Father’s Day 2022: Whiskey, beer, live music & plenty of steak


June 15, 2022
By Matt Sterner

Treat dad to something local this year

This Father’s Day has special dishes, cheap pints of beer, and meal deals that are big enough to feed the entire family. So, take a gander at the available options. There’s plenty to choose from, too, if you’re dad is hoping to get out of the house or perhaps order something delicious to bring home.

Heck, maybe your dad just wants a cold beer on Father’s Day. If that’s the case, there are several breweries in Tucson ready to take your pop’s order.

Keep in mind that we’ll be adding to the list each day leading up to dad’s big day, so check it occasionally if you haven’t found the perfect meal for your parent. Oh, and pay attention to the dates because some of these are happening before Father’s Day on Sunday, June 19.
