I was at Reve this Friday, and honestly I'm giving it the rating I am because of it's potential…read more Reve is a great idea, but unfortunately they don't seem to be marketing it well with the right crowd. This Friday the club was completely empty, even after 11p. The location for the club is great because it's inside Hollywood Casino Joliet, the drinks are well made, and well priced, and the club is very swanky and comfortable. The problem is that nobody knows it's there. Hollywood Casion is pretty much in the middle of nowhere so unless you like to gamble your not likely to have seen the advertisements for Reve. Furthermore, Hollywood Casino Joliet tends to attract a much older crowd than the usual clubbing crowd. I think Hollywood Casino would have been better off putting the club in smaller, but much more urban Aurora location, but alas they did not. I'd really like to see Reve succeed so I hope that Hollywood Casino does a better job marketing it in the future, but It's not worth the 25 mile trip out there yet. Especially since there are several other casinos much closer to home.

I went there this Saturday night with my girl I would love to give it 5 stars cuz it is a five star…read moreplace it is absolutely beautiful in there. Killer sound system and lighting is awesome they have cabanas you can rent for VIP. The only reason I didn't give it a full 5 stars is because there wasn't a lot of people there. I spoke to the manager he was a great guy and told me that they're booking some real popular DJ's so it should pick up. this place is very clean and classy inside. We will most definitely return with our friends more people should give this place a chance. Go there and see how absolutely awesome it is inside youll love it. it's kind of like a hidden gem you gotta walk past all the old people playing slots at the casino and then you walk into this kick ass club. II honestly think people don't know it's there because if they did it would be packed.

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.

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.

The prices are kind of high for a place like this. It has some cheap good drinks. Most kinds of things one would expect. They have mostly typical mass produced beer in bottles it seems. For those only caring if it's cheap it is. The bottles of common stuff like Bud are $2 or so. Food isn't served here but it can be brought in. Get delivery from a few places. A place for some betting entertainment. The slots provide the rest of the excitement behind the watching of sports events by active and not so active individuals. Beer and cheap cocktails are the main source of fun here. It also has places nearby to deliver pizza. There's also slots.

I saw Fritz's Pour House on Facebook, and was intrigued. On a Friday evening, I took my husband…read morehere to check out the food. A few folks were dining in, and the bar was full of guests. The atmosphere was that of a typical bar, not exactly quiet, but to be expected. The waitress was friendly and greeted us promptly. We ordered drinks and nachos as an appetizer. The nachos were crunchy with plenty of tasty toppings. My husband ordered their Jambalya. I've never seen anything like this. It was a pile of tomato paste (yes, it looked to just be tomato paste) mixed with some shrimp, and rice. This was taken home, well the shrimp were, the tomato paste was discarded. I ordered the Mississippi Pot Roast Dinner, which came with Steak Fries. The pot roast was tasty and well-cooked. The steak fries were tasty and not over-salted. If they had a clue how to make Jambalya, they'd have earned more than two stars.

Ever since I learned that there was a speakeasy in Lockport i've always wanted to check it out but…read moreI didn't want to go there by myself so I finally convinced my wife to visit the Speakeasy with me. We figured it would have been the perfect way to top off our evening. For first-timers it might be hard trying to find the speakeasy since at first I thought you had to access it from the Busy Street and walk up three flights of stairs. Actually you just walk inside of the Embers building, find the elevator that's kind of hidden and take it to the Third floor. I thought that the little trip up felt exclusive already. Once you're at the third floor you are treated to a beautiful array of scenery. Exit to your left and you were treated to the bar and some great tables with a cozy, intimate setting. I'm not sure if it was open seating since there was a little podium right off the elevator so we just sat ourselves. Some speakeasies require a certain dress code to keep up with the times. This one thankfully was casual though many people dressed business casual. We actually loved how the staff dressed as well. I have to try their Japanese sex drink and I absolutely loved every ship that I took. The drinks are fairly price. They did have a food menu but it was mainly snacks and small plates that were a bit overpriced. If we're having a large Gathering they have a big private room next door. This place does have a lot of great events going on as well with their upcoming Valentine's Day event that looks really interesting. It does get pretty busy as well after 7:00 p.m. from our experience. Overall, I was excited and enjoyed our visit coming to the 933 speakeasy!

933 Speakeasy is located inside Embers in Downtown Lockport. I loved that getting to the bar was…read moretruly an "in the know" experience. It just so happens that I visited the night of a holiday bar crawl in lockport so the inside wasn't set up how it normally would be. For being packed, we were still able to grab a cocktail table to enjoy our drinks at. The bar was decked out in holiday decor to get everyone in christmas spirits. My group got two rounds of drinks which included the Toasted Pecan Old Fashioned, Figgy Smalls, Christmas in a Cup, Happiness is a Warm Puppy, Milk & Cookies, and Maple Bacon Old Fashioned. My favorites by far were the Toasted Pecan Old Fashioned and Figgy Smalls. My group also loved the Milk & Cookies. The bartenders hustled to get drinks out and still took time to smoke the old fashioneds to perfection. I'd love to come back on a normal night and re-enjoy this lockport hotspot.

It's a small space and it definitely gets crowded, but that's part of the charm. You're packed in, close to the stage, and fully in it with everyone else. There is an upstairs balcony if you want a break from the floor, but most of the action is general admission and the sound down there is really solid. Loud, clear, and exactly what you want for a show like this. They sell food but I can't speak to that as I've never gotten it but it always smells good. Free parking nearby is a huge bonus and makes the whole night way easier. If you like intimate shows, sweaty crowds, and good sound, this is absolutely the spot.
