Dear friends,
 
I �ve encountered the following sentence and I �m not sure if it �s correct. What do the native speakers say?
 
Last night I went to my best friend �s John �s party.

I would change it to

Hope this helps.

Yes, Karin is definitely right.
 
Since "John" is slang for "toilet", the original sentence would be about the party of my best friend �s toilet. LOL
