A Friends and I went out on the wet, rainy Valentine's Day this year, 2/14/24. We encountered the Owner who offered us fresh Chicken soup to take the chill out of the night air. 😋 That was my first encountered @ Johnny's. I enjoyed the evening immensely as I met some happy local folks. It was much better than I had expected.

Great place. The locals and staff are amazing people. Drinks and brew are fresh. You have to try Tio's BBQ Some Sunday only, all smoked meats and sides are the Best i have ever had anywhere in California.

Great Biker Bar ! Alot of History and very Historical. The Boozefighters motorcycle Club made history there way back in the 40s. A must see!!!!

This place is a biker haven. The walls are decorated with decades of history from all the clubs. There's a large outside seating area as well as those tables and the rebuilt bar inside. We ordered the Johnny's burger, expecting a normal burger. What arrived were fries and a burger tower, complete with a brand held together with a knife. Split one if you are not really hungry. This HALF POUND burger is all natural and sourced locally, the bun is made at a bakery right down the street and all the veggies sourced from Watsonville. A-maz-ing burger! Only $18! Thank you Pete for the hospitality and a great dinner. Recommended.

Great place with a lot of history! Friendly staff who provide excellent service. Owner is a great host and very happy to share the history of Johnny's Bar and Grill and Hollister with you.

Food was awesome!! My husband had a specialty burger, that was huge! A friend had the club, we could get over how thick it was, delicious! I had a grilled chicken salad, the cook made a balsamic dressing for me, because they had none on the menu. It was so tasty salad was very big, had a lot of "extras" in it. We rode up from the central valley well worth it. Would definitely go again

One of my favorite places to go for an amazing hamburger lots of great food but I truly loved the hamburger

Cool place with so much history. It was loud, but it's a Tavern, nothing unexpected. The food was great! We had an appetizers sampler and the fancy Johnny's grilled cheese. Both were delicious. Our waitress, Sarah, was so kind and friendly, she made us feel welcome and made sure we were enjoying everything. The young man working in the kitchen was so nice and made sure we had everything we needed. Great experience!!

Pretty cool place. The birthplace of the American Biker. It's a biker bar with a ton of history. Its only an hour or so off the 5, stop in, Hollister is a nice little town. There's a tattoo shop right next door so you could get yourself a tattoo while you're there. Very glad I was able to drink some beers in here. Very awesome. Thanks guys. Oh and quit using brioche on cheeseburgers guys...

This was our first time at Johnny's, and we enjoyed it. We sat at the bar, which was fun. We each had a beer and we had dinner. I had chicken sandwich with Swiss cheese and mushrooms (a special) and my husband had a pepper jack cheeseburger burger with the lettuce, tomato, pickles and onion. We both had onion rings as our sides. My chicken sandwich was very good. The chicken was nicely cooked, with melted cheese and mushrooms. The onion rings were excellent, crunchy with the right amount of breading. My husband liked his burger. It had a lot of meat and was a good, solid burger. Service was great and we enjoyed the authentic, relaxed atmosphere. We'll be back.

Depends on what decade your talking about. It's definitely historic. In the late 70's it was the place to get a cheap big fat steak sandwich and talk business on the low low. Pete Vona I think was the owner then. When Charisse and Tom got it the rally started soon after and that speaks for itself. If your a Clamper or a biker your good to go. There is a monumental erection in the yard corremorating Wino Willie from the booze fighters. Lots of events memory's and injury's like any bar. Foods good just gotta find the deals. Pete now has it going good. Of course prices are through the roof everywhere. Start a trend and sell beer door 2.50 again.

Great place, lots of history, the owner is a great guy and definitely motorcycle friendly. The only reason for 4 and not 5 stars, I always leave room for improvement.

Food was great and there is a very nice outdoor seating arrangement as well. Dog friendly, which was greatly appreciated! Bathroom could use updating:)
