Forced to wear my t-shirt inside out because of some dumb dress code? Then, was kicked out for putting my shirt back on the correct way in the bathroom. Why do you have dive bar hours and not allow people to wear t shirts? Also, why do you serve drinks in glass to an obviously overserved group of people at 2:30am? Also, why do you not allow drinks on the dance floor? This place is so dumb and nobody should give them business.

I've been going to this place for approximately 2 years, but last Saturday (3/23) I went with a friend and we arrived early to get a seat at the counter. We ordered drinks and stayed at the place for a long time. When we went to order the third drink the waiter (Steven) was very rude and said that he could not serve us any more drinks! I didn't understand why he treated us so badly. We got up and went to the other counter and ordered a drink! It was completely gone and I was very upset! I will definitely look for another place to go as I don't want to be mistreated again

We went on late night Friday about 11:30/12am. There was a line to get in, the wait time was about 20 minutes. People in the line respectful, no one complained for having to wait. There was $10 cover charge, that’s a reasonable price. Once in, wow! It’s packed. It didn’t take long to be served a drink. The dance floor was booty to booty, should to shoulder. It’s a little overwhelming but once I got my groove on, I forgot about the fact that my body was touching strangers. The DJ played a variety of genres, popular songs everyone knows. Rap, county, rock, Spanish, Pop…etc. The demographics were 21 and up, I saw a variety of age groups, cultures, ethnicities, sexualities, and genders. Everyone was smiling, laughing, having a great time. It was Fun! Fun! Fun! I will definitely return. I would like to try their food. Someone was eating, I hope it tastes as good as it looks. I will provide and update on food. Go to Johnny’s and shake your groove thing!

I regret to recount my recent visit to Johnny Hideaway, which left me utterly dismayed and deeply disturbed by the appalling behavior displayed by the manager. From the moment I stepped foot into the establishment, it was evident that professionalism and basic decency were sorely lacking.Throughout the evening, the manager’s demeanor was nothing short of disdainful and confrontational. When faced with a situation where he didn’t get his way, instead of handling it with maturity and grace, he resorted to aggressive and disrespectful behavior. This culminated in me being unceremoniously kicked out of the bar, without any valid reason or justification.Furthermore, the staff’s ineptitude in providing even basic customer service only exacerbated the already dismal experience. It was abundantly clear that a culture of apathy and disregard for patrons’ well-being permeated the entire establishment, with the manager setting a deplorable example for the staff to follow.Such reprehensible conduct should not be tolerated in any professional setting, let alone a place of hospitality. It is abundantly clear that the manager, is not fit to hold a position of authority and responsibility. I implore the management of Johnnys Hideaway to take swift and decisive action in addressing this issue, including the immediate termination of the manager in question. Only then can the reputation and integrity of the establishment be salvaged, and the trust of patrons be restored. Until then, I cannot in good conscience recommend this establishment to anyone seeking a pleasant and respectful dining experience.

Love coming here but unfortunately won’t be back after celebrating my birthday here this last weekend. The bar back completely smashed into me and my friend with a large cart full of ice without so much as a “heads up” or “coming through”. I was standing between two bar chairs. If we both got hit, I am sure there were many other patrons getting run over. I have a background in bartending and spent many years working in Atlanta night clubs, so I do understand how difficult it can be to maneuver in a busy atmosphere. However, running over guests isn’t appropriate. Johnny’s is a great atmosphere but not worth the ankle injury I received while trying to spend money.

Beyond rude waistress for our group during trivia night. Whatever this young lady was dealing with that day should not have been passed on to us. Customer service goes a long way, not to mention we spent a lot of money in this establishment. We do not plan to return.
Very fun
