Jonny's Sports Bar

This place is good if you dont mind hanging out with a bunch of youngsters that try way too hard to have a good time. I dont care if its a bunch of young girls but the guys is what is the problem. Sometimes it feels like a huge sausage fest. I like to go hang out with crowds in their mid to late 20s. They should try to keep the kids out, altho its not illegal for them to be at a bar it is illegal for them to drink. The games are fun, the screens are good and parking is good. In all this place is not bad but its also not great.

Pros: Parking, Games

Cons: too many guys trying too hard, price

Well I have to be the one that calls out the obvious self promotion by someone that works at or owns Jonny's. The other reviews are stretches at the very least. This bar has tried to pull in the barely 21 crowd since day 1. I was still in school when this place opened under the Jonny's name and showed up for several of the promotional nights. One thing was consistent between all of the visits; the overwhelming feeling that I was back in freshman year watching a group of pledges try to figure out how to drink. The vibe is awkward, trying too hard, frat uniformed freshmen. A conversation your likely to hear is "DUDE MY SEMESTER WAS SOOOO MUCH CRAZIER". I honestly cant believe this place hasn't had major problems with T.A.B.C. If this isn't enough to stop you from considering Johnny's then follow me to the next point. The service was lower than horrible. Aside from the stuck on dumb promoters/owners/bartenders climbing all over the bar to pour uncounted shots into teenagers mouths, getting a drink will require all of the patience you can muster. After finally getting a bartender to get me a drink I balked at the price ~$8 and she snapped back "where do you go, thats how much they are EVERYWHERE"... perhaps, but those places serve me quickly and sort out the toddlers at the door. I will pay premium prices for premium service/product. You will likely get neither at Johnny's. If you routinely leave the house with your collar popped, like to boast about how crazy hell week (last week) was, or feel like revisiting the exciting times of watching your freshman year girlfriend cry about her BFF after 3 jagerbombs. DON'T MISS THIS PLACE! Parking is close and plentiful though. Its got that going for it, which is nice.

Pros: big patio, parking

Cons: underage clients, poor drink value

The best part of Jonny's, besides the pretty large parking lot for a bar, is the beer pong tables available. The bartenders are incredibly friendly and don't let you sit with an empty glass (as long as you're sitting at the bar that is). The only downside is that they don't serve food, so if you think you're going to get the munchies, make sure to ask for the delivery menus they keep behind the bar. Lots of fun and highly recommended.

Pros: parking, service, activities (beer pong)

Cons: no snacks available

It's good to see the reutrn of a sports bar the the Rice Village area. Jonny's is a great addition to Rice Village. The first thing I noticed when I went there was that I could park right next to the bar, something unheard of in most of Rice Village. With ample seating on the Deck and an array of comfy couches inside, this has to be one of the most versitile places to watch a game. Billiards, Darts Shuffleboard and BEER-PONG(if you are unfamiliar, come on Mondays for the weekly Beer-Pong Tournament) keep the entertainment hoppin' along with the many plasma screens. Jonny's has the best drink prices for the area hands-down, not to mention a great happy hour. Overall, Jonny's is a great place for an after-work drink, to catch a game, shoot some pool or darts, or just to hang out. HIghly recommended
