  This place is a hit or miss depending on the night.  Last time was a hit, if just because of the company.  It is the place to go in Warrensburg probably because the small space makes less people seem like more and it has the largest patio space of the bunch..
  
  Interior is small, but some week nights or summer weekends it can be pretty empty.  Service was a miss inside not because they were really busy, but just not paying attention.  So I went to the patio for my first drink.  At 11pm you could still get a drink, but by midnight you should walk up while you still have something in your cup.  The patio allows smoking so if that is not your thing...  I'll be back because there is really only one other decent choice with the occasional exception.

  Go here to be groped. Go here to beg for service. Go here to sweat. Go here to stay sober.
  
  If you're a "cool kid" go here. But be warned... everyone is apparently a cool kid, so the place is packed.
  
  The place is the closest thing to a club setting in the burg, but fails on many levels.
  
  It's small, crowded, understaffed (at the bar anyway... they have plenty of bouncers), and if it's beautiful weather expect the patio to be closed.
  
  This review is for bar hours only. During the day they do serve food (which is good), but the bar smells and kind of ruins everything else.

  Much like the sterilization of Times Square in the late nineties (except not really at all), Pine Street is merely a shadow of its former glory (?).
  
  The swarms of coeds moving in and out of the strip of bars that lined the historic building on Pine Street, many limboing under the legal age, have virtually fizzled out due to tougher restrictions and fines exacted on bar owners.
  
  Johnny's is a post-"Pine Street", Pine Street bar.
  
  Think about it.
  
  Exposed brick.  Occasional beer pong.  A patio that opens during nice weather and swarms with polo shirts and deep fried skin. Kegs of all the light domestic offerings filling plastic cups with working man's beer. Friendly bartenders and a couple that act as if they were followed 24/7 by MTV film crews.
  
  Your dollar can be stretched as far as that girl working the jeggings.
  
  Want to have a quiet drink?  Don't go on Thursday.  Want to play "Guess What This Rash Is"?  See you Thursday.

  A nice, fairly new bar in downtown with nightly drink specials; tonight was $4 well drinks, which is decent by my San Francisco standards. However,  the difference is that in SF, you get an 8oz. drink for that price; here you get a 16oz. drink! (In a souvenir plastic cup, no less.) Pours aren't hugely strong, so it's easier to enjoy several in a row.
  
  The main bar area has nice atmosphere and a coin-op pool table. During nice weather, the extensive patio area, complete with its own full bar and large-screen TV, is great. "Washers" is a popular game back there until the DJ really gets going around 10. The crowd was light, but in fairness, the college students hadn't yet returned from break. The only problem out back was noise--the DJ was already playing very loudly and when the train went by (literally 2 blocks away), I'm convinced he turned up the music in an attempt to drown it out.
  
  When I finally staggered out to go home, I'm convinced my unsteadiness was due to ear-bleeding tinnitus, not the drinks I'd had.
