Overview
It's about a three-hour drive from Tucson, but it's well worth it. This old town on steep hills offers a glimpse into Arizona's history of copper mining. The industry boom ended with the collapse of copper prices in the 1970s, leaving the area depressed until creative people moved in to make Bisbee into an artist colony, which now attracts visitors from all over the world. Where there are artists, of course, there are galleries and the numbers are growing. Browse the many antique stores, stroll down picturesque streets, explore the copper mines, and lunch at the famous Copper Queen Hotel.Open Hours
Mo to Su from 12:00 AM to 12:00 AMI lived in bisbee from 1955 to 1960, I went to school in Lowell. Of all my travels in the U.S. and Europe, I love Bisbee the best. The climate is just awesome. The people are great and the food doesn't come better. I lived in the last house on highway 80, on the left, as you go to Douglas. The town was called Lowell as I remember. I am going home very shortly so just remember that I love Bisbee,Az. I am in Indiana now and it is nothing like Bisbee....people,food,govt. and climate.
My quiet little mountain town in the middle of nowhere... This is my retreat/weekend place of relaxation. I live in a neighboring town but hang out and prefer Bisbee when I want to relax or party! The Grand Hotel has a great bar, free pool, and ambiance. St. Elmo's Bar is fun, but can get a little rowdy! It's a little on the bikey side...High Desert Market has wonderful coffee and breakfast on the go...Dot's Diner also fabulous breakfast, there is great hiking and camping nearby the town, and the Pit (the locals call the mine), is an awesome spectacle and worth a look. The locals are friendly and some are wonderfully wierd, there are some cool stores to visit on the main drag in the canyon, and the Grand Hotel has comfortable, charming, accommodations if you plan to stay overnight... I did not get a good vibe when I visited a bar called the Stock Exchange in the Brewery Gulch district...one of the bartenders was not very friendly and their drink prices seemed higher to me than other neighboring bars/hotels for what you get. Besides some impressive historical architecture I don't get what all the hub-bub is about. They do on occasion have some good bands playing but that is about it. If you want a weekend getaway/retreat Bisbee is a great place.
i love this town , i will be going back for the third time this weekend, it is such a wonderful place to go, the people who live there are generally great (there are some odd folks but for the most part good people) there are nice shops and plenty to do around town, if you DO get bored Sierra Vista is not far away. one thing i like the most i think is that there are no fast food restaurants and no cell phone service. it might trouble some people to have no phone but for me its truly a vacation. (P.S) if you REALLLY need to use your phone i have found that there is one spot in town where you can, have fun looking for it. here is a clue, its at the top of an outside stairwell in front of an inn with two names.
I love this little town! It's so unlike anything else in Arizona. I have been going back for years. I can spend hours sitting outside Bisbee Coffee Co. watching people go by, sipping one of their incredible teas or coffee drinks. My son loves their ice cream! We always have to buy honey from the Killer Bee Guy! The best honey anywhere!! Many different kinds (honey-mustard, cinnamon honey are our favorites)There is a great little market near the Circle K on your way out of town, I can't remember their name, but they have wonderful produce and incredible lunches to go. You can't forget a ride down into the Copper Queen Mines, it's a favorite of everybody's. My son loves to put on the hats and outfits and climb on the little train. It can be chilly, even when it's 90 degrees outside. I could go on and on, but you really just have to experience this darling town for yourself!
Lovely streets, shops, people, homes, weather...what can I say? I loved it! I was relieved to find this oasis in AZ as I might move here and did not like some of the other towns. It is charming and lives up to its reputation.
Bisbee is a great city. I know this because i live In Bisbee. You can walk around with your friends. Unlike big citys you cant walk around without being nervous. Like Tucson Arizona theres lots of shooting there, so you cant walk around with your friends. Here in Bisbee evryone knows eachother. Exept for one thing that I hate about Bisbee are the people who yhink that thier gangsters. Other than that I love everything in Bisbee!
A true living historical town. Picturesque, relaxing, and alive with Arizona history. I recommend staying at the Shadey Dell and going on a tour of the Copper Queen Mines. Don't forget to eat at Dot's diner and have some locally brewed beer by Dave's Electric Ale while in town.
