Have you and your friends ever wanted to go out to a club where a designated driver was not needed?  Or maybe you’re in the other crowd of college students who are younger than 21, and don’t want to be part of the drinking scene but wish there was something fun to do on a Friday night.

If you meet any of those groups, Kuppajoe is the place to go.  Kuppajoe is an all ages nightclub open Friday nights and some Saturday nights. Also, their cover charge is reasonable ranging from $6 – $12, depending on the bands that are playing that night.

Kuppajoe opened up 12 years ago as a coffee shop by Dave Brown. Since then, they have realized how bands draw a crowd of people. Therefore, they feature bands such as Wavorly, Becoming the Archetype, Confide, A Current Affair, and My Beautiful Surrender. Some are local bands while others are nationally known.  

While no alcohol is served, they do offer soda, hot chocolate, coffee, tea, and energy drinks. All drinks can be purchased for just $1, except the Rockstar drinks that can be purchased at $2. Jesse Kennedy, an employee at Kuppajoe, explains, “There are many reasons why we decided to go non-alcoholic, but one of the main reasons is we want the environment to be safe.

Kennedy adds that he wanted an environment, “safe for anyone to come and have a good time without worrying about intoxicated people causing drama, fights, etc.”

You can find Kuppajoe located on 3673 N. First St. Fresno, CA. 93726, and online at www.kuppajoe.com as well as on Facebook and Twitter. Kennedy said, “Everyone come out and have a great time watching some of the most talented national and local acts. There’s a very good reason why we’re the longest running all ages nightclub in the valley.”
