    As a wide-eyed baby dyke working away from home and out-of-state in Tucson, I kind of invited…read moremyself out with the crew after work, quelling their 'not-sure-if-you'll-like-where-we're going' protest with the standard, 'I'm not BLIND -- I know what I'm doing' response. I was very excited to see lesbians and gays In The Wild. I was extremely closeted at home with my first girlfriend, and it was so wild to see gay/straight/bi/et.al. having such a great time in an environment with such a positive vibe. I was initially approached by a really big football player-sized guy asking if I wanted to dance. Just as I began to apologize, one of my new coworkers swept in with her arm around my shoulder pointedly making eye-contact with the man and asking, "Excuse me?" Of course, he began making *his* apologies as he backed away with both hands in the air. All of us laughed. And I was so relieved. And the rest of the night I had a crush on my rescuer. lol. Everybody was dancing. All together. College preppies, head-bangers, punks, new wave kids, black, white, men, women, drag queens, young and old, and everything in between and out of bounds. Back in the 80's. When every kind of person was there. I loved that there were separate spaces for men and women in their own bars off the main dance floor. I loved that everyone danced. I loved that there was rolling signage on the DJ booth speaking to the club's ideology of accepting everyone and harassing no one. I felt safe. For the first time in my very young adult life, I could breathe. I could see the light cracking on the horizon, promising a new day. I had never met a gay person who also wasn't also hiding like me. I met people -for the first time- who were really happy. And not *despite* being gay, because they actually celebrated being gay. Nobody had told me it was going to get better, and yet here I was. Being given permission to be happy as a lesbian was the greatest gift I was given during my time in Tucson and at the Fine Line. A big thank you to the staff at both Tucson locations of Wherehouse Records (circa 1984), particularly the women who showed me how very normal and hilarious and fun I could be while remaining out and visible. Big changes came down when I got home that Fall. Clubs like this need to become the norm in every city and town. A place for everyone and respect for all.

    As a judgmental high school stoner out of touch with myself, this place made disco and being…read moredifferent not just OK, but something to celebrate. I always felt safe here. I felt that I could relax, let down my guard, dance like a dork without getting hassled, just have fun and not see anyone else (a VERY diverse crowd) get hassled. I am so sorry it is gone. Thank you Dick Plowman for creating such a cool place.

    As a first timer at Encore, I was nervous about the accommodations for my scooter. Handicap parking…read morewas right by the door. Once the doors opened and the line began to move, a worker came and pulled us out of line and walked us right in! I was amazed! After getting in, we saw they had an ADA section right by the stage. They brought my wife a chair so she could sit with me. During the shows, people would cut under the rope sectioning off our area and the workers immediately told them to stop. I was checked in with to make sure we were good. At the end, we were escorted out thru the crowd. They are cash only bar and the atm went down briefly but was fixed. I cannot wait to go back

    Staff is amazing they are kind and very attentive and were very good…read more The venue itself feels like an underground cage match. Minimal lights only one smoke machine for a high area. We went for midget wrestling for past few years and this was the first at encore for us. No lights were shined on the stage. Can't even see the stage if you are short (5"1'). It was a pretty bad performance of all the times we went and just very unorganized. Was supposed to start at 7 didn't until after 8. The bathrooms were very gross. It's cash only but there's only one ATM and no where on advertising says cash only. Because they did all ages. Very song was cut off at the best part and just some of the worst performances/ show put together. Plenty of parking and good staff was only highlight. We left during intermission it was that bad.
