Totally cool retro vibe with affordable drinks. Dare I say dive bar? It does maybe have a little basement scent, but when you feel like a friend over at someone's house I guess that's what you get.

This is one of the few Joliet bars with food and its super cheap! The place smells like cigarettes and "booty - hole" (let me know know if that's appropriate Yelp) the bar is full of regulars.

There's fun things including a pool table. Even with the name of it we still think it's a pretty cool bar. It's one of the few not fancy looking places in this part of the city. There's a few parts of it with their own atmosphere and gatherings. Basically it has a couple entrances. One is where they have the pool table. It's about $5 to get a basic cocktail. We got something with whiskey. Main bar area is in the middle. The other entrance goes to another seating area full of tables. Here is where to go if not sitting at the bar. They sometimes have events such as live music. Good bar that's better than many think it would be. It's located on Highland at Grove. They're open late including both weekdays and weekends.

We originally learned about the biscuits and gravy because we stopped in the afternoon before to try their corned beef and Reuben sandwiches, so I'll touch on both. On Friday we arrived right at 9:00 AM, when they opened. Beth was also the bartender that morning. There were already a few people at the bar and a couple of tables occupied, which is always a good sign. We knew right away we were in for a treat after Beth welcomed us with her fun personality. I noticed a large jar behind the bar filled with Tito's vodka and a serious amount of peppers. My immediate thought was that it would make a great base for a morning Bloody Mary, and I was absolutely right. After ordering a couple drinks, we both ordered the biscuits and gravy, which also came with scrambled eggs and bacon. The gravy was very tasty and not overly spiced. The bacon was crispy, and the eggs were fluffy and served hot. By the time we were ready to leave, Beth had a full house, yet she handled everything perfectly. I forgot to take pictures the day before of the corned beef and Reuben sandwiches, but both were excellent. The great staff, friendly crowd, good food, and reasonably priced drinks make this a place we'll want to visit again and again.
