The Century Room is now serving small bites with all that jazz (MENU)

The Century Room at Hotel Congress has been spreading its melodies downtown for the past few months and is now rearin’ up for a fun spring and summer jam session. It’s been quite a blast so far, which includes top talents from Tucson and across the country — an eclectic mix of jazz genres, comedy shows, jazz harmonica experiences, and more.

However, now there’s a new kind of rhythm hitting the corner of Congress and Fifth Avenue — a small bites menu, to be exact.

Take a gander at the new menu unique-to-Century-Room small bites menu.

SMALL BITES MENU

• Nopalitos Ceviche ($8) – grilled nopalitos, pico de gallo, and corn tortilla cups (add Sea of Cortez shrimp for an additional $4)
• Century Cheese Plate ($20) – assorted cheese and accouterments, toasted Barrio Bread baguette
• Marinated Olive ($10) – poached shrimp, chipotle cocktail sauce, and lemon
• Sea of Cortez Shrimp Cocktail ($15) – poached shrimp, chipotle cocktail sauce, and lemon

You’ve got to wash all of that down with something, right?

Luckily, there is plenty to order from the cocktail menu and even a collection of non-alcoholic drinks to savor throughout the performances. The intimate jazz venue features a range of showtimes throughout the weekend, including a Friday night concert series, late-night gigs on Thursday and Saturday, and a Sunday night jam session.
