[Note: Maynards is temporarily closed for Summer 2025. "We will reopen at the end of August and look forward to welcoming our customers back."

The interior features a polished bar and arched windows beneath a painted ceiling, creating a sophisticated yet comfortable atmosphere. Guests can enjoy views of the herb garden, patio, and passing trains, adding to the restaurant's unique charm. The menu showcases standout dishes like the Crispy Brussels Sprouts with mustard butterscotch, pork belly pastrami, and Marcona almonds. Another guest favorite is the Blue Crab Spaghetti, prepared with squid ink pasta, Calabrian chile, lemon cream sauce, and basil crumb. Maynards also offers a selection of craft cocktails and an extensive wine list, rounding out a refined and memorable dining experience.

@Pueblovida is closing its original downtown taproom this fall, 12 years after opening, and moving next door to a larger space at 121 E. Broadway Blvd. The new taproom will seat 100+ guests and feature 14 taps, a curated wine program and, for the first time, a restaurant. Chef Scott Girod of @Anello_pizzeria will open a new restaurant in the shared space, expected to follow the taproom’s late fall 2026 opening in early 2027. “This taproom has always been more than four walls. It’s where we’ve celebrated milestones, introduced hundreds of new beers, watched friendships grow and built a community we’re incredibly grateful for. While we’re excited about what’s next, it’s impossible not to feel sentimental about saying goodbye to the place where it all happened.” — @Pueblovida Co-founder Linette Antillon Read the article on Tucsonfoodie.com@Pueblovida is closing its original downtown taproom this fall, 12 years after opening, and moving next door to a larger space at 121 E.
