Meet me at the mission at midnight, banditos! Actually, more like 2:30PM today, and closer to the hotel.

Legendary Arizona musician Roger Clyne wants to take Tucson’s tequila enthusiasts on a Cantina Crawl, serving up his signature Mexican Moonshine Tequila as a double-decker bus snakes its way through several watering holes around the Old Pueblo. Clyne will also be there promoting Banditos, his new bar in Puerto Pensaco, Mexico, as well as his annual Circus Mexicus music festival, which takes place in Penasco on June 5th – 8th.

The whole thing starts off at Hi Fi Kitchen & Cocktails on Congress St., east of the 4th Ave underpass, at 2:30PM–look for the red bus and the sombreros–and ends w/ a free 9:30PM outdoor acoustic performance at the Hotel Congress Plaza. The concert will also serve as the official after-party for Meet Me Downtown 5k Night Run and Walk. The schedule is as follows:

Hi Fi: 2:30PM
Old Father Inn: 3:30PM
Finni’s Landing: 5:00PM
Dante’s Fire: 6:15PM
Augustin Kitchen: 7:30PM
JunXion Bar: 8:30PM
Hotel Congress: 8:30PM
w/ Cup Cafe tacos, live music and an acoustic performance from Roger Clyne at approximately 9:30PM.

@istanbultucson is expanding with a second location, @istanbulmediterraneanexpress, at 5660 W. Cortaro Farms Rd. 

The fast-casual spot will feature about 75% of the original location’s menu, plus two exclusive dishes: build-your-own Turkish stuffed baked potatoes, known as Kumpir, and fresh-ground doner made in-house. The falafel plate and stuffed potatoes can also be made vegan. 

“The first restaurant taught us what our customers love most, so at Cortaro we’re focusing the menu around our most popular dishes while making the experience a little more casual and convenient. Most importantly, we’ve learned that no matter how much we grow, the quality of our food has to stay high every single day.” — Kamran Esar

Daily hours: 11am - 9pm
