The Former World Champion's Bar Has Been Shut Down

Cada's Poker and Sports Grill in Sterling Heights has been closed down temporary. The owners, Jerry Cada (Joe's father) and Patrick Bernhardt, voluntarily closed the place while an investigation into its liquor license is under way.

Cada's Poker and Sports Grill opened in the former Roosevelt's Bar & Grill and applied for a liquor license transfer in October 2001. According to macombdaily, an investigation was completed, but the application was later amended in the summer of 2012. In September of last year, the file was "held for further commission consideration," records show.
