Gatsby's (later Great Gatsby's) was a bar and nightclub at 2226 Morris Avenue, which booked lots of jazz groups, like the Ray Reach Trio, as well as pop bands like Crosswinds.

The club was owned by Willie Vines, and later by Wayne Hammond. Gene Hollis managed the business. It promoted a $5 "Thursday night beer bust" with free draft beer refills between 8 and 10 PM.

After Gatsby's closed the location continued to operate as 1776, and later as On the Avenue.
