8 Best Dive Bars near Joliet

“Aaron the bartender is great! Thank you! So friendly, so kind. The drinks are super fun / cute, and I especially recommend the pina colada. The service is excellent, the vibe is very cute. Went on a Tuesday night around 9-10:30 - it was quiet which was nice, but livened up towards the end. The drinks could be a bit better which is why I gave 4 stars and not 5 - but I'll absolutely be back :)“

“It is a very cozy and clean place, where you can enjoy sports or games of chance since it has gaming machines, the prices are quite affordable, they have a small menu, with very good flavor, the sandwich we ordered was accompanied by a delicious meat juice, good attention from the bartender, and you can play your music on the jukebox!“

“This is one of those hybrid biker/boater bars. Always a good crowd at bars like this.

And even on a Thursday there was a good, friendly crowd. I was the only biker but there were a bunch of fishermen hang out and the only people that drink more than bikers are fishermen!

Service was great, beer was cold, shots were strong enough.“

“got the fish dinner last night. excellent food. and prices were good“

“My cousin’s car got stuck outside of Larry’s. When my other cousins and I went to go help him, some Good Samaritan regulars of Larry’s gave their all to assist us. We waited inside of Larry’s before we could get the car serviced. The bartender was awesome; she immediately offered us water. Everyone at Larry’s was super concerned about the situation. Good, nice, genuine people and a friendly neighborhood bar. The drinks were made well, too. I’ll definitely be back!“

“Been at Big Basin for about 9 years now, love it there. It's the closest to home and the lowest price of the three marina's on this section of the river. I just need a launch ramp and a dock, but have really enjoyed Big Basin. Parking lot gets a tad crowded on the weekends (of course).“

“AWESOME place! Really welcoming atmosphere. The owner is THE BEST!!!“
