Croce's - San Diego, CA

With hopes of keeping Jim's music alive and of building a tribute to his life and music, I was called by a friend who told me she knew of an open store front for rent in the dilapidated Gaslamp district. When I went to look at the space, I realized it was located on the same corner where Jim and I had stopped a dozen years before. It felt like an omen. Building a restaurant and bar there would be the perfect tribute to Jim and a wonderful opportunity to help revitalize downtown San Diego.

It is here at Croce's Restaurant & Jazz Bar that we continue to pay tribute to Jim Croce and his music by serving delicious contemporary American cuisine and offering live music nightly to friends and visitors from around the world. This is my way of sharing the memory of Jim's warmth and hospitality. Ingrid Croce (from http://www.croces.com)
