Congress is much more bar-heavy with many more choices than Fourth. East of Sixth: The Congress: The first is Club Congress. It's the standard in Tucson. The club itself typically has bands play almost every night, except Monday, which is 80's night, and the coolest time to go. It's a good venue though, and usually gets some of the better bands rolling through town. The Tap Room inside the club (you're required to pay the cover) offers all of the beer, and provides an escape from the music, if you need it. It's small, but there are booths and even a lonely TV playing sports. The lobby bar is the coolest bar ever, although there are no beers on tap. The lobby of the Hotel Congress is meant to look, and succeeds in looking, very noir. The ambiance is enough to keep you here though. Smoking after 9pm. The District: Old-school Tucsonans will remember this as Seven Black Cats. It's been re-done and now serves $1 PBR cans every night. Pool tables, wood floors, a stage but no music, The District is one of those no-money bars. Shark's: Shark's has live music on Wednesdays, a tejano night on the weekends, and is typically much more frat and more of a meat market than anything else on Congress. Very cool stage though. Iguana Cafe: This is the closest to a dive you'll get on Congress. Not really that much of a cafe, it even has a small jazz band playing sometimes.
Shark's occassionally has a flimsy dress code, but isn't really busy/popular enough to be too demanding. Leave a Comment Theme: NightclubDirections: Congress, Broadway and Pennington have all been re-striped recently to allot for more parking. Most of the Downtown lots that say "Pay Parking" can be used for free after 6pm also.

 Lobby decoration by mht_in_la As I mentioned in my hotel tips, Hotel Congress is more of a restaurant/club than a hotel. I was less than satisfactory with it as a hotel. But as a night club (Club Congress) it's possibly one of the most popular in town. In the evening there's always music -- live music, DJ music, or other events. Right across the street from Hotel Congress is another night club (don't know the name) whose music is mostly hip-hop and the crowd much younger. Leave a Comment Theme: Nightclub

 CONGRES STREET by matcrazy1 There are at least a few clubs, restaurants, pubs on both sides of Congres Street. It's a main street of Tucson downtown. I was looking a place to dring a coffee and rest for a moment there. I finally found a nice looking place but... it was a club and they wanted me to pay $5 fee for entry. Maybe next time...
Casual dress usually accepted in clubs: I mean jeans, T-shirt and trainers. Leave a Comment Theme: People Watching

 TUCSON SKYLINE AT NIGHT - CAN YOU SEE IT? by matcrazy1 I was walking around Tucson downtown after sunset and I survived as you can see. It's safe area, I suppose, more: I am sure :-). I tried to take pictures of night skyline but... I didn't have a tripod :-(((. So my pictures were... look yourself at digitally corrected one.
Casual dress = T-shirt + jeans or shorts + trainers for example. No nudity accepted :-). Leave a Comment Theme: OtherDirections: 2430 miles (3910 km) southwest of New York City :-)

West of Sixth Avenue: Vaudeville: No theater is performed, but it is a fairly cool bar. Tables, chairs and pool tables are all crowded in front of medium-sized stage against a short bar. Live music most nights, usually with a cover under $5. This is where the pretentious indie crowd heads on every night but Monday. The Red Room: During the day, this is the smoking area of The Grill. Although the bar is open, it's not really called The Red Room until about 9pm when the people start wandering in and smoking becomes permitted throughout. Delicious and obscure beer selection, piano, photo booth (the only one Downtown), great decor and the occassional live band. Asylum: I don't like dance clubs, but I like Asylum. Nights at the Asyum are more like family events than bar nights. People seem to all know each other here. There is dancing, good, cheap beer and often some very good music spun. Very cool ambiance too. Thursday is the Indie/Britpop night. Friday is Goth. Here, women can dance alone without even thinking of being bothered. Heart V: Sort of an Asylum rival, but with a less loyal crowd, Heart V is also a little more of a pick-up bar. Live music on Wednesdays for $3. Happy hour and food on some weeknights.
