Another great night at Johnnie's with friends...
Neighborhood bar that welcomes you right in!
This is it!

Yes, that's a Stroh's. And the Blatz in a can was so cold it burned my throat- in a good way!

Back room. Pinball, juke box, life.

The best hole in the wall bar you will ever go to!! The inside gives off vibes you can rarely find anywhere else in Columbus! The deals are great and the drinks you get are awesome! There are free snacks, which is a nice homey touch!! I love the locals, they are a hoot! I came here with a bit groups of friends and I will be back! Worth the drive!

Smelly dive bar with cheap drinks and local flavor vibes. Most of the bartenders are nice. Heads up: cash only.

A mix of positives and negatives. Small, which is okay by me. Definite "neighborhood bar" atmosphere, some of the older regulars were pleasant to chat with while at the bar. There's no music playing, only a pay-to-play electronic jukebox that has lots of 25¢ songs, bummer. This bar only serves alchole (full bar and beer), no food, but you're welcome to bring food in. I do like the down to earth vibes here. They do have one pool table, $1 per game, which is fun.

Great dive bar. Cheap beer/drinks. Cash only which is cool. Reluctantly let us run a tab.

Best dive bar in Columbus and maybe the world. They only accept cash and the pool table is nice. The regulars are entertaining. Fun cheap booze what could be better?

Johnnie's has cocktail prices that are some of the best around. It's much cheaper than any bar in the 5th Avenue area. That's really the biggest reason to think about coming here again. All the hipsters want to find the worst bar possible, so they should check this out. The bar is not a beautiful place but the cocktails can make it better. I was horrified the first time coming here. It's an abysmal looking dive bar. The bathrooms are revolting. It has single toilets in each and the men's room door won't lock. The best thing is the really cheap cocktails. It has whatever for about $2 even when it's not happy hour. The name says it's a grill but there's no food here except the bags of chips. It used to cook food long ago. The food must not have been good. It's okay because there's other bars there with food and there's the Chinese restaurant. The clientele is an interesting bunch. It has the wannabe hipsters trying to impress their friends about how they find the worst dive bar. There's also the one skank covered in makeup here all the time. I would come again if invited for cheap cocktails. It's some of the cheapest beer and cocktails. There are many bars in Columbus that are cleaner, but they don't have the cheap drinks, and there can be some interesting people watching.

A+ neighborhood bar, cash only but when the beers are $2, it doesn't matter. Local crowd is nice and friendly. They have a pool table but enough tables and TVs to sit and enjoy a game. Will definitely be back.

Went Johnnies to Glen Avenue Grill, It was midnight, there open til 1Am, 5 mins later 3 PATRONS walk in , Bartender, Stef, tells them they are no longer serving, wasn't nice about it, in my opinion, told them to go to Burns Pub on third ave, way to lose customers, Johnnies on Glenn Avenue

Holy nostalgia, Columbus! In town for the OSU lacrosse game and visited Johnnies on the recommendation of a friend. Snacks outta large plastic tubs, old school beers, and a juke box playing Patsy Cline. I felt like I was back at the neighborhood bar my grandpa used to drag me to ("shhhh, don't tell your grandma!") I fell madly in love with this place, and if you're missing the days gone by, pop in, they've never met a stranger and you'll feel right at home!Tip: cash only

I don't get there that often but without a doubt it is the best dive bar in Columbus hands down! Great patrons and nice staff!
