It’s the end of a residency and The Coronet is throwing one last event, an “End of an Era Soirée,” at its current location at 402 E. Ninth St. from 5 – 9 p.m. on Sunday, June 2.
The event will end its five-year run at the original location and begin the process of moving to the new location at Cushing St. — which is expected to open later this summer.
In the meantime, the party will feature food and drink specials at their current location and live music by Jimmy Carr & The Awkward Moments, who will be performing from 7 – 9 p.m.
The location at 198 W. Cushing St. features over 5,000-square-feet of space, almost tripling the current 1,700-square-feet housing The Coronet at 402 E. Ninth St.
In the coming weeks, just after the original Coronet closes, a new cocktail bar concept will open in its place.
At the new Coronet location, Moody Elbarasi will still remain as executive chef and Devon Alsakkaf is sticking around as chef de cuisine. Although, the new kitchen space will see a much more expansive menu.
The Coronet is located at 402 E. Ninth St. For more information, take a look at The Coronet’s Facebook event page.

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.
