In town for some nearby training at Ft. McCoy...
I was antsy to escape the college crowd of La Crosse when I happily found this "hometown gem" (next to Dublin Square).
The atmosphere of this bar was welcoming, non-imposing, and enjoyable. Â Great selection of beer and mixed drinks at an affordable price. Â Total win. Â
It was a welcome change from the shenanigans of the "recently turned 21 crowd" that inhabits much of downtown LaX. Â If looking for a low-key hangout with a crowd that is not ridiculously young, nor scary old, John's is the place for you.
John's Bar is a great example of what a hometown bar should be. The employees are all great- they have good drinks.. better food and reasonable prices.
One note on food is come hungry!! The portions are huge!! I suggest trying their homemade hummus! Delish!!
If you get there early on Sundays it's buy one get one on your first drink! They have a fun, laid back ambiance. The best part is that even though its on 3rd Street you don't get a lot of rowdy college students!!! The people tend to be anywhere from late 20s to 30s, 40s and so on! It doesn't get better than John's Bar!
