Oh Johnny's...when I first turned 21, you could still smoke in bars in NJ and I remember walking in here and you would feel like you are in a scene in Rescue Me. Smoke was all over the place and the morning after you would sniff your clothes and almost call earl, but I digress. The regulars that go to Johnny's spend all day at the bar, don't use Yelp and would probably call hipsters faggots if they stepped foot in here. This is a real dive bar so that means you can get a Yuengling for a $1.50. You have your Golden Tee, pool, and shuffle board. One time a friend of mine once met an off the boat gypsy from Ireland who injured himself from a robbery gone wrong and he ended up passing out on a recliner pissing himself. Total townie bar which you will get dirty looks initially, but they will subside. When in Boonton...
Review Source:If fist pumping and club bangers just aren't your thing you're in luck. Johnny's has had a bad rap but I'm here to set the story straight. Sure, maybe their bar tenders come off just bit rude, but hey with $7 pitchers who could complain. This place could really could be hit or miss sometimes but I've always managed to have a good time. You just never know what the night will have in store for you.
Review Source:If you love dive bars, this is the place for you. Super cheap drafts ($1.50) that can't be beat within a 10 mile radius. Â
Lots of tvs and neon beer signs, a pool table ($1 or $2 per game), a shuffle board, game nights, and bar food from a toaster oven ranging from pizza to super pretzels to a bag of popcorn.
Definitely not classy, but cheap and fun.
I ain't no hillbilly whisperer...but I like this place. Â My bf dragged me and my stilettos there one night and now whenever it comes to 'disappearing' from the face of the Yepasphire to a dive place, this is where you'll find me. Â Lots of locals. Drinks are strong and cheap. There won't be an umbrella in the drink nor should you ask. Everyone is shwaisted. You gotta know someone or be more waisted then them to play pool. Hard core drinkers, firemen, locals. You can follow the crowd of drunks there or from there when they close and they don't necessarily close on time. I get nostalgic about good ol' highschool town of Pburg but forget once I drink myself silly! If you have appreciation for a place like this, then you won't be disappointed.
Review Source:Plan to feel like a country bumpkin. But it's great lol.
This place honestly makes you feel like you're in Hickville - the crowd fits that description well, the lights aren't dimmed, and lots of old dudes get wasted here. But it's a super friendly atmosphere and sometimes you can get beer for under 2 bucks.
If you are not a local, expect to think  "the service is insulting." ( so i have read and heard) the bartenders are very nice, they just aren't conversationalists.  many of them have been there for years, and some are family owners.  besides the unfriendly facade, this place is legendary in Morris County.  Hell, thier slogan is, "For the Coldest Beer in the Hemisphere."  They have a great jukebox, and a classic bar.  Shuffle board and pool are staples.  I think they still have fifty cent drafts.  Try the bar pie (pizza) if you get hungry.  this place is a dive, but worth a try for a night out with close friends.  Great place to people watch.
