Fascinating Photos of Club Deluxe, San Francisco in the early 1990s by Dave Glass

San Francisco’s Club Deluxe is a live music venue located on the legendary corner of Haight and Ashbury. The bar was opened in 1949. It was the nesting ground for the swing revival of the 1990s.

Club Deluxe has an old-time New York City jazz house atmosphere. Red lights glimmer, the sounds of jazz and people talking fill the air, and most patrons are dressed in their best vintage clothes. The Club Deluxe hosts a variety of jazz and blues bands and monthly burlesque and comedy shows.
