Red Garter Bar and Grill has a reason to celebrate with food and drink specials on Saturday, November 30.
It’s a party that’s half a century in the making as the bar honors 50 years of business in Tucson. We’re sure you’ve seen the place — it’s the building with a gigantic mural of a horse preparing to prance onto Speedway Blvd.
Red Garter claims it’s now “over the hill” but once you walk in from outside and allow your eyes to adjust to the dimness of the interior setting, you’ll see why it’s been loved by so many Tucsonans over the years.
The food and drink specials have yet to be announced, but you can keep up with Red Garter Bar and Grill on Facebook for any further updates.
Coincidentally, the anniversary party falls on the same day as Wildcats Football’s final regular season game, in which they take on Arizona State University during the annual Territorial Cup. The game will be broadcast on the multiple screens spread around the bar, so picking a great spot to view it won’t be hard.
Red Garter Bar and Grill is located at 3143 E. Speedway Blvd. For more information, visit redgartertucson.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.
