The atmosphere is intimate and cozy, with just the right volume of music to enjoy conversation. The service was excellent, attentive yet unobtrusive. We started with the Fire Roasted Meatballs, Burrata & Prosciutto with Fig Jam, and Ciabatta Bread, all of which were fresh and flavorful. The Eggplant Parmesan and Potato Croquettes (with prosciutto cotto, mozzarella, and roasted red pepper aioli) were also incredible. For the main course, we shared two pizzas: * Burrata & Honey - A perfect mix of San Marzano tomatoes, fior di latte, soppressata, hot honey, and chili flakes. * Diavolo - A bold and delicious combination of San Marzano sauce, fior di latte, soppressata, ricotta, and chili oil. The grand finale was dessert, and the Tiramisu cake was absolutely divine--light, creamy, and the perfect ending to our meal. Overall, Forno is a gem. The restaurant is the perfect size, the food is top-notch, and the experience was memorable.

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.

Checked out this place in Joliet after going by it many times and it beat expectations. It may be a…read morecramped bar, but it's full of old school charm and cheap hooch. Bobby's Tap has a simple but still pretty great variety of beers and liquors to choose from. For sure there won't be anything exotic so it's not fancy and overpriced. The staff and the regular customers seem okay and respectful. Basic looking bar. It's a little free standing building between a crummy looking motel and a Mexican supermarket. That sounds like a sketchy area, but the bar is clean, and there was nothing crazy going on in there. Basic beers to choose from. They have most in bottles and cans, of course with a few more on tap. It's about $5 to get Jameson. Pretty good prices. Also free popcorn, along with whatever they bring in. The bar only has an inside, so there isn't a patio. For sure it's a better bar than it looks. It's located in a pretty boring area on Plainfield Road. They only have free popcorn for food but you can bring in stuff.

Dark wood, long narrow room, stools, tables, low and high, and lots of kitsch on the walls. The people were welcoming and felt like a family place. The waitress knew off the top of her head all the specials and what they were out of. I had the pork tenderloin sandwich special. You'd think it's a bad idea to order pork tenderloin parmigiana at an Irish pub, but it was a pretty good quick lunch. I was not there in the evening, but there is signage to suggest it's a place for live music in the evening, including Irish music on Monday nights. I'm thinking of coming back one evening.

Cool old school feeling place that feels like it could have been the middle of last century where hard working fellows went after work to have some good suds and fun. They have some of the cheapest beer including Heileman's Old Style. It doesn't have much to look at here. Pretty much a typical looking dive bar with longtime regulars. They have obviously found something special about it and I think I know what. Cheap beer. It may be the cheapest place in Joliet. There seems to be a crowd of regulars who agree about this. Happy hour is the best. They're even cheaper if that's even possible. Heileman's Old Style is here. It's $1.25 for a pint. That's crazy cheap for all this. Also cheap ass cocktails. The wells are popping at happy hour. Good place for watching some ball games. It has lots of cheap suds and is a classic place for regulars to hang out. There's no food here but you can order and bring it in from somewhere.

I then order 1 more beer and 1 shot. I get my tab and I'm charged 5 shots and 1 beer. When I questioned it they acted like they don't know what I was talking about. I cut my night short. The red headed girl bartender, Monty and Ryan are the only reason I go there. Everyone else scams you. Might have to find a new neighborhood bar. Really tired of being over charged.

The bar is clean, there's great music playing, there's tons of selection, and it is one of the best (if not the best) bars in Lockport to start your night (and maybe end it). You can bring in food to eat with your drinks. There's a Dave's Nashville hot chicken next-door to one side and a chipotle on the other and they welcome you to bring that food in as well as any other food that you might want to bring and it's a dog friendly place. Also kid friendly in that they have juice boxes/goldfish crackers and board games for the young and old. Finally they have a free tabletop arcade with about 40 some classics from the 80's.

I also grabbed a steak taco, a chorizo taco, and an al pastor taco all decent, but again, the prices were a little higher than I expected. I also tried a steak gordita, which was okay.The music inside was really cool when I walked in, and the service was great. Overall, tasty food, but be prepared to open your wallet a bit wider!
