The Century Room at Hotel Congress has been spreading its melodies downtown for the past few months and is now rearin’ up for a fun spring and summer jam session. It’s been quite a blast so far, which includes top talents from Tucson and across the country — an eclectic mix of jazz genres, comedy shows, jazz harmonica experiences, and more.
However, now there’s a new kind of rhythm hitting the corner of Congress and Fifth Avenue — a small bites menu, to be exact.
Take a gander at the new menu unique-to-Century-Room small bites menu.
SMALL BITES MENU
- Nopalitos Ceviche ($8) – grilled nopalitos, pico de gallo, and corn tortilla cups (add Sea of Cortez shrimp for an additional $4)
- Century Cheese Plate ($20) – assorted cheese and accouterments, toasted Barrio Bread baguette
- Marinated Olive ($10) – poached shrimp, chipotle cocktail sauce, and lemon
- Sea of Cortez Shrimp Cocktail ($15) – poached shrimp, chipotle cocktail sauce, and lemon
- Candied and Smoked Nuts ($9) – assorted smoked, roasted, and candied nuts
You’ve got to wash all of that down with something, right?
Luckily, there is plenty to order from the cocktail menu and even a collection of non-alcoholic drinks to savor throughout the performances. The intimate jazz venue features a range of showtimes throughout the weekend, including a Friday night concert series, late-night gigs on Thursday and Saturday, and a Sunday night jam session.
