‘Drinksgiving’ Parties & Specials in Tucson (Thanksgiving Eve)


November 21, 2023
By Matt Sterner

‘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.
