We went for a birthday celebration, the server was amazing and accommodating. He allowed us to put the cake in the refrigerator and brought to go plates and plenty of silverware for us to eat while we were there. The drinks were fantastic and the food was delicious. Giovani was the highlight of the restaurant, he was knowledgeable and a great mixologist.

The drinks were amazing, a little pricy but to be expected when you are ordering good cocktails. Their paloma was great and so was the service. The vibes were also great and our 2 bartenders who made our drinks definitely deserve some praise because they are literally the only bartenders in the area that can actually make mixed drinks, and do it good.

I’ve been here many times but i had to stop going because the music is so LOUD. It is so cute inside, I love the decorations, the drinks are amazing and i’ve had the food a few times and it was fine, but you literally cannot hear someone right next to you over the music. It would be perfectly fine if people danced but there’s no area to dance so no one ever does. Unfortunately completely kills the point of being out with my friends if I can’t hear the person right next to me, let alone someone across the table from me.

Stoped in and was instantly greeted. The atmosphere was very nice, sat in comfy couches and had an amazing raspberry lemon martini. Service was great. As a side note, we accidentally left our wallet on the table and the bartender ran it out right before we were driving off. We will definitely be back and highly recommend if you are in the Joliet area.

Great service and good food and drinks . I ordered the steak and it was delicious! The only downside was they had the garlic sauce served on a plastic lid to a container which seemed tacky. Otherwise, the steak and fries was absolutely amazing. Drinks were pretty tasty as well. Will definitely come back.

Amazing. Will be back. Get the old fashioned.
Great place
Our favorite spot for food & drinks! Every employee is amazing. When we first arrived, vonte gave us the warmest welcome. Our drinks were always filled and the food is beyond. I will recommend this spot to everyone!
Everytime I come here I have the best time. Jovany is a GEM. He is a master mixologist!!! No joke he always has a smile and his reccomendations are top teir. You can tell him flavors you like and he can come up with whatever, and it’s always fire!!! This is our favorite Thursday night spot.
Booked their candle making & bouquet class. Purchased tickets in advance. The night before, I get a credit card alert for a refund in the same amount. I went to look at my tickets for the event, which are now gone. The event is removed from their Insta. But I didn’t receive any email or notification that it was canceled. I tried calling. No one answered. I showed up the next morning. The bartender was really nice and said she thought the event was still on. She apologized for the inconvenience and said it was inconsiderate I didn’t receive a notification. She called the owner, who was very rude. Implying I should have known it was canceled because I received a refund. I will never go back. I went the other month for their Justin Bieber “event” where they advertised themed drinks and activities. No themed drinks. Just his music videos playing 🙄

Found this place looking for a different place for my mom and I to hang out at. It’s amazing! great vibes, very nice people, great drinks! will definitely return. Our server Samo was great!
Cork is definitely a staple here in Joliet. The pop ups always exceed expectations and drinks are SO GOOD. If you have not been here this is your sign to go! The staff is super friendly, very diverse crowd anyone can feel welcome here. The food is good if you’re looking for a good time in Joliet, THIS IS THE SPOT!
Everytime I come into Cork there is always a nice and warming welcome from the staff. The music is always fitting for the vibe and the DJs take requests! The drinks are delicious and cute! The food is perfectly cooked and is obviously made with love. I'd definitely recommend stopping by when in the Joliet area! <<33
White People Friendly. ☺️
“Chef” can only cook a handful of items on the menu and even those overpriced dishes are not worth it.
Service is a huge let down. I’ve only had good experiences with the one female server with glasses. She works efficiently and professionally.
Cleanliness being another mark that’s missed for them. Filthy work stations and bathrooms. Someone who is making drinks and passing out food should always wash their hands behind the bar after touching people, their mouths and BATHROOMS.
Will not be returning to this place.
I stopped by to have a late afternoon drink. It was quiet, music excellent, and staff genuinely friendly.
