The Brass Door, formerly known as the 8/5 Club, was established by Howard Schlesinger in 1946. It was originally a six-stool bar and 20-person dining facility with a menu, which comprised of steam beer and fried chicken. Schlesinger s son, Mickey and his partner Dick Basso bought the club in 1955. Soon after, they renamed the club, The Brass Door. Over the years, the partners expanded the facility to include a 20-stool bar, 50-seater cocktail lounge and a dining area for 160 guests. Following a brief period of closure in 1994, due to a fire, the bar was completely rebuilt. Still operational from its original location in San Ramon, Calif., the bar has an extensive menu of prime beef, fresh seafood, salads and pastas.
