The hidden speakeasy, The Still, is hosting the first annual “Le Fee Verte” and tasting event from 5 – 7 p.m. on Saturday, December 21.
La Fee Verte — or the Green Fairy — is the spirit of absinthe and is said to be an essence of artistic inspiration.
On every other day, The Still specializes in hand-crafted cocktails from the Prohibition and Pre-Prohibition Era, but at this event you’ll be joined by Tucson Meetup Absinthe Lovers Literary Guild for an evening of Absinthe tastings, mingling, history, and tutorials.
So, how do you get into this secretive party that’s influenced by a green fairy?
You’ll be allowed in if you come with someone who has been there or you can test your luck at thestilltucson.com and “break the code.” In other words, fill out the reservation request.
If you’re granted access you’ll learn the correct way to prepare Absinthe, and the members will be able to sample them as well. Also, a gourmet selection of small plates will be available.
The Still’s location is hidden, but visit thestilltucson.com for more information.

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.
