KEPT US WAITING IN THE RAIN BECAUSE ONLY ONE PERSON OUT OF THREE WERE CHECKING IDS. There were many employees standing at entrance that could have expedited the process.we paid for an event. Unacceptable.

I came here all the time considering I grew up in champaign, but recently it's just a pile of crap. Mainly because of the staff, the staff are horrible horrible mean people. Even though I go there all the time, I'm going to stop going because of this issue. I got screamed and yelled at and cursed at by the manager to go to the back of the line because I was taking too long to get my ID out. Maybe I should've been ready instantly, but that reaction was out of line. I've been cursed out more than once by this place, told to "shut the f*** up" when a minor inconvenience happens they go all out screaming and yelling and won't give you answers or reasoning or even look at you. They don't care, you are a number and a wallet, you're money, not a human at this place. They treat everyone like animals, boy or girl, i'm a girl so don't think you're special or have girl privileges. Never in my days have I been kicked out, and recently they've hired a man who looks like Trever Lawrence, who abuses his power, he's the worst of them all. You may hear his name in line when you're about to go in because he's always watching everyone like a hawk, and he's a freshman. He's not even a manager, and he will kick you out for anything he doesn't like. He won't listen to you, he will cuss at you, he finds enjoyment in kicking people out. My friend dropped his ID in line, and he stepped out for a quick second to grab it, when he tried coming back into line, Trevor yelled at him to go to the back, and smiled, he enjoys this. The whole staff is nothing but grouchy people, this place needs to hire people that like their job and treat people with respect. This bar was a fun place, but now I see why people go to Kams or Lion more. Joes will be nothing but that last option bar unless they change something.

Great food.Great drinks.Great service.Great tenders.Great music.Great atmosphere.
Big spacious college bar that offers both inside and outdoor seating options. They don't actually brew any beer here.

Not very clean here. College bar. Went there for an event.

Didn’t let us in claiming we made fake ids, liars never go in. music didn’t even sound good.

Folks, I regret to inform you all that I have seen many health-code violations at the So-Called "Brewery". The infractions consisted of Joes employees participating in the act of "Body Shots" with customers. I don't know of. anything more unsanitary than this. Also, why are they called a brewery if they don't brew beer there?

A block after leaving Joe's I realized I had lost an item and went back to search for it. One worker opened the exit gate so I went inside, only for bouncer to yell that because I had stepped out thirty seconds prior I had to leave. I tried to explain I had lost item and asked if if he can help me find it only to be told "No!!!" and get pushed out. Stood in line to get back inside only for the rude manager to inform me I wasn't allowed in anymore because I was "too drunk" (laughably false but I guess it's their default response to mask egregiously unprofessional behavior). Manager offered one of the most backhanded "apologies" I had ever heard, zero willingness to help me find lost item and said that the bouncer pushed me because he was "stressed." In bouncer's defense, if I worked for such management, I would be stressed too!Don't line the pockets of these scums...Zero stars!
