After 25 years of operation, one of Pittsburgh’s most recognizable music venues is closing. The South Side of the city’s Club Cafe has said it will close at the end of the year.

In 1999, Marco and Paula Cardamone established Club Cafe, which soon rose to prominence as one of the city’s most well-liked concert venues.

Michael Sanders purchased the club in 2011, however he is now concentrating on other business endeavors.

“It’s been an incredible run, and it felt like the perfect time to move on to other endeavors,” Michael Sanders stated in a release. “We get to celebrate a quarter-century of incredible music and leave on the best possible note. We’ve worked hard to deliver an extraordinary experience to the neighborhood, the Pittsburgh music community, and all of the artists who have graced the Club Cafe stage. I’m grateful for the thousands of concerts our team hosted and produced, the memorable nights on the South Side, and 25 amazing years at Club Cafe.”

Club Cafe has played host to several well-known performers over the last 25 years, such as John Mayer, Tori Amos, and Norah Jones. Closing plans and specific plans for the last several months of the club are still pending.

According to Sanders, there are still several concerts scheduled for the remainder of the year, and there will be plenty of time for a fitting farewell and chances for the community to celebrate one final time.
