| - If you are looking to drink for cheap while playing darts or pool, this place might work for you. If you want to eat, I would look at almost any other bar in Shadyside. The menu is really small and really just 4 options for burgers, flatbreads, salad, and pasta. (There was an advertisement for soft pretzels and dip on our table, but they don't even have that on the menu which was weird.)
I came to Johnny O's with my two friends, and we were the only people here besides some guys playing darts. The service was SO slow, and the bartender spent the whole time texting and watching TV. It took over 40 minutes for us to get soft drinks. The kitchen got our food out quickly, but the burgers are so bland. I ordered the Western Burger ($8), which had bacon, BBQ sauce, Pepperjack cheese, lettuce, tomato, mayo, and pickles. The BBQ sauce was not good at all, the bacon was kind of a weird color and under-cooked, and the cheese did not taste at all. One friend ordered hers without tomato or mayo, and those still showed up on her burger. The burgers were so greasy that the bun was mush before I made it to the end. The actual beef burger was pretty good so I might consider getting a cheeseburger if I returned, which is unlikely.
The bar is really large, and the single pool table is cute. But with The Yard, Stack'd, Harris Grill, and so many other places with good food and drinks nearby, I am mostly unimpressed. Unlikely to return.
