10Best Says

West End Johnnie's sits in a corner perch of the West End, where nightlife and restaurants are popping up everyday to serve not just the hoards of people making their way to an event at the TD Garden, but also locals and visitors looking for a night out. A popular night spot that often has long lines (some claim for show rather than overcrowding), West End Johnnies is jamming on Garden game days. Offering more than just dinner, West End Johnnies has a brunch menu that makes for a great pre- game pick me up. The menu can be best be described as American, with a focus on pub fare, you'll find crisp wings, clam chowder, Burgers, salads and steak tips that are a step above the basic bar food you'll find around the Garden. Opening at 5pm most nights and at 11am on Sundays (closed Mondays unless there is a Garden event), West End Johnnies is good place to stop for pre game food and post game drinks.
