End of an Era at Johnnie’s Bar - and the start of an exciting new one!
As most of our customers know, Johnnie Amanda and James (and Molly) have been planning to move on from Spain and the bar and follow Jenifer and Jonathan back to the UK.
This week everything’s gone through for our move, and the Langtons are going home.
The bar will be continuing under the same name and managed by Amy and Alejandro who are buying into the business. I know they will be a huge success and I hope that all the lovely people we have met over the past 31 years will continue to support them. Behind the scenes Paul O’Shaugnessey, and Johnnie and Amanda (from afar) will continue to support them.
As a family we would like to say a massive thank you to all the customers who have helped us make the bar a success. Many have become good friends and seeing the same faces every year has been a privilege. Some people have been supporting us since the beginning, some we have gotten to know in later years, but all the same the biggest thank you to you all.
We also wanted to say a thank you to all the staff who have supported us over the years, especially Kath - 19 years on the terrace is no mean feat - and Sandra. Alongside Sandra, Anna and Ana Belen will be continuing to help Ale and Amy into 2026 and the future.
In a final note, we would like to say another thank you for all the stories and memories we will be telling for the rest of our lives - all the characters, all the people we’ve gotten to know who are no longer with us, all the crazy nights and everything else in between.
It’s been an honour.
Johnnie, Amanda, and the Langton family.

Hello all-
Just an update to our opening hours this week.
Due to construction work in the square we are opening at 2pm Tuesday (May 13) and Wednesday (May 14) due to the building works in the square affecting our terrace.
We are open until 11pm all week apart from Saturday (May 17) when we will be closing after the FA Cup match.
See you all soon and hopefully the work in the square will be all done and dusted VERY shortly!!!

Hello all-

Just a quick one to let everyone know we will be closed tomorrow (May 7).
Our street is expecting water, and possibly electric, cuts due to the ongoing council works and the community are also carrying out some repairs across our terrace.
Not ideal but we will be back on Thursday - hopefully with water electric and a terrace 😂

See you all soon 🙂

We’re doing what we can with the weather over the next week or so but the work is finished, the Guinness is flowing, we have the cup final to look forward to(🤍🖤) and St Patrick’s / Bar Anniversary on Monday 🍀
See you all soon and thanks for everyone’s continued support

Hello all!
Just a quick update-
Work has now completed and we are now in the process of restocking, reorganizing and getting things finished off.
We had been planning on opening on Monday to enjoy the week in the run up to our anniversary, but looks like the weather has other plans…🥲
As soon as it looks like clearing properly we will be open, and will let everyone know as soon as possible.
Forecast looking clearer for the weekend atleast.
See you all soon
Everyone at Johnnie’s Bar
PS please find attached photographic evidence of what we’re dealing with 😂

Hey everyone
Just a quick update from us-
The bar is closed from today for around two weeks as we undertake some renovations.
As many of you know the Bonanza area is undergoing a major reconstruction that is taking longer than expected. So we are taking the opportunity to refresh the bar, fit new toilets and carry out a few other jobs.
Hopefully we will be finished and back open towards the end of the month, with the town hall works also much further on by then - fingers crossed!
See you all soon, and after the works finished it will be almost time for St Patrick’s Day number 31!
Take care,
Everyone at Johnnie’s Bar

Just thought we would share some sad news we had today about the passing of our good friend Keith Partridge.
I’m sure many of our customers will remember Keith, who worked at the bar for more than eight years, and we all shared many memories, laughs and nights out with.
He was a great friend, good company and will be missed.
Condolences to his family and all his friends.
John and Amanda

Hey everyone,
We hope everyone has had an enjoyable summer, thanks to all the customers and visitors we’ve had - it’s been an incredible season so far. The euros were a great success and it’s been very busy since then also.
We just wanted to let everyone know that this SATURDAY AUGUST 24 we will be closing early at 6pm.
Both Amy and Ale have their birthdays at the end of August and are celebrating this weekend, and so James and Ana can enjoy it with them we have decided to close after the early afternoon football matches.
Back to normal on Sunday for the Newcastle match- hope to see you all soon
Love from everyone at Johnnie’s
