| - Johnny's Downtown bar was the most fun I've had out in a long time!
I'm a new mom, and pregnant again, so my usual bed time is about 8:30pm. I'm a total home-body these days and usually it takes a lot to get me to stay up past 10pm. Well, we had visitors from out of state, and wanted to show them a good time downtown. I had help planning the nights festivities from my husbands cousin who has lived in Cleveland her whole life and often comes downtown for a nice night out.
We planned for this to be our last stop of the night. We ended up here a bit earlier than we expected in our bar-hopping because there was a horribly drunk girl at the Nauti Mermaid (but I digress). We went straight for the bar, able to snag a few seats, and a few more after a while as people there to eat started leaving. It was a Friday night, and they had a piano player/singer for entertainment, and boy was he entertaining! The piano player was not stuffy at ALL and let others sing and play while he was on his break, he also encouraged a sing-a-long atmosphere that made requesting your favorite song all the more enjoyable!
The bar tenders were young, and nice. They knew what they were doing and seemed to juggle the bar patrons (and all the yelling - I mean signing) well. I cant speak to the drinks that were made, although everyone I was with enjoyed their beverages. They tended to make the drinks on the strong side. My Shirley Temple was great. Also great: the creme brule! It was a great texture and flavor, and they crusted the sugar top right before it came out, so it was nice and warm while the custard was cold. Yum!
The worst part of the evening was having to call it a night - Thanks Johnny's!
