Wanted to visit the original Johnny's for a late night snack. The atmosphere was nice and food and drinks came out super quick and speedy. Food was great for a pub/dive. We were slightly shocked at the price for two people since it was 57 dollars for a pub. We both got iced tea and the teas were 3 dollars each. I got a mixed drink and my partner got a beer, but for some reason his beer was about the same cost as my mixed drink. Kind of hurt to swipe the card since there were...
This place is seriously such a community staple and hits it out of the park with every visit… and I visit a lot. The greatest burgers, beer, appetizers, pizza, chicken, you name it you can’t go wrong. And while the West Lawrence location has its perks, nothing can beat the OG Johnny’s Tavern. The vibe is rustic and lively and the bartenders and staff are always happy to see you with a blue collar lager always cold off the tap. Keep doing you Johnny’s Tavern!
Such a great KU vibe! Love the court table tops. I had the Tank 7 burger (beer cheese on it) and a Tank 7 on tap. Great beer selection!! Service was on their game!
Wings and pizza also very good choices
