Club Deluxe is a live music venue located on the famous corner of Haight and Ashbury in San Francisco. The bar, designed in 1949 and owned by Jay Johnson in 1989, was the nesting ground for the swing revival of the 1990s. Today, Club Deluxe hosts a wide array of jazz and blues bands, as well as monthly burlesque and comedy shows.
The atmosphere at Club Deluxe is reminiscent of an old time New York City jazz house. Red lights glow, the sounds of jazz and people talking waft through the air, and most of the patrons are decked out in their best vintage clothing.
These fascinating black and white photos were taken by Dave Glass that show bar scenes at the Club Deluxe, 1511 Haight Street, San Francisco in the early 1990s.
