The man behind Borderlands is opening a new agave-based hotspot
I don't think there is anything Es Teran can't do.
With two Borderlands taprooms under his belt and a third one on its way, Teran is in the process of adding one more spot to his list of accomplishments.
Sonora Moonshine Company is Teran's newest venture. Housed on the ground floor of the VFW Lofts, it will focus on agave-based spirits, complete with shareable dishes and a speakeasy basement.
For the main bar, Teran wanted to bring Mexico to Tucson, incorporating agave-based spirits like tequila, mezcal, bacanora and sotol into classic drinks. For example, an old fashioned with mezcal instead of whiskey or adding bacanora to your paloma.
To go along with their creative drinks, they also have various shareable dishes to choose from. Guacamole with crispy carne seca, sea aguachiles with octopus, shrimp and salsa Negra and a giant soft pretzel with a side of mole to dunk it in are all on the menu.
The most exciting part of Sonora Moonshine Company is the speakeasy. Unlike other basement bars around town, you have to text a phone number to make reservations.
If there is availability at that time, you’ll get a text back about where to meet one of the workers. They will then lead you downstairs where bartenders will be ready to create personalized drinks based on the flavors you enjoy.
Sonora Moonshine Company with be holding their grand opening celebration on May 5 with live music, drinks specials and brunch.
