Random Notes on the New Corbett’s Sports Bar
We were recently honored to be invited to the SOFT Opening of the new “Corbett’s”. Us and a hundred other people. All media? Corbett’s is the latest Pickleball Arena, Sports Bar, and entertainment venue all wrapped up into one. At least that is what I would call it. Not being … Continue reading
Frog & Firkin: A Dining Review

B Line on 4th Avenue, Tucson
The B Line is casual dining and a local favorite for good reason. For breakfast, their crapes, bagels, and pancakes are excellent.
For lunch and dinner, their menu is varied – from soups & sandwiches, to salads w/ or w/o chicken or fish; to carne asada burritos; to pan fried salmon – all very tasty.

Yelp & TripAdvisor customer reviews for Brooklyn Pizza are generally 3-4 Stars. And Tucson Weekly’s readers usually vote it … Continue reading
