The Dugout Sports Bar and Grill is a fun sports bar known for its batting cages and family-friendly game room, but the deep-fried food menu is also a home run at 4880 E. 22nd St.
The restaurant used to be named Home Plate (there’s also Home Plate in Marana but with different ownership), and the location has been a part of the Tucson community since the ‘70s.
Open from 10 a.m. – 2 a.m. seven days a week, The Dugout serves classic bar fare such as wings, burgers, and pizza.
The Dugout’s menu also has shareables like Deep-Fried Zucchini and Onion Rings — get ‘em individually or as a combo! The Jalapeño Poppers ought to get you fired up, too, if you’re planning on swinging in the batting cages.
The Dugout plates up sandwiches served on a hoagie roll. The Dimaggio, named after the baseball player, is a sandwich with ham, salami, pepperoni, Italian provolone, lettuce, tomato, and onion. While the Base on Balls is The Dugout’s meatball sandwich with mozzarella and marinara.
The Dugout also offers daily food specials!
Some of their weekly deals include Taco Tuesday, Wing Wednesday, and Fish Fry Friday.
The Dugout Sports Bar and Grill is located at 4880 E. 22nd St. For more information, visit thedugoutbar-and-grill.com.

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.
