Welcome to the Johnsons
Drinking at Welcome to the Johnsons takes you back to raging in your friend’s rec room when their parents were out of town, except now everyone is of age. The beers are cheap (Pabst is $2) and come out of a full-size fridge, the walls are covered in family pictures and old trophies, and the plastic-covered furniture looks like it was on the losing end of a monster truck rally. The rec room look is complete with a pool table, Ms. Pac-Man, and an old TV with bad reception that was playing a documentary on animal mating on one recent visit. Ah, just like home—without the emotional baggage and guilt trips.

A dive that borders on chic? I dont know how they did it either. I wont ask questions, though, in case its too much of a good thing. My girlfriends and I went here for a change of pace from our usual more fashionable joints, and we could not have been happier that we did. We spent the night playing Pac-Man and wishing we were back in highschool. With the drinks rediculously cheap, we will definitely be coming back for more, especially to break that Pac-Man high score!

its easy to get drunk and enjoy yourself here. it just isn't easy to remember that you're old enough to think of this place as nostalgic.
