“This is a great, laid back and easy going establishment to relax in, with a friendly staff and great customers. I often hang out there and read the Tarot for Friends and tell Ghost Stories for fun. Conversation is always interesting, and there's always something going on, either a great game of pool, or good sports on the TV. You can catch up on the local neighborhood news, and see what your Friends have been up to. Having a smoke outside and chatting with people is a great way to meet new people. The food is great, and a good selection too. This is a great place to just hang out and have a few drinks. Stop in any time, you won't regret it!!!“
“Great place and friendly people for a dive bar. They not only have renovated but the outside is being done right to show they are a too class establishment with budget prices! New felt on the pool tables as well as video gaming. Check it out!“

“Marissa was out server. We were visiting family from out of town. She was super friendly and on top of things! Food was good enough, nothing like wow worthy. Would come back! Atmosphere and service is the difference maker here for sure!!!! Will come back to avoid in-laws!!!!!!“
“Friendly atmosphere and good food , fast service. we asked for gluten free food and they knew what it was! When I visit Joliet to meet with my good friend, we always stop at Vela's for lunch. Is it the good food? Yes! Is it the friendly, but professional service? Yes! Is it the kind of place where you can just relax,spend time and not feel rushed with friends or family in the warmth of an enjoyable restaurant? Absolutely! The cost of lunch, also makes it a practical choice for families and friends to enjoy. You know I love it so much, that I'm going back tomorrow.“
“Excellent adult beverages, prepared expertly by Michelle. I highly recommend the $2 early bird specials. I enjoyed her dirty gin martini, stirred, not shaken to avoid too much dilution. Michelle attracts an intelligent, well mannered soft spoken clientele. Check it out for yourself soon.“

“Wonderful server, she went above and beyond to make sure we had the best experience. Brought out holiday treats and extra chips for us and made sure our drinks were always full. Phenomenal food, good sized plates for a great price. Loved this cute little place! Perfect for a cozy and fun lunch/dinner.“
“I had my wedding shower here in their private section of the restaurant. We had around 45 guests and it was amazing. The staff were amazing, especially Andrea and Tricia, the food was great and the bloody Mary’s were so tasty! Highly recommend having your private event here!“
“Stopped in to see some bands last night. The owner remembered me from my chemo party I had there 6 years ago. He is a great host. One bartender refused to let us order food even though kitchen was still open another hour. I noticed the cook and asked him, he said put in an order. Went to different bartender and she put in our order. The owner then came and brought us some delicious pickle spear fries. Good night!“
“Nice little place. Have some nice games to play and some bingo nights and stuff like that. Food is really good for a small little bar. Wait staff was friendly and service was great. If your looking for a nice casual place to go hang out while you have some food and play some games and watch some sports , give it a “
“This is the best bar in Joliet. You can and experience the best atmosphere the best beef sandwiches in Joliet. You will find that the bartenders are very welcoming, nice, and good-looking. No drama. Please come down and have some fun and enjoy.“
“We were in town visiting my mom and wanted a place to play pool. Didn't know what to expect when we pulled into the parking lot. So glad we went it. It was clean, great food, bartender super friendly.Great place to unwind, eat and play some pool and darts.“
“The good: Great food, cold beer-- love the patio! Somewhat of a dive, but a comfortable one at that. Prices are great and the people friendly. The bad: Flat soda, dirty soda gun, food is faster than the drinks, that drop off from the bar area to the patio by the door... I plan on revisiting again, its a great little hideaway!“
“I've heard alot of talk about this establishment in the Joliet area from locals. I know it's been open for years so I'm surprised it doesn't have more reviews. It's an old school neighborhood bar. It can easily be confused as a house. Small but cozy establishment with a great atmosphere. The bar features a fair variety of drinks. The bartender Jerry was also friendly. The bar has clean and really warm bathrooms. A beautiful patio and a pool table too! Prices are fair and parking isn't bad either. Always a fan of neighborhood bars like this so I wouldn't mind coming back“
“Came in here for the first time in awhile. Sat down, and got some of the best service ive ever gotten ever. I look much younger for my age, so the bar owner was understandably cautious when i presented my ID. Once he realized i am the age i do not look. He was the friendliest guy, and everyone at the bar started talking, and joking like i was a regular. The food, drinks, and service is a 10/10. This place is everything a good irish pub should be.“
“This place has always been great. The food is awesome, the employees are all cool and you see them having fun while helping each other out all the time. Everyone still seems to be having fun even when it's busy and they're still moving quickly when it is.“
“We were there for the burger special - really pretty good and great price. This was our first time in quite a while since we've been here.Service was great. The atmosphere was OK...oh the TV's were nicely placed, but the lighting and general ' vibe ' felt a little cold ...We'll be back in a week or two to check the place out again...“
“I've lived in the area for quite a while and had never tried this establishment. A friend suggested it, and although hesitant, I joined the group. It was really nice! The drinks were great, and the wings were delicious. We played pool and darts while listening to choice music! Our waitress was attentive, and that made the experience even better. Good job, Stone City!“
