Although this is the second branch of Johnny J's, this feels more like the ignored, bastard child of the one in the valley. Â While the Valley's Johnny J's is large and attracts people from all over the Akron area, this Johnny J's feels small and is ignored outside of the summer months. Â You can still get good deals here, but the beer selection and prices simply don't compare.
The clientele here is also older and is typically local. Â Thursdays and Fridays are the best days if you want to see people who are younger. Â Most of the douches these days drink at the Basement, so I suppose the social scene is acceptable.
The food here is not bad. Â I got a Philly cheesesteak here once, and I liked it. Â I don't remember if it was better than the cheesesteak at the Basement, but I remember it being similar in price and taste.
I would recommend going to Johnny J's in the Valley instead of here. Â THAT is a place that is the shiz.
