Ron's Original Bar & Grille
Ron opened his first restaurant in 1982 and still works at least six days a week; the desserts are made from scratch daily. Live music takes the bar Wednesdays, Fridays, and Saturdays, and you can grab to-go beer from the takeout area on the way out.

Coming up here
Rosewood
Labor Day weekend Saturday, three hours of music in the bar from six. Expect the room busier than usual for a holiday weekend, so come early for a table.
Clay McElwee
Back in the bar for a Wednesday, six to nine. McElwee plays this room a few times a season, which makes him about as close to a house act as Ron's has.
Trivia Night
Weekly Thursday trivia at the Uwchlan Avenue bar, six-thirty start. Ron's kitchen works from scratch, so dinner during the quiz is a real dinner, not bar snacks.
Jeff Domenick
Friday night music in the bar at Ron's, three hours from six. Walk in, sit down, order. This is the shape of most Fridays here.
John Valerio
Second Valerio date on the fall calendar, this one a Wednesday, six to nine in the bar. Free and easy to drop into after work.
Trivia Night
Thursday quiz night in the bar at Ron's, two hours flat. Teams of four or five do best. The gluten-free menu is real here if that matters to somebody in your group.
Jaime Salvatore
Friday evening set in the bar, six to nine. Ron's stocks a long craft draft and bottle list, so there is more than the usual four taps to work through.
Gianna Lynn
Saturday night music in the bar at Ron's, three hours from six. No ticket, no cover. Dinner and a set for the price of dinner.
John Rodden
Wednesday music at Ron's, six to nine in the bar. The room seats well for two, so it works as a midweek dinner that does not feel like a Wednesday.
Trivia Night
Last September Thursday of trivia at Ron's. Six-thirty to eight-thirty in the bar, and live music returns to the same room on Friday and Saturday if you want a follow-up.
Ryan Zimmerman
Friday night in the bar, three hours of music starting at six. Ron's does its desserts in house, which is a better ending than most bar nights get.
Dennis Grabowski
Saturday evening set at Ron's, six to nine in the bar. Free to walk into and the kitchen runs the full menu right through the music.
Chris LeBresco
Last night of September with music in the bar at Ron's, six to nine. A Wednesday, so the room stays civil and you can actually hear the guitar.
Trivia Night
Jordan Johnson runs the questions Thursday nights from 6:30 to 8:30. Bring a team, order dinner while you play, and expect pop culture, music, history and sports in the mix.
Paul Donovan
Friday night acoustic set from six to nine, early enough to eat right through it. Ron's runs a long Italian menu and a deep to-go beer case if the evening keeps going.
Adeline Csontos
A Saturday solo set from six to nine while the kitchen is still going strong. No cover at the door, so grab a table on the early side if you actually want to hear anything.
Matt Calabro
Midweek music from six to nine at the Uwchlan Avenue bar. A quieter room than the weekend, which is the point if you want to talk between songs.

Jordan Johnson runs the questions Thursday nights from 6:30 to 8:30. Bring a team, order dinner while you play, and expect pop culture, music, history and sports in the mix.
Dale Ciccarelli
Three hours of live music starting at six on a Friday. Ron's keeps the volume conversational, so the bar side stays usable the whole time the set runs.
Clay McElwee
A regular on Ron's Wednesday calendar, playing six to nine. Full dinner menu the whole time, no cover at the door, and the dining room turns over fast.

Brandon Foy
Friday set from six to nine. The dining room fills first, so the bar is usually the better bet if you turn up after seven without a reservation.
Shaun McElwee
Saturday night guitar from six to nine. One of the two McElwees who rotate through Ron's calendar most months, playing to a room that mostly came for dinner.
John Valerio
Wednesday night set running six to nine. Valerio turns up on this calendar every few weeks, which tells you roughly how the regulars feel about him.

Brims & Bling
Easterly Collective sets up a custom hat bar and the Permanent Wander does permanent jewelry, both in Ron's tent from four to six. Ticketed, with happy hour pricing running alongside.
Andrew Sharpless
Saturday music from six to nine, right after the afternoon hat and jewelry pop-up in the tent. Stay put and make it one long evening in the same building.
Chris LeBresco
Midweek live music, six to nine, at the Exton bar that has kept this calendar running for years. Free, no ticket, just get there before the tables go.

Jordan Johnson runs the questions Thursday nights from 6:30 to 8:30. Bring a team, order dinner while you play, and expect pop culture, music, history and sports in the mix.
Mike DiEleuterio
Halloween weekend Friday, six to nine. Costumes optional, dinner sensible, and the to-go beer case stays open until close if you need to restock for Saturday.
Taylor DiRosario
Wednesday night, six to nine. November moves the whole operation indoors, so expect the dining room rather than the tent out back.

Rosewood
A band rather than a solo act, playing six to nine on a Friday. Louder than Ron's usual midweek booking, and the room tends to fill up for it.
Clay McElwee
Back for another Wednesday set, six to nine. Veterans Day, so the bar side tends to run busy earlier than usual and the dining room turns over quickly.

Jordan Johnson runs the questions Thursday nights from 6:30 to 8:30. Bring a team, order dinner while you play, and expect pop culture, music, history and sports in the mix.
Jack Kidd
Friday night from six to nine. Ron's books music three or four nights most weeks through November, and this is the weekend slot for the middle of the month.
Selah Faith
Saturday set, six to nine. Worth calling ahead for a table if you want to see the corner where the music happens rather than just hear it from the bar.
John Valerio
Another Wednesday from Valerio, six to nine. Midweek at Ron's is the version of this room where you can still hear the person across the table.

Jordan Johnson runs the questions Thursday nights from 6:30 to 8:30. Bring a team, order dinner while you play, and expect pop culture, music, history and sports in the mix.
David Cunningham
Saturday night music from six to nine, the weekend before Thanksgiving. Expect a room of people who came home for the holiday and ran into each other here.
Daniel Rodriguez
Thanksgiving eve, six to nine. The biggest bar night of the year in most towns, and Ron's puts a live set behind it instead of just a crowd.

Paul Donovan
The Friday after Thanksgiving, six to nine. Leftovers at home, or an Italian dinner with a guitar going in the corner. Your call.
