The Black Hawk was a legendary San Francisco nightclub hosting a spectacular range of jazz talents during its heyday in the 1950s and 1960s. Miles Davis, Thelonious Monk, The Dave Brubeck Quartet, Cal Tjader, Shelly Manne and many more jazz luminaries played and recorded live albums there.[citation needed]
The Black Hawk was located on the corner of Turk Street and Hyde Street in San Francisco's Tenderloin District. In May of 2004, a new building was constructed on the Black Hawk's old location, and is now the 222 Club.
