The aptly named Plush caused a buzz within the
Tucson Underground when it opened, exceeding expectations for a
new venue. It has continued to draw strong attendance for the best
in local and national acts. Opulent color, sofa clusters and 1960s
casbah details create a pervasive sense of warmth. The main stage
is irresistible with its starry backdrop; the front room provides
an intimate setting for quieter nights. Maybelle and crew have given
the serious music scene a worthy outpost on Fourth Avenue.
Club denizens 411:
Cover is usually around $4. Getting there early guarantees
a great seat in the main room. Band hangout is stage right. Kini
is tending bar in both the front and main rooms, and you'll see
other people you know. Plush is a refuge from the college-kid Fourth
Avenue scene, and we haven't seen any nonsense there.
DRINKS AND MUSIC
Full bars in main and front rooms. Generally speaking,
Plush books worthy bands from Lovemound to the Zsa
Zsas to Bob Log III,
and is host to touring artists such as Daniel Lanois.
UNIQUE FEATURES
Check out the Rat Pack-era lamps and sofas in the
front room. A billiards room separates the two bar areas; an electronic
fireplace of sorts with two facing armchairs (on your right as you
enter the billiards room) is a favored private spot.
