The historic video rental store and taproom that’s been serving Tucson for more than 40 years is getting a tiny makeover.
Beginning Monday, July 22, Casa Video & Film Bar will be undergoing some renovations to better serve film buffs and craft beer enthusiasts.
Crews will be doing “some much-needed plumbing work” and also constructing an additional restroom.
This means the water will need to be turned off for a few days. So, Casa Video, which is open 365 days a year from 10 a.m. – 1 a.m., will still operate during this time. The show must go on!
“There might be a bit of a mess, but don’t worry, we’ll still be open,” the Casa Video team shared. “This will last about five days, and we apologize for any inconvenience.”
Here’s What to Expect
- No draft beer for the time being
- Beer in cans and bottles are still available
- Wine is available in cans
- They won’t be offering glassware (there’s no water to do dishes)
As far as what to do when nature calls, they’ll have a couple of porta-potties set up outside.
“Thanks for your understanding and continued support!”
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.

More about MattAt 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.
