Johnny's SLC

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 ❤️

The doorman wouldn't let us in, because the doorman at bar x, beer bar, denied us entry because my wife had a glass of water. Me, my wife, and our friend from Indianapolis just had dinner at taqueria 27 , we were not intoxicated on this wed night at 8:30 pm, all in our 40s, just catching up. the guy from bar-x -beer bar, yelled over to the doorman at Johnny's and said not to let us in, I believe it was because I had on cowboy boots, which does not seem out of place in Utah 🤷🏼, the beer bar- bar x door man then threatened me saying, " what am I going to do about it". We left and went to arempas and green pig, much better energy.

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.

I kept ordering top shelf but the bartender with dark skin kept giving me shitty spirits. Place smells like a restroom. First time but and not coming back. I love the music and dj though

DJ sucks. Won’t take requests. Says he will. But then won’t. Drinks are terrible. Crowd is a bunch of teenagers. Doubtful anyone is legal

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.

Please do not support this bar. They rent out the Public electric vehicle charger spot in front of the bar to a food truck that blocks the charger every night after 7pm. When speaking with the food truck owner asking them to move their illegally parked truck blocking the charger, the bar owners started heckling and threatening me. This business has no place in Salt Lake.

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.
