Great live music, food and service!
We waited over a for our food. When it arrived our fries were cold. We weren’t given utensils and when we asked for some we were told they had run out. By the time we got utensils the rest of our food was cold. To top it off no one refilled our drinks. It was all around a terrible experience.

Johnnie's Jazz Bar & Grille at The Power & Light District provides a lively atmosphere centered on music and drinks rather than cuisine. Although the menu features typical bar fare like burgers, dogs, pizza, and appetizers, it may not impress everyone. The food is mainly served on plastic disposable plates and offers a decent experience for those looking to enjoy great entertainment. The location is convenient, wheelchair accessible, and praised for its comfortable seating and reasonable prices, making it a popular spot for visitors wanting an energetic jazz experience.
The venue often features old-time jazz bands, creating a fun and vibrant environment, especially during Salsa/Bachata Saturdays, which are highly recommended. However, some guests have noted that certain basics may not always be available, and the drink service can be slow. While the ambiance is cool and the band is fantastic, the overall experience is mixed, with room for improvement in service and menu options. Despite these concerns, Johnnie's remains a great place for a date night or a night out, offering a beautiful setting and enjoyable live music.
