This local bar has a long and storied history and remains a popular watering hole for the LGTBQ community. It's decor is eclectic but fun and is a throwback to how bars looked in the 70's and 80's. But the reason that it's relevant is operating staff. The bartenders are professional and personable, and they know their craft. The atmosphere is always inviting to people of all stripes. If you're in town, make sure you stop in to this enduring landmark!

One of my favorite bars to go to. Drink prices are low and the mixed drinks are strong. They have a few video games and darts and a pool table. The outside patio is quite large and everyone is friendly there. I always have a great time when I go.

How refreshing to be greeted as new to the club. The bartender made us feel right at home. The club it self is in a neighborhood. It has such a friendly feel. My husband and I were taken by it. Planning many more visits. Tucson our new home is a very special place. A great bar and city.

Passing through town and the lady bar tender and owner were just lovely people and made me feel very welcomed. Can’t wait to return on my next trip to Tucson. Top people and top bar!
