Theme Karaoke Nights & Fish Frys at The Red Fez Cafe & Lounge

We've been having a blast over at The Red Fez Cafe and Lounge with our Theme Karaoke and Fish Fry Nights....this week will be a blast from the past too !!
The first Friday night in July, we did a 1950's theme night - Elvis and Marilyn were there (okay - we had pictures of them on the wall...), Bazooka Joe gum made an appearance on all the tables, poodle skirts, cat eye glasses, and sneakers were spotted on many of our friends.  We be-booped our way through the night, and enjoyed 50's themed "Fonzie" Burgers, "Daddy O's" Malts, "Eve With A Lid On It" Apple Pie Ala Mode...and but of course our great Atlantic Cod Fish Baskets !
 
Last week, it was the 1960's California Girls and Beachboys Theme...fish nets, ski boards, pink flamingos and flip flops were spotted all over the place, and of course our featured special for the night was our "Eric Von Zipper" Fish Fry Basket, along with "Beach Party Bingo" Tuna Salad, and "Annette's & Frankie's" Pineapple Upside Down Cake.

This Friday (July 15th), we are going Woodstock Crazy...it's all about being there or being square, and our specials that night will be "Alice's Kitchen" Sloppy Joes with Onion Rings, "The Man's" Swedish Meatballs with Mashed Potatoes and Green Bean Casserole, and our awesome "Far Out" Chocolate Fondue River...Make sure to get your tie dyed shirt on, and you'll be eligible for discounts on our groovy food !!

Next week...it's going be a Party Hardy night with a trip back to the 80's...Our gnarly menu for this night will be a "Totally Cool" Taco Salad, a "Phat" Pizza with Ham & Pineapple, and our "Radical" Strawberry Shortcake....Hairbands of the world unite - and stop on over to The Red Fez Cafe & Lounge, 450 S. Tucson Blvd.

Last but not least, on July 29th, we're doing a "Christmas In July" theme night...Hopefully, just the thought of this will cool us all down !  Our menu specials will be "Good Tidings" Hot Turkey sandwiches with Mashed Potatoes and Cranberry Sauce, "Baby It's Warm Outside" Christmas Salad with Ham and Cranberry Vinagrette, and "Deck The Halls" Pumpkin Pie with Whipped Cream...Santa may just show up if you've been good girls and boys !

Every Friday night we've been having a blast - so come join us !
We're also taking reservations for Company Karoake Parties (reserved seating and discount menu tickets), and if you're looking for a place to have a birthday party - look no farther !  Parties of 15 or more will receive free Birthday Cake and Ice Cream, but...you must call in advance to reserve your tables (520-690-0146) !

Good Old Fashion Fish Fry...and...Karaoke too...Read all about it !!!

Friday Fish Fry @ Sabbar Shrine Temple


Posted on
June 16, 2011

Sabbar Shrine Temple hosts a brand new family-friendly event you will want to know about. On Friday evenings you can enjoy a community-style fish fry. What’s even nicer is that you’ll have entertainment. Um, that would be entertainment provided by . . . you! After you’ve eaten dinner, they will throw open the stage area for some karaoke. Sing your little hearts out! Everyone is welcome.

The Fried Cod Basket costs $7.95 and comes with french fries and coleslaw. The combo basket of cod & shrimp with french fries and coleslaw runs $8.95, and the shrimp basket with shrimp, french fries and coleslaw is $9.95. Other menu items are available too.

The entire evening is family-friendly, including the karaoke, so pack everyone up and take them all over, ok? You can sing alone or in family groups. Just keep it reasonably clean.


Btw, I just happen to know that the Sabbar Shrine Temple kitchen is under new management, and I also know the wonderful people over at Creative Catering who are now preparing the food there. One thing I can pretty much guarantee . . . your food will be TERRIFIC. How do I know? Well, because I hired Creative Catering two years ago to cater a party at my home, and everyone raved about the food. So I hired them again this year. One more time, the food and presentation were excellent.

I think the Friday Fish Fry is a wonderful way to kick start your weekend. Why not give it a try?

When: Friday evenings, 2011. The fish fry starts at 5:00 PM and the kitchen stays open until 8:30 PM. Karaoke begins at 7:00 PM
