Checked out this place in Joliet after going by it many times and it beat expectations. It may be a…read morecramped bar, but it's full of old school charm and cheap hooch. Bobby's Tap has a simple but still pretty great variety of beers and liquors to choose from. For sure there won't be anything exotic so it's not fancy and overpriced. The staff and the regular customers seem okay and respectful. Basic looking bar. It's a little free standing building between a crummy looking motel and a Mexican supermarket. That sounds like a sketchy area, but the bar is clean, and there was nothing crazy going on in there. Basic beers to choose from. They have most in bottles and cans, of course with a few more on tap. It's about $5 to get Jameson. Pretty good prices. Also free popcorn, along with whatever they bring in. The bar only has an inside, so there isn't a patio. For sure it's a better bar than it looks. It's located in a pretty boring area on Plainfield Road. They only have free popcorn for food but you can bring in stuff.

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.

So I try this place again bc people tell me I might of just had a bad experience. So, I go there…read moresober as a squirrel. Order a round of shots ( 3 shots ) and a beer. I then order 1 more beer and 1 shot. I get my tab and I'm charged 5 shots and 1 beer. When I questioned it they acted like they don't know what I was talking about. I cut my night short. The red headed girl bartender, Monty and Ryan are the only reason I go there. Everyone else scams you. Might have to find a new neighborhood bar. Really tired of being over charged.

JBD White Horse used to be one of my favorite go-to spots. The beer is always cold, the food is…read moregood, and for years it was the kind of laid-back place I enjoyed coming back to regularly. Unfortunately, lately it feels like things have changed--and not for the better. My biggest issue is the inconsistency and constant upcharging. I used to order the same meal all the time and swap my side for vegetables with no problem. Now suddenly I'm being charged an extra $6 for vegetables, but at the same time I'm not even getting the side that's supposed to come with the meal. So basically, I'm paying full price for the sandwich, losing the included side, and then getting hit with another charge on top of it. What makes it even more frustrating is that it completely depends on who's working. Half the staff handles it one way with no issue, while the other half acts annoyed if you even ask about it. I even showed a receipt from the previous day proving I wasn't charged extra, and the response I got was basically, "It is what it is." That's not good customer service, especially for loyal customers who have been coming in for years and know the menu and pricing by heart. I don't mind paying for food, but I do mind feeling like I have to argue over sides and pricing every time I come in. It's disappointing because this place used to feel comfortable and consistent. Now it just feels frustrating and awkward, which is unfortunate because the food and atmosphere are still good.

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.
