The Old Pro and Andrew Luck - 82lsju - 08-20-2024
Quote:Former Indianapolis Colts and Stanford Cardinal quarterback Andrew Luck is investing in the revitalization of The Old Pro, a Palo Alto sports bar that was open from 1964 to 2022. Luck said mutual friends connected him with Guillaume Bienaimé, the chef-owner of Zola and BarZola who is spearheading reopening The Old Pro as The Pro.

Ha! Surely he waited until he was of legal age, right?
"While he doesn’t remember his first time stepping into The Old Pro, his earliest memory there is of drinking beer with his father a month or two after turning 21."
Good for him and his wife reinvesting in something from their time on the Farm, though. T'was the Goose and the O for me. . ..

As a Palo Alto resident and a big time Andrew Luck fan, this story warms the cockels of my heart. Truly.
Quote:"Food, people sitting around a table, eating together, drinking together, sharing stories, laughing … with friends, with family, with new people, with old people, meeting folks … I’m excited that The Pro can help provide some of that atmosphere again for our neighborhood,” Luck said.

This is good news. I hope the atmosphere has a bit of the tone (though not the scent) of the old Old Pro on El Camino. I find it hard to describe the one on Ramona as a "dive bar".
RE: The Old Pro and Andrew Luck - cctop - 08-21-2024
I went to the Old Pro only once when it was on El Camino. I was relatively young and the cranky old guys made me feel unwelcome.
Now that I too am a cranky old guy I might like the atmosphere more, but if you gave me the choice I'd rather resurrect Antonio's Nuthouse.
