Happy hour calls for patio dining with light bites & affordable cocktails at Maynards Market

Happy hour calls for patio dining with light bites & affordable cocktails at Maynards Market

Jul 9, 20191 min read

Need happy hour inspiration?

If you can picture yourself on a patio surrounded by twinkling lights behind Tucson’s Historic Train Depot with a bottle of wine and pre-dinner eats, we’ve got just the spot for you.

Head to Maynards Market from 4 p.m. – close to catch their happy hour specials.

The Tucson Foodie team hit the patio at sundown and were treated to a spread from the menu.

Menu highlights:
  • Chef’s Board Combo ($20) — Chef’s choice of three cheeses, cured meats, fresh fruit, quince paste, and one bottle of our featured wine of the month ($13 without the wine)
  • Panisse ($7) — Crispy chickpea cakes, Calabrian chili olive vegan aioli, and mint (vegan)
  • White Sangria ($6)

With or without the wine, the Chef’s Board is one to share. The wines rotate weekly and the featured duck was tender and tasty.

Our top vegan bite was the Panisse. The vegan chickpea cakes, easy finger food, were a pleasant texture and accompanied by a bright, spicy aioli.

With a variety of affordable cocktails and glasses of wine, you can’t go wrong. That White Sangria, though… we’re ready for another!

Happy hour takes place from 4 – 8 p.m. Sunday – Thursday and from 4 – 9 p.m. Friday and Saturday.

Maynards Market is located at 400 N.Toole Ave. For more information, visit maynardstucson.com/market/happy-hour.

IOU Sushi III has closed. The all-you-can-eat sushi restaurant on North Oracle Road announced the news on Facebook after about 10 years in Tucson. “This is the hardest post I’ve had to write,” the owners said. The post continued, “we have met some great friends who have become family to us.” Tucson Foodie first visited the restaurant in 2017, when it operated as IOU Sushi IV.

Anne Rysdale built @sheltercocktaillounge in 1961 with concrete walls, lava rock, and Cold War nerves. Today, owners Pam Santangelo and Kevin Breutzmann keep the Tucson bar exactly as regulars remember it. Inside, martinis share space with JFK memorabilia, a vintage atomic chandelier, and a suit of armor named Charlie. “Tucson is changing so much, but this has stayed the same. It’s a time capsule,” Santangelo said.

Scratch-made Japanese ramen goes far beyond instant noodles, with rich broths like tonkotsu, miso, and shoyu. Tucson has more specialty ramen shops than you might expect. Here’s where to find them around town.🍜
