The bar was opened by Bill Brown on the corner of Miller and Montford, and was called
The Brown Jug. It was officially renamed as the 2 A.M. Club in 1940. In 1983, the bar was the location for the cover photo of the
Huey Lewis and the News' album
Sports; Lewis himself attended school in Mill Valley. A
toilet seat guitar created by Charlie Deal hangs behind the bar. The guitar is one of the many items visible in the photographs used for the
Sports album. The band
2AM Club named themselves after the bar. ==References==
