What People Are Saying About Joes

The Scene – Action-thirsty crowds throw back ice-cold beer and munch on typical bar food. Pine booths and tall wood tables are filled with young, enthusiastic college alums throughout three rooms of big bar space. There's an outdoor beer garden that seats 200 and a VIP section upstairs in the back room. Almost every major university is represented with flags and banners, and fraternity paddles hanging behind the bar (don't worry--there's no hazing). Some 80 smaller monitors allow visitors to watch whatever they want; mini-TVs adorn booths. – – The Draw – On weekend…

by radchad at Citysearch
by far the worst sports bar in chicago!!! it's way to big to be fun! and worst of all - they rob you!?!? and by that i don't mean high drink prices they actually STEAL from you!! i had my jacket and a bag hanging from my chair. after our game they saved the jacket in their office but stole my bag!! are you effing kidding me!?!? one of their bus boys, "i never seen your bag." i go to the management and they DIDN'T even ask the staff?!? what kind of service is that?!? after this i'll be lobbying for my school to never watch games there again. which will cost joe's thousands of dollars! if you're reading this posting be warned - this is an AWFUL bar!
- Pros: the food is not poisonous
- Cons: they steal from you

A Great Hang Out
by stelstarz at Citysearch
Joe's is the best Hang Out in the Chicago land area. First of all, you can see just about any sporting event on one of the many, many TV's. And if you're into bands... Joe's books only the most popular talent. They book all kinds of music, and with Country Music being really "in" right now, Joe's booked some of hottest names out there. Be sure to get there early to avoid any lines, and give yourself enough time to have a great meal before the band starts.
- Pros: Great Entertainment, Ton's of TV's, Fun

interesting sports bar
by drnnph at Citysearch
Joe's is not very typical of a sports bar. When I went last Saturday, a rap band "17th floor" was performing. The rappers were really good (by far one of the best rap performances I've seen - energetic, well coordinated and great voices), but it was still a little odd in a sports bar. Joe's had a 2 hour free drink special with a company but the drinks were nasty. We waited for over 20 minutes to get in and the bar wasn't even that crowded. Overall, Joe's has a nice setting: you can sit inside or outside and everyone is pretty laid back.
- Pros: nice setting, laid back, good music performers
- Cons: long wait at the door, bad 'free"drinks
