Johnny's Tavern Story Through Local Memories
John Wilson opened Johnny's Tavern in 1953 and the iconic hanging beer sign remains. Renfro bought the bar in 1978 as river bridge construction began, and early mornings brought booters and tales of Old Slick the horse. The bar grew, memories of weddings, near misses, onion rings, and a long friendly run with KU rugby ties, while Renfro expands northward and keeps the comfortable, familiar vibe.
