Venture-N

Had to rewrite my review for this Tucson bar that is one of my favorites.  Not for twinks, unless you can hang out with people older than 40.  Not for people who think "leather" means that everyone is walking around like a Tom of Finland etching -- it's more like Levi and leather friendly.  Great patio, and in the long time I have been a patron, I have always found the bartenders to be helpful and considerate.  I have never witnessed coercion on the part of patrons, and the bar-staff has always kicked out people who are not respectful of others (yes I've seen them kick out the people that were disrespectful of others).

I concur with Matt H.  We just moved here 10 months ago.  At the same time, in all fairness to Venture-N, there isn't a gay bar in Tucson that I'd recommend.  Gay life as a married gay couple trying to hang with other gays, is absolutely nihl in Tucson.  The city's gay scene sucks.  We couldn't decide whether to laugh or cry when we attended 2012 Tucson Gay Pride.  Instead, we just got drunk out of despair.  Haven't tried Phoenix yet.  Tucson is about 20 years behind rest of nation.  Just look at the friggin roads here.  And I grew up in a small, backwards town with 4 stop lights.  But shame on Tucson leaders - ministers, politicians, university and churches -- for their overall backwardness and apathy, for their not diligently promoting dignity for all. Can't believe people choose to live in Tucson.  As soon as can find a job outa here gonna move!

A very horrible place if you want to be respected and have good service. It has to be one of the most terrible establishments in Tucson. I hear people get 86'd for not wearing the right clothes and or not being part of the "in" crowd.....whatever that is. I wouldn't recommend this bar at all. Go elsewhere you will really enjoy the other gay locations in Tucson.
