Whiskey John’s Restobar

A fresh do-over for the former West Side Pub and Grub. Nicely decorated with plenty of seating.A group of 8 ladies had lunch on a Tuesday and were seated right away. Waitress was prompt and food arrived hot and all at the same time.Offerings include a variety of sandwiches and salads, along with typical pub food. My tenderloin was great!No smoking. Parking in rear and entrance at side of building. An outside patio is in the works. Live music several nights a week, karaoke too.

A couple of years ago some coworkers told me that if I was ever in shelbyville to go to Westside Pub. Fast forward to today, finally made my way to the location and it's now Whiskey Johns -- a smoke free and recently updated dive bar with still exceptional bar food and a really awesome bartender. We bellied up to the bar for food and drinks but ended up sitting and talking to locals and the bartender for over an hour. We came midafternoon and beat the rush. All of the tables were reserved tonight (!). The Cadillac wings, fish and spicy cheese cubes all were very good and we look forward to coming back again!
