Johnny's Tavern - Amherst

A great find! We passed it a few years ago and said we wanted to try it. We finally stopped in and the drinks, menu and combinations were unique and wonderful. Portions are big so get ready to take some home.

Have had two great experiences ordering some wine and sharing a couple of appetizers. Limited wine selection but we'll priced and curated. Apps were delicious and interesting, not your typical fare. The bartender was fantastically pleasant and attentive. Will definitely be returning!

We weren't able to make a reservation in advance because we didn't have a large enough group. However, we showed up around 6:30pm and didn't have to wait more than ten minutes to be seated in a booth. The atmosphere was lively while still being cozy at the same time. Our waitress was fantastic along with our menu choices. Pictured below is a short rib Papardelle, a Rare tuna sandwhich and fried brussel sprouts for an appetizer. Oh My God the brussel sprouts were the clear winner for me. A great restaurant that I would visit again if I'm in the area.

It's a wonderful restaurant that I would definitely return to if I'm in the area again.

This charming restaurant and bar offers a delightful dining experience that goes beyond your typical bar fare. The potato gnocchi, paired with asparagus and chicken, was simply delicious, and the tavern burgers were equally impressive. Our server, Bella, was very pleasant and attentive. My only complaint is that our food took a bit longer to arrive, as some patrons who came in after us were served before we were. The live musicians played soothing classic rock from the '90s, creating a great atmosphere. While the chairs were a bit uncomfortable, that wouldn't deter me from coming back.
