The Old Pro was a fixture of the Palo Alto community for
decades. While there have been several locations over the
years since its inception in 1964, we are proud to revitalize
this legendary establishment in its most recent and
triumphant location.
It doesn’t matter whether you’re rooting for the home or visiting team because great food is something we can all cheer for. The Pro is the reimagined world-class sports tavern where die-hards and fair-weather fans alike gather for inspired cuisine, craft cocktails and great conversations.
While being known as the place to grab a great burger and brew, we will elevate the game by authentically weaving in sophisticated American fare and craft cocktails — all with approachable Silicon Valley attitude.
