The 60’s retro lounge that’s been serving classic and modern cocktails for longer than many of its visitors have been alive is celebrating in grand fashion.
From 3 p.m. – midnight on Saturday, December 18, The Shelter Cocktail Lounge is celebrating its 60th anniversary with a party that’ll be worth poppin’ your head in for.
The cocktail bar has plenty of specials and rotating Happy Hours every other day of the year, but this night is going to be special. They’ll be offering $2 well drinks, $2 Miller High Life bottles, $2 glasses of champagne, and $2 Fireball whiskey shots.
Oh, but that’s not all either.
Come with an appetite because they’re serving up free slices of cake and pie — some other assorted snacks, too. Plus, if you need to do a little bit of last-minute holiday shopping, The Shelter’s merchandise like t-shirts and hats will be discounted.
The Shelter Cocktail Lounge is located at 4155 E. Grant Rd. For more information, follow The Shelter 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.
