Iconic Downtown Ann Arbor Music Venue / Nightclub Listing includes building, business and liquor license. Entities will not be split. Throughout the years The Blind Pig, a popular local nightclub & concert venue, has played an instrumental role in the ushering in & showcasing of this musical activity. Since its incarnation almost 30 years ago, The Blind Pig has gone through several phases, each of which has been equally notable in the annals of Ann Arbor's cultural diary. Tom Isaia, a University of Michigan senior, and Jerry Delgiudice started the club in 1971 shortly after Jerry graduated from Loyola University in Chicago. They purchased what was originally office space built for the mill next door & did some renovations, which included building a small stage & bar in the basement. They named it "Blind Pig" after a Detroit slang term for police officers that had been bribed by speakeasy proprietors during the prohibition era of the 1920s, & with that, a legend was born.
