About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Innovative
  • Great for creative cocktails
Bata is a restaurant designed to celebrate the best our region has to offer. We cook over a live oak fire, on our custom fabricated hearth. Our menu changes daily. We mill AZ grown grain in house, daily. We focus on whole animal butchery, done in house. We have an extensive fermentation program. Our bar program largely focuses on wines that are organic, biodynamic, and produced with minimal intervention. The cocktail list highlights the best products of the season, with a carefully curated list of spirits from across the globe. We believe that our hospitality is just as important as the food and beverages we put on the table.

We do not encourage our restaurant for young children. We do not have any highchairs in house and ask that you please bring your own if it is required.

We do not offer any outdoor seating. Private dining, kitchen counter and large party seating available. Email hello@batatucson.com for inquiries.

  • Summer Supper Club

    $50.00 per person

    Jul 10, 2025 only
    Over the summer, we will be hosting a communal Supper Club every Thursday showcasing a prix fixe menu consisting of a starter, an entree, and dessert for each guest. Bottles of wine that we find pairs best with the menu will be offered for $50/bottle, along with our usual beverage menu. Dinner will begin at 6:30, but we encourage everyone to come in a little earlier to grab some drinks, enjoy some pre-dinner snacks, and mingle while you wait. This dinner is meant to feel like a fun dinner party at a friend's house. The goal is to bring the Tucson community together, bond over bites and bottles, and beat the summer heat! If you have any questions or any troubles with booking, please email brooke@batatucson.com *Pricing excludes tax and gratuity. *A vegetarian alternative will be available. All other substitutions are politely declined.

    BATA was truly an amazing experience! The staff was so attentive, kind, educated, and welcoming. Miguel, our server, was a delight. The hostess and those who brought our food were also very kind. The food was delicious. The summer salad, mushroom skewers, and crudo were our favorites. The restaurant is beautifully minimal, warm and cozy, but all of it is approachable and comfortable. Barbata downstairs was a lovely escape from the bustle of the restaurant- visit when you finish your meal!

    Food was excellent, especially the mushroom skewers and beets. Service (D.J.) was impeccable. Excellent wine selection but a bit heavy on the markup.

    This is such a great dining experience! This was our second time there, and I chose the restaurant for our date night based on a menu that varies, and ingredients that are locally sourced. We chose the surprise 5 course dinner, and it was a spectacular experience. The chef chose for us. I enjoyed everything except the pork pate, the hubby loved it all. My motto is: If we are going out, food better be much better than what I can make it home :-) and it must be an experience. This was amazing and can't wait to go back. The drinks were delicious as well, and the Old Fashioned was crafted to perfection!

    We started my birthday celebration with amazing cocktails in Barbata. Dinner was exquisite. We had the fixed price meal for five of us. Each dish was special and delicious. The service was perfect. It’s our go to place for a special time!

    Family dinner for birthday celebration. Our waiter, Miguel, was an excellent guide. Found ourselves enjoying an eclectic blend of interesting flavor combinations. Especially enjoyed the tune crude and Labne.

    overall great night, but the fact that both of my wines needed to be chilled and took some time to find is a little disappointing. I totally get limited space, maybe a disclaimer at the bottom that all wines are cellar temp would be nice. Also, why don't you give shareware if we are suppose to share? Spoons are nice when there are brothy items and we had to ask.
