Sweetwater Saloon is a bar and music venue located at 153 Throckmorton Avenue Mill Valley, California, with a 30-year history of live musical performances by the likes of Bonnie Raitt, Elvis Costello, Jerry Garcia, The String Cheese Incident, John Lee Hooker and Carlos Santana. There are typically at least 4 to 5 musical acts booked per week, making it a popular local hangout. Sweetwater Saloon also featured an open mic night on Mondays that occasionally featured surprise performances by well-known artists such as Gregg Allman, Train, and others. Village Music, a nationally recognized independent record store also in Mill Valley, held twice-yearly parties at Sweetwater with well-known musicians who were also Village Music store customers. A documentary film about Village Music, Sweetwater, and the music community in Mill Valley, Village Music: Last of the Great Record Stores was released in 2012. After closing in 2007 it was reopened as Sweetwater Music Hall in 2012 by Bob Weir and his partners a few blocks away from its original location, Jeanie Patterson and her then-husband, Jay, took over the Sweetwater Saloon in 1979. Jeanie Patterson retired as the owner on December 31, 1998, by selling it to Becky and Thomas J. Steere, an Autodesk project director. This original Sweetwater closed in 2007. In January 2012 it was relocated to the Masonic Lodge across from Mill Valley’s City Hall. “For years, Sweetwater was the place many of us local and visiting musicians headed to when we were looking to play for fun, Well, our clubhouse is back and it belongs to all of us.
