About this business
Editorial fromIs this the most hipster-frequented bar on the Lower East Side? Has Williamsburg transplanted itself to Manhattan? Perhaps. But among the myriad of nearby bars, Welcome to the Johnsons stands out for more than just its whimsical name. A…

BAR STAFF BELONGS IN ASYLUM – I think the reviews below are way too kind... Not only did the Asian, female bartender at Welcome to the Johnsons forget to take her medication, but I think she may potentially be Schizophrenic or bi-polar. To start with - she LOVES to yell... AND WAVE HER ARMS MANIACALLY! When she called last call for happy hour beers - it looked and sounded like she was screaming for her life or for an audition to be scripted into the worst horror flick ever. After she demanded tips - while her service was bey... read more
ONE FLEW OVER THE CUCKOO'S NEST – And by one, I mean Alice, the crazy speed freak bartender who traded in her strait jacket and padded room for plastic covered seats at the straight bar. All I can say is WOW. One really got away. I smell a a fat payout in the making for a good lawyer and some lucky patron that has the misfortune of coming across Ms. Prozac Nation. KA-CHING!
When Bartenders Attack (If you want to be insulted, go here) – Originally me and my friends were loving this bar. It was a fun hang out and had great atmosphere. Then a bartender (female, asian, long black hair) blatantly and very rudely told me that I wasn't tipping her enough (I was tipping her $2 on $2pbrs...whatever) and if I didn't like it I should leave. She and the staff had been extremely uptight, not caring that they were way insulting. Then she got security to escort me and my friends out when she talking about me ... read more
Great times always! – I love this place! We go here every year in October after going to the Haunted Nightmare Haunted House on Rivington. Cheap beer, good jukebox, kitschy place. It's perfect for a night like this. Highly recommend.
cheap cheap cheap – Welcome to the Johnsons is one hell of a dive in the LES. It's a mod-podge of people from your college hipsters, crazy regulars, or random business types. It has a homey- unpretentious feeling with all the vintage decor, fridge behind the bar and pac man table. Cheap beers always a plus ($2 PBR) but their Guiness on tap is either never properly working or the bartender just doesn't know how to pour... then again I'm sure getting a job there doesn't require much more skill than knowing how to open cans. Al... read more
Bring a coozie and some older clothing – Welcome to the Johnsons is not pictured above as another reviewer noted. WttJ has shag carpeting, a gold-inlaid mirror and refrigerator behind the bar, and a genuine living room beside the bar with a pos television, fan, couch, lay-z-boy, a wall of pictures from your grandmother's house, and a line of emptys on the tv stand reminiscent of your last frathouse experience. The folks playing pool are typically 50-60 y/o Vietnam vets or Native Americans and will mack on the girls in your g... read more
Just Another Inexpensive, No Thrills Dive Bar – First off, this bar is not the one pictured above! It's dark, small, and dingy. This place isn't bad if you're looking for cheap PBRs and to meet up with some friends without spending much money. They have a few tables/chairs set up. This bar also has a reclining chair for one lucky person who just wants to relax after a long hard day's work. The bartenders seemed to have a little bit of an attitude when I was there and took their time to serve me. They seemed to only concentra... read more
great stop! – love this place. it's a dive filled with awesome people definitely a regular here, check it out for sure!!
Complete Dive – Small place with limited beer selection although it it is cheap. Place smells which makes it hard to stay for a while. There is a pool table in back. Bartender looks like he hadn't showered since his pre-hippie days.
