Downtown San Jose Nightclubs: What Happened? | Classic Series

A bunch of us military guys went up to Toons one night in '94 or 95. Epic.

I really enjoyed this. This was my clubbing era.

[@RelicsofRetail]

I’m glad to hear you enjoyed it!

The fact that we use to dress up for the clubs is insane to me. Seems like such a relic of the past now

[@RelicsofRetail]

It was definitely a different era. We followed the club promo mantra “dress to impress.” And many clubs wouldn’t let you in unless you had a collared shirt and dress shoes.

What happened to the old Blue Light Dance Club & Bar in San Jose, Ca ? They played oldies music from the 50s & 60s back in the 1980s

Great video man. I would go clubbing Thursday - Saturday from 2003 to 2011. Met my wife at the Agenda lounge.

[@RelicsofRetail]

Thank you! I love that you met your wife at Agenda. Awesome!

The Cactus Club started way before 1988, fyi...
