Thanks to a reader for sending word that ownership has changed at the classic steakhouse and bar The Brass Door in San Ramon. According to a hostess there are no plans for changes at the current time but this may change in the future.
From their website:
In 1946 Howard “Shorty” Schlesinger opened the 8/5 club ( his favorite odds at the track) in San Ramon California , population 100. It was a small 6 stool bar and dining facility for 20 guests. He featured steamed beer and fried chicken, and a row of nickel slot machines. He served primarily the local ranchers, cattlemen, and travelers along “Highway 21” on their way to San Jose and beyond.
In 1955 his son Mick and local dairy man Dick Basso took over from Shorty and renamed the restaurant “The Brass Door.” They and the restaurant grew along with the San Ramon Valley. Today after several remodels and one fire, The Brass Door will now accommodate over 200 guests. We feature an eclectic menu serving corn fed Midwestern beef, chicken, fresh seafood, prime ribs, french dips, sensational salads, sandwiches and soups.
Prime rib is our signature dish and is served “all day everyday”. Our prime rib French dip sandwich has always been a guest favorite.
We have an extensive wine list featuring Livermore Valley Napa Valley, and California wines, along with full cocktail lounge.
