Brief Intro to Club Congress Tucson AZ: Lightening Your Nightlife
When Hotel Congress was opened up in 1919 in Tucson, AZ, little did anyone know that this place was going to be a landmark in the near future. In 1934, Hotel Congress became famous as the place where the Dillinger crew, the notorious bank robbers were caught and today it is famous for Club Congress, one of the best rock clubs in the USA.
Club Congress was opened in 1985 and was originally used for once weekly music shows for the downtown community of Tucson. But soon, the craze caught on to such an extent that not only common Amazonian folks but also celebrities began to flock here and Club Congress became a regular venue for the touring bands about to perform in Tucson.
Club Congress has four different lounges and rooms. First is the Tap Room, one of the favorite cowboy bars since 1919. Then there is Cybar adjacent to the dance floor. It was once used as a cyber cafe which can be guessed from the name itself. Then, the main bar with its special feature: a 100 year old bar top known as The Talk of The Town so called for its wonderful wooden columns and its length. And finally there is the Hotel Lobby Bar featuring over 150 types of spirits and an exquisite cocktail menu.
Labor Day Weekend in Tucson is regarded as Club Congress Weekend and during this; the club holds a three day and three night live music event called the HOCOfest which surely is a treat for the soul. In 2008, more than 40 bands performed in this festival.
