Tucson restaurants closing (temporarily) this Summer

Summer break isn't just for students

While the warmer days of summer mean "ramp-up time" for restaurants in many cities, industry folk here in Tucson are accustomed to the opposite. As students and snowbirds go on sabbatical, many restaurant owners have created a habit of following suit, closing up shop from days to months.

Whether giving their teams time to refresh or using the time to freshen up their space, we thought it would be nice to spread the word on those we're aware of and invite you to use their summer break as an extra excuse to try somewhere new.

Keep in mind that some of these dates are subject to change and we'll continue to update this list as the summer heat scorches the pavement.

The Barista Del Barrio crew will be taking a break from Wednesday, August 16 - Thursday, August 24.
