Who or what is Johnny Angells and Why I Believe he's got Downtown Jumping again...

The Anderson downtown nightlife scene has really exploded over the last three to four years and most of this explosion can be credited in-part to a bar slash dance bar called “Johnny Angells”.  Located at 126 N. Main St. Anderson smack dab in the heart of the new downtown Anderson bustling business district. I had been invited to come check it out several times in the past, but never made the time due to other pressing engagements. But as time finally would permit I finally ventured out recently to see what all the hub bub was about. Was all the hype fact or fiction, or just manufactured hyperbole? I’m elated to report in an unbiased fashion that the folk’s downtown lived up to the good Saturday night accolades they seemed to have accrued over the last couple of years.


They have really gone out to attract a diversified audience of patrons to Anderson’s weekend downtown crowd, by providing an array of DJ’s for their Saturday Dance Parties such as Dj Fresh, Dj EZ ,Dj Nic aka Mr Electric City, Dj Drama J etc. They also have catered to the live entertainment fans around the city by hosting musical bands such as Generation Axe and the Eric Scott Band. I must admit I was kind of a skeptical at first but it appears the formula they are employing is contagiously appealing judging from the jumping hip atmosphere that I was witness to when I went to see the homies Dj Fresh & Dj T Rock put on there recently one Saturday nite. They also have a new marketing ploy on an old concept and it’s called the new “Happier Hour” from Midnight-2AM with domestic and house bar brand drinks and to boot they have some smoking flavorful hot wings coming from the kitchen menu.(can we say ala J Peter’s)


Johnny Angells didn’t try to reinvent the wheel they just improved upon it by utilizing a combination of great food, creative drink specials, with a dash of diversified music on different nites. Must I forget to mention you can relax and enjoy yourself in a smoke free enviroment which is really a plus for the non-smokers in my humble opinion. My fore thoughts are if you enjoy a nice mixed party crowd atmosphere including new and old skool pop music hits. I suggest you and some friends get on downtown when 1073 Jamz Hot Jock Dj Fresh is in the house, that’s if you like to dance or enjoy listening to a plethora of good high energy get on the floor music. Dj Smash & I stepped in the house recently and here’s some pics and footage of what we saw. I tip my hat to the establishment of the cast & crew at Johnny Angells they provided a first class experience for the whole city of the A.N.D. all from the heart of downtown Anderson. Security provided courtesy of A.P.D. of course and if you would like to find out more about Johnny Angells feel free to visit their official Facebook page by clicking here.
