The Catalyst Club in Santa Cruz, CA, opened in 1966 as the Catalyst Coffee House and Delicatessen in the Old St. George Hotel. It moved to its current location at 1011 Pacific Avenue in 1976.
I moved to the Bay Area in 1973 and settled in Palo Alto in 1978. But I’ve never been down to the Catalyst Club in all those years. We had great music and comedy venues in Silicon Valley.
Found a total of TWELVE occurrences of "Catalyst Club" over the last CENTURY.
Most of those occurrences were for an athletic club (perhaps named after the venue?).
Can't have been that famous or iconic, with fewer than a dozen mentions in the local newspaper over all those decades.
Regards,
I grew up in Bonny Doon and had only been to CC once
