About Sound Check

Johnny's hosts four nights of vinyl DJ sets Wednesday through Saturday, with selectors spinning funk, soul, boogie, and cosmic grooves. Jen Rock presents Grooves Unlimited on Friday, and Burger Bomb serves burgers all week.

At Johnny's Bar

A dive-y local legend retooled with care. Quaint leather booths, a killer hi‑fi setup, and a jukebox that rocks Iggy Pop and indie deep cuts. Sip strong $5 pints and craft cocktails (their mezcal negroni gets props), all under a mounted deer head and Echoplex-level sound. Weekends bring rotating DJs, foosball and pinball tourneys, and an eclectic crowd of OGs and artsy newcomers.
