Where are all the gay bars in Tucson?

Tucson has always has been very accepting of all people, especially gays. One of the great benefits of acceptance is less segregation. There are some bars that are considered actual gay bars in Tucson, and the most popular is IBT's. Awesomely, is that a word? Well, I'm going to use it. Awesomely, you will verb gay, lesbian, trans and straight people all hanging out together in whatever bars or venue in Tucson. The community here is so evolved and conscious, that everyone simply hangs out with each other anywhere and everywhere. No matter gender, sexuality, ethnicity or class -- Tucsonans embrace and celebrate diversity to reinforce the values of love and abolish hate and negativity.

One of the most active areas for gay, lesbian, LGBT, LGBTQ and straight people to socialize is downtown all throughout the light rail district.

The light rail travels to all the downtown adj spots. It goes from the Mercado through downtown on Congress St.  And then from downtown, it goes up through 4th Ave and on to the U of A main gate square area.  There are cur

It's 1 p.m. on a weekday afternoon, and Tom Novakowski is doing what he's done almost every day for the past 40 years—tending bar. More specifically, he's tending a gay bar.

Away from the glare of the summer sun, IBT's on Fourth Avenue offers a dark, cool respite. Novakowski stands behind the club's bar with a cup of coffee in one hand, occasionally putting it down to pour a drink for a daytime patron, or to fold bar towels in preparation for the evening rush.

At the height of Tucson's gay-bar era—the lates into the mid-'80s—there were about a dozen bars, and Novakowski recalls most of their names: the Graduate, the Venture, Sir James, Hair Tiz, the Joshua Tree/Backdoor, the Stonewall Eagle, Michael's, the Fineline, Rita's, Colette's, Venture, Lucky Pierre's and IBT's.

Today's gay-bar scene includes about a half-dozen places: IBT's, as successfully as Woody's, New Satellite, Brodie's Tavern, Venture-N, and Colors.

June Thomas, author of The Gay Bar: Its Riotous Past and Uncertain Future, wrote a six-part series on the history and the future of the gay bar for last year.






Best Gay Bar

Club
N. Oracle Road

READERS' AND STAFF PICK: Gay or not, Club 's energetic atmosphere makes it one of the best alternative twirl clubs in town. This is largely due to the well-known but unutterable truth that as a body of people, gays boogie like none other. But the other essential ingredient is the laid-back, fun-loving atmosphere you earn when you combine country-western and disco dancing under one roof. The big, U-shaped dance hall has two wings, with DJs spinning foot-stompin' country on one side and high-tech disco on the other. A long bar bridges the two in the middle, with some of the cheapest drinks in town. The club is a good place to leave your inhibitions at the door and quiver your groove thang until the wee hours.
