Blue Front is a Foodie 500 Restaurant Partner.

Rest assured, Blue Front fans. The downtown restaurant will be open as soon as possible. Over the weekend, the news broke on Blue Front’s social media, stating that a fire has interrupted their regularly scheduled dining room hours.

“We are saddened to inform our community that we will be temporarily closed due to an electrical fire. Thank you so much for your support and understanding during this difficult time and we will see you all soon.”

To kick off the new year, the restaurant officially opened in January at 110 E Congress St., which was the former Ten55 Brewing Company’s stomping grounds. The space actually used to be a fine clothing store in the early 1900s by the same name.

A little over a week ago, Phil Reyes was announced as Blue Front’s new head chef. He’ll be incorporating his “modern style and flare” into the restaurant’s already traditional American fare. So, stay tuned for that and keep Blue Front in your thoughts as they get the restaurant back into tip-top shape.

Blue Front is located at 110 E. Congress St. For more information, visit bluefronttucson.com and follow Blue Front on Instagram.
