Johnny's Bar & Grill

"A world famous "biker" bar turns snitch!
During the recent Hollister Rally a couple of infamous club members walked in and smacked and kicked a patron and left. The cops came and left after the owner offered the cops a surveillance video. A week later the owner got up before the Hollister City Council and the Chief of Police and publicly announced she had more video if it was needed!
JOHNNY'S  will forever be known as a "snitch bar". Be forewarned!

We stopped in here and were treated rudely when she got around to serving us.  Drinks were thin and expensive - yes we are caucasion tourists.  The locals at the bar acted like we were somehow invading their space, or taking up one of their stools.  It was disappointing.   We left and went around the corner to an awsome hispanic based bike bar / pool hall where we spent the evening having a great time with locals and people watching.

This place is pretty much the embodiment of small town USA (Hollister, CA). Johnny's is an alright place if you have absolutely no expectations of a night out. The patrons are all very old & seem to be drinking their sorrows away. Cheap drinks on the plus side. On the minus side, no young crowd & music is on the lame side. It's not so much the establishment that keeps me away, it's more the people of this sorry one horse town that make me prefer to drink a cold one at home.
