Nicky Blair's was a high-end Italian restaurant on the Sunset Strip on Sunset Boulevard in West Hollywood, next to Le Dome.[1] [2] It thrived in the late 1980s and early 1990s. It was named after the proprietor, Nicky Blair, a bit-part film actor who starred in over 75 movies.[3] [4] He established it in 1986. Blair opened a Nicky Blair's in 1996 in Las Vegas and ran it until his death from liver cancer in 1998.[5][6]
The Los Angeles Nicky Blair's closed in 1993, and the Las Vegas version closed in 1998, the year of Blair's death.[7]
