Where to watch Love Island USA in Tucson: 5 bars hosting weekly watch parties this season

It’s time to return to the villa for another season of Love Island USA, and this year, you can once again watch the latest drama and romance unfold alongside other fans at some of your favorite local bars. 

O’Malley's, Chela’s Latin Cuisine, and Corbett’s are among some of the venues that are set to host weekly watch parties for Love Island fans throughout the entire season.

Stephanie Shirley, marketing director for Corbett’s and Playground, organized last year’s themed parties for both venues, and said that from the beginning, the idea was to create a fun, community experience for fans, but she hadn’t anticipated just how popular they would become.

“People were doing their own little themed parties themselves, and some restaurants kind of caught on to that and then started throwing the theme parties at their restaurants, and then that became successful,” Shirley said. “We did not know what to expect, and it was such a great surprise to see so many people joining us and coming back and bringing their friends.”

In 2025, Corbett's watch party even had a special appearance by contestant, and Tucson local, Hannah Fields, who attended to mingle with fans. 

“That just really showed the positive effect that the community had, that we were offering something so exciting,” Shirley said. 

The main reason the watch parties took off, she believes, is because of the community that forms around the show. She said she compares it to watching a game at a sports bar.

“Everyone's like cheering for their team, and there's like thunder, and the excitement is literally the exact same, and I think that's what excites people,” she said. “Watching it with a whole community of people that are also laughing at the screen and yelling at certain people and characters, so I think that it just gives it this really cool experience.”

Corbett’s season watch parties will begin June 7, and will run every Sunday and Monday night at 8 p.m. featuring island-inspired drinks.

“I believe there's one or two themed cocktails that can also be a mocktail option if needed,” Shirley said.

Party-goers can also expect occasional vendors, including Lala Links permanent jewelry for the first event.

“That will be a fun one if you're there with your girlfriends and you guys want to remember that experience, that would be a fun forever face best friend bracelet exchange.”

To conclude the season, Shirley said they are already planning another finale watch party, and more details will be available as it gets closer.
