Its an icehouse, meaning its a bit of a dive. But its in a good location, plenty of free parking, safe and friendly staff and patrons. Good enough food with friendly service and reasonable prixes. Older crowd, not fancy, just a bar with lots of TVs and a regular loyal repeat crowd. Been there for decades. Large area off to the side of the main bar good for groups. Great to watch major sporting events like play offs and superbowl. Often a free food bar for the big events. Parking: A lot of close free parking, but it fills up fast, so you may have to park at the end of the lot and walk a bit during peak hours and sport events.

60 yrs old...been in a few neighborhood bars over 39 yrs in Texas. Johns has a great atmosphere as a sports bar w/jukebox music & live music. Been there 4 times in last 2 months on a weekend night each time. Only 1/4 times(not a good experience), male customer sitting at bar was very loud & obnoxious to his female companion. The staff & service everytime have been fantastic and customer friendly. Highly recommend this to anyone visiting H town & staying on Westside.

Great place if you enjoy plentiful fruit flies, dirty bar, filthy restroom, most likely disgusting kitchen and annoying regulars who talk/yell more than they breathe. Overpriced drinks by a lot compared to other local pubs. Bartender that pays attention to 1 to 2 people max the entire time and places her foot up on every shelf, cooler, etc available for her to perch. Coolers are not in any acceptable shape. Ice box looks like it hasnt been cleaned in ages. Floor is absolutely disgusting. Bartop is sticky. Did I mention the fruit flies? .. absolutely terrible and disgusting place.

Arguably the best cobb salad in town, with deliciously seasoned chicken and perfectly ripened avocados. Heather and Mindy are attentive and pour good drinks. And theres a little eye candy for you in the restrooms. ;-) Lots of big screens so you can watch the game. Patron and staff alike are friendly and welcoming. Youll become a regular before you know it.

I have never seen free food offered here, but the quality of the purchased food is excellent; considering price and generous portion size, it is a GREAT value! They have a very large outdoor area. They do not offer anyvdraft beer, but their packaged beer and wine list is extensive.

Last time my husband and I were here, there werent any tacky pictures (naked girls in the mens restroom and half naked me in the womens restroom) hanging up in the restrooms. Guess what? Theyre all hung back up. Not only that, but this time, their sign at the entrance has the bars name with girls butts showing. (Right next to a childrens taekwondo business) This is not how to keep valuable customers coming back, its how you lose business and get bad reviews. This will be the last time we go there. Free roll poker is good but not when you have to put your head down every time you need to use the restroom. I would post pictures, but its distasteful and disrespectful. Clean it up and please put the outdoor bar to use. Wasted asset there. I wish I could buy this bar. So many wasted opportunities to make more money..... Clean it up and post pictures and I might change my mind on coming back. Im sure others are thinking the same thing.
