Good for people watching 6/9/2010

This place has been around for ages and it stays open pretty late. Drinks are decent but the best part is definitely the people watching!! more

Great value 10/4/2008

A place where you have to go in knowing what to expect, a dance club for people 30 to 70. It takes a little time to get used to but if you like strong cocktails and top 40 dance tunes, it's for you. Everyone is smoking but they finally renovated the bathrooms. Pros: value, no-hassle Cons: crowded on weekends more

No excuse for rude valets...dont frequent Johnnys 5/24/2008

I have worked for almost 20 years as a restaurant manager in the Buckhead area. Saturday, May 25th I dropped by Johnnys for a nightcap with several employees of mine from the restaurant. I had parked in the lot adjacent to Johhnys, but my fellow co-workers innocently pulled into the Johnnys lot and parked in the first available space. (It was about 2am in the morning) The valets started yelling at him that the lot was valet only, so the driver got out of the car and promptly tipped them $5 for the space. Evidently this wasnt good enough for one of the valets as he started threatening my employees that if they didnt tip the valets, they werent getting into the club. I was aghast at this behavior and would like to discourage anyone that reads this to consider going to a different club where they have a clue what "hospitality" means. In addition...this club is all washed up anyways ...it used to be an Atlanta landmark, but now that it has been sold to new management, it has gone down hill fast. Cons: RUDE VALET more

good for a fight...not a dance 3/30/2008

the crowd has changed and it is not the same. Too many fights and it appears they no longer care for the "older" crowd that supported them in the past. I won't be back. Pros: it used to be good Cons: the crowd has gotten young and the music with it more

Mariothe Italian 5/14/2007

I always have a great time going to Johnny's. Great music, girls and drinks. I enjoy their Sinatra singer Pat Sallarulo. Always puts on a great show. Mark Phillips does a nice job as Elvis. Go for a fun night out. more

Party like its 1979! No where else to throw on the Ascot and double breasted blazer and boogie down on the disco floor or have scotch in the Sinatra room. more

avoid all together!!!! 8/26/2006

rude bouncers, angry bartenders, absent owner. old men and women who need to be spending their money on fashion and botox. the young crowd comes in, but the dance floor is so small that you get banged and bounced around. old dancers have no floor manners either. i guess if you are looking for pimps, prostitutes, and not being treated as a patrion this would be the place for you!!!! Pros: free to get in Cons: old crowd. no fashion. tiny dance floor. more

a mirage 8/19/2005

this bar is great for locals. the locals frequent this bar to drink and and drink, its like a family. No outsiders permitted. the food is okay. the bartenders especially on a friday night need more help. the music is great, then the dance floor is too small, you are bumping into people. The most misleading factor about this place is that its cited as an over thirty singles spot, the truth of the matter, is this not a modern day single bar. I t is a masqurade for single women to lead you on. there are many better clubs for meeting singles. Pros: music Cons: crowded, false women more

old folk fun 6/26/2004

My husband and I went to Johnny's on a Saturday night and really enjoyed ourselves. It is nice to see a nightspot where most of the crowd is over 40 but still very active and fun. Everyone we met was very friendly and the music and dancing were great. I would say it is a great singles scene too where you don't have to be judged along side 22 year old hot chicks and hard body guys . Pros: good music, nice crowd more

Not just for the "Empty Nesters!" 10/29/2003

Johnny's has become a favorite hang-out for me and my friends, who range from early 30's to 50 years old. The club plays great music, although the night typically starts with swing and moves into more modern fare after 11:00. The crowd includes lots of singles in their mid 30s to mid 40s. The staff members are absolutely wonderful. After the change that I've seen in Buckhead in the last year, I'd head to Johnny's any day! The place is loads of fun! Pros: Great crowd, Attentive Staff, No cover charge Cons: Crowded Dance Floor, crowded bar area, Rsvd table seating more

Best Dance Bar In Town 2/1/2003

This is the best dance bar in town. they have a wide age range that gets younger as the night goes on. The music range is fantastic any age can enjoy. Cons: Need to expand more

Johnny's is a place to see and be seen. The music is oustanding, and the staff seeks to meet the needs of the patrons. It is a place for the 30 something professional crowd. Pros: music, drinks, clientel Cons: parking, smoke more

Editorial

  • In Short
    Talk about not having boundaries. This is like walking into a movie scene from another decade… made about another decade. Disco balls, old-school cigarette machines and cocktails served in goblet-like glasses cement the fact this dimly-lit, gaudy room isn’t like many others in our city. Gangs of the young, Buckhead set dance alongside the cut-a-rug mid-50s crowd, making it feel like a youth-invaded cougar-fest. Bouncers keep a close watch and looklike they just escaped from the mafia, strictly patrolling everything from the dress code to those sneaking drinks on the dance floor. All this seems strange when compared to the trendy bar-options in our nightlife-happy city, but Johnny’s is constantly packed. Maybe it’s throwing down with the older crowd that keeps things loose, or the wedding-reception-like excuse to dance, but for whatever reason, it’s tough not to have fun. Embrace it.
