Maxwell’s, the Hoboken corner restaurant and rock club with an international reputation, is closing its doors at the end of July after 35 years. The lease to Maxwell’s, which has been at the heart of the rock scene in Hudson County for decades, is up at the end of July. But the decision to close the club at 1039 Washington St. isn’t the landlord’s.

“We were offered a renewal with rates that weren’t necessarily onerous,” says Todd Abramson, the club’s booking agent and co-owner. “But after much thought, given the changing nature of Hoboken and the difficulties of trying to run a business in this town, we decided it was time.”

The club opened in August 1978. To read more about the closure, visit NJ.com.
