Had an amazing pre-game meal before walking off to the Bruins game! Great food, great service and great time. Thanks

From beginning to end, every aspect of eating out was exceptional! The greeting from the host was welcoming. The waitress, Bre, was exceptional, and the food was delicious. Our experience was fantastic! Please do not hesitate to visit. You will not be disappointed.

Great spot right near the garden. Burger was super juicy. Guacamole Dip with chips was great. Plenty of Bean Town memorabilia and TV's to keep your attention. Service was great!

West End Johnnie's is a great venue, real close to the Garden. Observed some recent structural upgrades. Food was awesome. Great vibe.

We went before an event at the Garden. They were great, didn't rush us, the food and service were great.

The way to Russia order, then once the food was delivered forgot about us. Food was really good. Ambience was really nice. Service was just very slow.

West End Johnnie’s was a convenient pre-Bruins game stop, especially since we could easily reserve a table online for 15 people without having to call. The food was solid, classic bar-style fare, and the location right by the arena was a huge plus. We did end up eating a bit longer than planned and finished shortly after the game started. By that point, the place had mostly cleared out and the servers stopped checking in, which was a little frustrating and worth noting for the future. Overall, it’s a simple, basic, and easy option for a pre-game bite for any party size, with the reservation system being a big win.

Excellent dinner with my family on Christmas Eve Eve. The only issue was the kitchen botched our appetizers by combining everyone's clam and oyster orders so we had to figure out who got what. Not our servers fault. For some reason our servers helpers served the wrong plates to each person every round. Great food and atmosphere.

Great Sports Bar to go to before and sometimes after the game or concert. Friendly staff and good food and drinks!

One of my favorite pubs in Boston. It is a pleasure whenever I go there and the owner gives everyone a big greeting, which is extremely nice. Overall, it is my favorite place to go before a Celtics or Bruins game whenever I am in Boston.
We brought in 5 people for our 4 person reservation before the Bruins game. Host was excellent, adjusted on the fly and sat us in soft seating near entrance which was very nice. Food was very good, service was excellent. Great ambiance.

Attended the MA GOP Christmas event and the restaurant was the location at which the event was held. Food was fantastic and the service was great. Very festive looking setup and highly recommended tourists and locals check this place out 👍

Stopped into West End Johnnies around 9pm on a Saturday for a drink before hopping on the subway. The place was completely dead, which was surprising for that time on a weekend. The Celtics and Bruins weren’t playing, so there wasn’t a built-in crowd—but we had already tried two nearby bars that were packed, which is how we ended up here.
What really stood out was learning the kitchen closes at 9pm. On a Saturday night in a city where bars are open until 2am, that’s pretty shocking. It feels like they’re aiming for an upscale vibe, but the lack of customers suggests it’s not landing.
Boston is largely a blue-collar, rough-around-the-edges city, and this place seems to miss the mark on the kind of crowd that actually fills bars here. It’s disappointing, especially given how many better, livelier options are close by—which was very evident based on how busy those places were compared to this one.

Just there for after work gathering and they were very accommodating.
