Joliet Restaurant & Bar Reviews
Whether you are in need of the best morning coffee and tasty sandwiches or pastries (to die for); mouth watering pizza evenings with a great classy cocktail; vegan platters, lobster rolls, line-dancing, salsa, house music…. Is there anything the amazing couple running Joliet (Alex and Olivia) cannot do, and do great!?? Come check for yourself but spoiler alert, the answer is No! Do NOT tell too many people about the speakeasy behind the coffee bar… open until 2am…
Hosted my mom’s 80th bday party with a full restaurant takeover. Was the perfect venue for 30 people with added live music by Kimera. The Irish / Venezuelan owners’ hospitality was spot on, and the craft cocktails stole the show. 5-stars.
We hosted my daughter's 2nd birthday party there, the owners were so accommodating and let us setup the space however we wanted and also were very generous with setup and clean up time! The food and drink package was wonderful, so nice to have food that adults will enjoy too right on-site and don't needed to manage separate caterers. Everyone loved their meatballs. Thank you for a great event!

The venue is perfect for hosting events, featuring a beautiful bar and a fully customizable space.

The Joliet experience can vary based on what guests are looking for. It is recommended for a pre-dinner drink, with a well-designed bar area ideal for small groups. The atmosphere is festive and elegant, with fun live music provided by DJs like DJ Samsonite, adding to the overall vibe. During happy hour, drinks are favored over food, as the dinner menu is considered basic and may lack flavor. Nonetheless, it provides a pleasant setting for a quick bite or drinks with colleagues. Many visitors praise the cocktails and the lively atmosphere, making Joliet a good spot for both casual hangouts and special gatherings.
