Quote:Palo Alto’s largest and oldest sports bar, the Old Pro, is returning to downtown under new ownership.
Guillaume Bienaime, the owner of BarZola, says he has assembled an investment group and signed a lease for the location at 541 Ramona St., where the sports bar operated for 20 years before closing last summer.
“Our intention is to honor and reinvigorate the Old Pro,” Bienaime said in a phone interview yesterday.
The bar doesn’t have a timeline for opening, but Bienaime said he is aiming to be ready within a year. He still has to get permits from the city and do a full remodel, he said.
One side of the restaurant will be turned into more of a restaurant space, serving bar food that is homemade along with dry-aged steaks.

The decor will be typical of a sports bar. But the mechanical bull will be replaced by a wine cellar, Bienaime said.
