This is an ideal place to relax, drink, and chat. It's also a small business with a lot of friendly regulars. It's also an Ohio bar. The food is solid, but the atmosphere is really the draw. The person who is serving you or working in the kitchen is highly likely to be the owner.

I hate giving places mediocre reviews, but for context I have been coming here for a year. The place has always been a good place, however in recent times it’s fell off a bit. They are usually severely understaffed which is fine during the week, but on the weekends when the place is packed I’ve seen them multiple times only have one cook and one bartender, no one to even take orders. Not only that but sometimes it is hard to get people’s attention, the workers all seem stressed out. They also say that they are closed on Mondays but then when I walk past the place it is open… I don’t know if it’s like a managerial thing, but it is more of like a sports bar so I figure the weekends they would want to have adequate staff to manage more people. Personally I hope they bounce back but to be honest I’m unsure. I personally like their food compared to the places next store, but for the past couple of months I’ve found myself taking friends to the other places just simply because I can’t get anyone’s attention. I also just think that you need to have a schedule and stick to the schedule, but it may just be me.

Johnny’s is my favorite spot in the neighborhood. Food is excellent, beers are cold, staff are friendly. There’s plenty of space, outdoor seating, and solid pricing for DC.

Johnny’s is one of my favorite neighborhood bars! The staff is always so lovely and helpful and the food is great. Whether meeting up with friends, celebrating someone’s birthday, or getting their Taco Bell Tuesday specials I’ve always had a great time at Johnny’s.

Doesn’t get more “neighborhood bar” than Johnny’s, and it doesn’t get more friendly than Braden the owner, the crew of regulars, and feel of small town Ohio.

The owner online and with signs in the establishment puts off the weirdest hostile energy I've ever seen. The food was not good at all. I didn't rate before because I wanted to give them a chance l but now they are begging for 5 star reviews on instagram. You don't get 5 stars for an unfriendly energy with microwave quality meals. They are also attacking people who review them badly for some reason. If you want better reviews, be a better establishment.
Such a fun and intimate space! And don’t get me started on the happy hour hot dogs!!

This is one of the places in DC that I take all my family and friend who are visiting me. And I think that says a lot about a place.
I’ve been coming to this bar since they started, and it’s honestly one of my favorite spots. It has such a cozy, welcoming vibe that makes you feel like you’re part of the family as soon as you walk in. The people here are incredible—they’re genuinely friendly and go out of their way to make sure you have a great time.
What makes this place even more special is that it’s a true small business, owned by some amazing people who’ve clearly worked hard to create something unique. You can feel the love they’ve poured into every detail, from the atmosphere to the food. I have seen them work hard since day one. Speaking of the food—it’s fantastic! Their special nights are equally thought of and it’s always a treat whether you're coming for drinks or a meal. If you’re in the area, do yourself a favor and check this place out.

Johnnys is a true neighborhood bar. The owners are incredibly friendly and they make an effort to say hello to each of the patrons who are hanging out at their spot. The food is delicious and the cocktail list is great - especially for a dive bar. I love watching sports there or sitting out in the patio with my dog (who gets greeted with a treat and water even if we’re just walking past the bar but don’t actually sit down for a drink). Definitely recommend checking it out!
