Rate and Write a Review Owned by Ingrid Croce, the widow of legendary folk-music icon Jim Croce, this is San Diego's premier blues and jazz joint. The 20-foot neon movie-house marquee above the bar tells you which gruff, soul-drenched blues artist is performing, which is usually one of the incredible in-house bands. The bar is as basic as the blues riff itself: No pool tables, no darts, no fluff -- just grade-A blues music, mediocre drinks and very serious, 'Pulp Fiction'-type servers. The line usually isn't bad, since San Diegans have seen the acts many times and venture elsewhere. But for conventioneers and visitors who dig a stripped-down warehouse atmosphere and dance-stomp havens, Croce's has unbeatable California blues-house appeal.

Thank You Croce's
So a few weeks back I had family from the Midwest come here to visit me and one night I suggested the Gaslamp area. We came down and I started to recommend different restaurants in the area. As we passed each restaurant, My family would look at the menu and say "Naw we don't do Thai, or Indian or Fish...." I had an idea, I bought them over to Croce's. They looked at the menu and Thankfully declared "YES!" We couldn't have made a better choice. from the start of French Onion soup, through the Salads (They have this one salad, it's wrapped in a seedless cucumber - looks like a jewel box. Didn't know if I should eat it or admire it. I ate it!) They had pasta's Beef , chicken EVEN meatloaf. Service was Very pleasant and it was a great place to people watch. While we were not sitting in the bar area (Where the music was) we were able to enjoy the music and the lively attitude that it created. I am definately going back!
