The building in downtown Tucson that once housed famous restaurateur Janos Wilder will open its doors this summer, this time as a southern-style bar and grill.

The owners of Parish Restaurant Concepts rented the former Downtown Kitchen + Cocktails space at 135 S. Sixth Avenue to open the delta they describe as “libation and culinary thrills”.

Owners Steve Dunn, Bryce Zeagler and Chef Travis Peters also run The Parish, 6453 N. Oracle Road, and said The Delta would be his “rebellious punk rock cousin.”

“While the dishes are being created we bring in some classic, familiar influences from The Parish, but The Delta will have its own personality and flair, filled with plenty of culinary surprises such as seafood meatballs, a whiskey bone marrow luge and Sonora -Elote, “said Peters.

The food includes cuisines from Arizona, Texas, and Louisiana, reflecting the trio’s roots.

“Ultimately, we really want a meeting place in the neighborhood that is fun, relaxed and comfortable,” said Zeagler.

Dunn said the bar offerings will be both classic and playful.

“We also want to leave room for those who dare to dive into an absinthe or agave rabbit hole,” he said.

The building’s owner, local contractor Ross Rulney, plans to add outdoor dining to the property for The Delta customers.
