“Stopped in here on a hot summer day during Bluegrass Festival 2024 before the crowds hit. The vibe of this place when it's not crowded is awesome. I felt transported back to the 1970's just walking through to get a drink and catch the bluegrass band on the patio. The bartender was busy making many drinks for the patio crowd but was attentive, the drink was great and inexpensive, and the atmosphere is something that you just aren't going to find in a strip mall or a cookie-cutter brand name bar. If you are ever in Frankfort, pay a visit here.“

“First time stopping by, because we were working down the street. But definitely not the last time I'll be stopping in! The atmosphere is great, the bartender was super friendly and nice, the food was absolutely amazing too! I highly recommend this place for a good sandwich and a nice cold beer to wash it down!“

“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!“

“Awesome place. You would never expect such great food from a place out in the boondocks. I like the tomato basil wrap and hubby loves the fish sandwiches. Prices are so reasonable with great portions. And the seasoned fries are to die for! Love it! We go out of our way to go to this place for food.“

“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 :)“

“Low key bar, not a big place but cozy. They have slot machines but no pool tables ? Bartender was very attentive to our needs and came over to chat while I was playing my favorite slot machine, she also enjoyed playing the same game. I know this is random but the Women's bathroom door was the cutest ever. Outside looks like a small cramped but nope. It was surprisingly big and clean“

“I loved it! Its in a corner spot was able to find parking! Gypsy was our bartender she made some awesome drinks! small spot but theres a lot to do you can sit at the bar or at a table! food truck outside has delicious tacos
bathroom was nice and clean
no complaints here! definitely coming back to try more drinks“

Staff is attentive, knowledgeable and friendly. Great food and drink specials throughout the week. Definitely would reccomend checking this place out!“

“Stopped by this interesting little brewery / taproom on a whim. Their beer is good, the service was good. Apparently they have food trucks but I had already had lunch. I grabbed some carryout beer to try the brews I didn't try while I was there.“

“Good food . Good service . good atmosphere 👍“

“Michelle is the absolute best. She makes the atmosphere even better than what it already is by her love for her customers. 100% go back again“

“Ummmmm, I do not remember being here. I must have had one hell of a time because I do not remember being here at all. I do not drink too often, so if I was here and did drink, that would explain a lot.I guess I had a great time. I hope I did not cause any trouble. If I did, I apologize. It's those dang Coronas and tequila mixers that do it every time!I hope I kept my clothes on and did not swing from any chandeliers upside down naked.If I did, I made it home safe, and thank you for not calling the police on me. If I offended anyone, sorry.5 stars and great digs!“

“I don’t often post a review on here about a business or a person, however, City Tavern in Joliet has one of the best, kindest, most conscientious bartenders I know.. thank you Mike Monty.. Monty.. for always treating the patrons like you care about them!!! Cheers to you!! 🍺🍺🍺“
