More than a year ago, Bed Bath & Beyond hit the road (permanently closed) at Grant and Swan Road, paving the way for Roadhouse Cinemas’ brand-new expansion concept.

The time has come, and Roadies is now open, hosting its soft opening “practice week” at 4811 E. Grant Rd. #131. At the moment, Roadies is open 5 – 10 p.m. on Monday – Friday and noon – 10 p.m. on Saturday – Sunday.

There’s actually a lot going on inside Roadies — a restaurant, bar, several bowling lanes, axe throwing, laser tag, arcades, live music on select nights, and even mini movie theaters. 

The bowling alley section of Roadies is using a nifty technology named Spark Augmented Reality Bowling, adding “stunning visuals, immersive animations, and customizable gameplay” to the old-fashioned experience.

On the Menu

There’s a lot going on with Roadies’ food and beverage menu, too.

You’ll find handhelds like Cubanos, birria quesadillas, baskets of waffle fries, and the spicy Cluck Norris fried chicken sandwich — all served with your choice of seasoned fries, coleslaw, or salad.

There’s also a solid taco lineup, from carne asada to vegan “steak.” Starters include Southwest eggrolls, mac & cheese bites, and the share-worthy Nacho Libre topped with queso and roasted corn.

Over at the bar, they’re serving wine, local craft beers, and cockatils.

You can check out the full menu here.

Happy Hour is from 3 – 6 p.m. on Monday – Thursday, with a reverse Happy Hour from 9 p.m. to close on the same days. During these times, you’ll score $2 off beer, wine, and house margaritas with half-off select appetizers.

A Decade in Tucson

Ten years ago, the original RoadHouse Cinemas (just on the other side of Roadies) opened its doors in Tucson, pumpig up the movie-going experience with its blend of comfort, in-theater dining, and entertainment.

RoadHouse Cinemas has two other locations at the moment — one up north in Scottsdale in 2017 and another in Colorado Springs, Colorado in 2020.

In Tucson, Roadies is located at 4811 E. Grant Rd. #131. For more information, visit roadhousecinemas.com.
