Nirvana, many others, played this small Philly bar.
J.C. Dobbs was here from 1975 to 1996. (It then became the Pontiac Grille, and now it is The Legendary Dobbs.) As J. C. Dobbs, this small bar hosted Nirvana (2x), Pearl Jam, Green Day, Bo Diddley, Smashing Pumpkins, Soul Asylum, Offspring, Oasis, Steve Earle, Ben Vaughn Combo and George Thorogood. At various times, Philly legend Kenn Kweder would either perform here or bartend here.
