Clara’s Junction – a lively, indoor-outdoor, all-ages food and beverage garden and social gathering hub—is opening in late September in Santa Clara just steps from Levi’s Stadium.
The space features an adaptive reuse of an old Carl’s Jr, opening into an expansive outdoor hang zone with a BBQ pit, taco truck, lawn games like bocce ball and cornhole, as well as ample seating clusters with fire pits and features designed with families, groups of friends, and private events in mind.
The primary menu features a range of shareable options and elevated bar classics alongside an ample beer list, cocktails, wine, and N/A options, and The Pit BBQ and Taz’s Tacos operate in the yard on weekends and game days. Regularly scheduled happenings and rotating specials—sporting event watch parties, happy hour, live music, trivia nights, a rotating local beer selection and seasonal specials—will launch shortly after opening, giving folks even more opportunities to come together at Clara’s, which is both family- and dog-friendly. The convivial new concept is set to anchor an emerging planned community in Santa Clara called the Clara District that has been nearly a decade in the making.
Opening hours are Wednesday, Thursday, and Sunday from 11:30am – 9pm and Fridays and Saturdays from 11:30am – 10pm, with The Pit BBQ and Taz’s Tacos truck operating Friday through Sunday from 12-8pm, and always on game days. The address is 2221 Tasman Drive in Santa Clara, directly across from the Lick Mill VTA light rail stop. Follow along on Instagram @clarasjunction.
