About Ricky's
Ricky's has been around since 1946. Like many a famous
establishment, you just need to mention the name. When you tell a
sports fan to meet up at "Ricky's" they know all about it. The insane
amount of TV's, (yes even in the bathroom), the food, the
personalities from local media who stop by, the current and former
players who drop in. It is THE place to see YOUR team.
Raiders
Yes Ricky's is known worldwide as a Raiders fan hangout. It's
true if you are a Raiders fan, you must visit Ricky's. Hey, even Raiders
players stop by. During the dark days of the team not playing in
Oakland, the Raiders fans would gather at Ricky's for every game It is a
real family. The media knows to come to Ricky's. Sometimes they
broadcast from Ricky's or interview patrons on Raiders issues, check

There are so many Ricky's/Raiders stories, ask Ricky for some the next
time you stop by. Here is a good one. Back in 1977 The Oakland Raiders
had won their first Super Bowl defeating the Minnesota Vikings 32 to
14. This was way before the days of the home VCR, but Ricky's had
professional equipment to tape the game. A few weeks after the game, on
a slow weekday afternoon, The Raiders players started to arrive at
Ricky's. Why? They wanted to watch the game! After everyone made it in,
Ricky cued up the tape and the Super Bowl champion Oakland Raiders got
to live it all over again.

Some of the best times I had with my 80
year old dad were at Ricky's!

Fun for the whole family
The atmosphere at Ricky's is always positive and friendly. Kids are
welcome, and have a great time there. When George Karl was the Warriors
coach, he would hang out at Ricky's taking notes on the games and bring
his kids down with him. Coach Karl would use 2 or three tables as his
desk and scout the NBA teams while his kids had a great time.
