West End Johnnies

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.

I went there for a birthday brunch to listen to some music which was great! On Sunday the reggae band was good. That's what saved the mail. There was a group of us about 12. The waiter took everybody's order. I had the BLT sandwich and I ordered a nice beer to wash it down. After one set from the music most of the food came. Couple of people did not get their food at all and one person sent back their food and got their replacement and those people who didn't receive their food from the original order still didn't get their food. Very disappointed in the service. The food was good and the band was good. That's why I gave them two stars. Other than that, no accommodations were made. We asked for the manager. No one showed up at the table and the people who didn't get their food ended up leaving because we're hungry. Very disappointed after hearing such good things about their food. The entertainment was on point but everything else bad. I don't know if I'll be coming back or recommend anyone to come back if they can't handle what they advertise

Awesome place everyone was friendly from the hostess to the other guests... Rachel the bartender makes a delicious margarita and Santiago our server was excellent.... Plus the live reggae band Errol Strength and Conscious reggae band the Best!!!

Inside the restaurant is loaded with sports memorabilia. We ordered the burgers and they arrived over cooked and with stale buns. The service was great and they swapped the buns out. I would return for drinks but not for the food!

Had the wings,they were great. The steak tip dinner was good,just wish mash potatoes had garlic or something added. They were a little plain. The drinks were good too. Overall,we liked it there.

Johnnie and his bartenders are phenomenal people. Had a night that looked to be a bummer turned around and made into an absolute blast. The hospitality was amazing and the service was even better. Definitely will be back soon.Food: 5/5

Best brunch spot in Boston. Great spot to watch games aswell or just to grab some food. Staff was nice and cool. Good vibes and good live music. Definitely a new favorite spot to go to. Try the Fluffernutter French Toast with Ice cream will not disappoint. Place can get really packed though sometimes and wait times can be crazy.

Overcharged and overrated. Paid $20 cover to listen to Kelly Clarkson and they didn't even have liquor on hand to make proper drinks. I also tried to call because they overcharged my card even though I closed and signed my tab, haven't been able to reach anyone...skip this placeFood: 1/5

Stopped in to West End Johnnie's for dinner before seeing Cher at the garden. We were told a 30 minute wait and decided to wait. While we were waiting we ordered the meatball appetizer. We ate the meatballs on the couch while waiting for a table. There were a couple of other groups doing the same. It was fun, and we decided to order dinner on the couch as well due to time constraints. We ordered fish & chips, and braised short ribs. Delicious!!

Probably one of the most inhospitable restaraunt experiences I've ever had. Like, our waitress didn't do anything "wrong." but she wasn't attentive, barely at our table, and really just seemed like she didn't want to be there. As for the food, I had the fried chicken w/ cheesy grits and gravy. The gravy and grits were pretty good, but the chicken was surprisingly bland and uninspired. I dunno, I'll give it another shot, but I wasn't bowled over first time out.
