I used to live in Tucson while I went to the University of Arizona (go Cats!). Going to Bison Witches was simply part of the U of A experience. I am very glad to know that even though Bison Witches is also at Arizona State University, it becomes an honorary U of A bar prior to ASU/U of A basketball and football games in Tempe! I enjoyed a nice lunch there before today's basketball game with countless U of A fans. Rest assured, Sun Devils, Bison Witches is a great bar and restaurant with plenty of Sun Devil pride during the rest of the year.
Bison Witches is about much more than just the atmosphere though. The food itself is great and quite reasonably priced. They are known for their bread bowls. For about $8, you can get what I get: the 1/2 sandwich and soup special (with a bag of chips). A secret that I learned after going a few times is that you can choose TWO of your favorite soups/bread bowls and they will mix them together half and half. I'd recommend the Wisconsin Cheddar and the Cream of Potato Bacon for a nice combination.
The service is usually pretty good, but during a day like today, my friend and I had to get there super early (and end up sitting at the bar) to be able to enjoy good food and a nice atmosphere before a rivalry basketball game. Still highly recommended!
