OBON might be better known as a downtown Tucson sushi and ramen bar. But it also happens to be one of the most inventive cocktail bars around town. The bar's David Bowie-inspired "Space Oddity" cocktail went viral not too long ago, a beautifully-rendered drink featuring squid ink and edible pearl dust. If that's not your thing, the house cocktail menu includes stand-outs like a Black Tea Old Fashioned (featuring washed bourbon, tea milk and bitters). Another highly inventive drink is the I Want My Umami, a refreshing beer cocktail featuring a Hite beer, a Korean-inspired michelada mix, and a shot of soju.
