darts and pinball are in there own area with high top tables where you can actually get service from the very attentive and friendly waitstaff. Child friendly during the day, its an easy place to relax with the family or host a celebration with there plethora of seating options. Nights at Sam’s are a little more lively and weekends especially have a bit more of an energetic/party atmosphere.
The huge horshoe is bar is the center of attention and where I find myself watching sporting events and enjoying daily specials and happy hour! Claiming this location as my favorite neighborhood bar, as a female I am extremely comfortable here ever when I am alone.
One of my favorite bartenders is Andy, you’ll know its him when you meet him! Tall, easy on the eyes and a bit of a friendly flirt, he has a way of making everyone feel welcome. He remembers your name, what you drink, and genuinely cares about his customers. Eager to make your day brighter, he doesn’t shy away from custom or random drink requests, will laugh at your jokes, and call you an Uber (if need be).
One of the sweetest behind the bar is Brittany! Kind, cute, warm, and caring, this girl quickly became someone I call a friend. Sometimes I stop in just to see what she’s doing.
If you are looking for a new place to call your home away from home, I highly recommend stopping here and getting to know everyone, even including the regulars!

Once a staple of Tucson, sadly there are only so few of these left now but we should still be grateful for them! The food is really good compared to other similar establishments and the draft beer selection is totally worth it alone! Support them all!

I’ve dropped by twice, once busy and once not.
Other patrons can be interesting…
Stellar and friendly staff though. Pastrami sandwich is amazing.
Tap list is above average.
If you’re traveling through drop by for an easy chat with some bartenders who keep it real.

What a great place to grab a bite to eat with friends! The pastrami sandwich was piled high on a fresh bun and the cheese was perfect. Service was fast, even though we had a large group and Corrie handled it like a true professional! Very good quality experience in a world of mediocracy.
