"John's famous stew here is augmented with a few extra vegetables and butter beans."

"A sign at each door warns that customers must be 21 to enter. John's is as much a place to drink as to dine."

"From my perch on a barstool I saw Pauline (obscured on left) coach Phoebe about making the stew just-hot-enough."
Michael Stern



"While dining at the bar, you can watch TV. But conversing with Pauline was much better than the boob tube."
Michael Stern



"We noticed a few places in Indy that serve stew. John's is one of the oldest."
