After initially leaving a “not so great” review based on my experience with some of the staff, I was contacted by the owner. He was extremely remorseful for the situation at hand, and dealt with it in a timely and professional manner. He went above and beyond to correct the situation at hand, and make sure that I was taken care of.
I haven’t been to Johnny dollars, since, but it is a cool dive. It’s got a pretty cool lounge area inside, as well as pool tables, and a patio area that seemed to be the popular for the customers. Most of all, the owner cares, and the leadership shown in my situation is why I would like to make my way back in the future. Thanks JDs!

How have I missed this place my whole life? I had a couple IPAs and didn't want to drink anything else strong and the bartender kindly offered an N/A IPA. Loved that about her! Most bartenders like to one more you to death but she respected the fact I wanted one more without it being so strong and loved she sold me on a N/A beer. She was also very kind btw

Would give 0 stars if I could. Worst and rudest bartending staff I’ve ever experienced. Bartenders cut off friends after one drink for no reason and kicked friends out of bar saying they were “rolling their eyes.” I’ve never felt so unwelcome in a bar in my life. Will never be back and will NEVER recommend in my life.

The bartender with braids on Thanksgiving just had the worst attitude when talking the drink order. Other than that johnny dollars is always a vibe.

Anthony (ASM) got physical with a member of my group for calling him out on cutting in line multiple times for the pool tables. I had to pull his hands off said friend and step between. Upon realizing he’s outnumbered he went to the bouncers to kick out said friend. I asked Anthony if there’s a learning moment here I’d like to hear it. He got in my face. I said, “You don’t seem like a rational person.” Anthony said, “I’M NOT! I’M NOT! I’M NOT!”
My friend has never been kicked out of anywhere. I hope Anthony gets the help he needs - it doesn’t seem like management is it.
ATTENTION DELIVERY PERSONNEL This establishment practices tip bating. or this was my experience when shopping for them! The order had been sitting for awhile, it was very late but I managed to make it to the store prior to closing. I selected the items carefully making sure none of the items were spoiled or blemished. Upon delivery, the bouncer help me locate the person who ordered or similar which took more time than anticipated, but found him. Later I noticed the tip amount went from $6 to $2. Contacted support for further assistance and they shared no complaints for the items, nothing noted. Although customers have every right to change the tip, I didn’t understand why the drastic change. Had I known up front, I would not have accepted and delivered due to compensation of time, extra effort, etc didn’t align with payment.

I’ve been to this bar several times before without issue—always with white friends. But when I came in July with my fiancée, who is Black, along with a mixed group of friends, we were treated completely differently. The bartender was rude from the start, and after about 30 minutes, she told us they weren’t accepting new members—even though I’m already a member and the others were willing to sign up. She claimed the owner was watching us on camera, which felt invasive and suspicious. As we left, even the bartender’s boyfriend told us he’s seen this kind of treatment before when people show up with Black friends. The bartender later admitted it wasn’t even her decision—it came from the owner.
This place clearly has a pattern of discrimination. I won’t be back, and I don’t recommend supporting them.
