Java Joe's (Permanently Closed)
3536 Adams Avenue, San Diego, CA 92116
Java Joe’s began in Poway in 1991, moving to Ocean Beach in 1994 (where it reopened at a different location in 2000, hosting Jason Mraz for two live album recordings). The acoustic music mecca has also been based in Hillcrest, Mission Valley, at Sunset Temple in North Park, in the Ideal Hotel downtown, and there was a shortlived Java Joe's Pub on El Cajon Boulevard circa 2004-2005 (previously Kelly's Pub, later the State House). In 2016, Java Joe's moved to 2611 Congress Street, in a historic Old Town building. In 2018, it was renamed the Backdrop, under a new co-operator.
