Hands down my favorite gay bar in Boonton! Bartender Pete is such a sweetie A guaranteed fun night for bears and twinks alike; with the local patrons being more than willing to give you advice on tools and home improvements. Don't leave before you get a hug from José! PURR read more

Dear Johnnie's, I'm sorry for only giving you 4 stars. I was young and naive. I didn't fully appreciate $2 draft beer and the occasional free sandwich that seems to somehow appear whenever I visit. As much as I thought I liked local dive bars, I'm not sure why I didn't put my stars where my mouth is. Johnnie's is a top notch local bar where you don't have to be a regular to feel like one. I'm finally making this my go-to spot and I would love to see you here, free sandwiches or not . read more

Good people, cheap drinks and always giving back to the community! And above all- behave yourself or get out! Simply a great local bar! read more

Best gay or not gay bar I've ever been to! Unbeatable deals and and amazing pours. I'll like.The tax is included people, it's amazing.

Went here at the recommendation of an acquaintance. Not friendly at all. Cash bar only. No food menu. Only regular beers on tap. The Yuengling tasted bad. It was only $2 but still. Definitely a dive bar. Not for visitors. Only locals allowed. I came for some good beer and good food for lunch. This place has neither. Had I known it was cash only before he poured the beer, I wouldn't have stayed. I felt obligated to use their atm in the back with the high $2.50 fee on a $20 withdrawal. My beer with the fee cost $4.50. I will not be back. There are better and friendlier places in Boonton. read more

Johnnies Tavern - Yuengling Beer - Dive Bars Near Me - Boonton, New Jersey

Strictly on the basis of a watering hole, this is hands-down my favorite dive in the Boonton area. You just can't beat the prices, the bartenders here are cool, the place has mojo in its look and vibe. This is one of my favorite dive bars, period. Highly recommended, go and enjoy. read more

Cheap and Busy Walked in this place on a Sunday night expecting it to slow. We're we wrong. I like everything about the place. It's loud, the patrons are getting drunk, sports on TV, music is playing, shuffleboard table, and sassy bartenders. The place consistently has drink specials every night and you can just tell this bar is neighborhood institution. If you looking to grab drinks and carry on this place checks all of the boxes. Great bar Thanks read more

Inconsistent. Hit or miss. Cheap. It should be. So is drinking at home with your buddies.

If you love dive bars, this is the place for you. Super cheap drafts ($1.50) that can't be beat within a 10 mile radius. Lots of tvs and neon beer signs, a pool table ($1 or $2 per game), a shuffle board, game nights, and bar food from a toaster oven ranging from pizza to super pretzels to a bag of popcorn. Definitely not classy, but cheap and fun. read more

My wife and I just moved to Boonton. While familiar with the area, I had never been to this hidden gem before. After a week of staying in our new home to clean and unpack, we decided to walk the 0.9 miles hoping this place would live up to the hype. It exceeded our expectations! Bartenders and regular patrons were welcoming. Got a beer and a very strong cocktail; for $8.00 back from a $20.00 bill. Both the bartenders and the bouncer were happy to recommend other restaurants in the area. We will certainly be returning! read more

One of those bars where the barman doesn't return your change, assumimg it is his given right to keep it for himself. Unbelievable and so rude. read more

Great local no frills dive bar. This bar may look like an "old man" bar, but it's filled with young folks every night. I always have a blast when coming here and I do go often. It is cash only (atm on site) and they do have carry out goods. Great beers on tap and AMF jukebox app is available. Would def recommend to anyone looking for a chill dive bar. read more

The drinks are cheap, they have shuffle board, pool, and yummy bar pies can't ask for much more! read more

Johnnies Tavern - From prohibition night with Bobby the owner! - Dive Bars Near Me - Boonton, New Jersey

A solid 3.5 (if Yelp gave 1/2 stars). I had to think long & hard about whether to give this a 3 or a 4 but in the end decided to stick with the rating system I use to keep myself consistent... Johnny's is a difficult place to review. The food & beer are average, the service is ok and the atmosphere is pretty much dive bar standard but there's something about the place. Can't put my finger on it - maybe it's the shuffle board, maybe it's just the other patrons. This place is not for everyone but we'll be back for sure! Perhaps after a few more drinks I'll find a way to justify bumping it up that extra star... Cheers read more

Great local hang out. Owner, Bobby, is very hands-on personable and friendly. I remember when his dad Jack used to own the place. Opens early in the morning, and the afternoon happy hour crowd is the best in my opinion. Local hometown bar with a working crowd clientele. Gets loud with the younger crowd as the night goes on. One of the best local taverns I've ever been to. read more

Five stars for being a true local bar. They have held true to the tradition of great beer and drinks at affordable prices. Used to be able to walk there and back from home. If your a snob, stay away, as you probably lack the intelligence to appreciate the place. read more

Johnnies Tavern - a pint of beer on the bar - Dive Bars Near Me - Boonton, New Jersey

Plan to feel like a country bumpkin. But it's great lol. This place honestly makes you feel like you're in Hickville - the crowd fits that description well, the lights aren't dimmed, and lots of old dudes get wasted here. But it's a super friendly atmosphere and sometimes you can get beer for under 2 bucks. read more

Visited on New Years Eve Day. looking forward to a Steinhauser Cousin Get together soon. Thanks to Bob..see you soon! Cuz Sue Steinhauser (Sally's friend) read more

Wonderful bar!! Beautiful scenery many tvs make viewing sports great! Cheap beer cheap pretzels and good vibes . read more

Johnnies Tavern - a group of people sitting at a table - Dive Bars Near Me - Boonton, New Jersey

My family has been long time patrons of Jonnie's- my parents MET here some 25 years ago, as well as where 2 of my uncles met their wives. I spent my 21 here, as did all of my cousins before me. It's a familiar place, it treats its regulars and locals well, and the staff is familiar. No frills, no bells, no whistles, just good cheap drinks with friendly faces. read more

I ain't no hillbilly whisperer...but I like this place. My bf dragged me and my stilettos there one night and now whenever it comes to 'disappearing' from the face of the Yepasphire to a dive place, this is where you'll find me. Lots of locals. Drinks are strong and cheap. There won't be an umbrella in the drink nor should you ask. Everyone is shwaisted. You gotta know someone or be more waisted then them to play pool. Hard core drinkers, firemen, locals. You can follow the crowd of drunks there or from there when they close and they don't necessarily close on time. I get nostalgic about good ol' highschool town of Pburg but forget once I drink myself silly! If you have appreciation for a place like this, then you won't be disappointed. read more

If fist pumping and club bangers just aren't your thing you're in luck. Johnny's has had a bad rap but I'm here to set the story straight. Sure, maybe their bar tenders come off just bit rude, but hey with $7 pitchers who could complain. This place could really could be hit or miss sometimes but I've always managed to have a good time. You just never know what the night will have in store for you. read more

If you are not a local, expect to think "the service is insulting." ( so i have read and heard) the bartenders are very nice, they just aren't conversationalists. many of them have been there for years, and some are family owners. besides the unfriendly facade, this place is legendary in Morris County. Hell, thier slogan is, "For the Coldest Beer in the Hemisphere." They have a great jukebox, and a classic bar. Shuffle board and pool are staples. I think they still have fifty cent drafts. Try the bar pie (pizza) if you get hungry. this place is a dive, but worth a try for a night out with close friends. Great place to people watch. read more

Johnnies will always be our home away from home to unwind with a beer after work, or to hang out with friends and local neighbors. Bob allowed us to host an intimate gathering after an unfortunate event and as always this place really did make us feel right at home. Definitely rated one of the top local dive bars for a reason. read more

This is a great bar that i go to once or twice during the week it has great prices on pitches $6 cant be beat! Its got a shuffle board table one of the few bars in nj that do n a pool table the regulars are friendly and you meet alot of great people recommend checking it out. read more

great neighborhood bar in boonton......been here for the first time w/ my sister having a couple of PBR'S and whisky sours.....friendly svc., nice crowd along w/ good tunes on the digital juke box......not too many places like this in the area anymore so enjoy this one!!.....the place has a pool table, darts and a shuffell board ......also it looks like the toilets are all new ....... read more

Average hole in the wall bar with a table shuffle board, TouchTunes Jukebox (Cost money), and pool table. Only real perk of this place is it's close to everything in town, as well as sells beer after 10 p.m. Give it a try! read more

Sometimes you wanna go where everybody knows your name.. Affordable drinks, great bartenders... Pool table and shuffle board.. I love this bar. read more

Low key... great beer selection... awesome prices... and shuffle board!! What more do you need? This place is great and highly recommended. read more

My favorite bar ever! I love all the bartenders and they have amazing food like gourmet bar pies and artisan pretzels. There burgers are good too! Say hi to Steve! read more

Cheers like atmosphere! Friendly people, inexpensive draft beer, pool and shuffleboard. I felt very comfortable here, considering I only knew the 2 people I showed up with. Definitely recommend this bar to others. read more

There is possibly no cheaper beer in morris county. Great casual hangout bar, shuffleboard, warm snacks, a digital jukebox you can access via phone with a wide playlist including multiple John Williams scores, which typically go over with mixed reactions. One star deducted for overwhelming straightness. read more

I came in. First time here. I actually hear very great,reviews. I came in memorial day weekend . One bar tender not even busy.... ordered a round for 2 girls , bought my frrind a drink and ordered 2 more shots for two more friends and the bar tender was very disrespectful and very rude . My first time here and was a a bad expierence . The bar tender was very rude and gave me attitude. Willnot come back here becuase of how i was treated. Cheap dri ks but very rude. Not worth it read more

This is truly an old school corner bar. Third generation run. Rumored to sell the most draft beer in the State other than sports venues (i.e. The Meadowlands Stadium). I was brought there as a child by my dad to have a draft birch beer while he had a tall, cold one. (Probably illegal now.) Now, I stop there with my 21 year old. I have always felt welcome whether in jeans or a suit. When my family visits from out of state, we all have to go to Steinhauser's (Johnny's). Shot and beer joint? Sure! A true must to be experienced. This is the type of place your father, grandfather and great-grandfather used to go to. read more

Great dive bar and awesome prices. I don't go here that often but every time I have has been a good time.

This is a five star dive bar. It does not pretend to be anything more than a dive bar and it succeeds wildly. Don't expect great food, don't expect fancy drinks. This is a shot and beer type of place with no frills. Most of the patrons are locals. They also have a great shuffle board table. They are even open Christmas Eve. read more

What an absolutely awful atmosphere. The drinks are cheap but the staff has such an attitude problem. My friend walked out the "wrong" door and had a bouncer jump down his throat calling him a "fucking moron". Our party of twelve walked out. If you want to be abused and disrespected then by all means give them your money. If you have a brain in your head, avoid this place like the plague. There are hundreds of other bars with much better service. read more

This bar has everything. Good inexpensive drinks and beers, close to town, friendly atmosphere. If we get out, Johnnies is where we go!

old school real deal. hysterical slogan. lots of firemen - from the co. w/the fastest response rate - cuz the firehouse is next door to the bar. read more

Johnny's Tavern is the best bang for your buck in Boonton. Draft beers range from $1.50 - $3 everyday all day. Tuesday's and Thursday's $1 Bud Light or Coors Light depending on which night, bar pies $5 (delicious), burgers, soft pretzels, fun and friendly atmosphere. And also one of the only regulation sized shuffle board tables in New Jersey! Might not be the fanciest place but definitely a great place to meet up with friends for a cold cheap brew and play some pool or shuffle board. read more
