Joes on Weed St. ever!!! Havent had a bad experience yet! My bf and I love it so much we have it more than we should. Our absolute fav is the Pastrami Pizza Gourmet style!! Pickles, pastrami and mustard! Might sounds gross. But its heaven in your mouth!!!! We work down the street and sometimes order delivery to work they never disappoint! I definitely recommend it to everyone!!!!

This is a great spot to watch Steelers games. The food portions are huge and reasonable priced. Some of the beers are a bit pricey. My only gripe is we never got a refill on water in the 3 hours we were there for the game. Other than that, everything was good.

Tons of seating and, given the time period, excellent work trying to practice healthy distancing and mask enforcement. Food wise, absolutely love the pizza and the buffalo chicken egg rolls. Very good

Fun sports bar with tons of TVs playing lots of games. Loaded tots were a delicious option, and there were plenty of beer options.

Staff is always nice even when they have a full house. Definitely worth going back to. The bill was well within reason for the quality.

Came here Thurs night for a rooftop comedy show and it was great. Our server was very attentive, and the tables were spaced out. We werent allowed to walk away from our tables without a mask on, and it was enforced so it was great.

Great place to watch live acts. The sound could of been better quality, but the venue and proximity to the artist more than made up for it.

We came in on a Saturday night, and ordered 2 plates (5 or 6 pcs each I think) of their smoked wings as a snack. They are served naked, so they are a wee but smaller than you might expect, but let me tell you what: these wings were AWESOME! The 2 sauces we picked were tasty and still allowed the smoke flavor to come through. They were so good in fact, we immediately ordered another set of 2 plates to try other flavors. I am a big wings fan, AND a BBQ fan, so these are firing on all cylinders! Our server was great, and my beer was cold. Cant ask for anything more!

Joe’s is one of the best, and certainly most under-rated venues in the city. From country music, to trivia nights, to football games, Joe’s back stage is always a quality place to be!Food is okay, drinks are good and relatively cheap (for Chicago). It’s their venue that gives it 5-stars. If you can, see your favorite band there and get there early to get by the stage!

I had a blast here attending Ryan Hurd concert!! Just the right size for a venue!!! Thanks Joes!

Good food, good service, valet parking, and reasonable sound levels in the dining room.The bands were terrific and the sound system good. You can see some great bands here and enjoy a surprisingly good meal without breaking the bank.

Review №23

Went there for the Randy Rogers band. Decent venue and security wasn’t too bad but sound acoustics aren’t that great and gets crowded and uncomfortable very easily. Also, I gave the bartender money for a drink and instead of bringing back my change, she just threw it in her tip jar and walked away. Not a good impression

Mi
Review №24

Great venue for watching a sporting event, a casual meal, or a live music event. The staff provides friendly service and the food is classic and well prepared.

Review №28

Attended a special event here which was fairly disorganized. The bar food was average as well as the drinks. Valet parking was $20 cash, up front, as soon as you exit your vehicle which was more than fair in the city.Summer employees are kids directly from Ireland which was fun especially when I asked to hear their impressions of American accents. All the employees were friendly however the decor was stale and dated. Probably a great weekend drinking place. You absolutely should go there to enjoy a drink or two and to speak to the young good looking kids from Ireland.

This place is throw back for me I remember them quarter beers and 2 dollar pitchers on college night Tuesdays. do you guys still have this ? good place for sure.

This place is super cool. It is huge. There is a main bar a back bar with concert area and an upstairs bar. I was here on a Saturday night around Halloween everyone was dressed up in costumes and the 80s cover band 16 candles was awesome. Everyone seemed to be having a great time and we got a little too wasted. They pour them strong. Seems like a younger hipper crowd but there were a few odd couples. Bar tenders whip out the drinks pretty fast so eventhough it was crowded there wasnt a huge wait at the bar. Worth a trip if you are in the area.

I like atmosphere in this bar especially photos on the walls. Nice music background it perfectly makes my mood. Beer is really good here! Just ask a barmen to recommend you one and you wont regret!

Fun, fun.. great atmosphere. Saw a country concert here, had a few shots before entering. The venue is intimate, wasnt overly crowded or hot at all. Then a couple of nightcaps in the sports bar area and that made for a great night.

This place is a joke; there was a free event for women before 1AM, but they had women waiting in line in the cold for hours before 1AM charging $100! I Will be contacting better business bureau

Review №38

They were extremely rude when I simply asked if they had found a credit card. Only a few bartenders were willing to even talk to me about it. The rest of the staff was very rude and pushed me away. DO NOT RECOMMEND.

Ive only been here to attend comedy shows. Got there early to grab a bite to eat and both times we got slow service. Took longer than expected to place order and request beverages. We had to get other servers to find ours. Food is ok fried bar food. Probably wont eat there again if we got back for a show. Parking can be hard to find. Venue is nice and big. Any seat is a good one. Servers in venue are on top if it, no complaints once in.

Awesome place - definitely want to visit for a concert. I visited during a slow time and was given awesome service. Will definitely be back.

Review №46

This used to be the best place to see a country concert and even a NCAA game. It has gone way down hill in the last couple years as all the concerts and probably focus has gone to their Joe’s Live venue in Rosemont. The bar/restaurant is in need of a serious facelift. Holes in seats and worn tables are some of the many things that need fixed. The patronage is pretty odd, mostly a college crowd and a mix of let’s say interesting folks that trickle over from the OTB next door. The concert area was always great, but irritating with the number of drunk idiots and waitresses carrying cases of beer through the crowd constantly. I’m hoping at some point they split the concerts up between the two Joe’s venues.

I went to the place for a 90s night, I always try to hear the quality of the bands but also the sound inside the place, there was an Alice in Chains tribute band that sounds PERFECT, the place is great and the staff is very helpful and friendly.

The birthday package is fantastic and if you like the sports bar atmosphere this is the place to go too. Parking can be a bit scarce but youll find a spot eventually, make sure you read and look for street signs if not youll end up with a ticket.

This is the 2nd time weve used this venue for a fundraiser. There are plenty of bars to take care of the guests, they are accommodating to our needs and somehow the parking was very easy downtown Chicago.

We only popped in for lunch while shopping, so we didnt get the full experience. My fiance got a grilled chicken salad, I got a chicken quesidilla and a bowl of chicken noodle soup.With this said I expected just standard bar food. But what we got was a,Wow, ok!, moment . Apparently theyre not just scooping processed chicken from the can (or a large plastic bag) , like most bars and grills are doing. Nope these guys are in the back cutting chopping rotisserie style chicken making each bite tasty, juicy and delicious. Which then made the meal far from the normal blah.Finally, our server was awesome, totally on it, water full as it emptied, attentive for everything we needed as well as check up ad she walked by. Best part as well was her look. She looked like she just got off the plane from Nashville. Daisy Duke southern Belle style, if you will but without being trashy. Overall great experience, we will be back to see for sports events or a show.

5-stars because Joes is there to serve a purpose, which is to house live music and serve alcohol.It’s also great for sports or horse racing. But that is where you need to understand that’s about it.Service has always been great, they know how to serve that booze.

Absolutely love this place for concerts. They have a great mix of up and comers as well as bigger names. 3 bars located surrounding the GA area make it easy to grab a drink while enjoying the show.
