Trident Grill II To Open March 1 At Plaza Palomino

Trident Grill II To Open March 1 At Plaza Palomino

Feb 25, 20161 min read

After months of anticipation, Trident Grill II is officially set to open at 2900 North Swan Road inside Plaza Palomino Tuesday, March 1.

Trident Grill opened 14 years ago at 2033 East Speedway Boulevard and has been Tucson’s resident East Coast sports bar ever since. Trident II will serve as an extension of the Speedway location, with the same menu blueprint and atmosphere.

The biggest change in the new location will simply be space. At 3,700-square-feet, Trident II will have the capacity to hold two and a half times as many guests as Trident I. The dining room and patio will comfortably seat over 200 guests, making Trident II an ideal solution for fans that want to enjoy game days outside the tightly-packed restaurants surrounding the University of Arizona.

The aforementioned patio, arriving right on time for Spring weather, will open up into the restaurant and welcome patrons that want to bring their dogs along.

According to General Manager Danny Gallego, the Trident team hopes to make the transition as smooth and comfortable as possible for fans of the original location, and plan to keep the same specials and happy hour deals in place.

However, there are a few changes that regulars and newcomers are sure to welcome. In addition to the new patio space, the bar menu is facing an upgrade. Trident II will offer wine from a few of their two dozen taps, and the overall draft, liquor and wine selection will have an emphasis on incorporating local brewers, distilleries and wineries.

Trident Grill invites the Tucson community to come celebrate the opening with them on March 1.

@Pueblovida is closing its original downtown taproom this fall, 12 years after opening, and moving next door to a larger space at 121 E. Broadway Blvd.

The new taproom will seat 100+ guests and feature 14 taps, a curated wine program and, for the first time, a restaurant. Chef Scott Girod of @Anello_pizzeria will open a new restaurant in the shared space, expected to follow the taproom’s late fall 2026 opening in early 2027.

“This taproom has always been more than four walls. It’s where we’ve celebrated milestones, introduced hundreds of new beers, watched friendships grow and built a community we’re incredibly grateful for. While we’re excited about what’s next, it’s impossible not to feel sentimental about saying goodbye to the place where it all happened.” — @Pueblovida Co-founder Linette Antillon

After 13 years, Agustín Kitchen has permanently closed its doors at Mercado San Agustín.

The space already has its next chapter lined up. Il Santo, an Italian concept from hospitality veteran Vito Prencipe and fifth-generation Tucsonan Bonnie Callahan, will take over the space.

“I leave this chapter with mixed emotions as I say goodbye to our friends, patrons and colleagues at Agustín Kitchen. It’s with gratitude and admiration that I thank our managers, chefs, staff, and purveyors both old and new for their years of collaboration. Agustin Kitchen has meant so much to so many over this time and has been a beloved anchor in the Mercado District community.” — Owner Adam Weinstein
