Nick Wayne

Nick Wayne is the founder and owner of HighWire Tucson, a prominent bar, nightlife, and community space located in downtown Tucson. HighWire is renowned for its molecular mixology and signature HighWire Pearl Shots. Nick embarked on his entrepreneurial journey in 2010, transitioning from corporate finance to house flipping. Within a span of less than 5 years, his risk-taking paid off, and HighWire became a reality. However, Nick's vision for owning a bar extends beyond cocktails. He takes pride in creating job opportunities, supporting the local community, and implementing green initiatives in the downtown area. HighWire initially started as a cozy cocktail lounge in 2015, but through the years, it has grown into one of the largest and most frequented establishments in downtown Tucson.
