TUCSON, Ariz. — Once empty land on the west side of Tucson has blossomed into the bustling Mercado District.Right across the street from the construction site of the soon-to-be Bautista apartments is 81 Barbers.
The barbershop and bar combo is becoming a local staple just two years after opening on the west side. “We figured you always have to get your haircut done, you may as well enjoy yourself while you’re here," Owner Isaias Carrillo said. “We were actually the first tenant in this complex, and since then in the last two years, it’s completely full with retail. We have a building across the street, two more in the district, so it’s been growing like crazy.”
Even with the extra amenities, it’s a classic shop. Carrillo says the majority of their customers are loyal clients who have followed him as he has moved his location around Tucson.“We actually want to build a sitting area where people can come out and have a drink," Owner Celia Rodriguez said.Any purchase there gets you 10% off a drink at the bar at 81 Barbers.
