Croce's Park West Closing Doors On Banker's Hill

Ingrid Croce and husband Jimmy Rock announced today the closure of their Banker’s Hill restaurant and live music venue, Croce’s Park West.

The widow of the late singer Jim Croce said in a blog post that live music “isn’t the draw that we hoped and needed it to be.’’ (Read post here.)

Her original restaurant, Croce’s Restaurant & Jazz Bar, shut down at the end of 2013 after 30 years because she was unable to resolve a dispute with the building’s owner over noise and vibrations from a next-door nightclub.
The restaurant was the culmination of a goal she and Jim Croce had shared, she said. The restaurant on Fifth Avenue was a catalyst of the Gaslamp Quarter’s development into a popular nightspot.

They opened Croce’s Park West several weeks later.
