Let's talk Tony. Friendliest, no BS bartender who doesn't mess with the drinks, and will take care of you if you take care of him. If you lose something, he'll save it for you, and remember to give it back next time he sees you... as long as he likes you. As a Healdsburg native, I've been here in all situations from a dead weekday to a bachelor party and wedding afterparties. The atmosphere has changed as Healdsburg has changed. It used to be a blue collar bar, but as the wineries grew and attracted tourists and more yuppier and wealthier residents, John and Zekes did nothing to change themselves, and I think that is why it is a popular hang out. When the town is busy, JZ is busy. I would give it 3 1/2 stars. I'm not a constant fan, and usually I'd rather not run into 1/2 my HS classmates, but once in a while I can think of nothing better. read more

This place lost a star for me last weekend. I was in after another party that I had hosted with a group of people - we took over about half the bar, and the place was packed. The popcorn was burnt (boo - but not the reason for lack of star) the service was god aweful. It took forever to get a drink. also, maybe it was my lack of being extremely drunk, but the accoustics in this place suck. way too loud, especially with all the drunks trying to yell over the juke box. I used to think that if it was too loud - you were too old, but this place might have proved that theory wrong. read more

Hello fellow yelpers. I think I can say, confidently, that I can get along with almost anyone (a simple intro, I think) to my experience in having gone to John & Zeke's a week ago while visiting the area and having my oldest son be able to see some of the local colleges. Mind you, my son did not go with me to John & Zekes.....I let him hook up with buddies in the area and I ventured off for a few beers after dinner on two nights. Fortunately, this bar was walking distance for me from our hotel. Thank God, I did not have to drive. I am a beer guy, at heart.....John's didn't disappoint me. And Chris, the bartender and I got along great.....as did the two younger guys seated near by (one, a construction worker/carpenter, the other a student at Santa Rosa JC.) The DB level was fine, nothing overwhelming. The crowd, basically, was younger, some couples, but mostly single guys out for a late night infusion. I had a good time, hopefully you will too. read more

Shuffleboard Fun bartenders good prices close to stuff downtown not pretentious like much of Healdsburg. The end read more

This place is great. I don't get it with all these 3 and 4 star reviews, you read them and they have nothing bad to say. Well how about 5 stars, people. Wth?? This is a dive bar so I don't know what you are expecting but as far as dives go this is it. The selection is great, the prices (for Healdsburg) are reasonable and the owners are awesome. Mike works his tail off and he's a super friendly guy. I'm a local and seeing these less than 5 star ratings from out of towners puts a bee in my bonnet. If you don't have anything bad to say then leave 5 stars, just like I am now!! :) read more

Great bar if you're visiting the area. They have shuffle board, a pool table and darts. The drinks are pretty cheap and it's right on the square. They also accept credit cards. The crowd seemed to be all tourists or college kids but that doesn't mean I didn't have a great time. If you're staying in Healdsburg or grabbing dinner on the plaza this is a great place to continue your buzz. read more

This is a nice, little neighborhood bar right in downtown Healdsburg. Not only do they have an awesome shuffleboard, they have pool and pinball. It's low-key and the bartenders are friendly. A great place to kickback for a while, play a game and/or have a beer. read more

Had fun ran into old friends. The bar is nice has two pool tables and a dart board. The bar is fun and up beat. Check out the boar behind the bar it always makes me laugh. read more

Very friendly bartenders who pay attention to whether you have a drink or not, and if you don't, offer you water. Sound silly but believe me, it makes you feel like you're being taken care of! Pretty loud atmosphere. Cuz. It's. A. Bar. Great pre-dinner drinks spot. read more

Came here after wine tasting all day in sonoma county the day after thanksgiving. It was packed at about 6pm. The bartenders are super nice and make the drinks well and not too bad priced either. This bar is definitely not an upscale but not so much as a dive either. They have shuffle board, pool table and the bar is a pretty good size. We were there for only a bit but it was a nice experience. Since we have a cabin up there I will definitely be coming back. If you're in healdsburg, check it out! read more

I love a good dive bar and this place is certainly the local hot spot for kicking it. In an expensive wine-centered town, such as Healdsburg, this was a welcome reprieve. Drinks were reasonably priced, locals were cool and it really wasn't as divy as most I've been in. Pretty clean, wasn't overly crowded on a Thursday night and was easy to get a drink. I'm a fan! read more

What a gem ! I travel a lot & love to check out old bars along the way , so I've been to many . Must say , this will be on the top of my favorite list . Got lucky enough to come on a night one of the owners were bartending . What a great guy ! Great crowd . Free shuffleboard , jukebox playing all night . I love this bar ! read more

Good locals bar, a bit on the dive side but hey some of my favorite bars are straight dives. Was here last Sat at about 11ish, it was packed and I liked that. A great mix of young 20-somethings and older folks to, everyone was having a great time. We shared a table with a group of younger couples and within the hour we were buying them drinks and they were doing the same for us. If your in Healdsburg and don't want to belly up to one of the fancier bars in town and there are many of those-if your looking for a good neighborhood bar and don't mind a few crusty patrons, this is your place. read more

Being in this bar is like a high school party in a hallway. John & Zeke's has been THE tourist trap bar in town for years. There's nowhere to sit where you won't get elbowed in the head or beer spilled on you. Slow service, wine-drunk tourists, bad music, the list is endless. Avoid at all costs. read more

This bar is epically chill! They have an awesome shuffleboard that is in excellent condition, and you don't even have to pay to play. Great place! read more

Pretty cool place, clean and well done dive that feels welcoming and not too low ball, but come on guys, an 8ft curtain as the privacy on the toilets??? Spent a few hundred bucks and build some out of wood. Haha read more

The sexy large bartender with the glasses loves Big Pimpin and I love him. Chill with the local cools til the wedding parties roll in. Good shit! read more

This must have been the official "Wedding After Party" for several celebrations last weekend. I spotted two brides and tons of bridesmaids and groomsmen. I actually felt a little out of place, like i was actually crashing the wedding. I spotted a few locals, although if I were one, i probably wouldn't have been very happy with my bar being invaded. Overall, this was a fun spot with a happy marriage-bliss vibe. read more

Tony's the best. When it's 11PM and you got the munchies - have him fix you a hot dog. It's just a bar. Great location. Low key. If you want "fancy", go to Barn Diva. read more

A great dive bar in the middle of the (sometimes too-upscale) square. Nothing fancy, and just what the Dr. ordered!

We held the afterparty of our Sept 2019 wedding here in the back room and had a great time! They were super flexible and accommodating, and it could not have been more chill. The fee to rent the room was super reasonable - much better than any other place we could have gone - and we were allowed to bring in our own speakers / DJ. We also had pizza ordered and they had tables set up for us to serve it on. They provided a bartender, and we could also order at the front bar. The atmosphere was relaxed, people danced and talked, and it was a great way to keep hanging out after the wedding without paying a ton of $$. Thank you John & Zeke's! read more

We went into this bar last night after the tuesday night market. The bartender was an absolute prick. I dont care if a bartender isnt particularly friendly, but this guy was just rude. I will not be going back. read more

Like the place. I guess they have the best hot dogs LOL! I had one they weren't kidding well after a few drinks anything is the best! Well I will be back for the hot dogs and the atmosphere, it's a locals bar, it's always busy it's always fun! read more

Fantastic dive bar. Good clean fun. There are pool tables, dart boards, fun side shows, everything you would want in a great dive bar!!! Not for the prissy or girly girls. read more

A true dive bar in every sense of the word. Cheap drinks, surly service (although the bartender was really a sweetheart) and gruff regulars with hearts of gold. One of our crew almost got into a fight with a biker that was his fault. But after a few drinks and several apologies all was forgiven (thank god). Will definitely be back. read more

Who doesn't love a great dive bar? John & Zeke's recently moved into their new space (the old B&B) and it is wonderful. Pool tables and shuffle board are great entertainment but it is the bartenders that make this place what it is. Yes it is jammed pack on the weekends and a good vibe during the week. Always feel safe like you are with family. Oh did I mention the drinks? Made just the way I like them, no sissy pours here. Thanks Tony, Mike and the rest of the gang for such a great hangout!! read more

The best thing about this place are the people. We needed a fourth for shuffleboard and we were easily able to recruit someone to play with us (of course he crushed us). The beer is cold and is reasonably priced- a refreshing change from the wine tasting madness. read more

I have been here twice and I love this little bar! If you're looking for something unpretentious in Healdsburg, look no further! It's a bar where all the locals come after work and often times you'll see the same people who were just serving you wine tastings across the street, ordering a beer beside you an hour later. In a town full of new, upscale and somewhat over-rated cocktail lounges and restaurants, John & Zeke's Bar keeps it real and everyone in here seems like family! read more

Real good for a dive bar. Fun on a Saturday night. Cheap beers, pool, and shuffle board. The bathroom had a curtain rather than a stall for the pooper, so that's the only minus star. Otherwise 5 stars read more

One of the closest things to a dive bar in the area. The got booze and hot dogs, take your pick.

Laid back, beer drinkin joint with a good juke box. Shuffle board is also a plus.

My favorite neighborhood bar (AKA dive bar) around. You got shuffle board, pool, darts and the best bartender ever - TONY is the bomb! Great strong drinks and Tony remembers exactly what you ordered. I love this place but watch out for the cops that follow drivers on your way home. They suck! read more

My favorite local bar when I am in town! Fun, casual atmosphere. Crowd ranges in age, good variety of music to choose from in the jukebox. If the bartenders don't know how to make a drink, they are open to testing it out. read more

Fun and funky locals bar with awesome bartenders, rocking jukebox, pool and shuffleboard. Our favorite spot in town to hang whether it's early on a tueaday or last call on Saturday. Cheers to Mikey and Tony and Big Pete! read more

Cute little dive bar -- an oddity in affluent Healdsburg. We enjoyed some beers here while waiting for a table at Scopa next door. We chatted with the friendly staff and patrons and enjoyed the shuffleboard table. read more

Dive bar but very fun. We came here with a bachelorette party and the bartenders were very nice and fun.

Was my favorite after work bar circa 2000-2002. Eric, a transplanted New Hampshire native and bartender always had the Red Sox on, and I loved him for it. I always felt like a local, and had great conversations with all sorts of people from all walks of life as we celebrated the end of the work day. Was never there much late-night, but really enjoyed the blue-collar afternoon scene, and my many afternoons there. read more

Once again went to John and Zekes and it was a blast. Was with some friends from out of town and we all had a good time and as usual place was busy. Tall bartender was not as nice as Tony, but Chris is still the best. Took his time to help us with picking wineries for wine tasting as well as a place to eat.. will keep coming and bring my friends. And the shuffleboard they have is great fun. It can be sometimes loud, but the music is always good. read more

BEST BAR IN HEALDSBURG! The bartenders here are great and it's not overpriced like everything else in Healdsburg. If you are looking for a fun, upbeat place to grab a few drinks this is it. It will be noisy and packed on Thursday-Saturday so if that bothers you this wouldn't be the place for you to go. It's also a great place to grab a hot dog and a beer and watch the game. read more

Me and a friend were driving out from San Francisco in 2006 while visiting the US from England, we stumbled across a nice little town called Healdsburg, a friendly place with good food in a few different places and one great bar, John & Zeke's! Very friendly staff who remembered what you drank, very good prices (even better for us as we're used to English money, so drinks were half price!). Half decent jukebox I thought, seeing as most in pubs are terrible. Mostly stuck to Stevie Ray Vaughan as I was into blues quite a bit at the time. Nice to see a couple of pool tables too, played loads met some nice people, played doubles, played a guy from 'out of town' Santa Rosa which was the next town over I think? Also met a couple of lads who invited us back to their place for a birthday party, free drinks and food the next day! Barman also mixed a good White Russian. I really can't think of a bad thing to say about the place, perhaps a little quiet at times but that's hardly a criticism. Great prices, great service, great people. Stayed in town for a few days and rented a fast speed boat on Lake Sonoma with a provisional driving license, I recommend doing the same - might want to have a full driving license though - we somehow managed to get away with renting two different cars in the US without! (and the speed boat : ) Luckily didn't get pulled over, mind you cop probably wouldn't have known any better. read more
