The Tuxedo Bar and Grill opened Feb. 23

PRESCOTT-The announcement that we have all been waiting for: The Tuxedo Bar & Grill, in Prescott, opened its doors for the first time since December on February 23- just in time for spring farming to begin!

The bar and grill are now open Tuesday-Saturday, 12 p.m.- 8 p.m., with indoor dining at 25% capacity and awesome take-out options.

For pick-up and take-out orders, call The Tux at (509) 849-2244. Food will be picked up at 105 D Street.

Owner Pam Stueckle said she is beyond ecstatic to be back, serving up Jason Burgers, and much more. In November 2020, Stueckle made the hard decision to temporarily close the Tux's doors for the first time since 2005, while she waited for the COVID-19 pandemic to slow down, saying that it wasn't goodbye, just a 'see ya later.'

"It was hard being home," Stueckle said, just before opening on Tuesday, as a crowd of regular customers began to line up at the door. "It was hard being home, knowing my community needed me. But we are back!"

Limited seating means that Taco Wednesday patrons will have to wait just a bit longer.

Stueckle said that they would be having karaoke nights starting in March, with a COVID-19 prevention plan in place that will require singers to wear gloves and switch microphone covers between performers. Face masks will be required when moving about the restaurant, but can be removed when seated.

If you'd like to order ahead and need a menu, or would stay up to date on happenings, be sure to follow the Tux on Facebook!

The Tux's reopening is a welcome sign that normalcy is right around the corner.
