HUB Restaurant and HUB Ice Cream Parlor have both teamed up to help Whiskey Del Bac celebrate its 10th anniversary in Tucson.

There’s a lot happening to honor the local whiskey, including pairing events, limited whiskey-infused ice creams, and a new cocktail series featuring Whiskey Del Bac’s famous American single malt whiskey.

First up, there’s a dinner you oughta know about and then we’ll get to the ice cream pairing experience.

Rooftop Dinner featuring HUB Restaurant, Barrio Brewing & Whiskey Del Bac

Thursday, September 16 at 6 p.m.

278 E. Congress St.

For the season, there is one last dinner in HUB Restaurant’s popular Rooftop Dinner Summer Series, and HUB’s executive chef David Bishow and general manager Armando Gonzales have carefully crafted this one.

The pair worked creatively with the teams at both Whiskey Del Bac and Barrio Brewing to curate a five-course dining experience with a beautiful view of the city, too. Each course of the dinner has been paired with either a brew from Barrio Brewing’s selection or a cocktail crafted by the HUB team with Whiskey Del Bac’s whiskey.
