About Ron's Place
Thanks for taking a moment to learn more about Ron’s Place! In 1972, Ron Pendrick opened his bar on the corner of 52nd Street and 33rd Avenue. Corner bars were a dime a dozen at the time. He knew that if he wanted his bar to do well, he had to do something to elevate it above the rest. He did this by providing his customers with an upscale, comfortable environment, where friendly conversation was welcome. During this time, most bars were also serving nothing more than beer nuts and pretzels. Ron saw this as an opportunity to introduce something new to the Kenosha bar scene. He then created the famous 5 x 5 burger that we love today!
“Great Food. Great drinks. Great environment. I love this place by all means. The long island iced tea is awesome.”
