“Don't drink, so I ordered a diet Soda. The bartender warned me that he didn't know who's diet it was but that it wasn't that good. He was being nice to what ever it was I had. Disgusting,Horrible diet soda. Everything else was great. Except a Niners glass....Probably because of my Seahawks Shirt.“

“I discovered this great gem of a bar during the final Hayward B street block party of the season! The owner was very friendly & the bar tender was amazing! She was working so hard because it was super busy. I ordered the Lemon Pepper Chicken wings & they were the best I'd ever had. YUM!! They took awhile to come but as I said they were super busy at the time, but they were well worth the wait. Come on down to Blue Crown Bar & Bistro!!“

“Wonderful dinner experience with wonderful friends“

“Went 1/2/26. We knew this place when it was called Mojo’s. Mojo’s was not a good place. A little shady. But Johnny’s is under new ownership. The inside has been completely redone. Better lit. More open. Friendlier vibe. Security. Lots of TV’s with sports. Several electronic dart boards and pool tables. The night we went had a DJ. Bartender (Kim) was great. Not her normal bar. Usually at Johnny’s Newark location. But still great. The new makeover is fairly new. Kitchen is not finished so no food yet, but Kim said it was coming soon. Since this is much closer to our house than driving into Newark, this might have to be our new local watering hole. Maybe lucky for us it’s not well known that it has reopened. Glad someone took it over and made it a place everyone can enjoy and feel safe. Trying to spread the good word with this review as Johnny’s deserves new opportunities with their new look.“

“Flora, Lily, Jessica, and Cece are the BEST!! We love Akira Sushi- have been coming here for years and consistently the best sushi in Danville. This will forever be our go-to spot and everyone that takes care of us. Special shoutout to Cece and Jessica- their customer service is superb and they are so sweet- we love being served by them!!!“

“Great food and comfortable atmosphere, highly recommended“

“This is old school Mexican restaurant and food and thank goodness it still exists. Maze like interiors with old style decor, frescos on the walls, heavy furniture. It just gets more beautiful as the night comes. Polite helpful servers that know the menu. Lots of new variations but I went with the Chile relleno, cheese enchilada, rice and beans. It rushed me back to my childhood. Enjoy.“
