Kelsey the bartender was awesome, very attentive with out being over the top in you face. She was great! They were out of most of the food options. Had pizza(frozen),mac and cheese bites, and cheese sticks. The bar is big and it was clean. Several game options. No pool table(s). They do have video poker. The machines were stingy as they did not pay off, but I guess thats gambling. Definitely will go here again.

Save your time and money, there are at least 30 other bars in Joliet area that are nicer and cleaner then this one. Certain staff members likes cause drama and the one bouncer swears he was in the movie road house.

This is by far the best bar I have ever been to. I was stuck in the area during x-mas week of 2019 and came here every night. If im ever in the area again this is where Im going.

Save your money. Mixed drinks are 7.50 but the liqour is very watered down, and their juice is also watered down. You get a cup of flavored water. The place smells bad when you walk in, like dirty sinks. Longshots is better. Oh and no pool table here. Just dark gloomy empty place with big cups of ice and no alcohol.

Great bartenders. I’m there every Sunday night for livestock karaoke in Joliet with Dee J Christa. Inexpensive drinks and many priced lower than other establishments I’ve visited. Fun atmosphere

Staff was friendly. Karaoke night was fun. The bathrooms were clean but... when Im buzzed I want fries and there wasnt any on the menu. I settled for some jalapeno poppers and they were awful. No spice not even a kick at all.

Here’s the thing, I LOVED this bar, I still do not hate it, HOWEVER, there are about two bartenders here that LOOOVVEEEE drama. I do not think that it is right for a bartender to be rude over social media when I have NO social media, had to find out from others. In my opinion, if you’re a WORKING bartender then keep your comments to yourself, especially when you want customers to come back. I just really hope that KARMA is real.

I love this bar. All of the bartenders are awesome! I frequent this bar more than any other Joliet bar. Great atmosphere and great drink specials. If anybody disagrees they are wrong. Rock on, Sidelines 🤟

I was a little nervous about going to a bar in this part of Joliet. It was actually a pretty cool local hangout. Very diverse crowd. Got busy when the DJ came. There were a couple security guards, but I didnt feel anyone threatening there. It was nice to have one outside in the parking lot so late, though. Id go back and recommend.

Be prepared to get searched at the door, other than that its more of a urban style bar with a younger crowd. Its usually packed on weekends with police in attendance

This place is complete trash. Heavily monitored by the Joliet Police Department, just a sign that this place cant control its patrons. You will be interrogated and patted down prior to entering. My friend didnt make it past the door cause he had a small hairline crack in his ID. That was enough for the officer at the front door to say that it wasnt him. Funny thing is the cop gave my friend his ID back instead of arresting him for identity theft. When the cop was confronted with this logic he huffed and puffed his chest and we just ended up walking out.

Review №46

Great place at first but last summer when they let me get into my vehichle with alchahol poisioning this place lacks any responsibility the bouncers are too busy trying to flirt with women and push people around inside. Watch out i never been kicked out but i watched them remove people with no reason sneaking up on them from behind with no notice or not even asking them to leave by force. Then when the patron calls the police the bouncers lie right infront of people cause people to be incarcerated that have done nothing wrong. Sad what this place has become. The bartenders are great tho but thats it.

Great craft beer list. Good food and entertainment.Fun and social bartenders with daily drink specials. Pool table is gone, but there is free (byob) beer pong, shuffle board, and Foosball. Two dart boards and a handful of gambling machines will keep you busy.Late night Joliet bar with DJs Thursday Friday and Saturday. Sunday night karaoke for the brave (they have fun).Bar has done a lot to stay clean and safe. ID required and logged for all visitors, casino style. Enough bouncers on hand to quell a rebellion.

A reasonable price bar. Guinness $ 5.Drink specials about everu night.10 flat screen TV. Fullly stock bar.If uou a little over weight you would fit in well with this bar. Two bouncers at the door. Friendly enough. Buckets of Beer and shots with a few mix drinks were the normal.. Booths, tables and the bar for sitting.. Brick wall..About normal for Joliet.

Review №76

My daughter and I were accused of being scam artists because we won on one of their slot machines. The day bartender, Terry, an old drunkin hag and her two drunkin male friends harassed us, threatened us and were screaming in our faces. They told us they were calling 911. I told the old hag when she discovers shes wrong I want an apology. What was strange about the whole thing is Terry, who we thought was off work since she was drinking several shots and beers paid my daughter the $36.20 (wow like someone would scam for such a small amount). About 20 minutes later is when the accusations started.The guy that handles the slot machines came in and confirmed that we are not scam artists that we won fair and square. He apologized for the drunkin hag and her drunkin friends. We never received an apology from the three drunks and on top of it they made us pay for our beer. We each had a $1.00 beer. Wow at least pay for our drinks since they were wrong and caused such a scene. VERY POOR SERVICE. THEY HARASS AND THREATEN YOU IF YOU WIN ON THEIR SLOTS. I HOPE THE OLD HAG GETS FIRED. Nothing like drinking yourself to oblivion while working at your place of employment and then harassing and threatening the patrons. TAKE MY ADVICE AND DONT GO THERE.
