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. Ron later added the famous 5x5 burger, and many new variations as well as long island iced teas that can't be beat!
