Restaurants with sports memorabilia

[ivo610]

I am curious if any of you guys have been in any restaurants with an impressive sports collection?

I recently was in one in Wi called Rookies that had a ton of signed items but nothing that I saw was game worn.

Willie McCovey's restaurant cleverly named "McCovey's" has hundreds of both bats and jerseys on the wall. Then they alos have cases set up with game worn jerseys and game used bats next to the booths of the star players like Ichiro, Pujols (I believe), etc. Definitely has many museum-quality pieces. Located in Norcal

Also 810 Zone, a sports bar from a local sports radio station, Kansas City Mo and Leawood, Kansas. A lot of the co-owners are former players so they have some actual game used equipment from Royals, Chiefs, KU Jayhawks and KState Wildcats.

Don and Charlie's, and the shuttered Pink Pony, which may reopen, in Scottsdale, AZ. Also, Lefty O'Doul's in San Francisco, CA, and Tony & Alba's Pizza in San Jose, CA, which has original game-used 49er's jerseys -- check-out the proper tagging and game wear, including Montana.

Don and Charlie's, I know its already been said but during spring training you go and you are guaranteed to see a baseball player/coach or some other athlete, plus the amazing memorabilia. I've saw Muhammad Ali, Rollie Fingers, Lou Pinella, Joe Torre among many others there in just around 5 visits .

Wayne Gretzky's restaurant in Toronto has some of his most historic game-worn jerseys in display cases along the walls.

And there is a fantastic game-used stick display in the main dining room.

Chris Chelios' restaurant in Detroit has some cool game-worn jerseys, too.

Players Sports Bar and Grill in Wichita, Kansas. Players has been a Wichita favorite for 25 plus years. Oddly enough, just this week the owner changed the name to Brooklyn's Chophouse and Brew Tavern. The memorabilia alone is insured for millions.

Re: Restaurants with sports memorabilia

Re: Restaurants with sports memorabilia

I think a good chunk of the items at Mickey Mantle's are for sale.

I love going there to eat!
