It’s the end of a long run for a bar that many Tucsonans treasure. After at least 25 years in business, The Meet Rack is closing its doors and, in the process, selling everything its got in an auction.
If you’ve been branded by Jim “God” Anderson in the past, you already have a piece of history that’ll never go away, but now there’s more you can add to your collection.
The bar is selling barstools, restaurant supplies, signed beer pitchers, stuff on the wall, and items from rooms that only some have been fortunate enough to see.
On Facebook, The Meet Rack posted the following:
“Anything is available at any time. Come and knock on Jim’s door. Have a drink, look around.”
In addition to the auction, a GoFundMe has been set up to show support toward The Meet Rack and Jim “God” Anderson.
The Meet Rack is located at 210 W. Drachman St. Keep up to date with the Meet Rack on Facebook.

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.
