A neighborhood bar and restaurant built for good food, cold drinks and even better company. We took the spirit of a classic dive bar and gave it a fresh, vintage feelwarm wood, neon lights, big screens, a pool table and a laid-back atmosphere where everyone feels welcome.

Our kitchen serves familiar American favorites with a Johnny Boy twist, including fall-off-the-bone wings, fresh chicken tenders, bar pizza, burgers, cheesesteaks and loaded wedge fries. Behind the bar, you’ll find everything from an ice-cold draft and affordable beer specials to carefully made cocktails and top-shelf whiskey.

Johnny Boy is family-friendly, game-day ready and open late. Come watch the biggest games and fights with the sound on, relax on our string-lit patio or settle in for dinner with friends. There’s no dress code and no pretensejust great food, strong drinks, good people and some of the best vibes in town.
