Harlow's

The doors at 2708 J Street opened as Harlow’s 40 years ago and became a hotspot in Sacramento almost immediately. Starting as a cafe, Harlow’s grew into a restaurant and eventually began hosting live music. It was when musicians and artists were brought to the venue that Harlow’s found its soul – this place was always meant to be alive with the energy that only live music can bring.

Ever since, Harlow’s has been a mainstay in Sacramento’s music community, having hosted national acts like Phoebe Bridgers, Big Freedia, PUP, Chris Robinson, Mazzy Star, Jack Harlow, The Brian Jonestown Massacre, Mya, and so many more. That same stage has been a stepping stone for many local musicians as they advance and rise in their careers. Hobo Johnson & the Lovemakers, Dog Party, and Tycho are just a few of the Sacramento natives who performed at Harlow’s early in their careers.

Whether you’re here to check out an old favorite or you’re discovering someone new, you know that it’s going to be something special. This is a building that has put its heart and soul into the community and the community has returned that love from its passionate showgoers and staff to its beloved artists. You’ll know exactly what we mean next time you’re here.
