‘Charley’s is gonna go into history’: Last call at Los Gatos nightclub & bar after 50 years

Mini disco balls dangle from a giant chandelier over people dancing energetically to a cover band’s live performance of Bruno Mars’ “Uptown Funk ” — but not much longer, as a legendary Los Gatos club shuts its doors after more than five decades.

Charley’s Los Gatos Bar & Nightclub, a beloved local spot known for its live music and dive bar feel, will close its doors in the first few days of June. An undisclosed tenant bought out the nightclub from owner Alex Hult and his partners and will move into the tucked-away space that sits above shops on North Santa Cruz Avenue.
