Months after closing the original Whiskey Roads location, at 2265 W. Ina Road, the owners are finally reopening in the much larger space at Foothills Mall that was home to World Grille By Sega.
Whiskey Roads, the northwest side country-music themed nightclub, sports bar and restaurant, is opening in the Foothills Mall on Feb. 11, more than four months after closing its original location across the street.
The opening in the cavernous long-vacant World Grille location comes days before the Super Bowl and weeks before the start of the La Fiesta de los Vaqueros Tucson Rodeo and the Cologuard Classic golf tournament. Whiskey Roads is the official nightclub for both events, said entertainment and marketing director Duhamel Cassell.
The new location, at 7401 N. La Cholla Blvd., is nearly three times as big as the 5,600-square-foot Romano’s Macaroni Grill space at 2265 W. Ina Road that Whiskey Roads occupied for just over two years. It closed last October amid some neighborhood noise complaints to state liquor board authorities, who on Thursday, Feb. 3, sided with the club.
But the biggest driver for moving, owner Fernando Gomez said, was that the club had become too popular for the space.
“The first night we opened we outgrew it, which was pretty awesome,” he said.
The new Whiskey Roads, at 7401 N. La Cholla Blvd., is nearly three times as big as the 5,600-square-foot space it previously occupied for just over two years.
Gomez and his partners Greg Wexler and Josh Arvizu invested about $1.2 million renovating the 15,000-square-foot mall space that had stood empty since World Sports Grille by Sega abruptly closed in March 2013 as it was approaching its fifth year in Tucson.
