In accordance with the CDC and Pima County guidelines, the downtown restaurant is reducing its seating capacity, but also expanding onto the neighboring Playground Bar & Lounge’s rooftop patio on certain days.

On Thursday – Sunday on the Playground’s rooftop, HUB Restaurant & Creamery is introducing its “Six Foot Supper Club” dining experience, and then a “Six Foot Breakfast Club” brunch on Saturday and Sunday morning.

Plus, they’ll be serving a “greatest hits” menu, including their beloved Prime Fries, Fish and Chips, House-Made Pastrami, HUB Burger, pot pies, and salads. Another new addition to the restaurant is the option to order family to-go meals.

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.
