“ Super dope spot! My man and I came here for Bloody Marys (I heard they were good) and ended up having a few drinks. Our bartender Anthony was awesome - fun and relatable. We put on some jams and were all singing and having a great time. Crowd was nice. Definitely will be returning. ”
“ Love the people, and the atmosphere. Drinks are great, too, and the KJ/Karaoke DJ, the bartender, are all amazing!! ”
“ Taco truck outside 5 stars easy. Drinks inside amazing, bartenders were awesome running around like crazy. ”
“ First off i am laughing at the negative reviews. (There's clearly a handful of Divas and problem children for sure reviewing this lol). This place is great and i have been going there since 2013. It used to be a Great Blackhawks bar but for whatever reason it stopped. (had a red light on the ceiling when they scored and loud train horn that mimmicks being there) but its no longer there and they don't even put the game on anymore (yes, i want to watch even if they are not good anymore). But prices are good and the Frozen pizzas are incredible. I sometimes go for the pizza (and im not joking...their meatlovers is incredible and i still cant get over that its frozen pizza). Anyway, great bartenders, very nice atmosphere overall. It is located in the nice part of Joliet so every once in a while you get riff raff from the east side make its way there (hence negative reviews). 5 stars all around. ”
“ Amazing! Nothing else to say about it. Just amazing my favorite bar out of the area ”
“ I host their The Feud game there on Tuesdays. They only have frozen pizza at this time but they are building a kitchen in back. The place right now is decorated as Willie Wonka's chocolate factory. The special decorations are only there until January 7th. I suggest you go there & see them. They also have Wonka inspired alcoholic drinks that you need to try. Sam behind the bar & friendly & attentive serving your drinks as soon as you order them. If you're looking for a fun friendly place to go for a drink & to see what The Feud is all about come by on a Tuesday the game runs from 7 til 9. ”
“ Th bartenders are great, the crowd is fun and karaoke on every other Tuesday and every third Friday is always a good time! DJ Batman keeps the music going and has the best selection of karaoke around! ”
“ I love the staff. They really treat you well, even when they get absolutely slammed with customers. It's give them 10 stars if I could. ”
