The halls and buildings in downtown Tucson have officially been decked with lights while the streets are spreading holiday cheer to those taking a stroll at night. Some folks may get thirsty along the way, though, and luckily once a month the Scott Avenue Cocktail Corridor quenches thirsts left and right.
The monthly event kicked off its debut in October with local restaurants, bars, and shops on Scott Avenue. This month’s event is happening during the evening on Saturday, December 11, and will include Reilly Craft Pizza & Drink, Ten55 Brewing Company, Penca Restaurante, Pearly Baker, Owls Club, and Brings Café.
“Taste your way down our surprisingly strong cocktail scene — all on one beautiful street,” said Bryan Eichhorst of Penca Restaurante, Owls Club, and Pearly Baker.
This month, each of the participating gastronomically-minded businesses will be offering one-of-a-kind cocktails, tastings, and even live music along the corridor.
Also, keep in mind that each of the locations will be offering specials at different times throughout the night. Which spot are you going to stop by first?

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.
