But it was ok. We had great service. And the drinks were actually pretty good excellent spot for a good times. Good drinks and great pizza. read more

Johnny's Saloon - Amazing pizza!!! Great topping - Dive Bars Near Me - Huntington Beach, California

You must be adventurous and patient if you want to try this pizza. The 4 stars is for the slightly confusing ordering/pick up process. You don't actually get the pizza at the saloon, you have to text, and then drive a short way down Beach Blvd. You pick up the pizza at some random store front but it is so good! It will be one we eat often. read more

As for drinks my go to is the old fashioned which tastes the exact same each time. read more

Got pizza to go, but got a drink here while waiting. Still enjoy the place and the staff. The pizza is the bomb, big and reasonably price. They don't make it there but they got it delivered to them. The drinks are great and stiff with great, friendly and funny service. Parking can be a killer but if you lucky and got a spot in the lot, then you're set for the night. read more

I ended up here after we got the date of a fair wrong It was such a good turn of events, though. As fans of rock music and pizza, appreciated the restaurant a lot. The options seemed intimdating but the waitress gave her recommedations. It was appreciated and we had a good time! We must have also just missed the rush at about 7pm on a weekend because when we were eating there was no seating left and we saw people walk out. read more

Johnnys is mine and my friends FAVORITE hang out spot. The drinks are incredible and EXTREMELY decently priced. They hook you up on the booze and the times had here are always so phenomenal. The pizza is the best out there, This place definitely is reputable for its delicious variations of pizza they offer. Each one's them is fantastic, the bar tenders and bouncers are all really nice and welcoming and set the right vibe for the place. There's nothing I'd change about here, I love coming here and will continue to enjoy my experiences here. read more

I need to speed through the obvious to get to the main point of this review. The pepperoni pizza is tops; the bar staff friendly; the decor is all kitschy rocker nonsense. Sure, okay, done. Now, what I need to tell all about is the Dirty Donald ride in front of Johnny's Saloon. At some point in his life, Dirty Donald was a regular Donald Duck ride. This Duck probably had a decent part or full time job at Disneyland. That all changed when this Donald grew a mustache, quit his job, and started hanging out in front of saloons. Dirty Donald's popularity probably peaked at Johnny's, which is why he is still there. I do not know whether he offers free rides to the curious female and male clientele, or they ask him. I do know that plenty of photos exist of people sporting ear to ear idiotic grins as they ride Donald's fuzzy bill off into a blue yonder of bliss. This duck never gets tired, and the coin feeder is broken, so everyone rides the duckstache free of charge. How many hearts has Dirty Donald broken? How many innocent paramours has he led down a wild, brush heavy route? The rule of the road is ride or die. Dirty Donald's only rule is ride or sigh. I hope most still choose backache to heartache, and that Donald stays as dirty as the day the mustache arrived. read more

I think they're closed. Called a few times on a Saturday and no one answered. I'd say to look elsewhere.

Another amazing night at Johnny's! Delicious pizza, cold beer, loud music and great company at the best dive bar in OC! Consistently read more

I never understood why people wrote multiple reviews for the same place- but here I am. If I could leave Johnnys a 6th star I would. I've had Johnnys now for a couple months and it's consistently amazing. I learned the dough is fermenting for 3 days before being used and that would totally make sense since I don't feel gross after eating a whole pie to myself! Genuinely the best pizza I've had. I might be back for a later review hehe read more

A hidden local gem in HB! Johnny's Saloon serves up great drinks and their pizza is fantastic. The service from the staff is fantastic and they are so friendly. I love the atmosphere when you first walk in and you see all the cool memorabilia on the walls and the dim lighting adds to the overall vibe. They have a pool table that you can use later at night and there's plenty of seating available and at the bar. Drinks here aren't too expensive and they have a pretty good whiskey list. I got several of their old fashioneds and they were strong but good. Their pizza is absolutely underrated and I highly recommend ordering one if you are going with a group! We ordered the Another One Bites the Crust and it was delicious. It's freshly made to order and they pack it with toppings. Parking is available but a little tight and I recommend parking next to Donuttery next door! read more

Johnny's Saloon - Another One Bites the Crust Pizza Schmedium - Dive Bars Near Me - Huntington Beach, California

Johnny's Saloon is my fave bar and pizza joint in Orange County. Like, I'm serious. I haven't been to a ton of pizza restaurants nor have I been to all the bars. It's not that. It the feeling of comfort, whimsy, authenticity, and rock n' roll that is most heartwarming. Why try all the bars and pizza joints when you found both in one go? I tell everyone about the Croatian pizza and the Disney-themed restroom. The Ramones greet you and you ride Donald Duck inappropriately. Intrigued yet? Does she speak in riddle? I dare you to find out. read more

Came from AZ and stopped here one night and it's now our new favorite spot out here! The staff is 10/10 they were all super kind and cool to talk to. They played good music and the drinks were really good and for good prices. Not to mention the inside is just super dope, super laid back vibes. Definitely recommend!!! read more

Johnny's Saloon never disappoints the customer service here is top-notch, everyone treats you like family from the moment you walk in. And the pizza? Easily some of the best I've ever had. Perfect crust, amazing flavor, and always fresh. I live up in North Orange, but I still make the drive down as often as I can because it's just that good. Whether you're coming for a chill night, great vibes, or that unbeatable pizza, Johnny's is the place to be. read more

Just recently discovered Johnnys Saloon in Huntington and have now been a handful of times. It's a hidden gem with lots of Hollywood memorabilia including signage, old photos, movie props and more. As soon as you walk in your eyes need to adjust to the dark lighting inside, but then you are overcome with all of this cool stuff hanging on the walls and ceiling. The service is always friendly and helpful with recommendations or questions. There's a pool table to play with friends and plenty of bar seating and table tops for eating/drinking. They have plenty of drinks and shots to choose from, decent prices too. If anything, go for the pizza!!! My favorite part about the menu are the names to all the pizzas. I'm sure anything you pick will be just as delicious! It's a secret where they get the pizza from, but trust that it's always fresh and tasty to enjoy! read more

If you're looking for the perfect combo of punk rock vibes, amazing pizza, and well-priced cocktails, this place is it. Hands down the best pizza in California--the dough is perfection, and the ingredients are as fresh as it gets. I got the Make It Funky pizza, and it was next-level--sweet, spicy, and savory all at once, with real fresh pineapple, onions, and jalapeños that actually bring the heat. The cocktails? Surprisingly well-crafted and affordable, which is rare these days. The whole place just nails it--great energy, solid service, and a killer playlist. Whether you're here for the food, drinks, or just the vibe, you won't be disappointed. 5 stars all the way! read more

Great little corner bar. They make an excellent manhattan and have a good whiskey list. If you're hungry, you can order in good pizza too

I went to Johnny's Saloon because I saw the reviews on Yelp the delicious Pizzas they make. I wanted to test it so I brought my mother with me to try it. The Saloon was hard to find because it was in the corner passed the Chevron gas station right behind the UFC store. When I walk inside the atmosphere seem kind of dark. I was thought it was Halloween theme. I ordered the 5 Topping option called 9-5 with Pineapple, HoneySmoked Canadian Bacon, Jalepeno, Italian Sausage and Pastrami. The kind server Johnny was really nice gave me two glass of water for my and my mother and told us it would be 40-min to an Hour Wait. That has been longest I've waited for a Pizza but it was delicious, No Complaints. Definately go back for the pizza again. It was so big we had the rest of it to go. read more

I'm saddened to say that tonight was the last time I'll visit Johnny's Saloon after a very uncomfortable situation my boyfriend and I had with the owner. To preface, we have been here plenty of times and receive nothing but the best service and amazing pizza. However, after miscommunication with a worker about ordering pizza and redeeming rewards, the owner approached us with hostile and unprofessional behavior. Rather than speaking to us about the situation calmly, he cursed at my boyfriend and berated him. Though we will miss Johnny's Saloon, I am glad that we are able to see the true colors of the owner and how he runs his business. read more

Great service, great drinks but owner ended up cursing at me over a miscommunication. My lady and I come often, came today for drinks. Our waitress asked if we planned on ordering pizza and I said we had to do pickup through text service to redeem my free pizza. She then offered to get it delivered so we didn't have to pick up. Upon arrival, they asked me to pay full price rather than redeeming my free pizza like I originally planned on doing. I explained situation to the waitress and she said her hands were tied. I had to talk to the owner,. He came out and called me "f**cking difficult" and to just "pay the pizza this time" and get it free next time. So sad bc how much I love this place and the workers Didn't expect to get cursed out by the owner himself and disrespecting me :/ read more

Great local whiskey bar! If you ask for advice, all the bartenders are there to assist. They even own a pizza shop and will deliver there.

This is an OC bar, that's all I will say. Even if you are not into the bar scene, go for the pizza! Parking is a real hassle. read more

Highly recommend this place! We got 3 schmedium's and it was very easy to order by texting them. We did a scheduled to-go order and they were very prompt with timing, which I love! Next time I'd try a spicier pizza :) the inside of the pick up spot is very cute, lots of kitschy stuff like stickers, aliens, signs, etc. Love a place with character! read more

If I was a drink after a hard days work type of guy, this would be my place. Couldn't stop looking around, there are some many things on the walls and ceiling. The bathroom is awesome. Only down side is there is no lock on the door or wall between the toilet and urinal. You can go number 1 while holding hands with your buddy as he goes number 2. Johnny and the bartenders are extremely nice with great, positive attitudes. We came in to celebrate my nephews 21st and they made it memorable in the best way. It is a little dark inside and my eye-site isn't the greatest so it was a little hard for me to see the menu and all the art work. The pizzas are worth the wait. Fresh out the oven with fresh ingredients. Best pizza I've had in a long time. Maybe I'll be a pizza after a hard days work kind of guy with this place. Highly recommend coming and trying it out. Drinks and pizzas are great prices and are delicious. read more

Shout out to Lindsey and Rachel literal sweethearts! I came across this place on a solo trip to HB and it was the best choice I could've made. That pizza is AMAZING! So many wonderful options and I don't think you can go wrong. The service was great from the bartenders and even other customers. If you like a dark and lively place, this is for you. Music is great too. Sports folks, maybe not for you lol. 10/10 recommend and I will be coming back. read more

Was visiting family for the weekend, and this place has been on my list for over a year! We came on a Saturday shortly after they opened and it wasn't very busy. The vibes inside are super cool and unique, they have a lot of artwork and photos and a pool table. They have a big pizza and drink menu, we all needed a minute to decide what we wanted! I got a cocktail and it was really good, the prices of the drinks are good as well, especially compared the the other food places we had gone the two days prior. I ended up getting the Princess pizza, which is like a Margherita style pizza with sauce and cheese. I'm not kidding, this was probably my favorite thing I ate the entire trip, and one of my top favorite pizzas ever now! The sauce was so good, and the dough was perfect as well, the blend of the cheese and spices they use, it was excellent! Apparently their dough takes over 90 hours for it to be ready to use for the pizza, and maybe that adds to the flavor? We all enjoyed our pizza and drinks, and had a fun time here! We also had fun guessing what "secret kitchen" they get the pizza from... I will definitely be back next time I'm in town!! read more

Johnny's Saloon has been on my list of places to check-out for a while; SOOO glad we went! We were warmly greeted and welcomed upon arriving. Set in the corner of a small strip mall, the exterior doesn't prepare you for the feast-for-the-eyes inside! WOW! We had the pleasure of having Jamie serve us; however ALL of the bartenders were impressively friendly and attentive! We visited on a "pizza night". While we prefer the thinner crust, we had to experience their specialty item, ordering 1/2 Cheech n Chong (pepperoni assortment) and 1/2 Let's Dance (veggies). The large pizza, served on a raised serving stand, took up a good portion of our small round table; both were delicious (the pepperoni pizza was especially flavorful!) -- a good pairing! Labeled as a "dive bar" (which has a derogatory connotation)?... then, this is no dive! It's unique, it's lively, it's entertaining, it's fun!! Great drinks, too! On our list of favorite bars! Fabulously fun find!! read more

Went here with a colleague on a Friday night. Came early around 8pm. Luckily we got a seat at the bar. We liked that it was veteran owned and had a great whiskey selection. We are 30 and my buddy was younger. This bar seemed to be on the older crowd but I did see people my age. Nonetheless we felt welcomed. We noticed people were ordering pizza so we decided to get a small one to share considering we just ate kbbq lol. It was great pizza probably the best I've had in a while in California. We will definitely be back for the whiskey and pizza. The crowd seems chill so, we'll try to be more social next time and see what happens. Also I watching one of the guy bartenders, heavy set white dude. Super cool and knew his whiskey and he definitely knows how to bartend and make drinks. I have experience making drinks and he was doing everything right with his old fashions. read more

This diamond in the rough is hidden in the corner of a strip mall in Huntington Beach off of Beach Blvd. I can only describe this unique gem as a punk rock Disneyland on acid. There are things to look at everywhere you go. The Bartenders are friendly and have a heavy pour. The cherry on top is they have some of the best pizza I've ever had. My favorite is the " I want to be sedated". I know other pizzas are good, but I cannot get away from this one it's so delicious. I'm told It's a Croatian style pizza. Whatever style it has a crust that you won't leave on the plate. Come one come all and enjoy everything that Johnny's house to offer. read more

Greatest Dive Bar in HB. The best pizza in HB (Mr. Toads Adventure). The bartenders are great, very welcoming, and professional. I never had any issues with drinks. The bar is a bit small, but I love the ambiance and esthetic of the bar and restrooms. Music is good. I gave 4 stars as the parking is difficult and very limited. The bar is small, and seating is limited. It's a bit pricey on the drinks and pizza. You have to be charged separately for food and drinks. Overall, I would definitely recommend it. read more

Johnny's Johnny's Johnny I absolutely love this place. What more can I say? Well, we went for Galentine's night on Valentine's Day and were pleasantly surprised to get an early table near the bar. The four of us knew we were there for pizza and garlic knots but first and foremost came the cocktails. And at Johnny's you can always count on them pouring you a great one! In addition to our rounds of drinks we decided to do a Galentines shot. So of course we ordered up four shots of tequila! 3 Don Julio Silver and 1 Casamigos Repo! This place has it all, the atmosphere is horrifically wonderful, the bathroom plays Willy Wonka and the haunted mansion and it's just absolutely the best dive bar in town. By the time the pizza and knots arrived we were starving. We got the toad which is mostly meats and a vegetarian and I forgot the name lol. If you want to have a good time, a good drink and a good pizza, you have to hit up Johnny's! Jamie and Mondo are the best. But on the downside, you're gonna have to wait a month because after Valentine's Day they shut their doors for a remodel. But I will be back in March. read more
