From where the PowerHouse Pub now beams the best foot-stomping rock blues and popular live music was once upon a time a livery stable, a car dealership, and who can remember what else! What no one around here seems to forget though is that, since 1976, the rustic, funky, one-of-a-kind music venue has been home to a who’s who list of blues & rock artists and thousands of adoring fans over the last quarter of a century.

Originally opened in 1976 as a mama’s biker bar, the unique hangout was later renovated with a sound system, upstairs balcony, and outside porch to claim its destiny as an informal but top notch blues club. Then, in 1999, new ownership completely gutted the dilapidated old club and created the fun and friendly whacked-out atmosphere that, along with an enlarged first-rate music calendar, keeps the crowds coming in droves.

The PowerHouse Pub also features 15 TVs and digital big screens with satellite feeds for all your favorite sporting events.

So whether your forte is fine live music, sports, or just chilling on the Garden Deck enjoying views of Historic Sutter Street and the American River Parkway, head out to PowerHouse Pub, the place for fun when dinner is done!
