Twigs Bistro and Martini Bar in Tucson Mall opened last week. Itβs cocktail menu has classic and inventive takes on martinis.
Twigs Bistro and Martini Bar opened on April 13 after five months of renovations at the 8,700-square-foot space in the Tucson Mall parking lot, 150 W. Wetmore Road. The location had been vacant since Brio Tuscan Grille pulled out in spring 2013.
This Twigs is one of the farthest flung locations of the 15-year-old Spokane, Washington-based, family-owned chain and the company's biggest restaurant. It's the only location in Arizona.
Twigs' menu includes meal-worthy salads including several topped with beef or chicken; steak, seafood and chicken entrees sided with rice, pasta or potatoes; and single-serve pizzas from the go-to pepperoni to a decidedly more adventurous blue chicken made with gorgonzola cheese and the slightly spicy Thai chicken in a savory, creamy peanut sauce.
But Twigs' signature is the 20-plus craft martinis on the cocktail menu, from the Downtown Manhattan made from Elijah Craig Small Batch Bourbon with a dash of bitters and a hint of cherry juice to the go-to Kosmonaut (with a cranberry base) and the frisky Razitini made with black raspberry liqueur.
Twigs at Tucson is open from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. Sundays through Thursdays and until 11 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays. Details: twigsbistro.com or call 777-4649.
