Upstairs at Jonny G’s Bar

OMG! Yes, best pizza joint in summit county! This is my local spot for on point drinks and badass pizza!

The bar was cool and the service was good. Problem is my boyfriend got food poisoning from the place. Do not eat here!

Wow. I’m from the east coast and the pizza here BLEW MY MIND. I would kill for the recipe to Mama G’s sauce. I was staying with friends and wanted to find my «Cheers» in Colorado… and I found it! Jonny G’s has hot bartenders (ask for KG!) and cold drinks. I will be back, for sure. I even met the owner of the bar, and he was as cool as cool can be. I can tell he treats his employees like family.

Sometimes you’re in a mountain town in the evening, hanging out at a sleepy little cabin-​like house and you don’t want to face 4 feet of snow or dressing a toddler to go out in public when he’s so cozy in his footie jammies. And so you turn to delivery.
It actually took me a few tries before finding Jonny G’s because the first places I called were open, but didn’t deliver. Jonny G’s saved the day, however. We ordered a simple pizza (pepperoni, thin crust) and a half pound of wings (citrus habanero, came with about 8 wings) and it was at our door within a half hour.
The prices are reasonable, the food is good, the delivery is fast. So, yes, I am a fan. And maybe next time we’ll manage to wrangle the kid into real pants and off-​road over the snow banks to check the place out in person.

We searched Unilocal for popular places in Frisco and this spot came up. We got delivery on a Sunday night 9:50pm (came quickly) KITCHEN CLOSES AT 10. ordered the White pizza with sausage (skimpy on the sausage like 6 pieces). BOMB. Thin style. Probably going to order it again.
THE PRETZEL oh my lanta. SO SOFT and just the right amount of salt. The cheese sauce was hella delish as well.

Great bar atmosphere, good food! My buddies had the NY style pizza and said it was delicious, and I had the buffalo Philly Cheesesteak, which was excellent after a day on the slopes… And of which I highly recommend as well!

Here’s the truth as much as it hurts… I did not like vacationing in Colorado. It was beautiful but I hated skiing and the altitude killed me but I LOVED Frisco and we trudged through a blizzard to eat at Johnny G’s which totally paid off! Wow what a great experience! We played darts, pool, music and ate awesome pizza! Met the owner – loved him! The pizza was super good and crispy and perfect! Gotta tell ya with all of the weird reviews it looks hit or miss but we HIT AN AWESOME night’!!! Did I mention the other patrons were super cool and the servers were freakishly awesome!

Being from New Jersey and growing up in New York, I can’t understand why there’s so many good reviews for this pizza. I mean, it wasn’t *bad*, but it’s a good distance from real New York pizza. The service was friendly and the place seemed like a good bar to hang out at, but not for the pizza or the wings. The wings, which are advertised as being «awesome and plump», are anything but. They’re probably the scrawniest and most overcooked wings I’ve had in ages.

Good service, pizza was good when I’m back in the area I’ll be back.

Not a family-​friendly place to sit in. It reeked of alcohol and cigarette (though it’s a non-​smoking room). Can order out though.
No wowza but didn’t regret buying or eating their pizza.

Went here with a group of friends, found the service to be excruciatingly inefficient and slow. Prices are meh, atmosphere flat. They do have darts. Oh man, stay away from the bathroom. Earns the award for being the worst bathroom I have been in so far in 2013. Terrible. If you find yourself in Frisco, you can probably skip this place.

wow was this place hoppin! damn it was crowded with some of the best looking young people ive ever seen in colorado. everyone looked like they were in the 6^th year of college.
Booty Shakin Saturday cannot be missed!!!

This is a fun place and probably one of the better late night places in Frisco, CO. The service was very good but food was not so consistent. Maybe I should know better being from Philly, but yes I ordered the Thai Philly cheesesteak which had chicken and thai sauce. It was horrible. My bf eats almost anything and wouldn’t eat it. Not only did it not look appetizing, but it was so salty that I could only get through one bite. They would be better off not having this item on their menu and just sticking with typical bar food. The fried stuff we ordered was all decent greasy bar food– mac n cheese bites, fried raviolis, wings. The bf got cheesy steak fries which was a huge plate of fries, cheese and meat. The wings were decent. The server noticed that we didn’t touch the Thai Philly and offered us something in its place so service is good here. If you are looking for a decent place to go to grab a few drinks and eat some greasy bar food, this is a good place to stop in.

While driving from Grand Junction to Denver the hunger became an issue around the Glenwood Springs area. My son wanted pizza, Mom and I not so much. Fast food not being an option I did a quick Unilocal search. Looking at Silverthorn produced mainly chain food. A search of Frisco turned up a number of options, Upstairs at Johnny G’s seemed the most appealing at he moment.
Being late afternoon on a Sunday parking was easy. With anticipation growing we walked into Jonny G’s, what did we find? Not much, what was obviously a night club was barren, I think I actually heard crickets chirping off in the distance. There was no way this place could produce anything other than lousy bar food, we almost left. That would have been a huge mistake. Jonny G’s produces some of the best bar food I have eaten.
The menu was typical bar food: pizza, steak & cheese, burgers, wings, fries, nice beer selection, etc. My son ordered a slice of NY style cheese pizza, I ordered wings (citrus habanero) and my wife the Hippy Sub (made with grilled veggies and cheese) and if that wasn’t enough our waitress told us about there 2 giant soft pretzels for $ 5. We got an order of pretzels to share. Here is what we found:
1. Pizza — damn near perfect. thin crust, nicely charred, not over sauced or cheesed. A perfect balance. $ 2 for a huge slice
2. Wings — Some of the best I’ve eaten, super crispy not a hint of being soggy. The citrus habanero sauce was excellent. $ 8 for 6 huge wings
3. Hippy Sub — with stuff like this I might be able to give up meat for a couple days. $ 7 and overstuffed.
4. Pretzels — the best soft pretzel I have ever eaten, period. $ 5 for 2 huge pretzels.
I was shocked to find food this good in a place like this. Walking in to Upstairs at Jonny G’s I was expecting very little, instead we were rewarded with a great meal at a very reasonable price.
A word of caution if you have kids, get there before early. Later in the evening this is a night club and not suitable for kids. Earlier and the kids will be just fine.
I’m thinking Upstairs at Jonny G’s will become a regular stop on my drives between the Front Range and Western Slope. All hail Upstairs at Jonny G’s.

This is just a fun bar! Pizza is acceptable, the pretzels are super yummy (served with cheese sauce & marinara), and the beer is cold. Service with a smile is also a plus.
I had tons of fun sitting by the windows @ this second floor establishment and watching the people go by. I’ll be stopping by during every trip to CO from now on.
4 stars instead of 5 because they take too long to update their beer list (it appears to be written in chalk!) when they make a change and because I don’t think it would kill them to run a broom around the place at least once a day.

Completely unbiased:
I walked upstairs, whoever was in front of the door asked what my friends and I wanted. As if it was unusual to be eating there. So we said we wanna have dinner. He paused… said okay. Then we sit down, feel a strange vibe but decide were gonna stick it out. Then the same man walks up to us and says we have an event going on at 6, it was 530. so we have to leave. I asked if we couldn’t eat then? He said he didn’t say that, but we had to leave … Then he walked away and snickered a comment to himself as if he was annoyed of my question

I was very impressed with this pizza joint. The food was excellent. We ate pretty early so there was not much of a crowd but I imagine it gets bumping later on in the evening. There is pool table, darts, and foosball etc.
The owner/​host/​waiter was awesome. The service was great! I hope he has help when it gets busy!
The most impressive part was that the pizza dough, tomato sauce, ranch etc was all made in house with fresh ingredients. I love that in a place.
I would hands down recommend this place and intend on revisiting myself next time we are there!

Best variety of people around. Hugely entertaining people-​watching.
Huge pizza’s start at $ 15 and slices are $ 2 until 10pm.
$ 4 pints of Avery, and the drinks they were mixing were serious stuff. Friendly bartenders even though they are usually really busy.
Alex G. and Ryan C have it nailed. Rich must have been having a Capistrano hallucination, but hey, as long as he enjoys the place…

The staff rocks, the pizza is delicious, and the wings are the best in town. I’d recommend a double cheese, sausage and pepperoni pizza. hells yeah.
A place where the beer flows like wine. Where beautiful women instinctively flock like the salmon of Capistrano…
Oh, and they have good drinks and good prices too.

I went to the girls drink free PBRs and wells on Weds! This place was absolutely exciting!
Fresh varieties of peeps! Africans, cowboys, gapers, rastas, mountain men, Swedish knockouts, chill chicks, old cool dudes, all shaking their assets to a very nice DJ who actually takes requests. long island ice t’s are only 2 $. pool tables, darts, fusball, tvs, a smoking patio, and a cool bouncer complete the great sports bar-​dance club feel. Check it out Wednesday nites!
