Comments : In Dan DeLucas Philadelphia Inquirer article of 11/8/15, he laments the recent closing of this club, and says that when it was the Pontiac Grille, he caught Dwight Yoakam, Beck, Oasis, Jeff Buckley, Bo Diddley, Whiskeytown, Evan Johns & the H-Bombs, the Chills, and Alex Chilton. He also mentions that in 1983, Robert Hazard filmed the music video for Change Reaction here. He also saw Mike Ireland perform at Pontiac Grille, when he, his friend Luke and British novelist Nick Hornby were three of maybe six people in the room. In 1991, he saw Nirvana here.
