Johnny J's at Portage Lakes is listed as suitable for watching sports, with a bar on site and free wi-fi. Doors at 11am, venue until 2:30am.
Google lists this address as a sports bar ahead of a pub — the only room in the group ordered that way. Here is what sits behind that label and what does not.
Johnny J's Pub & Grille, Portage Lakes at 3333 Manchester Rd #3 — favorite sports seven days a week, wings in 17 sauces, Dublin burgers, a deep beer list, and a venue open till 2:30am. Google rating captured August 14, 2026: 4.2.
The listing carries Sports bar as the first of its secondary categories, ahead of Pub — the reverse of the order on the Medina listing, while the Springfield Township listing carries no secondary categories at all. There is a bar on site, free wi-fi, indoor and outdoor seating, and a venue that runs to 2:30am every night.
Start with what is missing, because a guide that skips it is not worth reading. The number of screens in this room has never been published. Neither has their size, nor the list of sports packages the bar carries. A call to 330-557-9574 will settle any of the three faster and more accurately than anything written here.
What is on record is useful in a different way. Google files this address as a Bar and grill with Sports bar and Pub behind it, in that order, and flags it as suitable for watching sports. It records a bar on site, free wi-fi, seating indoors, seating outdoors, and a wheelchair-accessible entrance, restroom, seating and parking.
The hours are the real asset. Doors go up at eleven — later than the other three pubs, which open at ten, so an early Saturday kickoff is the one case where this room is the wrong choice. At the other end the kitchen works to 2am and the venue holds to 2:30am, seven days, all year, which covers any late fixture you are likely to want.
There is no brunch service here, which is worth knowing before a Sunday morning game. The other rooms run 10am to 3pm at the weekend and stop half an hour before a major event; this one simply serves its ordinary card from eleven.
Tuesday is the night this room owns outright. Trivia starts at 7pm and runs two Sporcle games, and no other pub in the group has anything scheduled against it. The trivia page has the format.
One practical note about eating during a game: Google's record for this listing does not carry a delivery flag, where the other three addresses do. Collection through Toast is certain. If you want it brought to a sofa, ring first rather than assuming an app will cover it.
From the bar during a fixture, or ahead through the Portage Lakes Toast page for collection. The kitchen cooks from its own July 2026 card, so a sauce you had watching a game at another Johnny J's may not exist here — the menu page spells out which ones. No tables are bookable; a group on a big night is the parties page.
Eleven to half past two, seven days a week. Happy hour lands 2pm to 5pm on weekdays, useful for an afternoon fixture, and is itemised on its own page. Monday brings 69¢ boneless wings; Tuesday brings a flat $9.99 burger and then trivia.

The name is misleading in one specific way: the room is inland, not on the water. Wings during a game are covered on the wings page. If you need a 10am open for a morning kickoff, Medina and Strongsville both have one.
