The Bisca Tournament Club originated at the Crystal Café on Acushnet Ave in New Bedford in 1990 where a few people would get together and play Bisca. Outgrowing the Crystal, they rented space in 1994 at 161 Acushnet Ave in New Bedford where The Bisca Tournament Club is now located. Growing at a fast pace they purchased the building in 1995 and then eventually purchasing the building next door which is The Bisca Function Hall. Today it is known throughout the Cape Verdean community all over the World.
