Maxwell's. 
Maxwell's to close amid 'changing nature of Hoboken'
For decades, it’s been the place to go for music in Hudson County. Nirvana played there; Yo La Tengo celebrated Chanukah there annually; Bruce Springsteen shot his "Glory Days" video there. Music lovers hung by the jukebox, ate burgers and pasta under its tin ceiling, and crowded into a back room that felt to many like hallowed ground.
It’s the neighborhood bar and grill with world-renowned bands, and one of the Mile Square City’s claims to fame — a club so intimately associated with the Hoboken rock scene it’s virtually synonymous with it.
Hoboken is going to need another synonym. Maxwell’s is closing its doors at the end of July.
Its lease is up then. But contrary to rumors, the 200-capacity club is not getting ousted by its landlord.
