Johnny's SLC

Johnny's was the spot to shoot pool and hang out with everybody but it's changed a little bit over the last few years. Business must be good for the owner to not mind losing so many regulars. A lot of us go to twilite lounge now because of the service. It's a great bar and I love it except for the fact that management now doesn't mind if a bartender charges your card twice and adds their own tip.

In the handful of times I've visited Johnny's it's been pretty great. Yes, it's loud. Yes, people suck at karaoke lol. And yes, the bartenders get busy some nights but omg they are humans! I love the trashcan, it's prolly my favorite drink. And bartenders have been so cool and they're just trying to run the business when people want their drinks quickly. The haters can go somewhere else, Johnny's is not that bad ❤️

My best friend works here so I may be a little biased. I come here in the early pm so I can't speak to the night crowd but Johnny's has some cheap specials and what's not on draft then they have a decent selection of bottles and cans. From what I've heard, poker Saturdays are fun. If you want to watch sports there are quite a few TVs where they are playing and even a movie playing too. Bunch of pool tables to boot as well. If you're bougie then keep in mind that the bar is more akin to a dive bar so don't expect classy drinks or cocktails you'd find on an island resort.

Bartenders refused to serve me and kicked me out because I didn’t tip after one drink. I planned on tipping later but I had little cash on me that night and was watching closely to see how much I can spend. It’s your job to serve alcohol whether you get tipped or not. They’re not even a good vibe nor are their personalities engaging so who would want to tip anyway. Tip to not get kicked out?

Never been a huge fan of this place. Day or night and it hasn't really mattered what day of the week. The crowd is just not my type of crowd. Maybe the age group I am not sure. I just haven't really ever had a great vibe with this place. The service was ok but it always seems as though the bartenders have something else to do always avoiding eye contact when you go to order a drink. And when your drink is gone do yourself à favor and order a new one because if you wait for them to notice and ask, if you want another it will never happen.

The most unsafe I’ve felt from a bar’s employees in my life. My boyfriend and I got kicked out last night, because the workers claimed I had a bottle of alcohol in my purse. I was on the front patio when I tried to show the door guy that there was no bottle in my purse when he refused to look in it, yelled aggressively at me, and tried to kick my purse. He was bizarrely aggressive. I’ve never cared to leave a negative review for any place, but this was astonishing. I wish I got their names down, but the owner can go ahead and look at the cameras if they care to figure out which of their employees were acting like that.

the amount of horror stories i’ve heard about this place from friends is actually insane. i decided to go here a while back with a few friends and experienced one for myself. the bartenders are very rude and we got kicked out for really no reason. so, if you wanna be treated like crap for not being one of their alcoholic regulars, this is your bar.

Door guys assaulted my friends. At 1:20 the door guy in the photo on the right came around shouting at us aggressively that everyone had to leave immediately cause they were closing. We had been served drinks not long before, and the bar tenders did not tell us they were closing soon. So, we made our way out to the patio to finish our drinks. Moments later, the door guys started aggressively pushing everyone out. As I was leaving, I turned around and two of the door guys were choking out one of my friends and screaming and shouting. I’ve honestly never been somewhere with such unprofessional and aggressive people working the door and I’m 30 years old. I would never go back, the door guys have uncontrolled tempers and I felt very unsafe around them.
