About Blank Club
The Blank Club was a small, standing-room indie/underground venue in downtown San Jose, known for its dark, intimate vibe and a history of hosting notable acts like Passion Pit, X, Gogol Bordello, and The Damned. Located at 44 S Almaden Ave, the venue played a key role in the local music scene before closing in January 2015 and the space being repurposed for modern nightlife. Today, the address hosts Selva, a tequila-forward bar/venue, along with other brands such as Spectrum (SoFA) and LVL 44. This page covers the venue’s legacy, how the space was used, and practical details for visitors and fans exploring the site today.
Even though Blank Club no longer operates as a standalone venue, the address remains a lively nightlife hub in downtown San Jose. If you’re planning a night out, you can expect nearby transit options including a short walk from Caltrain’s San Jose Diridon Station. Parking in the area is available in downtown structures and street parking, with careful attention to posted restrictions. For visitors traveling from out of town, consider staying near the Hilton San Jose for convenient access to the core of downtown nightlife. After-hours options continue with current tenants at 44 S Almaden Ave, such as Selva, along with other venues like LVL 44 and Club Satori contributing to the ongoing vibe of this downtown address. Secure your seats or entry through trusted outlets, and enjoy the enduring spirit of San Jose’s indie and nightlife scene.
