December 31st, 2019: The last night of the storied restaurant, closing after 59 years as The Ranch

            Hayward, CA - December 2019
"Into the early days of Hayward’s birth, The Ranch Supper Club has always been known for great food and honest cocktails. Originally named The Aladdin in 1931, this historic landmark quickly gained the reputation as a favorite Northwoods stopping place for early lumberjacks, entrepreneurial timber tycoons, and notorious Chicago gangsters of the time. Stories have even circulated of G-men disguising themselves as waiters in hopes of apprehending one of infamous criminals that used to dine here.
The 40’s and 50’s saw several different owners come and go, but in 1960 the restaurant gained its current identity as The Ranch Supper Club, complete with bison, a deer farm, a famous sway-back horse and the unforgettable proprietress, Vivian Levinson. She made a definite mark in The Ranch history book and those who knew her will always recall Vivian’s “colorful personality”.
In 1987 Beth and Barney Morgan partnered with Cheryl Haupt to run the classic supper club for the ensuing 30 plus years, the longest standing ownership to date. However, September 23rd, 2016 cut their partnership short with the untimely passing of Cheryl. Her truly irreplaceable spirit and knowledge of Hayward’s history will be remembered by us all."
