Friendly old school bar that was hosted by a welcoming, gregarious, & professional mixologist. Enjoyed the diverse clientele.

This is the dive bar you've been looking for! Great atmosphere, amazing bartenders! (Monty on Tuesday and Wednesday is the best! ) even a mini bowling alley!!! You want to unwind with a cold beer and a good time this is the place. If you want to pay too much so you can brag about how much you paid go somewhere else.

This is more of a response to lil "Gustavo G": So I was there on 4/17, and I'm a whole black woman, and the bartender was 100% sober and not at all racist. You came in wanting a long island, and got mad that you couldn't close your tab out being under the minimum limit for a card transaction (which is clearly posted on the bar), demanded that you be double served the same drink (which is illegal if you know what's in a Long Island), and slammed your glass on the bar demanding another drink after you chugged the first one. So before you call somebody a "racist drunk" have your story straight and learn how to be an adult. I have never been served by a more professional and courteous bartender like him, and deserves all the stars! The atmosphere was amazing and you decided to be a total jerk to the bartender. Deuces.

Stopped in for a shot and a beer before getting on the Rock Island Metra. Great service, excellent prices, and good company. Will be back for another handshake!!!

A good place for cheap ass beer. It might be the most affordable place in Joliet to get hammered. Judge's Bar doesn't judge if it appears you may be drinking a lot. Cool old school feeling place that feels like it could have been the middle of last century where hard working fellows went after work to have some good suds and fun. They have some of the cheapest beer including Heileman's Old Style. It doesn't have much to look at here. Pretty much a typical looking dive bar with longtime regulars. They have obviously found something special about it and I think I know what. Cheap beer. It may be the cheapest place in Joliet. There seems to be a crowd of regulars who agree about this. Happy hour is the best. They're even cheaper if that's even possible. Heileman's Old Style is here. It's $1.25 for a pint. That's crazy cheap for all this. Also cheap ass cocktails. The wells are popping at happy hour. Good place for watching some ball games. It has lots of cheap suds and is a classic place for regulars to hang out. There's no food here but you can order and bring it in from somewhere.

First time coming here. I've passed this bar plenty of times but have never walked inside. I finally took a chance and I was really happy I came here. The inside feels really vintage and like I was sent back in time. They got great drinks, they are sold at great prices, it's got a great vibe and it's in the heart of this small city. I definitely wouldn't mind coming back. Parking can be a bit of a hassle too.
