Blue Front is a Foodie 500 Restaurant Partner.
Rest assured, Blue Front fans. The downtown restaurant will be open as soon as possible. Over the weekend, the news broke on Blue Front’s social media, stating that a fire has interrupted their regularly scheduled dining room hours.
“We are saddened to inform our community that we will be temporarily closed due to an electrical fire. Thank you so much for your support and understanding during this difficult time and we will see you all soon.”
To kick off the new year, the restaurant officially opened in January at 110 E Congress St., which was the former Ten55 Brewing Company’s stomping grounds. The space actually used to be a fine clothing store in the early 1900s by the same name.
A little over a week ago, Phil Reyes was announced as Blue Front’s new head chef. He’ll be incorporating his “modern style and flare” into the restaurant’s already traditional American fare. So, stay tuned for that and keep Blue Front in your thoughts as they get the restaurant back into tip-top shape.
Blue Front is located at 110 E. Congress St. For more information, visit bluefronttucson.com and follow Blue Front on 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.
