| - I've been here twice and have not been disappointed. Johnny's is a nice, somewhat small bar with great pub food, good beers, and a small-town feel. I almost want to say intimate atmosphere - but not the kind of intimate that goes on behind closed doors. The kind of intimate where you're with a group of good, old friends. Does that make sense? Hopefully!
My first visit was during the opening ceremonies of the 2012 Olympics - my roommate and I sat here and watched the parade of athletes while sipping on G+Ts and V+Ts (Sweden...you have some good looking Olympians!). Very reasonably priced drinks, decent service, friendly bartenders.
One downside - the music is entirely jukebox driven. If no one pays, there's no music. And on the flip side, someone can pay a ton and just be the DJ for the night...whether you like it or not. That being said, when it's playing, the music isn't loud enough to be disruptive.
My second time at Johnny's was during the AFC championship game, and my friend and I were the only people there for about an hour - but the staff was still friendly, and I still had a good time. I got onion rings and mozzarella sticks, and oh my goodness both were delicious. I'm sure my arteries needed a plunger after that, but it was certainly worth it. If you are choosing between the two, go with the onion rings - the portions are huge and so, so perfectly crispy.
