Johnny’s Tavern has been an integral part of Lawrence’s community since 1953. Renowned for its world-famous hamburgers and the longest-running tap in Lawrence, Johnny’s has evolved into more than just a place to grab a bite or watch the game. It’s a home away from home for Lawrencian’s, providing a welcoming atmosphere where friendships are forged and memories are made.
Beyond its delicious pizza and lively atmosphere, Johnny’s Tavern stands out for its unwavering commitment to community engagement. Whether it’s sponsoring events like Hawk Talk or supporting initiatives like The Fox 4 LoveFund for Children, Johnny’s understands the importance of giving back. Their dedication to making a positive impact extends beyond the corner of 2nd and Locust st. and into the heart of Lawrence itself.
In a city steeped in tradition and brimming with energy, Johnny’s Tavern remains a beacon of community spirit. Through their ongoing dedication to service and their unwavering support for the Lawrence community, Johnny’s continues to uphold its legacy as more than just a tavern—it’s a cornerstone of the Lawrence experience.
