No one greeted us as we stood there for five minutes and despite it stating no smoking on the entrance there were multiple people smoking inside the establishment.

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 hasn't been cleaned in ages. Floor is absolutely disgusting. Bartop is sticky. Did I mention the fruit flies? .. absolutely terrible and disgusting place.

Years ago, a bunch of us went here after my dad's funeral and the staff was so kind. Best burgers in Houston, after Charlie's which closed a long time ago.

60 yrs old...been in a few neighborhood bars over 39 yrs in Texas. John's 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.
