PARTY ON: ‘The Neighborhood DWTN’ is hosting its official Grand Opening

PARTY ON: ‘The Neighborhood DWTN’ is hosting its official Grand Opening

Aug 31, 20222 min read

Much like the incredibly stylish mullet hairstyle being business in the front and a party in the back, The Neighborhood’s downtown spot is more than one concept. Think of it as a restaurant and bar during the earlier hours of the day and a total party by night.

The Neighborhood’s second location has taken over the former H2O Discotec spot at 61 E. Congress St., and after weeks of hosting soft openings, the crew is ready for its official Grand Opening.

On Saturday, September 3, The Neighborhood DWTN will be giving away free burgers to each person that comes in from 11 a.m. – 3 p.m.

As mentioned earlier, this location is a full-on party when the sun goes down but they’re still sticking to their roots other times of the day — focusing on burgers, wings, tacos, micheladas, and introducing a trendy Brunch Menu. The menu has yet to be posted, but stop by during the Grand Opening to see it for yourself or, in the meantime, take a gander at the 29th street location’s menu.

“We’ve spent a lot of time designing and remodeling this place,” said Manuel Cordova, co-owner of The Neighborhood. “We’re aiming to produce something unique to Downtown.”

Sure, the new location is like a mullet, but it’s even more like an onion — it has multiple layers, that is. One level is a restaurant, the other level is a bar, and then a lounge has its own designated area, too.

One of these levels happens to be on the rooftop and it tends to be quite the party in the evenings.

“We are bringing a place full of energy where you can come for a quick lunch, watch a game, celebrate a birthday, grab a cold one, or enjoy our vibrant nightlife on the weekends,” said Cordova.

The hours of operation will be 11 a.m. – 10 p.m. on Sunday – Thursday and 11 a.m. – 2 a.m. on Friday – Saturday. Also, don’t forget they’ll be handing out free burgers from 11 a.m. – 3 p.m. on Saturday, September 3.

The Neighborhood DWTN is located at 61 E. Congress St. For more information, call (520) 849-6539 or visit thenei.com. Also, the original location can be found at 3940 E. 29th St.

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.

@istanbultucson is expanding with a second location, @istanbulmediterraneanexpress, at 5660 W. Cortaro Farms Rd. 

The fast-casual spot will feature about 75% of the original location’s menu, plus two exclusive dishes: build-your-own Turkish stuffed baked potatoes, known as Kumpir, and fresh-ground doner made in-house. The falafel plate and stuffed potatoes can also be made vegan. 

“The first restaurant taught us what our customers love most, so at Cortaro we’re focusing the menu around our most popular dishes while making the experience a little more casual and convenient. Most importantly, we’ve learned that no matter how much we grow, the quality of our food has to stay high every single day.” — Kamran Esar
