After spending more than a decade on Fourth Avenue, restaurant and bar Bumsted’s announced via Facebook they are reopening soon:
Their address is now located at 1003 N. Stone Ave., which previously housed the Royal Sun Restaurant & Lounge. Bumsted’s closed back in early 2017 after the property manager decided to sign on burger restaurant Lindy’s on 4th.
Currently, the official grand opening is still up in the air, but a soft opening is planned for mid-July “in some capacity,” meaning that it will temporarily be takeout only.
Perhaps one of the newest additions the crew is equally pumped about is the stage, which has a built-in sound system and lighting for the ultimate karaoke experience.
“We are really excited to show off the lounge and karaoke stage,” said Scot Shuman, co-owner of Bumsted’s. “Also, very excited to have 40 parking spaces for our patrons and a kitchen that is larger than a Starbucks restroom.”
Speaking of restrooms, they’re getting a bedazzled makeover at the new location, and the kitchen is a lot bigger than the previous space, allowing them to expand parts of the menu.
To keep up with Bumsted’s, follow them on Facebook.

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.
