MotoSonora Brewing’s Pool Party & Long-Awaited Grand Opening

Jul 4, 20232 min read

Water you doing on Saturday, July 15? We’re asking because it’s time to get wet and wild with the team at MotoSonora Brewing Company.

Just weeks before the height of the pandemic in 2020, the brewery opened its taproom but never had the opportunity to host an official Grand Opening. Well, the time has finally come to float on with your friends and celebrate local craft beer at this swim-pressive party.

The local brewery, which is considered to be Tucson’s premier destination for motorcycle enthusiasts and beer, is hosting a fun day of summertime festivities at the taproom and patio located at 1015 S. Park Ave. The big pool party will take place from 11 a.m. – 6 p.m. on Saturday, July 15.

Tropic Like It’s Hot

You’re probably thinking, “Wait a second, MotoSonora doesn’t have a pool on their patio, right?” They’re coming in clutch and will have one large pool and two smaller pools set up on MotoSonora’s patio. So, be sure to come already dressed in your favorite swimwear because there’s going to be a lot of splashing going on with yard games and other contests to partake in.

Additionally, to get everyone’s engine revved up, Porsche Tucson is sponsoring the event — making the party a high-octane experience for all automobile-lovin’ attendees. They’ll be bringing a few vintage Porsches to the brewery for all to admire.

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.🍜
