I grew up going to this sports bar as my father worked with Ricky as security and facilities. Ricky and his wife Tina always treated us like family. One of my favorite places to go and watch UFC fights with family and friends. Ricky was an amazing man, apart from being a legend in the East Bay. He will be greatly missed.
