Bobby V's Sports Bar Closing After 37+ Years

STAMFORD, CT — The Original Bobby V's sports bar announced that it will close its doors Monday.

The venue will be replaced by Bobby V's Restaurant and Sports Bar which is under construction on Atlantic Street, according to the Stamford Advocate. That location is set to open in early June and will feature off-track betting.

"It’s the Last Final Game! After 13,650 days, the house that Joe Romano inspired and Joe Valentine built is making its last pitch," said founder and owner Bobby Valentine on Facebook. "After our amazing staff of hundreds has served more than 600,000 burgers, 7,000,000 long necks, 3,000,000 drafts, 350,000 plates of nachos, 250,000 wraps, 2,500,000 wings and thousands of good times, we are leaving our old home and transitioning to our new one."

Valentine said he would be at the sports bar Monday night for the NCAA men's basketball championship game.

Valentine is a former baseball player and coach and is currently the athletic director at Sacred Heart University.
