Founded in 1982 by Peter, Barbara, and Danny Torza, Harlow's is named after Hollywood's original starlet Jean Harlow. The building was previously The Hob Nail, a local watering hole. Originally two separate businesses (Harlow's Cafe and Harlow's Bar), the Torzas unified ownership in 1985 and transformed the space into Sacramento's premier live music venue. The grungy, art deco ambience became a midtown hotspot almost immediately. For over 40 years, Harlow's has been the heartbeat of Sacramento's music scene, hosting everyone from Phoebe Bridgers and Jason Isbell to local legends like Hobo Johnson & the Lovemakers, Dog Party, and Tycho. The venue survived the pandemic through community support, merch sales, and the "Harlow's Head Start" program. In 2022, they celebrated 40 years with a mural by Jeremiah Kille (Wide Open Walls collab) and a "Live and Independent" West Coast IPA with Bike Dog Brewing Co. Harlow's is a founding member of NIVA and created the California Capitol Venue Coalition (CCVC) to advocate for Sacramento's independent venues.
