From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Huey Lewis and the News at the 2AM Club

The 2 AM Club is a popular bar in Mill Valley, California. It is known as being the location of the cover photo of the Huey Lewis and the News' album Sports. Known locally as "The Deuce", it is a popular watering hole. [1]

Formerly known as "The Brown Jug", which was opened by Bill Brown there on the corner of Miller and Montford. Prohibition caused its closure in 1921. It reopened in 1933 with the same name, but became the 2 A.M. Club in about 1940.

The famous "toilet seat" guitar created by Charlie Deal still hangs behind the bar.

The night before Thanksgiving is commonly known by locals as "Black Wednesday", when hordes of Tamalpais High School alums descend upon the bar to reconnect during the Thanksgiving holiday.

It's a great bar for those looking for a mellow, inexpensive night.
