I love this place. Offers something a *little* different than other bars in the area- cool little seating area and delicious food.

Malcolm Ring

You can rely on this place to have people on an off-night when other places may be empty. Cheap beer and a solid cocktail happy hour . Pool table in back, and chair-swing in front you should sit in.

Amanda

Pre and post-pandemic, they continue to serve one of the best chicken sandwiches in the city . Maybe it's marinated in soy sauce and ginger ? So juicy and full of unami.

Michael Fernandez

I used to go here a lot, I don't so much anymore but it's still a good place for drunken hangs.They pour strong drinks ...order one of their boozy slushies ! I always have a fun time at The Johnson's.

Mike Nickerson

Some of the cheapest drinks in NYC! Can't beat $2 beers . Love the chill vibe. Be sure to drink while swinging or lounging on the bed!

Larissa Mattei

Love the vibe. It makes me feel in a old movie ! Great songs, also. Cheap beer !

DoubleDeuce

Divey in back like your 1980's Midwestern uncle's basement where he hungout with his union buddies talking shop but brighter up front where the women gossip and the food is made.

Melanie Bouley

Long long happy hour (YAY) $2 lions heads , $5 cocktails until 9. Definitely nicer than Welcome to the Johnsons in LES. More of a retro vibe. Nice chairs to sit in at the enclosed outdoor space .

Sister bar in Bushwick to the Welcome to the Johnson's bar in the Lower East Side. Way less gritty, but nice!

Alyssa Vansickel

Cheap drinks with a great crowd. Way better then the sister bar in the LES. the music and bar staff is above par.

Lauren F

This place gets hated on real hard but there are adult swings, happy hour goes til 9, and you'll feel like you're on the set of any 1960's tv show.

Octane

This place is tiny like my great grandparent's living room and it gets really packed in here. You may run into Lady Gaga on occasion, though.

David López

Pretty chill place. Perfect for a (2$! ) beer . They have sofas and a pool table . Nice.

Johanna

The Painkillers are good, and $4. Have one... if you don't mind losing the rest of the day (and night).

Noëlle Devlin

It reminds me of a friends parents fancy basement/garage bar . They had me at the hanging wicker chairs !

Anna

Neighborhood staple that is great to meet up and hang out with friends new and old

Jackson Isaacson

Fun young and hip . The only problem is that it's in Bushwick.

Alex Robertson

the peach habanero mezcalarita is sneaky good and they have $3 PBRs

Peter Lok

Cheap drinks , great vibe, and now there's delicious food!!!

Argelys Oriach

The piña colada slushies are very good. Highly recommend.

Tom Meng

Hip little bar . It has a nice front outdoorish area.

Saarim Zaman

$2 lion's head is the move

Michæl Starkey

Great place to get a couple shots and a few beers and then drive home… to heaven.

Becca Bae

Cheap drinks and a weird "my parents upgraded their patio " vibe in the entrance.

Hael Fisher

Cozy spot with great frozen drinks .

Ebby Amir

Emergency exit is misleading. It's like they want you to die here.

Alicia Simmons

The whitest bar I've ever been to.

Kristin P

Good to-go frozens and the food from strange flavor is anything but strange.

Megan

Really cool space, but turned weirdly clubby after 9 on a Friday.

Angela Tsai

Piña coladas yum. Say hi to Sarah!

Nick Foden

$2 Lionshead and $4 Wells . Uh oh.

Maxwell Foxman
