‘Twas the night before Thanksgiving, when all through the house. The relatives were stirring, and especially your spouse...
This year, let someone else do the stirring on Wednesday, November 22.
Get out of the house the night before, spend some time with yourself or others, and soak up these drink specials happening in Tucson on the unofficial holiday “DrinksGiving.” And, of course, it’s not a holiday designed to get away from the family so invite them along as well.
On Wednesday, they’ll have an all-day Happy Hour, cookie pairings, and Turkey Trivia at 6 p.m. (the top three teams will win a frozen turkey and a gift card). Plus, the Yum Yum Pocha food truck will be parked outside by the time trivia kicks in.
The Northwest side taproom and pizza joint is hosting a “Black Out” party from 8 p.m. – 2 a.m., meaning they want everyone to wear black. They’ll also be serving themed cocktails and a DJ will be spinnin’ tunes.
“A personal favorite. Highly underrated. Join us as we watch 2009’s ‘Gentlemen Broncos.’ Outside. The Under Pressure food truck will be here with its great menu. The food truck will be there by 6 p.m. and the movie starts at 7 p.m.”
The Mysterious Babies Traditional Jazz Band will be performing from 7 – 10 p.m. and tickets are $10 per person if you’d like reserved seating (free for general admission).
“Guy Senese leads the Mysterious Babies in the tradition of Armstrong, Bechet, Jelly Roll Morton, and other Early Jazz innovators out of New Orleans and Chicago.”
The downtown arcade bar is hosting a “Twerksgiving” party, meaning they’re hosting a “twerk-off contest.” The best to twerk it on the dancefloor wins $100 and the two runner-ups get a free turkey. The big party is from 9 p.m. – 2 a.m.
The dimly lit cocktail lounge is hosting a pin-up variety peep show beginning at 8 p.m. Before that, enjoy their Happy Hour from 4 – 7 p.m.
On the night before Thanksgiving, the bar will be hosting karaoke at 9 p.m., finger foods, and stiff drinks. They open at 5 p.m. so stop on by if you want to get to bed early.
It’s Whiskey Wednesday and the bar/restaurant will have $2 off Frank August bourbon and $1 off other select whiskey. Plus, they’ll have $1 off drafts and wells all day.
The country bar is ready to get loud, wild, and crazy. The Billy Shaw Jr. Band will perform at 8 p.m. and then DJ Blade and Porkchop will spin some hits after that. They’ll also have $3 wells, $3 White Claws, 1$ domestic drafts, and $1 Jell-O shots.
Come on down to Mr. Heads for $1 off drafts and wells all day. Then, if you need an encore on Thanksgiving, they’ll be open from 7 p.m. – 2 a.m.
A DJ will be playing some jams later in the evening and there’s a daily Happy Hour from 4 – 7 p.m.
The sports bar is celebrating its 23rd anniversary on Drinksgiving starting at 8 p.m. Come out and give them a shout-out for staying open for so many years.
“Join us at 5 p.m. as we celebrate Sierra Nevada’s seasonal Celebration IPA! Celebration is created with freshly picked hops, rushed from farm to brewery, and filled with powerful citrus and pine flavors! Celebration IPA will be available on tap & in cans during the event!”
Also, Family Joint Pizzeria will be serving pies from 5 – 9 p.m.
