It’s likely you’ve read at least one of our Eating on the Cheap articles in the past. There are also plenty of deals in the local beverage world here in Tucson!
Everyone’s favorite, local video rental store (and the only video in Tucson), Casa Video & Film Bar, has a pretty sweet deal every Monday: $5 glasses of wine all day!
So, beginning at 10 a.m. and lasting until 1 a.m., cure your manic Monday with a $5 glass of Chardonnay or Malbec. Both of these are on tap and brought to you by Flying Leap Vineyards in Elgin/Sonoita Wine Country.
Additionally, they’re waiving the cork fees for all in-house bottles!
Casa Video doesn’t have a food truck parked out front on Mondays, but Fresco Pizzeria & Pastaria (3011 E. Speedway Blvd.) delivers to the taproom for free and Istanbul Mediterranean Cuisine & Bar (2945 E. Speedway Blvd.) is a 30-second walk across the parking lot.
Last but not least, if you rent any movie from Casa Video on Monday you’ll score a free regular rental from their upstairs balcony!
40-Plus Years in Tucson!
Last year, the nostalgic Casa Video celebrated its 40th anniversary — a huge milestone for not only a local business but for a video rental store!
“Where else can you have a pint of Harland’s Japanese Lager, while feasting on The Curry Pot’s finest and watching ‘Rad’ on one of the many big screens after you just rented ‘Pearl’ on Blu-ray?” said Robert Blum of Casa Video. “We wouldn’t be here without the love and support of all our members and fans.”
Read our July 2023 article “Casa Video Celebrates 40 Years in Tucson.”
Casa Video and Film Bar is located at 2905 E. Speedway Blvd. For more information, visit casafilmbar.com and follow the video store and taproom on Facebook and Instagram.
