The atmosphere is pleasant, with background music. The building has old charm, but at the same time seemed new and fresh. We started with fried calamari, which V said was the best he had in a while. I suspect it should have been taken out of the fryer a few seconds sooner, as I detected a hint that the breading was slightly burnt. I ordered a chopped salad with grilled chicken. It was quite tasty and had generous portions of blue cheese and bacon, yummy. V had a Lamb Chop which came with mashed potatoes. He enjoyed his meal, it the lamb was cooked well done, just like he ordered. We shared a slice of Blueberry Cheesecake, and it was the perfect finish to the meal. We would definitely come back again, from hospitality, to atmospher and food, it's a very good experience.

Big Mexican population in Joliet so it's no surprise there's a lot of such restaurants in the city…read more It has many that are on the authentic side such as this. Azul Celeste is a fun gathering place for drinks as well as food. Has okay prices on most items. They have a not so big menu but there's still plenty of options. A kind of unassuming building. It's located downtown, which isn't pretty. The inside is a lot better, with fun things like slots. A lot of cocktails to choose from. It's about $10 for a margarita. A few flavors are available. I got it with the mango. A limited menu for food. It's $10 for guacamole. This is great for dipping chips and other stuff. Chill atmosphere early and later gets better. It's located in downtown on Chicago Avenue at Benton in a building that looks sketchy. The menu has cocktails, taco, and other things.

I saw Fritz's Pour House on Facebook, and was intrigued. On a Friday evening, I took my husband…read morehere to check out the food. A few folks were dining in, and the bar was full of guests. The atmosphere was that of a typical bar, not exactly quiet, but to be expected. The waitress was friendly and greeted us promptly. We ordered drinks and nachos as an appetizer. The nachos were crunchy with plenty of tasty toppings. My husband ordered their Jambalya. I've never seen anything like this. It was a pile of tomato paste (yes, it looked to just be tomato paste) mixed with some shrimp, and rice. This was taken home, well the shrimp were, the tomato paste was discarded. I ordered the Mississippi Pot Roast Dinner, which came with Steak Fries. The pot roast was tasty and well-cooked. The steak fries were tasty and not over-salted. If they had a clue how to make Jambalya, they'd have earned more than two stars.

933 Speakeasy is located inside Embers in Downtown Lockport. I loved that getting to the bar was…read moretruly an "in the know" experience. It just so happens that I visited the night of a holiday bar crawl in lockport so the inside wasn't set up how it normally would be. For being packed, we were still able to grab a cocktail table to enjoy our drinks at. The bar was decked out in holiday decor to get everyone in christmas spirits. My group got two rounds of drinks which included the Toasted Pecan Old Fashioned, Figgy Smalls, Christmas in a Cup, Happiness is a Warm Puppy, Milk & Cookies, and Maple Bacon Old Fashioned. My favorites by far were the Toasted Pecan Old Fashioned and Figgy Smalls. My group also loved the Milk & Cookies. The bartenders hustled to get drinks out and still took time to smoke the old fashioneds to perfection. I'd love to come back on a normal night and re-enjoy this lockport hotspot.

Ever since I learned that there was a speakeasy in Lockport i've always wanted to check it out but…read moreI didn't want to go there by myself so I finally convinced my wife to visit the Speakeasy with me. We figured it would have been the perfect way to top off our evening. For first-timers it might be hard trying to find the speakeasy since at first I thought you had to access it from the Busy Street and walk up three flights of stairs. Actually you just walk inside of the Embers building, find the elevator that's kind of hidden and take it to the Third floor. I thought that the little trip up felt exclusive already. Once you're at the third floor you are treated to a beautiful array of scenery. Exit to your left and you were treated to the bar and some great tables with a cozy, intimate setting. I'm not sure if it was open seating since there was a little podium right off the elevator so we just sat ourselves. Some speakeasies require a certain dress code to keep up with the times. This one thankfully was casual though many people dressed business casual. We actually loved how the staff dressed as well. I have to try their Japanese sex drink and I absolutely loved every ship that I took. The drinks are fairly price. They did have a food menu but it was mainly snacks and small plates that were a bit overpriced. If we're having a large Gathering they have a big private room next door. This place does have a lot of great events going on as well with their upcoming Valentine's Day event that looks really interesting. It does get pretty busy as well after 7:00 p.m. from our experience. Overall, I was excited and enjoyed our visit coming to the 933 speakeasy!

It's a small space and it definitely gets crowded, but that's part of the charm. You're packed in, close to the stage, and fully in it with everyone else. There is an upstairs balcony if you want a break from the floor, but most of the action is general admission and the sound down there is really solid. Loud, clear, and exactly what you want for a show like this. They sell food but I can't speak to that as I've never gotten it but it always smells good. Free parking nearby is a huge bonus and makes the whole night way easier. If you like intimate shows, sweaty crowds, and good sound, this is absolutely the spot.
