Originally opened in 1997 as Johnny's Smokefree. It offered a smoke-free environment in the years prior to the smoking bans now in place. With the law change in 2003 came a name change to Johnny's Irish Pub, which is more in keeping with the ambiance. In addition to the requisite Guinness, you'll find beers from Custom Brewcrafters and plenty of live music (mostly Irish, but not exclusively).

They are located on Culver Road near Merchants. If you know where the old Ladd's bowling or Hitchcock's was, it's in that area. There is plenty of parking right behind the building Johnny's is located in.

Johnny's was voted 'Best Neighborhood Bar' in the 2002 'Best of Greater Rochester' poll in City Newspaper.¹

Johnny's is a fantastic place for people who like beer. It has a much more mature atmosphere than many other bars in town. They have a small menu of traditional pub food, which I've never tried. —AdamDurand
