NIGHTLIFE

As a gay person one of the cool things about Tucson is you can pretty much go anywhere and not be hassled. This is especially true in the downtown 4th Avenue/Congress Street area. Although small compared to other cities of similar size, promoters doing events at different venues are slowly bringing Tucson's queer nightlife scene back to life after seeing half a dozen gay bars close in the past decade.
