Away from the glare of the summer sun, IBT's on Fourth Route offers a dusky, cool respite. Novakowski stands behind the club's bar with a cup of coffee in one hand, occasionally putting it down to pour a imbibe 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 late-1970s 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, Initiative, Lucky Pierre's and IBT's.
Today's gay-bar scene includes about a half-dozen places: IBT's, as well as Woody's, New Rock, Brodie's Tavern, Venture-N, and Colors.

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 operate it. Awesomely, you will detect gay, lesbian, trans and vertical people all hanging out together in whatever bars or venue in Tucson. The community here is so evolved and alert, 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 treasure 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 soft rail travels to all the downtown hot 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 currently over 30 bars and clubs to explore and more and more keep popping it everywhere. It's an excitAn Oscar-winning film made a historic AZ gay bar a punchline — and 'opened a conversation'
Cord Jefferson, a former journalist and veteran TV writer who was born in Tucson, won an Academy Award for best-adapted screenplay earlier this year for his debut movie "American Fiction" (2023), which also earned 4.5/5 stars from The Republic's production critic Bill Goodykoontz.
While it's a fantastic movie, there's one line that struck a nerve with some viewers, particularly those within Tucson's LGBTQ+ community.
About 25 minutes into the film, the main character Thelonious "Monk" (Jeffrey Wright) has a conversation with his brother Cliff (Sterling K. Brown) in which Monk asks, "What's untrue with Tucson?"
Cliff responds, "There's one lgbtq+ bar and it's full of college kids."
It's something of a throwaway line, followed immediately by a joke about said college kids confusing Cliff for Tyler Perry, which is referenced again at the conclusion of the film.
Most viewers probably forgot about the Tucson line by the end of the film. But for those who exist in Tucson and are part of the city's vibrant LGBTQ+ scene, it stuck out because, joke or not, it's simply not true.
