Lou’s Village - New Venue!

Lou’s Village has a storied history in San Jose that makes it the perfect partner for San Jose Jazz. Opened in 1946 by Lou Santoro (grandfather of present owners Tom & Tim Muller), Lou’s was “the” spot for dining, dancing and banquets for decades. The original location, with its whimsical nautical décor, was a premier spot for live music featuring local and touring acts like The Ink Spots, The King Sisters, Abbey Lincoln, Mimi Hines, “Scat Man” Crothers and Lucille Ball. Lou’s finally closed in 2005, but was reborn in October 2012 in the new Willow Glen Town Center--in a spectacular space featuring many historic artifacts from the original Lou’s. At Lou’s Village, the food is a star, with original recipes (the clams are divine) alongside innovative new dishes. There is also a full bar. If you’re planning on dining at Lou’s before or during the show, reservations are recommended.

Parking
There is free parking available in the Willow Glen Town Center Garage. If the garage full, there is ample free street parking and free parking behind the buildings across Lincoln Avenue from the restaurant, between Willow Street and Minnesota Avenue.
