Got some great drinks and okay food from this Joliet bar. It happens to be one of the many sports themed ones around here. Longshots has plenty of TVs for watching games or whatever. A simple menu of greasy classics. The prices are cheap and that's the best thing. Certainly a bigger place than expected. It's located in a strip plaza but takes up a large portion of it. The bar goes way back when you get inside and there's plenty of tables. In the front are the games. You can play pool or slots. It's about $6 for a basic cocktail. They also have a few specials. It's about $5 to get an appetizer. We got the Chips And Salsa. A lot of the menu is meaty. They have things like frozen pizzas but also pastas. Has enough room for large groups. It's located on Jefferson Street in a strip plaza. They're open later than most other places and even later on the weekends. read more

Hang out spot for the fragile minds. Drink selection is very poor, jukebox is heavily filtered. This place is not the vibe. Service was poor, unfriendly. read more

great place to watch a game when having a good meal. stop in and say to the friendly staff.

Fantastic Staff! Friendly, fun and attentive. They're all really great. Food is really good. Apps, mains, pizza, specials. They have it down. Eight (I think) reasonably priced pool tables. Just $5/hr. Tables all got new felt (9/25). They also sponsor league play. Give them a try. You will not be disappointed. (not affiliated with this business. Thank you for your attention to this matter. Lol) read more

It's big! There is a large horse shoe bar, an area with pool tables and extra seating, a center section with low tops and high tops and a small stage in one corner. There are some TV's, mostly at bar. The tv's are small compared to what a lot of places have nowadays. A few in the area with pool tables. Music is decent. Nothing exceptional, but low enough for conversation. We were here last night and tonight. Bartender last night (don't remember her name) was very personable and took time to introduce herself and chat. Tonight, different girl and not so much. Decent beer selection. Mixed drinks poured right. Good menu with variety: salads, pizza, nachos, sandwiches, calzone, wings etc. We ordered nachos and a calzone. Our food took awhile, but probably because of calzone. Food was good. Came out hot. Will definitely stop here again when in the area. I think this would be a great neighborhood bar if we were living nearby. read more

On my quest to find the best bar in Joliet, I stumbled upon this bar. I enjoyed this place because it had a positive vibe. There's tons of pool tables and games. Bathrooms are clean and the lighting is great to say the least. This bar has easy access finding parking as well as accessing the bar whether you're coming east or westbound on Jefferson. This bar is open until 3 am Friday and Saturday night. The bar has a great food menu too but unfortunately the kitchen was closed. Bartenders are friendly. Alcohol prices are moderate. People here are by far the friendliest of all the bars I've visited in joliet. Definitely would come back. One of the better bars in joliet. read more

Best Thursday lunch deal. Fresh pressed burgers with all the trimmings for 2 bucks. Ice bottles of Heineken, $2.50. The barkeeper, Jenny, is as easy-going as she is easy on your eyes. Great food, drink, service and pricing. Plus lots of free parking. read more

I've tried many things to eat on their menu and haven't had one bad item. If you enjoy big screen TV's, high top tables, Billards and a bar, this place is for you. If you need to host a party, you won't need to worry about the food or drinks at all. They keep everything flowing smoothly. The staff are friendly and are very hard workers. If I could give this place a 10, I would. read more

Very nice place. Drink prices are awesome. The lady working the bar bar is very nice. She smiles, which is good. Pool tables are cheap. Very cool environment. You can come here and spend less than $25 dollars and enjoy your self. read more

Huge bar, great food and good prices. I had the NY steak sandwich with fries, it was outstanding.

Lots of tv's, good drink specials. Been here before. Seemed decent enough. Nice place to meet friends. However, on my last visit (during first Hawks/Lightning Stanley Cup Playoff), the bar tenders (2 blondes) left a bit to be desired. They spend a lot of time disappearing together (about 15-20 minutes with no one behind the bar). Not the way you operate a business. When I went outside they were texting and smoking. I smoke too, that's fine, but seriously. One at a time. This isn't the high school bathroom. No one manning the bar (one waitress on the floor was trying to pick up their slack), and there were at least 15 people sitting at the bar. Not an empty place. Wasn't at closing time. Had to ask the bar back to get them so I could pay my tab, get beer, etc. Otherwise, I would rate this place a 3-4. I might come back, but will walk out if the service hasn't improved. read more

I love this place. They have specials every day, including 1/2 price appetizers and cheap beer. (Saturday only $10 buckets, but still a good deal). At the worst, it's $2 for a domestic beer. That's damn good, for a place with a ton of TVs, a huge bar, and pool tables. It's close to where I live, so I've tried most of the menu, and almost all of it is not just good, but delicious. Top recommendations: buffalo wings, $2 burgers (Wednesday and Thursday), cheese sticks, and anything off the Mexican menu. I'll admit service can be slower during big sports events. But I saw what the last person said about not being welcome if you're over 24. Well, I'm 30, and always feel welcome. I've made friends with bartenders and some of the regulars. And there are regulars here of all ages. It's definitely a sports bar, with occasional events worth checking out. Bathrooms are super nice. read more

Awesome food, great drink specials, good for watching sports & relaxing environment. I definitely recommend if you want to have a get together with friends & or family. They have a lot of pool tables & excellent friendly service. You can play your own music on the jukebox as well!! read more

Went here one day after work with some coworkers... service was alright. Noting special and the bartender was sort of snotty. If you want to feel as if you are annoying someone this is a good place to drink! read more

I've been here a few times. Not my regular hang out. The service isn't great but it's a bar not a fine dining experience. Pretentious? No idea where that guy is getting that, Joliet bars are all pretty dive-y. It is basically a big pool hall with tv's that typically have sports on. They have a decent selection of drinks(this is not a brewery don't expect it to be). In my experience the other customers are just average Joes. I'm 30, rotund, and bearded and I fit right in with the scene. The food was not bad and the pizza was great. I'd give it three stars but I think the other reviews were unfair so I'll give it a 4th to even things out a bit. read more

This place is very big & spacious which is an A+ for me. Good music, great crowd. Although the bartenders are pretty much stuck up. They were charging me different prices all night. The bar was nice it's self but the bartenders were really rude & had bad attitudes. read more

Great place-lots of space, great food & drinks & .50 pool games! Friendly staff & patrons!! Stopped in at lunchtime & boy was I surprised! Enjoyed the $2.00 burger w/ all the fixings!! & absolutely loved the bartender! (Jenny rocks!) read more

A big pool hall that looks impressive and replace the formerly bar code 52. However the service at this bar was awful and unless you are under 24 you are not welcome in this bar. A typical pretentious Joliet bar read more

Better order 2 drinks, service has no definition here Even with multiple servers on the floor read more

I have been a weekly visitor to Longshots for several years now. Have put up with LOUSY service since my early visits to the bar. Also have put up with poor timing on food delivery. My last order was chicken wings, food served cold to me. I'm not kidding when i touched the wings they weren't barely warm. Of course the server dropped and left. Yesterday I asked 3 people to put on Bellator Mix Martial fights, it was on free TV., 1st person said I will talk to mgr., never heard from her on topic again.2nd person was the mgr. I don't know if we get that channel , no Bellator. 3rd person said not sure if we have on our plan. Well there is one way to find out someone nerds to check. She didnt do it. Will continued to go there but never order food from them and will start ordrrong only water. So fed up! read more

AWESOME PLACE! VERY big place with plenty of room for everybody! Too many pool tables to count, a dance floor, a horseshoe shaped bar with three service stations, and PLENTY of seating! They also do parties, and fund raising events! They also have a full kitchen with delicious food, NFL Sunday Ticket, and EVERY UFC event as well as all you major local sports teams (Blackhawks, Cubs, Sox, Bulls) Drinks are very affordable so you'll never feel taken advantage of either! I definitely recommend this place if you're in the Joliet area! read more

The bar has excellent service and the atmosphere is good. The service is very good, but there is not a good craft beer selection. Overall I would suggest the bar to anyone who likes to play bar games such as pool and darts. Also there is an abundance of TVs witch play non stop sports which is great. It's a great bar to have fun with friends. read more

Great place for food and drinks, and to watch a game. Have one of the best Carne Asada steaks in town.

Favorite place. Lots of pool tables never any trouble their. really relaxed atmosphere

If you play pool this is a 5 star place. They have 8 or 9 tables that play great and a pro shop. Their food is really good especially the nachos. The beer is always cold and delicious which is an obvious plus. The service at the bar is good most of the time but.if it is busy getting service out on the floor is kinda slow. If that improves it's a 5 star place for pool players and bar goers alike read more

Don't play pool much but when I do this is the place. Great wings and chilli. Good looking bartenders..nice place to be..

The wait staff and customer service is very very poor. You will wait for a long time before someone even comes over to take your order, and when they finally do, they don't come back around at all to check on you. Eventually you will have to go to the bar to get what you made need and to pay your bill. If you want something done you'll have to get it yourself. read more

The food and drink specials are great. Tuesdays are dollar domestics. Wednesdays and Thursdays two dollar burger and fries, on fridays from 3 to 6 is happy hour. read more

Terrible place for service. Only thing going for that place is the pool tables. Sat at the bar for 20 minutes waiting for a drink and when I finally interrupted the bartender from her conversation she actually looked at me like I was causing her trouble to take my drink order. read more

I would have given them five stars if I could have played pool with my husband. All the tables were taken by the league. It would be nice if they could leave a table or two open for customers. The layout was weird but it does seem like they are still working on it. I was worried about a former review saying they give you bad service unless you are under 24. We did not have any issues as both my hubby and I are both in our 40's. I loved the food and the service was great! The other thing I like was the touchscreen game. The other reason reason I did not give five stars was I felt that $1 is too much to pay for a claw game where you can get stuffed animals. But overall a great experience. read more

The service is horrible! The bar tenders are not on point and seem like they could careless. You practically have to make a scene to be seen. The food is ok depending on I guess who cooks it or their mood. Thuggish clientele in and out. keep moving... read more
