I got the chicken george which is classic for the area, and it was pretty on par for what you get anywhere else. I wonder if they all buy from the same supplier. Slighly soggy, but at least tender, chicken. Sides were good. What you would expect from a meal in the middle of Iowa.

I was visiting an old friend whom I haven't seen in almost a decade. We were roommates back in the…read more90s when we were stationed in Japan. Brought back a lot of memories when were tossing back few beers and shots. We talked about all the stupid sh!t we did and got away with. This place is located in what you call "DOWNTOWN" Clinton. As many of us big time city folks, this downtown consists of about 3 blocks. What do you expect from a small midwest town. Although it's small in size, the characteristics of this awesome divey bar makes it an awesome place to party. As people are aware of growing up in a small town, everyone and their mama knows everyone else. And this place is no different. I meant that in a positive way since my old friend is well known. And we got some beers for free. Honestly, I don't even know how many beers and shots we took. And all the people I've met were very friendly, even when I'm the only Asian in the "DOWNTOWN" area. Cheap booze and good people. It does sound like a perfect place right?

Honestly a great bar. Needs to expand. Not enough room to walk around. Or even dance, during the…read moreweekends nights.

Me and my fiancé ordered chicken wings. Both of our food came out at the same time.. when I looked at my chicken wings, I had a big string of black hair on it. The cook had blonde hair. The waitress had black hair when I showed her the hair she didn't apologize. She didn't say sorry she didn't say anything she just took the food and walked away with an attitude and asked me that I want to re-order it. As you notice in the photos of the french fries, half of them was burnt to a crisp . Some of the fries in the order was good, but half of them with Burnt. As my fiancé was eating her chicken wings, she noticed that they were rubbery and pink of the inside of them. But we didn't complain and she didn't eat them. She picked room just to look and see how many of them was like that and out of eight of them six of them was raw. When my chicken wings finally came out, they were doing the correct way with the sauce and the taste of them was nasty. I went to pay for the bill and I asked to cook because I didn't see the waitress at the time. Do I get an apology or do I get anything off of my bill being that I have hair in my food? She looked me in my face and told me that as you can see my hair is blonde so that wasn't my hair ...... I said can I at least get a apology she said no. That will be the last time I ever step foot inside of that place the drinks water down and the service was terrible. I recommend do not go to this place I recommended this place is closed down for selling half cooked chicken wings. I enjoyed going to this place almost 6 years ago, but now the business went down the toilet like I'm flushing poop. Close down immediately!!!!!!!

We had the place to ourselves Sunday at 11a :)…read more The place is not what I expected when we drove by, so I am happy that we stopped in. It is quite a large space with a huge bar, pool tables and Dartboards. I'll bet this is a great place to hang out on Friday and Saturday nights! My husband ordered the Philly cheesesteak with fries and I had a chicken ranch wrap. Both were very good, there was a lot of ranch dressing on my wrap, that would be the only thing I would have changed was a little lighter on the dressing. Service was fantastic and super friendly. Prices are more than fair and if we were local this would be a regular hangout spot. There are tons of TVs on the wall for watching any sport you would want to see as well.

This place is the definition of "A-OK." There's like everything that your standard dive bar must…read morehave: beer, cluttered signage, gambling, beer garden, live music, juke box, darts.... BUT they don't have a lot of beer- this is a problem. This is why my husband and I go to bars. Beer. I feel they have identified this shortcoming and have installed a cooler with six-packs inside. Patrons are allowed to pick out a beer and be charged appropriately ... It would be cool if this was a cooler full of the most unique, hard-to-find beers ever but it's mostly full of bud light and Miller Lite. I would bump this up to a 3.5 even for the live music they had that night which played awesome covers but I don't think they are a nightly staple. If you like dive bars, stop on by!

High price for quality and quantity. Entres were fine price but lacking on the pizazz. The appetizer was expensive - I got 8 cheese curd sized "Mac and cheese bites" for $9... 3 tables were sat, one didn't even order food and left, the other table had two people and ordered before we even got there... We waited almost an hour for our food.

Johnnie's is a true dive bar, original wood plank floors, tin ceiling, ice house cooler, basically worn to hell but clean! The only thing dirty here was the price of "Dirt Cheap" drinks! Never asked the price and never cared. The currency exchange spoke for itself. The mixed drinks and shooters...a solid pour! The only food items served here are frozen pizza (but they will cook it for you if you ask) and assorted Potato Chips, Doritos & other "bagged stuff". Hard to tell because the spring loaded metal bag display was ceiling mounted! I got a neck cramp looking up and never asked the obvious question. Vintage place except for the recent footprint of the Illinois Gaming Commission. This is a small downtown area with a few bars, a Meat Market and your typical consumer support storefronts like "Ted The Barber" From what I can tell, Ted is busy supporting local business. If in the area and you need a haircut, the wait time should be minimal! Enjoy the River.
