Celebrate Tap & Bottle’s “Six Years on 6th” with live music, food trucks & more

Jun 12, 20191 min read

Six years and sick beers on Sixth Avenue.

Tap & Bottle is in party mode for its sixth anniversary and is happening during the better part of the day from noon – midnight on Saturday, June 29.

The popular drinking spot has grown quite a bit – it expanded with a second location on Oracle Road and is becoming established downtown. Tap & Bottle is much more than a place to grab a cold drink, though. It’s common to find a food truck parked out front, it’s home to pop-up dinners, and also a host to several game-themed nights — much like the Spelling Bee[r] competitions.

Throughout the day of their anniversary celebration, there is going to be an outside beer garden, a collaboration can release with Tombstone Brewing Company, food trucks, live music and several other events happening in sequence.

Be sure to check out the schedule so you can plan accordingly.

Birthday Bash Schedule

  • Noon – Tombstone Brewing Company Collaboration Can Release
  • Noon – 4 p.m. – DJ Ry Gar releases the beats
  • Noon – 4 p.m. – You Sly Dog food truck will be parked outside
  • Noon – 4 p.m. – Beer Geek Bakery is serving birthday treats
  • 5 p.m – Cake and a toast to Tap & Bottle
  • 5 p.m. – Mariachi Tesoro performs live
  • 5 p.m. – Los Locos Tacos food truck takes over outside
  • 5:15 p.m. – “Anniversary Tribute Song” performed by Adam Ledford
  • 5:30 – 6:30 p.m. – Special Edition Tucson Adult Spelling Bee
  • 6:30 – 8:30 p.m. – Live music from Hey, Bucko

More about Matt

At a very young age, Matt Sterner was gifted with the artistic ability to masterfully roll a burrito to the highest of standards, but the wrapped medley of delicious innards wasn’t his first love. Matt’s first true love was a combination of reading, writing, and creating. He grew up reading comics, the ingredients list of his shampoo and conditioner bottles, choose-your-own-adventure books, and the Scrabble dictionary — something he found useful when challenging his grandmother to a game.

He attended college at New Mexico State University and graduated with a degree in Digital Filmmaking. One of his favorite classes was screenwriting because he became responsible for the story’s birth before it came to life on-screen. After school, Matt took on numerous positions at a local television station in Tucson. From dealing out stories about heartbreak to producing “fluffier” content for a lifestyle broadcast, he learned what it takes to adapt to the many emotions the world of media can stir. Since 2017, Matt has dabbled in the culinary world of Tucson as well as San Diego, California from time to time.

If you’re in the mood for strange stories, head over to his pride and joy, wonkytimes.com. And in case you’re curious — yes, after all of this time, he still manages to roll a killer burrito.

After a concert at Congress, a long shift, or a night out on Fourth Avenue, you might not want to stay up even later to cook. Thank you, late night kitchens. The options span more than just drive-thrus and dollar menus. From Sonoran hot dogs and solar-baked pizza to fresh gyros and craft cocktails with bar bites, Tucson’s late-night scene covers serious ground.

Some spots stay open past 2 a.m., while others offer late-night happy hours that make the decision even easier. This guide rounds up places to eat late in Tucson after 10 p.m., whether you need a full meal or just something to hold you over. Hours can change after this article is updated, so check ahead before you head out.

Tucson’s resorts offer some of the region’s most memorable dining, from Sonoran-inspired steakhouses to poolside grills with mountain views. Whether you’re staying overnight or stopping in for dinner, these properties make the meal part of the experience.

Additionally, the variety across these resorts featured here spans far beyond a single style of dining. Guests can settle into a fine-dining room overlooking the Santa Catalinas, grab tacos by the pool, or join a chef-led cooking class before dinner. Each property brings its own take on desert hospitality, so this guide breaks down where to eat and what makes each spot worth the trip.🧳🌞

@Thedistrict520 has taken over a Tucson address with nearly two decades of history. 

Once home to Pastiche, the space sat dark and gutted for two years after a difficult chapter that left the building severely damaged. Now, longtime Pastiche regulars Gabriel Cordova and Tracy Hien have brought 3025 N. Campbell Ave. back to life.

The result is something entirely new: a sports bar with nine 4K screens, shuffleboard, a pool table, and a scratch-cooking approach to burgers, wings, shrimp, and more.

From rebuilding the space themselves to receiving the blessing of Pastiche owner Pat Connors’ widow, Julie, the story behind The District is about more than opening a restaurant. It is about giving a wounded neighborhood landmark another chapter.
