   This place has real potential. The music from a live band was good, not too loud. The service was friendly, but given that the place wasn’t full by any stretch, not attentive. Food was the most disappointing. Rib appetizer, tasty but fatty. Large salad was uninspiring.

   Great service and cocktails…. Our lamb chops came out pretty inedible 😞 too thick, bad quality and rare. We sent them back, our waitress removed from bill and comped us dessert. Will go back, she made it worthwhile

   We had an awesome night, the food was amazing although a bit pricy. If I had to complain about anything, it was a bit dark, hard to read the menu without the light on my cell phone Will definitely recommend and come back

   Experience was fantastic. Food was wonderful. Service excellent. A little on the loud side once the room was filled, but some sound deadening tucked into the ceiling would probably help with that, and not be too detrimental on the aesthetics. Was very pleased to see low and no alcohol choices available on the drink menu.

    I enjoyed the food and the ambience. It was extremely loud but that’s because it had a very exciting vibe. We were celebrating my birthday so they brought me a beautiful crème brûlée with a sparkler in the middle! Loved it.

    Johnny's continues to be one of our go-to spots in Metro Detroit for craft cocktails and great food. The mood of this speakeasy is one of its greatest attractions. The staff is always friendly and fun to interact with. I highly recommend Johnny's to anyone looking for a cool, unique night out with their significant other or a group of friends. You will not be disappointed.

    We were expecting more of a speakeasy experience with more questions “to determine entry,” and 1920’s decor. It was just another bar. It took 20 minutes to get each drink ordered. Our food was cold. They forgot to put salad dressing on the salad. We hoped that this was just an off night.

    Food was really good. Our appetizers came out quick but seemed to be a little cold as if they were sitting. But still very tasty. Drinks were yummy. Seating was a little too close for my liking. We were close enough to be able to hear the conversations of the people seated to the right and left of us. Great overall!

    Johnny’s never disappoints! My favorite is sitting at the bar, because their specialty cocktails are fun to drink and I also like watching the process of them being made. I have enjoyed everything I’ve ordered to eat, but I prefer to dine upstairs at Alchemi and then heading downstairs. The bartenders will keep your waters full, and the ambiance has a true speakeasy feel. I have been a repeat here many times for a reason!

    Anniversary celebrations. Loved the cloak and dagger - it is well done without being cheesy. Our food was amazing and it was delightful to have a dessert brought to the table with sparklers to make it special. Our waiter was odd. I told him I had a sugar probleM but he insisted on bringing me a cocktail that caused my blood sugar to spike! Then once we were done with dinner and wanted to get home he pretty much forgot about us! He meant well with the cocktail but a little training would go far!

    My wife and I had a great time at Johnny’s on a Sunday evening. Our bartender, Joe, was friendly with good recommendations and prompt service. Johnny himself was equally accommodating and pleasant to speak to. Additionally, the live music was great! We hadn’t been back since winter 2020 and will certainly have a shorter duration until our next visit.

    I have to say...they did a good job making it feel like a speakeasy. They text you a secret password and you have to ring the doorbell. However, they could add a little bit more decor. The food and menu was a little disappointing. The one menu I viewed online was different than when we got there. There was no chicken options or vegetarian besides the two salads offered. The salad was pretty good and the salmon my boyfriend ordered was okay. The drinks were decent. Since it was my birthday, the waitress brought out crème brûlée with a candle of fire out to my table. This did make up for the food. Overall, it's definitely a cool place but would not come back based on the food.

    Never comjng back. We were the last party to leave last Friday. My friend’s niece was typing an address on her GPS before heading out in the cold. We get up, head for the the exit, and then hear Shelby (our server) say, “Finally!”. Dearest Shelby, We all heard you. The music was off and we were clearly within earshot and I made sure we made eye contact. You knew we heard you. We weren’t taking our sweet time. Like you, trust me - we wanted to leave too. We have been going to Johnny’s for a while, celebrating special events and occasions, bringing out-of-town guests and visitors. Well we are no longer coming to this establishment and no longer recommending this place to friends, family and co-workers. Going back to Sugar House and Bad Luck Bar. Finally.

    Such a fun evening with friends/co-workers for the holiday. While the menu was somewhat limited, for my taste, everything looked and sounded delicious. We started with the charcuterie tray and mushroom arancini rice ball. 2 of us had the lamb chops and the other had the salmon . We all thoroughly enjoyed our dishes, cocktails and wine. The atmosphere is cool and for the first time in a long time, dug the background jazz/blues tunes playing in the background. It added to the evening rather than distracted from it. Our server Miles, was also good. Not a cheap night but we’ll worth it.
