Books by Johnny Welsh

Johnny Welsh is a seasoned bartender and published author known for blending real-life humor, sharp storytelling, and wit into everything he does. From shaking up cocktails to signing books, Johnny’s passion for people and connection shines through in both his work and words.

Are you curious about the legalization of marijuana and what it might mean for your state? Don’t miss your chance to learn the good, the bad, and the funny from the first state to pass the law.

A young couple creates a fun way to stay connected by disconnecting. This travel adventure quickly turns into a self-deprecating comedy about bad smartphone habits.

You know what they say, don't you?

A happy wipe is a happy life!

Remember that one time...we had empty shelves of toilet paper? That's what inspired this  "think tank" material.

Meet
Johnny Welsh

“Your friendly neighborhood bartender and a splash of humor will get us through…”​

He worked as a professional bartender for over thirty years. Sarcastic (with a twist, of course) writing was a perfect fit for the endless observations of this career.

He is the author of the award-winning Paper Maps, No Apps: An Unplugged Travel Adventure. His first book, Weedgalized in Colorado—about the legalization of marijuana in Colorado—won two Readers’ Favorite awards. His third book, Toilet Paper Crisis: Wipe Away Those Fears, became a bestseller during the pandemic.
