A "Route 69" highway mural leads down into the dive-y depths of this spacious, hard-day-at-the-office bar. Its logo is Harley Davidson-style, the music classic rock and the menu strictly pub grub. A gritty bar is a gritty bar, and no one's here to toast to a big win on the market--but at least this one's clean and has all the amenities of your favorite hometown hangout--sports, video games, mounted deer heads and a pool table.

I went to John Street with a couple friends of mine that were visiting from Houston. There was a bartender working named Maureen. She was accomodating and totally awesome. She made us feel right at home as soon as we walked in. Try their John St Ale, it was only 4 bucks and tasted great!!! She suggested it when we were deciding. I'd recommend this place to anyone. There was such a diverse crowd there. We had a blast! Not sure which nights she works, but it was a Friday when we went in. Go see her, she's hot!

I READ A REVIEW ABOUT THIS VENUE AND I DONT KNOW WHAT THIS GUY MOCH IS TALKING ABOUT . MY BAND HAS PLAYED THERE THREE TIMES AND HAVE ALWAYS ENJOYED IT. I DONT KNOW IF THIS PERSON REALIZES THAT THE BAND BRINGS THERE OWN CROWD THE BAR DOESN'T BOOK ANYONE IT IS DONE BY O.S. ARTHOUSE. SO IF YOU COULDN'T GET A CROWD THATS THE BANDS FAULT NOT THE VENUE'S. THIS PLACE HAD AWESOME FOOD AND GREAT DRINK SPECIALS SO I DIDN'T HAVE A HARD TIME GETTING FANS OF MY BAND THERE AS WELL.

This bar and grill has a private room where they book live music acts, not that anyone in the bar and grill area would know it. I went to see my favorite band there. There was zero indication that there were live bands playing. The private room is located at the very back with sound proof doors just in case anyone in the bar/grill heard the music and might want to come in and listen. The bands played their hearts out without a virtually non-existent audience. There was a Sure microphones banner at back of the stage. Presumably Sure paid the John St. bar to display it. Sure got ripped off. John St. bar and grill should never repeat never book live bands again. They had no consideration for the musicians whatsoever. Oh, I should also mention that the room was the saddest place ever. Jut a big bare empty room with a couple of couches and hard-back chairs. The only decor was a couple of pieces of tattered tinsel left over from Christmas.
