Summary
After 22 years as a Pasadena institution, Nikki C’s Bar and Grill is closing forever — not from choice, but from a roof collapse that became the final blow. Owner Nikki Caiello, heartbroken but resolute, is liquidating every last chair, barstool, and martini glass in a final community sale this week, hoping these treasures find new homes rather than landfills. With regulatory hurdles and lost parking making a rebuild impossible, she’s turning goodbye into a toast — thanking the community that turned her restaurant into family. Meanwhile, she and her father plan legal action against property owners, citing years of neglect that led to this moment. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
