We were greeted with a smile by Ashley, our awesome server, who welcomed us and brought drink menus. Midtown Wine Bar is located downtown Manhattan, Illinois, which is a small, quaint town. I've wanted to stop here for a glass of wine since it opened in December of 2019. The bar offers an assortment of cocktails including, mimosas, margaritas, martinis, and mojitos, as well as red wines (Pinot Noir, Malbec, red blends and Cabernets), white wines (Pinot Grigio, Sauvignon Blanc) and BBC an assortment of domestic, import and premium beers such as Busch Apple, Modelo, Goose Island and Twisted Tea. The bar has a neighborhood feel which is one of the reasons I love the Chicago area. I feel relaxed and am enjoying the experience. Will be back.

A bar in the middle of nowhere. You're going to get exactly what you expect. I went here to check…read moreout a buddy of mine's band. Pretty cool little set up. They played outside on a spacious deck which is nice. Better than being cramped up inside a smelly bar. Interesting, pro-war crowd of drunks. Which can be expected, considering it was "Support the Troops" night. Didn't appreciate the pushiness they had though when it came to it. I don't know how many ways I can say, "No. I don't want to buy a raffle ticket for a TV I don't need to support the troops." This is America, our government loves war, I'm sure the troops are getting plenty of support. The lady then proceeded to try and talk my brother into buying a ticket for me and at that point I really thought about leaving...why don't you buy a raffle ticket for me lady, if you're so into supporting the troops? People like that annoy me. And that's exactly the crowd this place has. $10 to get in. Not sure if it's always like this, but man, that's kind of a lot for a bar out in the middle of nowhere. The beer was cheap. That's a good thing. The bartender wasn't the friendliest person in the world, but she was somewhat quick. Believe me people, a smile here or there goes a long way. And it's not that hard to do. I believe I said this already, but I really enjoyed the fact that they had an outside area. It was a nice night out. Free jello shots by the end of the night. Nice. My friend's band was great. Overall, this place was all right. Just the people who worked here were not the friendliest and the fact that they were so in your face about buying raffle tickets was definitely something I did not appreciate. Hopefully I'll never have to venture out here again. So UGH.

The camping experience was awesome. *The mobile showers * Garnier Fructis station ( hair done, free by professional stylist ) * Food Truck (tacos & burgers) * Shuttle bus that ran to walmart 3xs a day) * Fireworks every night @ 10pm * amusement park rides * Craft tent ( made a rave stick & flower head band) * charge tent ( keep cell phones & laptops charged) * water stations to refill bottles and packs & Best of all, there was a warm tent that stayed open 24hrs a day. When the weather got a bit chilly, I ran for shelter to the warm tent. A community grill was on deck & every morning we could cook scrambled eggs, fry sausage & make tea & in the afternoons we would grill burgers & host a bbq before heading to the concert grounds. If someone was too intoxicated to walk back to their tent , EDC volunteers would happily escort us back to our tent via golf cart. There were various music stages to see our favorite EDM artists.The music was epic and I remember being told by a Joilet Police Officer that there were 9,000 911 calls from the Joilet residents from Thursday night to Monday morning of the event. The residents could hear the music from a 20 mile distance & thought that was some type of bombing occurring at the camp site! The scenery was full of fun & laughter. I remember seeing some tent neighbors bring a life size "Connect Four" game to the site. The tent lanes/rows had creative street names such as "Creativity Lane" or FoFo St". I made so many friends here and will be back to EDC Chicago in the years to come!

No traffic in and not much on the way out. Security check points (3): not as tough as I told it would be. One time the security girl asked if I had anything in my pockets I said no and she just let me walk by.... I also had on rugged boots that could of a fit a million things in them and nobody checked. Oh and I also had opened chapstick and their website clearly states NO open chapsticks, but I was a bad ass and got it in, haha. I've never been to the Speedway before so I was in for a surprise. As soon as we entered the pit was filled with laser shows (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/electric-daisy-carnival-chicago-joliet?select=CwZSgSBMXVnpjwcyKmxmlw#t4DFOnHGs2X4w0FS0mnxSA), carnival rides, and pretty daisy. We can't control the weather and it was less than ideal esp. Friday night where temps drop to low 40s, but the DJs rocked EDC Chicago! I danced all night, every night, for three nights straight! It's a pretty close call for which night was my favorite: Saturday or Sunday. Saturday night Armin was amazinggggggggggg! His set is so good that I listen to it while working out! As for Sunday it might of been muddy and rainy, but the rain brings all the crazies out! Definitely a memorable one! Plenty of port-o-potties and food stations, also if it was raining you can buy a poncho at the general store and they opened up the garages. Endless supply of free water at the water stations and plenty of beer sellers. Definitely a fun experience and from experienced EDC Las Vegas peeps EDC Chicago is a big tease and I'm quite alright with that because it is the "road to Vegas" and it's definitely building my anticipation! See you in a few weeks EDC Vegas!

Moya, the host, was incredibly sweet and so apologetic about the wait for a table--which honestly flew by because you could tell how well the place was being run. Once we sat down, our server Luke took amazing care of us. He was personable, attentive, and made the whole experience feel relaxed and fun. The food... WOW. Truly phenomenal. I had the Nashville wrap and my brother had the meatloaf. Everything was cooked perfectly. The mashed potatoes and green beans that came with it were just as delicious--comfort food done right. What really stood out was how much the team cared--Kelly, the GM, even came by to check in and make sure everything was perfect, which says so much about the level of service here. Despite how busy it was, service never skipped a beat. That's rare. Also, the patio is such a vibe! I already can't wait to come back in the summer and hang out there. If you're anywhere near New Lenox, this place is a must-visit. Amazing food, incredible staff, and such a great atmosphere. This place is really something special!

I didn't feel much love from the service as far as the greeting goes. Luckily, the brisket sandwich was phenomenal with great taste and texture. Unfortunately, the elote corn was served cold and had way too much of an extra hint of lime, so I couldn't finish it. Everything else felt a bit costly and overrated. If you're going, go strictly for the brisket!
