West End Johnnies

This is the pick of the neighborhood if you’re heading to the Garden but looking to catch a beer, the game and still get a decent plate of food as part of your pre-show ritual. The steak tips and the burger were solid choices. Lots of pull-down projector TV screens hidden in the ceiling so there’s a good view of the game from almost any seat. Staff is friendly and accommodating.

My family and I had a great meal at Johnnie’s. Excellent food, my son had the chicken sandwich, my husband the portabella burger, and myself the steak tips. We all loooved our food! Would post a pic but we ate it all. Francisco was an excellent server, best I’ve had in a long time. 10/10 highly recommend!

We went for Sunday Reggae brunch and what a time we had. The band was off the chain and we enjoyed ourselves immensely. I had the burger, one if my friends had the French toast with ice cream. The had different flavors of mimosa and I had a drink called the pink panther which was fire. Overall this place made my trip to Mass. Above board.

Our party had a great time before a concert at TD Garden. There are lots of decent spots in the area, and I've been to all the old school places over the years. I've also been to a few of the newer trendy ones. West End Jonnie's fits in perfectly and just might be my go to from now on. Attentive staff, great food and reasonable prices, this place in my opinion is a true representation of a real Boston bar, not quite a dive but not pretentious either. The owner made sure to come over and offer to take a picture for us unsolicited. Nice touch! The menu had all the real Boston choices with fish n chips, clam chowder and of course authentic New England steak tips amongst their varied yet uncomplicated choices. Definitely order the buffalo chicken dip as one of your apps... They had a good selection of bourbon and tequila, and while not a ton of beer on tap, my choice of Lunch tasted like it was tapped that day and they had Whirlpool which is brewed like a mile away. Also of note, it was a very clean restaurant. Give this place a try.
