johnny brown's

This place has been a landmark for I don't know how long, but at least since I've been going to Delray since 2009. It's located right on Atlantic Avenue beside the tracks and always seems to have a ton of motorcycles parked adjacent to it. It's not really the kind of place I like to hang out. But it's always packed with people, both locals and tourists, many of which by the end of the night are spilling over on to the sidewalk to listen to which ever band happens to be playing that night.Although many people do, I've never dined there. I've only ended up there for a drink at the end of the night, standing on the sidewalk with all the others, watching the band. A few of us ended up meeting up to go to Johnny Brown's on a Tuesday night to hear Hot Rod play. I'd actually read about Hot Rod, a Rod Stewart impersonator, in a feature article in Southwest's magazine. He was definitely very entertaining and because he is there every Tuesday night, it was evident so are a number of his "fans"! I took a little video to post here but can't seem to upload it unfortunately. Although it's not really for me, judging from the number of people who always seem to pack the place, I'd recommend you check it out for yourself, especially on a Tuesday night when Hot Rod is playing!

I was walking down Atlantic and saw a lot of people having lunch and a good time. I couldn't resist to join in. I had the Conch Chowder/soup of the day and an iced tea.Very hearty on an unusual cold day in Delray Beach.

Mediterranean Chicken sandwich & Delray rum drink.... Very good spot for lunch... Open, airy & on Atlantic Ave.... Fun spot

Heard a Rod Stewart impersonator and the local cover band The Flyers. Met great people, had affordable drinks and enjoyed the open, friendly vibe. It is the best local place for music.

The food is good bar food. I love the live music. It is a place to have fun with friends. As you are walking down the Ave. you will be drawn to it. It is worth stopping in.

We've been here every time we visit the DelRay Beach area- now we make sure to include Monday night so we can watch Elvis. It's a really fun crowd dancing is encouraged by all ages and half price shots are served when the train passes by! We've tried the sliders, wings and conch fritters and haven't had a bad one yet!

Spent an hour here waiting out a rainstorm. It is open to the outside but well covered. Food was very good for bar food...beers were cold. What more could you ask for?

1st timers in town & this bar. Very Good music. Good wings. Cold beer n good service. I would go back if I visit again.

Great hamburger and drinks, but didn't try anything else. Very crowded but fun. The wait staff is cheerful and aims to please.

Average American bar food with crooked tables and a sticky floor, but you just can't beat the great performences every night at this cool and casual place! Drinks are totally watered down so stick with wine and beer. But when that train goes by, get that shot of Patron and next thingyou know, everyone is singing and dancing the night away! You will be sitting with a biker on your left and fashionista on your right and by the end of the night everyone is on your lap!

Stopped in here for a drink as it looked fairly lively in comparison to everywhere else. Good move!I ordered the lamb sliders as food. They were really good, ideal for soaking up beer and very reasonably priced. The food is not the main draw here though, go elsewhere for Michelin star chefs, but it's good bar food. I was in on a Tuesday, I think. This meant Rod Stewart was playing, which I was dreading. He was actually really good. I enjoyed the fact he is deliberately unfunny, which I found funny. I think its deliberate anyway?My waitress was very friendly and was over to check if I needed a drink regularly, despite being very busy. Tanya behind the bar was also very friendly, as was the big guy, who's name escapes me. I'm under the impression there is entertainment every night, which is a good thing as all the other bars were dead when I was there.And the place was packed by 9, so get there early if you want a decent seat.
