Located on Highway 237, and originally in Alviso, the address was later redistricted as part of San Jose. Owned and managed by Richard (Dick) Belluci in the 1970s and 1980s. It was described as attracting a working class clientele. In 1980, the club was licensed for six tables, which was reduced to five tables sometime before it closed in 1993. The club was torn down that year to make room for an overpass on Highway 237. Also called "Sutter's Club" and "Sutter's Place" (see "Archive").
