    Joe's has been remodeled, still has sawdust on the floor, but it looks fresh and clean. Come on down and buy me a drink.

    Day time crowd at Joe's is the best! Night crowd not my fav. Bartenders are attentive & fun! Maria makes the best bloodies Sundays

    Favorite bar in Chico right here! Classic old time college hangout on weekends. Joes is known for its wood shavings on the ground

    The sawdust, the peanuts, the back patio, and 1:30AM when the entire bar is inexplicably singing Don't Stop Believin' even though Journey sucks

    I really liked this place. We were visiting Chico, and seeing what yelp had to say, and the…read morepub-plus-Magners-on-tap-plus-fun-looking-sandwiches made it a winner. We had kids with us, so we got there an hour before it became 21+. Everyone was friendly, the food came pretty quick relative to how hopping it was. We ordered: Pho-rench dip (w/fries)--I think this was a DDD sandwich, so it's not some hidden gem, but it was super tasty. You cannot go wrong. The slight lime-iness of the dipping broth really kicked it into turbo. Also, we all likes the steak fries--a note on that later. Chicken Cheese Steak (w/fries)--my wife loved it. I tried a bite, and it was great--a little mushroom-forward, but we like that. Mac and Cheese--do not be fooled by the slightly smaller bowl, it is very filling. My son can eat his birth weight in pasta, and he had to tap out! I tried a bite--it was creamy (not grainy at all), and was just the right amount of salty and cheese-funky. Grilled cheese and tomato soup (w/fries)--perhaps the least successful for my family, but only because my daughter prefers a smoky/spicy tomato soup, and this was more on the sweet side. The griled cheese was of the "crispy cheese on the outside" ilk, which my daughter thought was really good. So, totally would go again. IMPORTANT NOTE (to people traveling through Chico, or who don't want to take leftovers)--the sandwiches are pretty big, and the add-on fry order is also sizeable. If we were going again tomorrow, we would either order 1 fry instead of 3. Or split a sandwich. Very very good pub.

    Let me start off by saying how much I really enjoyed the food here! Excellent menu! Yesterday was…read moremy first time here, came in from out of town and really wanted to check this place out. 100% on the food. Ordered the tuna melt and had a delicious coconut cocktail. I would come back for that and sit at the bar! Service- absolutely awful. Our server, Hadley, was very cold, unwelcoming, unhospitable, never once smiled or even tried to fake excitement for having a guests. As someone who has been in the service industry for 20 years, I know first rule is drop your attitude at the door and be nice to the patrons spending their money. We came in to unwind and shake off some recent stresses in our life, she did a great job trying to spoil that for us.
