Raising the Bar _ Stage Left Takes the Spotlight
Sunday, 15 February, 2026
Downtown Tucson is shaking things up—and this episode is proof that the rising tide truly raises all ships. 🌊 This week on Life Along the Streetcar, host Tom Heath sits down with two of Tucson’s influential hospitality entrepreneurs: Billy Elliott of Elliott’s on Congress and Brendan Scott of John Henry’s and the recently renamed Dean’s Public House, to talk about their exciting new venture—Stage Left, the reimagined music-themed bar next to the Rialto Theatre. From jalapeño vodka ritas and house-infused spirits to container concepts like the Boxyard and redevelopment projects across Fourth Avenue and Congress Street, this conversation dives deep into what makes Tucson’s urban core thrive. These “libation leaders” share how collaboration—not competition—is fueling the next wave of energy along the streetcar line. You’ll hear: The story behind Elliott’s legendary infused vodkas (20+ flavors and counting!) How Stage Left is transforming the former Good Oak Bar space Why community-driven bar crawls and a potential “Streetcar Cocktail” could unite downtown The power of partnership in revitalizing Tucson’s entertainment district A sneak peek at what’s coming next for this dynamic trio If you love Tucson’s food, drink, and cultural scene, this episode will leave you thirsty for more. 🎧 Catch all episodes at https://lifealongthestreetcar.org 📱 Follow us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/LifeAlongTheStreetcar 🎶 Stream on SoundCloud: https://soundcloud.com/lifealongthestreetcar Stay curious, Tucson. 🌵
