50 Best Sports Bars near Johnston

“Love it here, everyone that works here is so nice!“

“😌It would be nice if they honored the Triv prizes.“

“This restaurant notified us, after we ordered online for delivery, that they believed our driver took our order. They called to tell us that before we even had a chance to believe there was a problem, and fully communicated what the issue was. They remade our order and it was delivered less than a half hour after they discovered the issue. Superior customer service. Highly recommend.“

“We had our Holiday party there on Saturday January 20th. The food was good, and the staff was excellent.“

“I went here for the first time because I was given a coupon from my realtor (Brett Fine - best realtor ever) and little did I know it would quickly become my favorite local restaurant. I’ve tried several items from pickle fries to the gyro, Tito’s flatbread, Alfredo, etc and everything had tasted wonderful and always comes out hot. The service is always top tier - friendly, efficient. Can’t say enough good things about Tito’s.“

“Fantastic place for lunch or dinner. Great food at reasonable prices. Always good specials as well.“

“Love dining near the food was great! Great service server was Shannon and she was very attentive always came back and checked on us kept our drinks filled! Would definitely recommend this place food and service was great thanks Shannon“

“Had a pickup order, had the Nashville hot chicken sandwich, food was ready very fast and was one of the best chicken sandwiches I’ve ever had. One small gripe is I wish it had a little more of the hot oil.“

“Just a great bar, we meet our son there when we’re in town.“

“We had an amazing time at Francies. The food was amazing. I had the steak and peppers sandwich and fries. The fries were so good.“

“Bears fans need to come and watch a game“

“Yanci was excellent ! Drinks were awesome and food was delicious and came so fast!“

“It's a nice little neighborhood sports bar! Food is delicious and the staff has always been absolutely the best.

Kid-friendliness: The staff has always been so good with my daughter who loves to chit chat about what's going on with her and they are so warm and welcoming.“

“I DO NOT RECOMMEND!! It appears they have their do no recommend set so that your post cannot publish. Called this morning to let the staff know we were going with a group of 12 and they said that would not be a problem. In an hour our group received water and a drink order placed but never got it. The same server continued to wait on other tables, make drinks for other tables and made no effort or hurry to make ours or come back to take our order. In addition, the bartender continued to walk around and socialize rather than makes drinks. We even wrote down our whole order and patiently waited for her to come back to make it easy for her. This is the second that we have attempted to come to your establishment with the same results.“

“Went tonight for steak night! Best steak I've ever had! TJ on the grill was the absolute BEST! He definitely knows what he's doing! Will definitely be back! Great food, great drinks and great atmosphere!“

“darts, drinks, food and fun“

“I love this bar and I appreciate that they have gluten free options.“

“I’m glad I waited to post a review because I would have originally gave this place 1 or 2 stars based off of one very irritating circumstance that happened when dining last night. But, I then started thinking about all the really good things in comparison and didn’t think that would be truly deserving.

Nonetheless- it’s extremely disappointing to spend $11 on an appetizer— and not have any time to actually eat it or enjoy it. What was most bothersome is that I even asked the gal taking our order if it would come ahead of the main meals — and she assured me it would. Well she wasn’t wrong, but it was literally 2 minutes after getting the appetizer, here came the main course. Uggh! Really?

At that point you’re forced to decide which one you’re gona let get cold, not enjoy, and waste money on.

This was really my only criticism. But it was soooo very frustrating that it almost earned them a 1-star review. Everything else was great. Burgers were on point, sides were delicious, service was great.

Get the timing of food delivery down (especially when asked) and things would have been purely great.“

“Best music,wanted a bar that made u feel in ur 20's again. and wanna just dance lol,yet without too many people and it's small,but very nice abdyet has everything a big bar would have for entertainment:great music,pool tables,pinball machines,darts,etc!( Plus I have to mention the nice staff,as well as super friendly people who end up conversing with!)“

“I have never been here but after following some of your reviews and looking at you online makes me want to visit!“

“Olivia was great and deserves a pay raise“

“Randomly stopped here. Amazing chicken Alfredo pizza and great mixed drinks!!! Oh ... And the bartender was amazingly fun!“

“What a fun place! Next time we will try a escape room. Need more bathrooms. Had a great time!“

“We really liked it. My wife had the Turkey Panini and I had the Nashville Hot sandwich, it was really good. The fries were very tasty as well, not to mention the great Selection of IPA’s! Service was spot on too with our server(s) being there right when we needed them for another round of IPA’s. Looks like a new “go-to” spot for us!“

“You want a dive bar that is also clean? This is it. Damn friendly staff and patrons. I go there periodically for a beer. They had a birthday party for a regular. Tons of food. I knew no one but several people came up to me and told me to partake in the goods.“

“I would highly recommend Caffereys! It does not only have great service, but it is a neighborhood bar that you can meet so many wonderful people! The staff is wonderful especially Marcy, Taylor and Kristin! This is like a second home for me. Regards, Shane“

“Great little place. Definitely for the Cubs fans. Great variety of bomb drinks. I had the Capri sun and that's exactly what it tasted like. Black cherry rum with an orange monster Delicious. Bartender was great, friendly and helpful. Will be going back when we are in town again.“

“Great place to grab a beer and food with friends and coworkers.“

“Very amazing family night tonight! We had a family of 9 and they got us in to eat right away, great food, great prices, fun for all! Bowling prices were also very reasonable! Will be back soon! Thank you to the amazing team!“

“Awesome place to have a birthday party, your weekly golf league or just to keep your swing in shape during the off season! Not to mention all the foods made in house! 🤌🏻“

“It has to have the friendliest bar tenders, bar owners anywhere. Great place just to hang out with friends and family to have a few and relax or party. Love the staff.“

“Great service and the band was really good!“

“My wife and I went there Saturday evening for dinner, drinks, and a football game. Our waitress was outstanding! Can't remember her name but she is a 4th grade teacher.
Drinks were wonderful and lots of draft beer to choose from. We ordered a pizza and it was very good. Good enough that we are coming back Friday night to try taco pizza.
Thanks Cabaret!
UPDATE: We went last night and again, had a great experience! We ordered a taco pizza and wow, it was a surprise! One of the best, if not the best, taco pizzas we've ever had! Very good. Shocking really. Thanks again Cabaret!“

“Great bar!! Best HAWKEYE bar!!“

“Love the bar, free pool on Sundays, weekly specials, and friendly bartender. The reason I give it a 4 out of 5 is because the dj sucks. He takes a lot of smoke break, his mic smells like stale cigarettes, he sings the longest songs taking away time from the customers that are there to sing, and his equipment needs better sound quality. It drowns out the singer. So other than needing a new dj I say it’s a great place to visit!“

“The staff & the regulars are super friendly. The bartenders remember my name & what I like to drink. Sometimes I don't even have to ask. 😁 This is a great place to go hang with friends or by yourself. If you do go in by yourself, it won't be long before someone strikes up a conversation.“

“Stopped in for the first time today. I’m happy to have a good breakfast place on Ingersoll. The food was good and staff was super nice. Will be back for sure.“

“We frequent here a lot because of the diverse menu which has something to please everyone and the food is almost always perfect. However, we have come to understand that this location is lacking a permanent manager and it shows. This trip, the greeter was rather short when seating is and I noticed he had the same demeanor when waiting on tables (we had a different server whom was good). Food was good but the bathroom needed a little attention as the trash was overflowing. The previous time we ate here the server was running her but off trying to take care of everything and doing a great job. She was the one who informed us of the management situation and she apologized. I hope they can resolve the issue to bring some order to the restaurant.“

“Sure, it's a strip mall bar that's pretty much a dive, but I love it. Staff is surprisingly attentive and polite for how busy it can get and I've never had much of an issue with the clientele. Love coming hear to watch Hawkeye, Cyclone or Cubs games. Insanely low prices also. One of my favorite bars in the city.“

“My friend and I wanted a drink and a late lunch. After stopping in Bench Warmers several times and not getting waited on because the waitresses tend to pay more attention to bar patrons, we decided to give Bench Warmers one more try! We were pleasantly greeted immediately by Lisa that took our drink order and gave us time to check out the menu and visit while we were enjoying our drinks. The service was fantastic and always with a smile. We will stop in again in the near future! I think one other waitress finally greeted us as we were walking out the door!“

“Great food and service! Great place to watch a game. Better than average food and TV’s everywhere“

“Events during the week are great! Fun bartenders, local patrons and all around great time!“

“Great place to go for any kind of night out. Good drinks and even better service.
However; I noticed the tablets you pay on only offer up to 5% suggested tip. I’m hoping this is a mistake overlooked by management bc their servers deserve those numbers to say 18%, 20%, and 22%“

“I’ve been a Star Bar patron for over a decade.

From a location for seemingly every group happy hour, political get to know ya, or just because social time, it’s been here. It’s not the destination for nearly as many group events, but it still rocks for a laid back, casual evening with friends. The bathrooms are clean, the taps rotate with the season, and the food is consistently good.

The only 2 downsides I’ve found are:
- they used to host far more small musical acts. that’s gone by the way side. I’m unsure if whoever booked/managed lost interest or small bands don’t want to play here, but I came more often when that occurred.
- FREE THE GOAT CHEESE. The blackened chicken Philly and goat cheese with roasted peppers and garlic appetizer have left the menu. Those 2 dishes were simple, yet superbly done. Idk who decided they were too basic for the new age, but they are incorrect. (Hint: ask if the kitchen will make you the Philly. If certain folks are on, they might indulge your desire for the smoky, cheesy goodness between that hoagie roll).“

“Lots of variety. Flavorful and hearty.“

“This place is the bee’s knees. Consistent fast fresh & friendly. Fair prices too. They’ll modify your order to make you something, even if it’s not on the menu. They used to have a burger I liked that wasn’t on the menu, but our server Levi knew what we were talking about and told the kitchen. The best service we’ve seen for a long while.“

“friendly CHEERS ATMOSPHERE.... jyst updated their food menu as well! great place to watch Football!!“

“Took my mom and brother here on Friday to try to cheer my brother up after a bad day and our waitress Dey did just that and more! She had an AMAZING attitude, was very attentive to our table, never did a drink go low and she just had the best vibe I’ve ever experienced while eating out. She even offered a drink to go, just going above and beyond with her service. If you go here make sure to ask for Dey, she’ll make your experience worth while!!“

“The Punching Pandas ROCK! From the energy, to the song selection - to the horn section- these guys bring it! They are guaranteed make every show they play one big party. Once again- THEY ROCK! 🤘😎“
