Creatures of the Night Halloween Party with Tucson Foodie & Jackrabbit Lounge

Oct 17, 20241 min read

Well, it’s one of those years when Halloween falls on a random weekday (it’s Thursday this year).

So, some parties are happening the weekend before, much like Tucson Doobie’s Halloweed event, and other haunted gatherings are happening on the actual holiday: October 31. However, staying out late on a Thursday can be frightening for folks if they work early the following morning.

Here’s where the Creatures of the Night Halloween Party comes into play!

On Friday, November 1, Tucson Foodie is teaming up with The Jackrabbit Lounge for a spooky bash at 2000 N. Oracle Rd. At 8 p.m., the party starts with late-night bites, themed cocktails, a costume contest, and live music by DJ Han Cholo and Gorville Wreck.

If you’re worried about parking, forget about it. Jackrabbit Lounge has its own parking lot with plenty of spaces, and if it’s full, there is street parking nearby.

It’s just $10 to get into the Halloween party but Foodie Club members get in for free!

Sneak Peek of the Spooky Cocktails

  • Black Lagoon – Bacardi, Passion, Chai, Lime, Dirty Dump Top with Pebbles, Ango, Mint/Lime Wheel
  • Pumpkin Cider – Bourbon, Pumpkin, Spiced Syrup, Lemon, Ginger Beer
  • Krueger – Berry Vodka, Grenadine, Sprite Pineapple Frond
  • Redrum – Bacardi, Pineapple, Egg White, Cream Soda, Ginger Foam

In addition to the themed cocktails, Jackrabbit Lounge bartenders will be serving a Vampire Blood Halloween-themed shot, which is a Lemon Drop colored red with shiny black glitter.

Party on, ghouls!

The Jackrabbit Lounge is located at 2000 N. Oracle Rd. Cover is $10 at the door unless you’re a Foodie Club member (it’s free for you).

More about Matt

At a very young age, Matt Sterner was gifted with the artistic ability to masterfully roll a burrito to the highest of standards, but the wrapped medley of delicious innards wasn’t his first love. Matt’s first true love was a combination of reading, writing, and creating. He grew up reading comics, the ingredients list of his shampoo and conditioner bottles, choose-your-own-adventure books, and the Scrabble dictionary — something he found useful when challenging his grandmother to a game.

He attended college at New Mexico State University and graduated with a degree in Digital Filmmaking. One of his favorite classes was screenwriting because he became responsible for the story’s birth before it came to life on-screen. After school, Matt took on numerous positions at a local television station in Tucson. From dealing out stories about heartbreak to producing “fluffier” content for a lifestyle broadcast, he learned what it takes to adapt to the many emotions the world of media can stir. Since 2017, Matt has dabbled in the culinary world of Tucson as well as San Diego, California from time to time.

If you’re in the mood for strange stories, head over to his pride and joy, wonkytimes.com. And in case you’re curious — yes, after all of this time, he still manages to roll a killer burrito.
