TUCSON GEM & MINERAL SHOWS
Tucson's best kept secrets. . . 
[2006]


ELBOW ROOM
1145 W. Prince Rd. (690-1011)

This little neighborhood bar has very cheap nightly specials that can be had if you purchase a beverage.
The Friday "all the fish you can eat" is a local favorite.  Tip: arrive by 4:30 or after 8:00 PM if you don't want to wait for a seat.

2010 - Unfortunatly, the old fish and shrimp special of 2pc fish + 10 Shrimp is now 3pc of fish and ONLY 3 shrimp.  You can get more fried fish but not anymore shrimp.  Not such a great deal anymore. (Friday)

Nibus Brewing
3850 E. 44th. St.  (745-9175)

Nibus Brewing is kind of hard to find but well worth the effort!  Freshly brewed micro-brewery fare is on tap with special beer of the week going for $2.75 a pint [2007].  No longer any specials during the 2010 trip.  
Tip: Try the oatmeal stout or pale ale.  The red is pretty good too!
