Johnnie's Bar on Historic Route 66

09/25/2026

From opening along the tracks in 1952 to moving to its current home at the four-way stop on Historic Route 66 in 1960, Johnnies has been a proud part of the St. James community!

Who remembers Johnnie's Bar being located across from the depot in St. James?
