The very wise Dave Barry once said, "Without question, the greatest invention in the history of mankind is beer. Oh, I grant you that the wheel was also a fine invention, but the wheel does not go nearly as well with pizza." And without question, the best beer joint in Tucson is 1702. With an ever-changing selection of more than 50 specialty brews on tap, hopheads and stoutists can finally co-exist at the same bar in peace. If you're having trouble choosing, the wait staff is always knowledgeable and generous with samples. Oh, and they've got some super-tasty pizza and ice cream to accompany that beer.
