First time coming here, was looking for a great casual place to relax at and wanted to finally give this place a chance after passing by it and contemplating visiting for years. Plenty of regulars come here. It was bingo night and they had a little shop here on the other side. Drinks were fairly priced, didn't have anything too extraordinary. Clean establishment as well and friendly service. Overall, casual establishment worth checking out. read more

Here is another bar in a plaza that isn't all bad. It has some fun and gaming. On The Rocks is good for fans of sports. Always has a game on a TV and pretty quiet sometimes which isn't a bad thing because you can actually just hang out. The prices are pretty good too. It has some pretty cheap prices on drinks and food. Most wells are really cheap and have a very nice pour. They seem to be generous most times. It's about 2 for a pour. The need for drinking should accompany the need for eating something. It doesn't have much in the way of food. They have some varieties of pretzels. It's $1 for a container full of some. Games here also include slots if you're into playing with your money. It sometimes has good odds. They have had quite a few winners. read more

I love this place! First, they're not known for their food. In fact they only have frozen pizzas. The drinks are your regular drinks. Why is this place awesome? The people, the music, the sports, the bartenders (I know, they're people too). When I first moved here I would go to J&J and someone told me to go to OTR to watch the hawks play. It was next door to my place so I stopped and never left until I moved away. Now I come back just to visit. Still my favorite place. read more

The place is so nice and always decorated for the holidays but the afternoon bartender today always has such a horrible attitude. She never smiles she doesn't make you feel like she gave two craps about you coming in and drinking there. It's not a good experience with her. Will come on another day when there's a happier bartender. What a shame. read more

The staff was so rude and it took forever to get a drink. When I complained Rachel the so-called manager just kept giving me dirty looks all night. It made me feel real uncomfortable. Didn't like this place at all. read more

Strongly recommend coming here. The staff is always friendly, the service is always quick and the patrons are always cool. Good place to watch the game and they let you order food from other restaurants since they only have frozen pizza. Pretty cool. read more

Nice little place to drink. Decent bartenders. Good specials. Try the Bloody Mary's on Sundays.

Great Atmosphere and the staff is attentive and accommodating! Nice crowd! great local hang out. Absolutely recommend checking out!

Last night I watched the bartender Melissa, harass a guy for not paying his tab (the guy said he did). Someone then paid his tab for him to keep the peace. Then, another off duty bartender named Kristen went into the parking lot and started calling the guy who paid the tab a fa##ot while he was saying his goodbyes to the wedding party he was with. What a terrible representation for the bar. read more

First, it is a sports bar, Nothing wrong with that, Especially if you are a sports fan First thing I noticed is the table and chairs are in very good condition. Nice to sit at tables that are not wobbly And sturdy chairs. Reasonable drink prices that's a big plus. Can get a bit loud inside but that's expected at a sports bar. Staff is friendly, have not waiting too long to get served drinks Music lot overly loud, nice to you can have a conversation or order a drink without yelling Nice restrooms, This place should meet most people's expectations. read more

Came on Friday night for the sole purpose that their website says they have $3.50 Absolute and Effen flavors. Perfect, my friend and I's favorite vodkas. Each had a few, total bill should've been around $20 for what we had. Bill was over $36. When I asked the bar tender about the special tonight, she looked over at her manager (who was out talking to people at the bar after she had just gone behind the bar to make herself a drink) and her manager said oh no that special is on "like Tuesdays or some thing. Not Friday's" i mentioned the website and she looks at me dumbfounded and said " Oh yeah that website has not been updated in like two years. Yeah absolutely not." And when I told her oh that's ridiculous that's the only reason we came, she sarcastically goes "yeah it'll be fixed tomorrow." Thanks lady. Was offered a free beer from the bartender, turned it down because I don't drink it. Bartender was great, not her fault but her manager didn't seem to care one bit and offered nothing to compensate (take off a drink or two, honor the special, or even a simple apology). See ya at Double J down the road read more

On the Rocks - Specials. Apparently they're all wrong so who cares, just completely ignore them. Be sure to ask when you get there. Or call in advance. - Sports Bars Near Me - Joliet, Illinois

Love this place. I've only been here a few times but it's a nice sized bar and the workers are all super friendly. I've never waited long for a drink and they're all very engraved with their customers. It's also super clean so that's always a plus. read more

Great specials. Great bartenders. Good location. Nothing bad to say about this place

Fantastic and out of this world entertaining staff around. Great people good drinks. What a great time. Entertained the whole time during bar bingo. Won several great prizes all of us. Deff going again. read more

GOD DAMN I Love the bloody Mary's here, even better on the weekends with the extra calories (chicken chunk and slider). My favorite part about this place is the bartender Kristen!! Hey gurllll read more

Great place. Friendly folks and a great time. On Sunday's they give back to a different local charity of the month. Good music on the Jukebox. We went in for a drink and wound up leaving 4 hours later. read more

The owner lets his dog (a chihuahua) run on top of the bar when everyone has their food and drinks on the bar. It's so gross and unsanitary. I don't care if the dog is freshly washed. I'm not trying to end up with dog hair in my food or drinks. read more

Was. Nice place , had a good time. Went to see our friend Christy on her first day of work read more

Awesome place! Great crowd, music is always good, Sunday bloody Mary's are amazing! Highly recommend.

Went here with my husband, the bloody Mary's are very good, The drink itself is absolutely one of the best I've had.but all the extras they put in it Michael White Castle hamburger, pepperoni cheese pickle olives and celery make it over the top.. read more

They do garnish their Bloody Mary's with a White Castle slider. However their garnishments are not always consistent, for example my groups did not include cheese or pepperoni but other drinks leaving the bar did. Great local bar, however I believe they were under staffed for a football playoff sunday game. read more

On the Rocks - They garnish their Bloody Mary's with a White Castle slider! - Sports Bars Near Me - Joliet, Illinois

Place pretty busy on Saturday night but didnt take long at all to get drinks. Pretty friendly crowd. Place is kinda small and too bright inside. Should dim lights a bit. read more

I went with a couple friends . We decided to plan our visit for a Sunday so we could enjoy the supposed best bloody marys. They came with a chuck of chicken and a White Castle slider, with pepper and the other usual garnishes. I really liked the look but the taste was just way off. The slider and chicken were cold, slider soggy. I realize this drink is hard to pull off but if you can't do it right, concentrate on making a stellar drink. I ask if I could have mine extra spicy. Instead of adding more spice, it tasted like she poured half a jar of pepperoncini juice in it. Bartenders are also very rude. Instead of walking to our table to give me my drink, she screams the the top of her lungs over a loud crowded bar...."HEY!!!!!!" Super ignorant and unprofessional. Loud obnoxious bartenders/ patrons and one of the worst Bloody Mary's I have ever had will keep me from going back again. read more

I'm a regular here. The service is great.Great bartenders . Great place to have a cold one and a game and chill out. But lately its been more a sausage fest. Where in the past you have more female customers or an equal share of male and female customers. It feels like your just tending just half of the demographic like a month a go I was there I know things get busy and crazy I had to get the bartenders attention after numerous atemps for the female next to me I had to get the bartenders attention for her and it happened 2 more times. There is know other place I would go in Joliet than O.T.R. its my Cheers. I feel welcome every time I come here. The ladies that work there are top of the line friendly. I know I sound like Jon taffer but that How I look at scenery and the vibe of the place. read more

Best Bloody Mary I have ever had hands down! Also we had a blast with our server Christie. I highly recommend this place and I will definitely be back. Keep it up guys. read more

I love this little bar! Huge on sports (NHL, NFL, NBA) more toward Blackhawks! There are a lot of TV's at every angle so you won't miss a second of the game. I been here a couple times and it's the same 2 bartenders. They are very fast, personable, and they are great entertainers! On game days they pass around free shots every 15 minutes it seems like. Don't know what type of shot it was but hey it's free! Not pricey at all and I usually get the tab and after me and lady were there for 3 hours drinking about 5 beers a piece and a couple shots and mixed drinks I think I spent not even $60. read more

Out of all the bars in Joliet this is the most unfriendly I have been to. Bar service is slow and drink are made extremely weak. A 7 and 7 should not be clear. The bar is small and the dog running around is the worst. read more

Favorite bar in joliet. Good specials and nice bartenders. The interior is prolly the nicest of all the bars in Joliet. They have video gaming if youre into that, and one dart board (they could use another board). Very spacey inside. read more

Absolutely love this place! Come here after work all the time. Such a chill place to hang out!

This place has THE BEST BLODDY MARYS IN THE WORLD!!!!! You have to stop in and try them...even without all the garnish it is an amazing drink. Now on the garnish - if you show up Sunday morning there can be anything from cheese, sausage, olives, sliders, pickles, chicken, etc.... Made special by Debbie aka Red. The staff is amazing - everyone is great (especially Red). Great new favorite place! Even without the hanger this is a must have! read more

The bartenders never charged you the same price twice. Redds Apple ale $7.00 second one $6.00. Other bars $3.50, will never go there again. If you decide to stop in watch your money very close. Especially if your running a tab. read more

Best bartender in town !!!! We love Red and her Sunday bloody's!!!!!!! Always a fun and safe atmosphere ....

Sorry Double Js, Sidelines, and Paddy's. Also, the staff was very nice to us new customers despite juggling many what seemed to be regulars/ close friends. read more
