A night club is under scrutiny from the liquor board, Tucson Police and neighbors. Now you can add Davis-Monthan Air Force Base to the list.
'Club Z', formerly 'Club Envy', is now off-limits to DMAFB personnel; a rare measure taken by Air Force commanders.
An order was given to all Davis Monthan Air Force personnel at the beginning of the month. "We just felt it may be an unsafe environment there," explains Col. Hal Hoxie.
The night club is now closed, but it's been the subject of numerous complaints, from underage drinking to larceny.
An incident that made headlines last November led the military to take action. Three soldiers and another man had a fight inside the bar. It later led to a shooting where one of the soldiers was killed and another injured.
The military has made attempts to meet with the owner of the club, Larry Chanenson. They want to discuss what he plans to do with the club now. But he's yet to meet with them.
Chanenson did agree to talk to News 4. He says, "The military hasn't asked to meet with me." He also says he's getting a raw deal. "I was blamed for a shooting that took place two blocks away, two hours after they left the club."

Why?
I recall “The Sin Of Cortez”, outside Sierra Vista, all those years ago. The most happening night club near the post. What a shame...
Now the Sin of Cortez is a Goat-Ropper CW joint.
O NOES!
The name is now “Dillon’s” and no more of that semi-open “Itewon Fish Alley Sinnin” either.

If a nightclub tends to be a factor in infractions and the rise of Disciplinary problems within the ranks of a installation.. then the Installation Commander has the option of placing that establishment off-limits to personnel.
This occurs from time to time at a great many bases and Apparently, DM has reached its limit with this particular club.
