Imagine a time when a handshake, knock, or a secret word was the key to gaining entrance to a world of bathtub gin, evening gloves, and rip-roaring jazz.

During the prohibition, a slew of underground bars were established to conceal the illicit behaviors of the young and thirsty. While the 1920s may have passed, the thrill of a hidden passageway hasn’t completely evaporated in Tucson.

The Still, hidden inside Vero Amore, will be hosting a four-course dinner on Wednesday, September 30. Each plate will feature a handcrafted Jim Beam cocktail, complementing the dish.

The Still Jim Beam Dinner Menu

  • Spicy Pork Meatballs–Pork meatballs with a Jim Beam, jicama and apple honey chutney
  • Paired with the Orchard Punch a blend of Jim Beam Apple, Jim Bean Honey, Cranberry Juice, Honey Syrup, Lemon

@Dedicatedgf is for sale, but it’s not closing. The Midtown bakery at 4500 E. Speedway Blvd. will continue normal operations into 2027 and is accepting holiday orders.

Owner Jennifer Kinkade announced the listing on Instagram, explaining that rising operating costs and accumulated debt have made it difficult to sustain the business, despite steadily increasing year-over-year sales since 2020. The sale includes the business, recipes, lease and equipment. Kinkade is also open to a partnership or angel investor. The buyer would not assume the bakery’s existing debt.

Dedicated offers an entirely gluten-free facility with vegan and dairy-free options, including pastries, bread, cookies, pies and custom cakes.

Interested buyers can email jen@dedicatedgf.com. Customers can continue placing holiday orders as usual.
